Freman Bloodglaive Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 That's a special character, I think it's Crowe. My favourite model is an old one. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1720195a_99060107057_BrotherCaptain01_445x319.jpg The old Jes Goodwin sculpts are beautiful. This guy is hideous. http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m1720131a_99060107064_KaldorDraigo01_445x319.jpg but I can see a lot of people taking it.

Sothalor Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Draigo looks much better with his helmet on. That face of his is just... ugly. In fact, Space Marines *all* look better with helmets on. There's something so silly about genetically engineered super soldiers that don't bother wearing helmets in battle. Worst of all are the Dreadknights with pilots sans helms. I just cringe every time I see it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2687060 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freman Bloodglaive Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I cringe whenever I see a dreadknight too. Probably for different reasons though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2687081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedemptionNL Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 That would be Crowe, yes: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NoXuOPWnXjc/TXkjkrGdHuI/AAAAAAAAAz8/I3HOk5_HTLQ/s1600/GKCrowe.jpg He'll be released together with the Jokaero model, probably a few weeks later than the initial wave.

Sothalor Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 As a character, Crowe occupies a.... shall we call be generous and call it a "niche" role? Pretty much the only reason you'd ever take him is because he makes Purifiers troops instead of elites. Other than that, he's a SC who's not an Independent Character so he can't join squads, he doesn't have a force weapon, and he gives Furious Charge and Preferred Enemy to your opponent when they assault him.

Honestly, the one thing I HATE about the new dex! So much wasted potential! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2688036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hopefully it'll be FAQ'd. Hopefully. B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2688094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamaNagol Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 FAQd to what? It is clear as. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2688131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmande Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Clear as in the fluff, which it's not, or that he's given rules to compensate for running around by himself, which he's missing? Unless they interview Ward in White Dwarf and he gives his reasoning for it, I can't see why he would stay a unit by himself.

Hackbar Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Clear as in the fluff, which it's not, or that he's given rules to compensate for running around by himself, which he's missing? Unless they interview Ward in White Dwarf and he gives his reasoning for it, I can't see why he would stay a unit by himself. My money says Ward is going to tell us that Crowe won't join a squad because he wants to keep the corrupting influence of the demon weapon away from his brothers. Yeah, that's right, even the other purifiers can't even handle being around that thing. Hopefully we get to ask a follow-up question on how the hell Crowe gets from world to world if this weapon is so corrupting that he can't be anywhere near anyone. I haven't played him, so I can't say if he's really as bad as all that, but on paper he looks like an easy kill point to the enemy in exchange for purifiers as troops. Not sure if that's even a fair trade. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/224626-new-models/#findComment-2688177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
