Tyrannicide Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They quite literally steal. Alpha Legion can use any Legion-specific unit in an Elite slot, and that unit gains the Alpha Legion rule. http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130903224326/glee/images/3/36/Mind_Blown.jpg Literally the coolest thing E V E R. Damn, FW has outdone themselves. Business as usual with these dudes. Take note GW proper.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 It'll make for some insanely abusable units if you pick counter attack.

depthcharge12 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 So... Can the Alpha Legion steal their own units?

Knight of the Raven Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 If that means everyone else gets some attention from Forge World, I don't even consider it a price to pay.I was happier about the Warhammer Fantasy monster than about anything else... and I do love me some space marines.

Vhalyar Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I'm infuriated they are slowing down the HH books Says who? Why slowing down? Is prosperous even going to be next? Unless something changed Prospero is still slated for Q4 2014. e: or maybe not, if what this guy says is true. been to the event today and had really great discussion with a few of the book design team around thousand sons and a release! If some of this stuff is already known then fair enough but some may be new! 2 heresy books a year with something in between to break it up and let more models to be released! Now I've seen some rumours that say prospero may be book 4, well I was told it would most likely be book 5! Also had a chat about that book and was confirmed custodians, sisters and wolves will be included! Now I really wanted to find out about the rules and how TS would be represented and they are currently trying to work rules to be fair, I asked about brotherhood of psykers like GK but was told they were trying to make it cooler so powers for each group but they hadn't worked out how many if all would be psychic in a unit! Also talked and they have done a test squad of TS as well the medusa and confirmed sergeants will have white shoulder trims while normal guys gold! Also told mechanicum transport is being worked on! But put prospero book back to maybe this time next year?

Marshal Rohr Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They mentioned Prospero will require more effort than they have time for. At best a Chritmas release would be pushing it. My prediction is they will switch around the order of the next few books. Signus/Sarum first, then Calth, Prospero last. Prospero will require the most effort because of the bunches of models the Wolves and Sons will require, as well as ranges for Custodes andSisters.

Tyrannicide Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Makes sense. As much as I wanted to see the Wolves by year end, at least they're recognizing this and not rushing Prospero. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/288774-a-plea-for-information-from-someone-who-cant-afford-to-go/page/5/#findComment-3637982 Share on other sites More sharing options...
depthcharge12 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I really really hope the dark angels are next... *puts on robe in anticipation* This is great for me as I don't need to wait as long :) I still might get book 3 and do a joint knight force of IF and DAs.

Black Cohort Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I would rather have FW take their time and do things properly then go off half cocked like GW seems to do a lot of right now.

Daemon2027 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 The Alpha Legion sounds awesome. I think my constant switching back to them has been rewarded (and very in character). Happy to see the RG are very fluffy to.

ninjasuperspy Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 In the middle of lifting class I uttered a curse & dropped my weights when I connected Alpharius' Pale Spear (Double bladed, smoky, cuts through anything, ancient tech) with the Soulspear. So what are the chances that the Soul Drinkers are Alpha descendants?

Valdr Fell-fist Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 So, question. Maybe I'm missing something here, but Kyr Vhalen is listed as having a relic blade. I thought those were 40k era only, or are the rules the same and listed somewhere in Extermination?

Prodigal Son of Magnus Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 They can take as long as they need to do Prospero, as long as my Thousand Sons don't suck and are represented well they can take 3 years for all I care.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Warders are Breacher vets with power axes and Templars are siege assault vanguard squads with power weapons.

KBA Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Fists with their special characters, legion rules, and special units have come out clearly cut on top IMO. Line troopers to commanders to special defenders and attackers with no drawback rules. Nutty!!!!!
