Chris Hadden Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Sooo reading through the codex again I noticed that our juggernauts have the cavalry rule, but not the limitation of moving only 6". Am I reading this wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khestra the Unbeheld Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm going to give it a shot as well. I've had a twin claw Khorne Lord on a Jugger for a while now. I just need to bolter my Spawn collection up from the one I actually have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, But if you still had the spawn bitz (they come with an excessive amount of arms, eyes and such) couldn't you just wad up some modeling putty and stick the various arms and stuff into it, and mount it on a 40mm base and call it done?

Lepaca Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 It is a nice idea for a unit but remember that you can't take the Mark of Nurgle on the spawns, else the lord can't join them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand? Dex not here so can't look it up but I don't remember any mixing marks probs apart from hate rule ie khorne vs. Slaanesh and nurgle vs tzeentch ?

An IC with one mark can't join a unit with a different mark. For reference it's written on the page with the marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 How does that work with Abaddon and joining cult troops? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 he has all marks , so he cant join cult units , because he always has a mark different then the one the cult unit has . the rule doesnt ask you to check if you have a mark [it is perfectly legal to put a markless lord in to a cult unit . even if taking such lord makes little sense].

Wow, what an oversight! :cuss I can't believe that was intended, but it's absolutely the way the rules work. One more reason not to use Abby, I guess.

the jeske Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 you know at that time when abster fought the BAs , he didnt actualy fight with zerkers . he was always at least 2.1" from every unit . :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, but I think there's a better way of looking at it. Don't think of Abaddon as having "all marks" - he doesn't. he has one mark - the Mark of Chaos Ascendant. This is a mark in his own right, so he can only join units with either no mark, or units with the Mark of Chaos Ascendant (of which there are none).

the jeske Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 actualy even if we take the part about "has all 4 marks" as fluff , then later in the inv save description it clearly says that his inv is better because he has the mark of tzeench . game wise makes no difference . poor sad 250+pts abadon.

Yes and it feels retarded allready, now I have the codex and some lists ready but some things are made of pure unlogics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minsc Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The Juggerlord has become my new standard Warlord. Who needs Special Char's when we got proper Daemonic Steeds and ML(3) Sorcerers? In addition to the Juggernaught, I run him with Seal of Corruption, Gift of Mutation and Axe of Blind Fury (I see many Terminators in my LSG.) He's not really afraid of anything except for S10. Use unmarked Spawns or Khorne Bikes/Khorne Raptors as escort and call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs Special Char's when we got proper Daemonic Steeds and ML(3) Sorcerers? huron gives infiltrate . this is a huge or rather HUGE buff to chaos armies , even a single infiltrating chaos unit can help a lot against other armies and on those 1/3 times you get 3 its a game winner . The utility he brings is for some builds or in some match ups more important then a challange lord . I'm not saying ax jugger lord is bad. he is awesome , but he still is a gav dex era warp time DP as game play goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a figure of speech. ;) Also the Jugger can "hide" in units and get LoS, while the 5th Ed. DP only usually got shot to death asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr Shepard Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I'm getting curious about the Lord on juggernaut's performance on the table. It's obvious Huron is one of the most effective choices in the HQ section (if you roll 5-6 you infiltrate 3 units: that's a potential game changing event) but I can find a way to field both of them, especially when I play at 2000pts. By the way do you have any suggestion on actually building the model? I was thinking about the fantasy chaos lord on juggernaut and add some bits to his armour (the CSM back pack, shoulder pads, if possible, etc) but the model is an old metal one. I thought about it because it looks cooler then the "standard" daemons juggers (bloodcrushers and khorne herald, for example). Any idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
