Thanks.

Apart from the bikes those are my must have units there.

...so in that case, what are the chances that will literally be the contents of the eventual Votann Combat Patrol?

To add to this; the video said it was the first of three Crusade battle reports in a campaign featuring squats, starting at 25PL and going up.

At work so haven't watched the whole video, but it's a 25PL Narrative mission. It being the Combat Patrol box contents is very likely.

If it is, I'm a little surprised the exo-suits are in it. I had suspected they would be seperate.

They posted an article to go with it.

Missed that. I rewatched the first few minutes of the battle report and they showed images for the Berserks and Sagitaur. I can get screenshots, but I think they've already been previewed. Didn't see any mention of the Thunderkyn or Pioneers in the video.

In that case, we don't really know what the combat patrol will be. I still suspect the buggy over the bikes meself.

Enemy units gain Judgement tokens in a number of ways, from completing an action (how dare you!) to destroying a Votann unit (how VERY dare you!), while Kâhls can dole out extra tokens with their Grim Efficiency ability.

This is an extremely interesting take on the Dwarvish grudges and I gotta say I like it.

Extra points for the Max and Paddy quotes.



Clearly design inspiration for the Votann.

So if I perform an action, you automatically get autowounding 6's against me? If I happen to destroy your unit it goes up to 5's? That just seems to me to be a recipe for disaster.

Well, just watched the battle report and it looks good, models are lovely, look even better in action. And you get tokens, I love a token.

What is the iron hammer sagitar? It’s mentioned in the article showing the army list but no new pictures and no one mentioning it who has watched the video, as far as I have seen.

It’s the buggy that was shown off a couple of weeks back. Transport, can come in pairs.

It’s a Saggitaur called “Ironhammer” just like there’s a unit of Warriors called “Vynn’s Voidstriders” - crusade forces have named units.

The thing that bothers me, is the fact that the name they gave to the "Chapter Tactic/Dynasty Code/Sept Tenet/...": is the "League Custom"

So when they give you the possibility to create a custom one, it'd be a custom League Custom

I'd presume it's custom as in "a traditional and widely accepted way of behaving or doing something that is specific to a particular society, place, or time."

You're assuming that's a possibility. I suspect that, as of Codex Chaos Marines, custom <subfaction> is dead and gone. An ex-parrot.
And by the time they work through the 10th edition books, they'll take almost of all them out. Then they'll start bringing them back.

You won't get a custom League Custom. League Custom is set in stone and you should get whacked over the head with a really heavy book describing it in excruciating detail* for the mere suggestion of deviating from it.



*Excruciating detail has the positive side effect of increasing page count and whacking factor.

Also man, it seems like everyone and their mother is going to be running Thurians. 1cp for a permanent, army-wide 4+ autowound against an unit? Yes please.

Was this previously revealed? I don't recall seeing it prior to it popping up in the NOVA thread but I'll concede that I may have missed it.



edit: Thanks for the clarification as it's apparently not new.

Yeah, just a single page back.

It was in last week's Loremasters.

Thanks! Corrected above.

Based on some of the newly revealed bare head designs, I'd say GW have gone with 'demiurg were squats all along'. Perhaps the Tau name for them?

Does anyone have any rough estimates on how large either of the two vehicles are? I'm guessing the smaller one is rhino sized, and the Land Fortress is like a tall Land Raider?

Roughly Rhino and Land Raider sized footprints sounds about right, although I suspect the Land Fortress is taller than a Land Raider. The moon buggy looks like it might be two thirds the height of a dinobot, which sounds about right for a Rhino.

Loads of sweet kits revealed!

A shame that the box is a bit pants, I really dont need the bikes, dex and infantry repetition at this point.

Wonder when the individual kits are going to be available.

As an army starter its good as it gives you a good unit of troops but yeah as a collector/painter first I'd have liked a variety. Might get it anyway as I do love the troops and bikes.
Loving the kits- the characters are really great- the Grimnyr is excellent as is the Brokhyr Iron master and I love the COGs.
The Hekaton is very cool- not what I was expecting but I'm glad its design follows the Sagitaur.Its a nice army overall with plenty of scope for a second wave in 10th.

Well anybody who plays the game 2 units of troops is likely pretty much required...
