Sviar Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think I will go ahead and pre-order the Scions box The link: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCatsLarge.jsp?catId=cat440160a&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malediction Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/wnt/blog.jsp?pid=13800114-gws 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.

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. 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. 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. 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..... Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Well, if I was ever to collect guard these guys would definetly serve as stormtroopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikhunt Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 So does that mean it's a sand alone from the Imperial Guard Codex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think this is separate from the codex. I like the models (except the vehicle), and with a bit of work they will find a place in my heresy era Legions and traitor guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnvilofFenris Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raulmichile Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 The Taurox is simply the ugliest thing I've seen coming out of GW design studio in ages. It is simply horrible. Time passes and I simply don't like it at all. I'm not talking about efectiveness, only looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilholic Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 wheels on the Taurox then its kinda nice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
march10k Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I wouldn't say the taurox is the ugliest ever, but it's certainly not pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SethsChosen Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Because it is already being discussed in the Rumors thread, please direct your rumor discussion back over there. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/veritas117/mod/gallery_26_548_17134.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
