crucial Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Disappointingly expensive. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/LEGION_KHARYBDIS_ASSAULT_CLAW.html Gives some kinda hope for a smaller, chaos-y version. If a csm drop pod was released it would really open our codex up a bit more for us. Heres hoping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Have to agree, the price is a tad high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castellan Michael Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Expensive, but looks cool. Not even any experimental rules? I would like to know what the specs are before paying for a model that pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 And they have a sizecomparison with the regular droppod, just to make sure you know cheap conversions will be that much more difficult...

Chaeron Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 And they have a sizecomparison with the regular droppod, just to make sure you know cheap conversions will be that much more difficult... Very true - I'm glad others have also considered this possibility :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I think it's a great looking model, but 145P??!! That's like a thousand dollars!! I would love to see Chaos get a drop pod of sorts. But I'm sure that horse was beat to death, beat a few more times, resurrected covered with vile, foul smelling pustules, and THEN beat again... Did I mention the model looks great?? End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 I care little for the dollar price. If it's out ofmy price range, so be it, i'll convert or scratch build or otherwise substitute. My question is purely on the rules, and since those aren't posted yet, there's no reason to even contemplate it. For all we know, csms won't even be allowed to field it.

recon0321 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I thought FW had made a pod like this before....wasn't it the dread claw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer le Boucher Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Yup also can't find it. The only pods i see in massacre book is the Dreadngouth assault pod and the Deathstorm pod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 No rules for it yet. Hopefully FW will release some experimental rules soon. I'm guessing capacity of 20? That'll be cool! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat33.1 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 £145 is $240 agreed not cheap but the Dreadclaw wasn't cheap either and this isn't a replacement for the Dreadclaw it's for 30k. I'm not even sure this will get a 40k stamp from FW, at Games Day it was shown clamped to the side of a ship in a boarding action, maybe Apoc/30k only? If I recall the GD diorama I'd say at least 20 model capacity it is a large impressive looking model I just doing see it making it to 40k. We all know GW don't want to give CSM a reliable delivery system ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacefrisian Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Oh look a droppod that can form some claw for a big Titan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Don't get too hopeful. Conceptually, it's just a big dreadclaw, and the current dreadclaw rules are terrible: - not a dedicated transport - expensive - no scatter mitigation If this turns out to be what it looks like - just a bigger dreadclaw that stil eats a fast attack slot and pays even more points for the privilege of delivering even larger squads straight into the mishap table's hungry maw, then it just won't be worth bothering with. The description about clearing landing zones with melta cutters is promising, maybe it will have mishap mitigation after all. But the dreadclaw has those same cutters in the fluff, and got no rules for them, so... we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I don't think you want to use scatter mitigations with that thing . you want to pick those 3 tasty serpents behind a buildings or a group of void shield bunkers and drop your huge Ultrazord drop pod on them firing the melta thingies .

Sception Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Only if the melta thingies actually do anything. Again, the dreadclaw had the same thingies and they didn't do anything. And for the record, if it kills or pushes away enemy models it scatters onto, then that awould qualify as mishap mitigation to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Architect Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 They gave us the same Vindicator plastic kit.. Why is a drop pod so unreasonable? C'mon jeedub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoros Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Only if the melta thingies actually do anything. Again, the dreadclaw had the same thingies and they didn't do anything. Well, they've mentioned the melta-cutters repeatedly while discussing the Assault Claw. I'm going to be more optimistic than I probably should on this one.

Kol Saresk Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Not to mention the thing is supposed to fly around, do strafing runs and RAM TANKS. By the way, did I mention that's it is supposed to RAM TANKS? Who needs melta-cutters when you can RAM TANKS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucial Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 +1 for the drop pod with chaos spikey sprue in a box and sold at your local GW under the clever title 'chaos drop pod' We would all buy it.

darknightdrako Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I have a feeling sooner or later GW will say "Who cares you can now use HH rules in regular games of 40k". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
