I miseread it as well. Seeing something like this, get so hyped only to be SOOOOO disappointed. And here I thought GW actually changed. Perfect time to get updated Chaos rules and they don't do it. Oh well, still looks like great savings. How much will this be $200 Canadian?

The forgebane box is missing the parts for the helverins if that matters for you.


I think the Forgebane versions should work well enough, dont really need the autocanons plus it's unlikely I'll end up actually playing them. They just look ripe for conversion and bits.

Okay so... is all of that next week’s preorders?

If so, I guess that means that the character guy gets week two to himself.

Also putting all long ranged weapons on an armiger seems kind of a waste of it’s speed.

It's a good flanking unit with that setup. Depending on other factors, it could be a good way to get around bubble wrap and go for the juicy insides.


Eh, without a close combat weapon just about the only reason to move with a long range gun like an autocannon is to establish line of sight on a standard board.

Which is critical when you're wanting to hunt characters...?


If you can get closest, you can charge it.

There’s edge case value to extra mobility, but -standard- rather than -enhanced- mobility generally suffices for a purely devastator style unit.

It's not a Castellan, it's the Valiant. It fired its harpoon into the Keeper of Secrets.

The sheets are the actual datasheets from inside of the army book, just in a format that you can have them as a big 'card' to put on the table and keep track of things.
The cardboard cutouts are usually status markers or relics.

that's amazing ... got the harpoon confused because the shoulder weapons were the turrets instead of the missiles

Actually going by the artwork on the LE book.. You may be able to configure the carapace weapons any way you chose. Also one of those turrets seems to be using different barrels than the known autocannon turret.

That's a good spot with the missiles and turrets. Although I think the different barrels may be down to the perspective.

IDGAF if it costs me $300 for two kits, Daddy wants double Flamers. Really hoping the big guys aren't stuck in one configuration.

Blood Angels, Custodes, Tzeentch, Alpha Legion, Astra Militarum, Deathwatch, Thousand Sons, Imperial Knights, Tau, Genestealer Cult.

I have a problem.

Being contrary for the sake of being contrary doesn't make you unique, it makes you annoying.

It seems like the Terryn trait is mostly good for normal and Armiger knights. Not so much for Dominus class.
Also the advance bonus is often not good, since everyone has heavy weapons.

Would be nice if the next Chapter Approved balanced out points for the Chaos fellas then. The Renegade Knight will be pricey by comparison.

I'd be nice for GW to get their arses into gear and fix it via a single paragraph FAQ the week the codex releases.

It's utter insanity to potentially have to wait six months until CA to be able to play a Renegade Knight House (which now has vastly fewer options), at an equivalent points cost.

Any update/rumors on the Armigers optional loadout? Pictures suggest a double autocannon and stubber/melta carapace. Frankly, if there's nothing more it's dissapointing at best. At least for Admech looking for some options. Ironstrider Balistarius can punch as much for significantly fewer points (even after codex rumored discounts).

Given the melta armiger has a 1/2 strength version of the big knights melta and not just a multi-melta I would think these will have some le improvement over a standard autocannon-perhaps a rapid fire version like the predator autocannon?

On the topic of the new Armiger guns, I really don't like the spindly little cannons but that's a nice and easy conversion for some (hopefully) fairly good stats.

It's a decent platform that needed something new. I'd much prefer more shots at lower strength than less at higher. This with an apparent cost reduction is shaping up to be quite nice.

It's a pair of autocannons with maybe a jacked up rate of fire.
