UltraWorldWolves Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The thing looks like a warjack because privateer press creators originated from games workshop and so technically its completley original... in my personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caffeineated Chaos Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The thing looks like a warjack because privateer press creators originated from games workshop and so technically its completley original... in my personal opinion. Yup, and while I love me my warmahordes, there are some awkward similarities, like the two red armies Skorne and Khador(my personal warmahordes army btw) being close combat armies that tend to eschew normal ranged weaponry for mid-range shotgun style weapons and heavy artillery. Seems awful similar to some of my favorite 40k things. And there are other similarities. But yeah, what do you expect from a group of disgruntled GW employees attempting to do the job in what they consider to be a better or more compelling way in order to become gruntled? addendum: Khorne dedicated w/ base loadout, or swittch one claw for the butcher cannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Ordered mine today :sick: Got mine with the Butcher Cannon and Laser-thingy. Decided my Legion of Taurus need more Anti-tank & low AP firepower. Will get the Siege Claws at a later date if I so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristoff Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The sad thing is that those Siege Claws suck compared to DDCWs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah but at least you don't have to worry about the Siege Claws tearing into your own troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammonius Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 The sad thing is that those Siege Claws suck compared to DDCWs. Because they are Str 8 and not 10? I guess it's not reliable, but the 2D6+Pick the Highest could help with that more often than not, although I agree that something called a "Seige Claw" should be able to penetrate AV14 (bunkers/ bastions) more reliably. If they had named it differently I think I would be OK with it being best for hunting light transports. My thinking is that because it's big, and new, it will draw fire more than anything else, but until I've played a few games with one (or a proxy of one) I don't know how they will shake out.

Azekai Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Yeah but at least you don't have to worry about the Siege Claws tearing into your own troops. Uh, a chaos dread will never CC an ally- they just shoot 'em alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not really. Don't get me wrong, I think they make a great game, but they make really poor business choices, and I kinda feel they deserve whatever comes their way. But then again, I do like to make sure credit is given where credit is due, so I guess I see it. But yeah, not sure I'd use this guy normally, just for the WS/BS 4 and the cheapness I'd rather have a chaos dread, the faq clarifying we use the gun's LoS for fire frenzy makes it viable enough, I'd probably proxy this guy as a chaos dread or run his own rules, but just for fluffy/fun games.

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Interesting that they've released a bit for a heavy conversion beamer for this thing, but it can't take a heavy conversion beamer as a weapon option according to the experimental rules as they currently stand. I think I'll stick to the butcher cannon + storm laser combo idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 They released new experimental rules for the model yesterday and low and behold someone has one and has written a review. http://chestofcolors.com/forge-world-chaos-decimator-review/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khestra the Unbeheld Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 They added the heavy conversion beamer! Has the same non-Relentless issue as the Contemptor when using it though, so unless you're rigging it for long-range fire support there's not a lot of sense in taking it, and Decimator can't rack havoc launchers so you're not going to get as much out of it as with a Contemptor.

Kizzdougs Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 They added the heavy conversion beamer! Has the same non-Relentless issue as the Contemptor when using it though What issues dose it have? I'm not sure about the rules for the conversion beamer on the Contemptor or the Decimator but shouldn't they be ok because they're walkers?

Yeah, it's Heavy even for a Walker, the weapon has the following Special Rule: Firing Calibration: The power requirements and calibrations needed by a Heavy Conversion Beamer mean that the Decimator cannot move and fire this weapon in the same turn, despite being a Walker.
