I think I will go ahead and pre-order the Scions boxsmile.png

I haven't been keeping up with "whats new", is this our new Karskins?

EDIT: I failed to notice that this is already being discussed in the roumor thread, so any mod can delete this post.

Having read through the 'What's New Today' blog it looks like the Scions are available as a special detachment for the IG in the same manner as an Inquisitorial detachment from Codex: Inquisition. Or, you can field it as an army in its own right. 

 

Either way, I really like the look of the figures. They're fantastic and I'd love some.

 

The Taurox doesn't interest me as much. If it had longer tracks that weren't so tall it wouldn't be too bad but at the moment it looks awfully top heavy and easy to roll.

 

One thing I do find strange is that they're releasing the Scions before the new IG Codex. I imagine most IG players are waiting to see what changes will be brought down upon their armies by the new Codex before they start adding to it.

I don't collect Guard and I intend on getting them.

I'm going to give CHS's 'Wheeled Chimera' conversion kit a go with the Taurox, even if it isn't perfecr, it'll be better.

All of the new models will find a place within most Guard armies, existing or new, this Codex just makes it possible to do an 'Elite' army. It'd be like if GW released a Death/Ravenwing Codex before C:DA. The bit that bothers me is the Codex is Diirect only.....

So does that mean it's a sand alone from the Imperial Guard Codex?

From the description, Tempestus Scions is a stand alone Codex to allow you to field a complete Stormtrooper regiment, or take the Scions squads as part of an IG army as elites choices. The Taurox seems to be available as the Taurox Prime (Scions only) or the standard Taurox which can be interchanged with the Chimera.

uglyness matters not when your in the back of a 100 tonne apc lol.

 

The rox has grown on me and i think different angles help aswell.

The scions are gorgeous, but gorgeously costly if you want a pure force.

 

On the other hand, they scream 'perfect synergy' with a freeblade knight ;)
