Imperialis_Dominatus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Let's remember that Chaos don't have to follow Mechanicum strictures. They've had ten thousand years to mess around, I'm sure they don't need (for example) the Ultramarines to weigh in on their new design to make it 'official...' yes , but the idea of mouting any kind of bolters on LR aint . Unless they're heavy. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151531-the-landraider-corrupter/page/2/#findComment-1766851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Gryphonne and Stygies produce their own special kinds of Vanquisher; no other planets can produce them. Gryphonne also produces their own unique version of the Chimera, as well as being the only planet that makes the Conqueror. Saying anything otherwise just lacks the fluff to back such a claim.

the jeske Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Chaos can do what they want, when they want, and how they want with their tanks! nope other wise you end up with a khorn army led by a slanesh lord/dp . [am speaking fluff here we are not in the list section ]. Also, if you're going to completely, and totally ignore Ryza, Stygies, or Gryphonne (which are on the galactic map) indicated as forgeworlds, how can you claim any of your points are valid? not decling this , but there are two things . first of all the only produced on Ryza stuff is FW so non offcial thats one thing and while its ok that FW does a lot of ok models ,they also tend to have a very open mind in using w40k fluff . not even land raiders are exclusive to one forge world [even if the one that was the biggest producer of LR was destroyed durning the heresy] + mars can produce anything , if a FW had paterns that mars didnt have and wouldnt hand them in the ad mech would wage war on them [wouldnt be the first time they did stuff like that]. The Executioner, Executioner (There WAS a GW model for either one of these), yes the execitoner and it was mass produced . the anihilator and the LR variant were done by sm [sw and BT not the most codex chapters] and it took years before the ad mech allowed them to be mass produced . the assault versions of land raiders are also mass produced , the only one that is really rare is the plasma blast gun armed , because its hard to both produced ammo for it and they get easilly dmg.

Zealot Of Chaos Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Chaos can do what they want, when they want, and how they want with their tanks! nope other wise you end up with a khorn army led by a slanesh lord/dp . [am speaking fluff here we are not in the list section ]. I think you missed the point Aarhus was making Jeske, hes saying that after 10,000 years why should the defiler be the only chaos made tank in standard 40k, they have the means of producing armour somewhere in the eye or terror and one assumes that the techpriests of the legions would know standard patterns, therefore could Chaos not modify the designs to adapt to the resources they have from either salvaged imperial tanks (post heresy) or just the original stuffs they took in, examples of these would be the apoc tanks, the chaos baneblade variants, not exactly as it was originally intended to be, this is not mixing the mortal enemies within the eye together but in the previous codex khorne vehicles were different, nurgle vehicles were different, slaanesh vehicles were different and tzeentch vehicles were different, whilst the differences were only minor in comparison compared with the changes being mentioned in this thread the legions use the warp to infuse their own brand of psychotic goodness into their vehicles therefore why not also modify the base designs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151531-the-landraider-corrupter/page/2/#findComment-1768663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
walpurgisnacht Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 How about shifting gears from the focus on the minute aspect of what has what to what if this had that? A Modest Proposal. AV-14 LR chassis 5 termies or 10 marines/other TwinLinked Plasma cannon Sponsons, made from Dreadnought armament scavenged from battlesite. Composite Flamer-fires as dual-templates from front facing, made from extra fuel cartridges from random Hulk. A mighty Warsmith, M.ech I.sen T.ech stands proudly displaying his craft, basking in the light of drifting plasma. Grand SorcerorLord Qwerty McQwerterson twists the warp inside the uploading machine spirit, perverting the most glorious into traitorous intent... Collected crowd ooooohs and ahhhhhs, but I'm waiting for somebody to throw the rotten fruit, stating fact on fictional material. Seriously, just cruise the IW's for this kinda line and it will be lunch money on the schoolyard. I thought the look should be infernal machine, pipes and gears all outside armour nonsensical tech, double relay hoses and readout screens. The forward aperture would open like a maw, belching flames and deamon marines in turn shouting inflammatory remarks. ie: Burn,_____! Strikes me as very chaos-y Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151531-the-landraider-corrupter/page/2/#findComment-1768742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperialis_Dominatus Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 nope other wise you end up with a khorn army led by a slanesh lord/dp . [am speaking fluff here we are not in the list section ]. What does that have to do with this? Chaos can do what they want, when they want, and how they want with their tanks! There's no connection here. It's a non-sequitur, it lacks poise, it does not follow. What, other than a drop added to the deluge of complaints about the current 'dex, are you attempting to accomplish? Fluffwise, there's no reason Chaos should stick to strictures about technology and do their own thing. In fact, fluffwise, they should do their own thing. Please don't tell me that while the loyalists- bound by their own laws- can at least come up with variants on things but Chaos- with absolute freedom, ten thousand years, and the undiluted power of the Warp- can only go 'hurrdurr Defiler!'
