Since I dont play SM i can't be too saddened about it. But having built and painted one I can say that it was a tricky kit to build and paint with movable doors. But I savoured the challenge. I can imagine that painters with less experience will have some challenges with it. Whichbis probably why it got simplyfied. I do like doors that can be opened . This a downgrade in my opion. If you have terrain on the table it will wobble. The old one you can slam in a slope and the doors adjust to the uneven floor. It is just more atmospheric.

Oh wow was able to snag one 3h after it went online at Taschengelddieb. It seems like there is enough stock this time. (at least for the german version) I havent been ordering off GW in a while so that eas a surprise to me as stuff usually goes in 3 mins.

Unfortunately i'll be on a plane for the pre- order. I wish everyone that wants one luck!

Absolutely stunning conversions! May i ask where the head for the heavy gunner is from?

Omg this is a great reveal. Love the imperial side of this. And also the re lelease of the statue if understand that correctly. Such a great piece.

Whelp I guess I play creations of bile then? This really reduces the synergies between my collection and what's needed for EC lists. I DO NOT feel like bying a completely new army. I wanted to use 90% of my collection and then maaaaaybe by a couple of new things. But this means all I can use are my 6 squads of noise marines (maybe 3 now as they might not become battlelline) and terminators. Then in addition i could use CSM to proxy the CC and shooty battle line units maybe?. Possesed could be a good stand in for the flawlwss blades. But so happy i can use my spawns at least. -.-

To be honest i absolutely overlooked the failiar. I ended up giving the legionaries a reaper chain cannon and a plasma gun. Plasma gun ended up bloeung up and the chain cannon did not do much. Lol Anyways... here are some pictures for those who are interested.

Had my game today. It was lots of fun. In the end I won. I had a rough start. The takeaways are: - Legioaries are good value, especially with a lord for the free strats. They wiped a blob of 20 warriors comnined with shooting and melee. - Bile supporting the Cosen is a monster of a unit. I was lucky and made my key charge in turn one harrasing some Canoptec Wraiths, which almost completely regenerated in the next turn lol. - In the end my terminators came down (out of line of sight first) and swept through the tides of necrons in melee deciding the game. Pointswhise it was quite close until end of turn 3 when my buddy conceeded. For bonuses I had +1 to hit in meele and also ranged attacks, which i was initially not so happy about. Turns out terminators and chosen hitting on 2+ cam get some shooting done as well.

Actually tomorrow's opponent is fielding a lot of necron warrior and immortal blobs. I'll tell you how that goes. :D I was thinking about the sorcerer as well (well I have one with my terminators) My reasoning of going for the lord was the ability to use free strats. Especially the one that revives multiple battleline models could go well with the legionaries. And then using that strat twice a roind sounds great for recuperating some losses and also getting closer to my opponent via settimg up revived models closer if that makes sense. I guess charging with the droppod first to soak up some overwatch makes sense. Maybe I can rapid ingress the terminators somewhere safely if I should go second. I am a little scared about failing that 9 inch charge for the occupants of the dread claw evem with a reroll. So maybe staying in the droppod for a round might make sense? But then dalayed pressure on the opponent might cost me dearly as well.

I also have to take my collection into account. I dont have my rhinos painted up yet, which is why i went for the Droppod. But you are absolutely right regarding the cultists. I was considering that as well. I could drop the noise marines dor some cultists and make the chaos lord a "prime subject". I learned that the noise marines can put an surprising amount of hurt if directed to the right target though. (Exited for what the updated rules might have in store for us)

Greetings my heretic brethren! Ill jave my first game with CSM since the new codex dropped and i was trying to build a list for crestions of bile. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + DETACHMENT: Creations of Bile + TOTAL ARMY POINTS: 1490pts + + WARLORD: Char1: Fabius Bile + ENHANCEMENT: Surgical Precision (on Char1: Chaos Lord) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHARACTERS Fabius Bile and Surgeon Acolyte (85 pts) - Warlord Chaos Lord (100 pts) with daemon hammer, plasma pistol & Surgical Precision (+ 10 pnts) Sorcerer in Terminator Armour (80 pts) with combibolter & force weapon BATTLELINE 10x Legionaries (170 pts) with chainswords & bolt pistols, 1x heavy melee weapon and champion with icon, heavy melee weapon & plasma pistol OTHER DATASHEETS 10x Chaos Terminators (360 pts) with accursed weapons and combibolters, 2x with autocannons & fists and 2x with paired accursed weapons. 10x Chosen (250 pts) with 2 powerfists, 4 plasma pistols, 2 dual accursed weapons and combi weapons 5x Havocs (125 pts) with lascannons, champion with plasma gun & fist 5x Noise Marines (85 pts) with sonic blasters, 1x blasmaster and champion with blaster, doom siren and fist 5x Possessed (120 pts) with icon 1x Dreadclaw Drop Pod [Legends] (115 pts) Any thoughts or suggestions? Alternatively i could drop the Drop Pod and the lord for a daemon prince. I'll go fishing for the CC traits with Bile with thise rerolls. Toughness and additional attacks beeing the main priority. Bile joins with the chosen and goes in the droppod. Chaos lord joins the legionaries. Sorcerer goes with the terminators. These either deepstrike or footslogging over the field. Not sure yet. Noise marines and havocs help guarding the rear and annoy some vehicles. If i swap out for a daemon Prince the infantry would benefit from the cover aura. Instead of the droppod.

As long as there is the option of taking squads of six i am happy. :D

Awesome. They slipped my attention after I've been drooling all over lucius and Noise marines now. :D

Hmm so no Terminators to be seen. Is the phoenix guard unemployed now? So I am wondering in general what will be usable from my current CSM collection. Land Raiders and rhinos are visible. Which means probably Vindicators and Predators are available too. Possesd could be used as proxys for the EC possed, and legionaries could be proxies for the EC legionaries. Noise marines remain noise marines at least. The new range looks awesome, and I think they really nailed it! I just don't see me buying a whole new army after owning and collecting CSM EC since a long time. Any more thoughts on this?

Looks a bit like necron tech to me.
