LI Coin & free tiny Rhinos!

Sweet! Base decorations for Titanicus!

Reckon there will be (or are there alread) Unit Refence Sheets/Cards online to mirror the official ones?

I think the Core itself comes with a play guide reference?

Personally I'll be looking for scans of the cards because they seem much nicer formatter for play than the stat blocks in the rulebook.

The style of that terrain looked liked Ben's.

For what it’s worth, I don’t recall buildings feeling particularly death trappy in 2nd Ed. The risk was always there it’d be blown up under you, but the benefits balanced the risk.

But. I guess that’s going to depend how common stuff like Heavy Barrage turns out to be. If they’re numerous in lists, that’s naturally going to skew things.

I don't remember them being deathtraps in 2nd edition, either. But they were in Final Liberation, which was the video game released by SSI that was based on 2nd Ed. Epic.

Epic 2nd ed was my prime GW I think...still got armies for it. also loved final liberation (Sanctus reach ok but not as good).


I think if I recall, with my IG army, Bombards were pretty good for hitting buildings to try bring em down. Were Eldar Wave Serpent shields also pretty good or have I imagined that....



I wonder if the old Card n Plastic 2nd ed epic buildings will work at all with LI....might be a bit small.

You know what’s stupid?

Me. I’m stupid. Because all these “if memory serves, if I recall correctly things” are things I can properly answer, as I have those old books under me bed.

But I can never be arsed to go and retrieve them.

If anyone gets hold of the itty bitty Rhino, can they post here exactly how much it weighs?

I doubt it's more than 10 grams.

I am now picturing HBMC poised with a tiny bag of sand in front of the GW altar, just waiting to be betrayed by Doc Ock…

You throw me the idol Rhino, I throw you the whip!

I'm not very versed in HH; I'm guessing a lot of IG specific vehicles don't exist yet? Like, SolAux will use Rhinos because Chimeras aren't a thing yet?

Chimeras aren't really a thing, but Solar have their own unique transports these days instead of the rhino. The Arvus lighter is already available as a FW Aeronautica model, the Dracosan was recently announced, and the Aurox transport currently exists as a 28mm model but might show up in LI later.

Having handled it, it weighs next to nothing. Probably similar to... a termagant that's not on its base.

Yeah I'm hoping we see the Aurox and Carnodon for Solar Auxilia soon, it's basically the last few things that they need to have everything that's in their current 30k range.

Me, old school epic gamer that I am, would like to see the gorgon.

Obvioulsy the next things we're going to see are the fire support expansion boxes (as they're in the rulebook) as well as extra Predator, Sicaran, Leman Russ and Malcadors sets. Probably just after new year.

Had a Gorgon based company in 2nd, lovely models that infuriated with the 1+ save they could re-roll from the front.

of course the tactical guardsmen they carried hit like a wet blanket but at least they got where they were going

updated to be the FW gorgon model in quarter size would be nice looking

I wonder if they could do what Battlefront did with their 15mm landing craft and have a insert for the middle so it can be loaded or empty easily

That's what current prints and 3rd party options like Vanguard Minis do:

yes exactly like that

easy to remove them when they disembark

Should be getting my boxed game on Saturday (assuming I can get my lardy carcass out my pit and flapped down to Chaos Cards for opening), so will look it up then

Lucky you. GW deliveries on new product buggy here AGAIN. Basically weekly occurence. Looks like GW needs to go to 3 week preorders if it wants to ensure products are in stores on launch days.

Spoiler:

The Lazy Forger Land Battleships also do something similar:

A hit from a barrage weapon should instagib anything embarked in a gorgon

Haha yes, but being open-topped is part of the charm.

It has tonnes of armour but some mortar fire would make short work of the poor infantry inside...

Unless of course there is some sort of deflection shielding, or other associated magic

and unless that barrage weapon hits the ground nearby and the blast is coming in from the side

I want to play a 40k FPS where you take on a platoon of Gorgons armed only with grenades.

Well im in the UK and I have a despatch notification for the Core Set...very exciting

(probably just that they have packed it etc and Royal Mail will collect ready for delivery Saturday....but I can dream of Friday delivery ;] )

I'm jealous. Still no notification for me. I can feel a tantrum coming on...

Better that than clear message they won't be pickable on saturday :/

Seriously how did GW manage to go to 2 week preorder window without any real improvement on reliability when items are at stores? Do they need 3 week window to get items in time for delivery to flgs's...

Well they sold out so it's a success, right

There was a noticable improvement for UK FLGS since the summer. There were many issues with stores not getting enough stock in time for the release weekends, including my Tyranid order in September. Not long after that they switched to the two-week window and I haven't heard of any similar (UK) issues since. I've also seen several people mention this week that they've either picked up their copy of LI or had a shipping notification for it.

It might not have worked everywhere, but it has worked somewhere.
