<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules? IG players go on the offensive & push towards their opponent unless troops are deployed via vendetta or stormtrooper deepstrike. Seeing as the Steel Legion is specialized in mechanized warfare & known for their superior chimera tactics I believe its logical to assume they will have rules which support the chimera is some way or another.

Perhaps more durable chimeras, ability to move further, ability to deploy troops who can move & shoot? I have no idea. I'm just curious as to what other IG players speculate.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412604.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412604.page GMT Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412612.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412612.page GMT Re:Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules?

Sites such as Bell of Lost Souls & Warseer have reported similar such rumors over the past few months.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but in my local meta I haven't seen Chimeras or well, any light vehicles in quite some time. Even the IG batreps I have watched as of late it is uncommon. IG armies I normally see consist of vanquisher/executioner/punisher leman russ variants, vendettas always, vulture gunship occasionally, command squad, vets, & on rare occasions griffons. The few times I have seen chimeras fielded, they are usually taken off the table within the first or 2nd turn due to their AV10 side armor or something managed to punch through its front AV12.

Perhaps I am to optimistic in that I hope each regiment will receive unique rules in the same manner which Space Marines have, but I feel the Steel Legion would certainly be a good opportunity for GW to make the IG more mobile/offensive.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412718.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412718.page GMT Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules?

That has more to do with 6th edition's nerfs to vehicles, especially transport vehicles, than mech IG not being viable. Mech IG was a dominant list for most of 5th edition, and the codex hasn't changed anything since then. If you fix normal codex Chimeras to be viable in 6th a Steel Legion supplement would be redundant.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6412796.page GMT Steel Legion Supplement Unique Rules? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6413260.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/572156/6413260.page GMT
