hornywingythingy Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Given we have rules in the WD for the looted wagon, a unit without a model or an upgrade pack to make an imperial vehicle orkified, apparently in response to community upset at it being rumoured removed, is it too much to hope for CSM drop pods? I mean they can even do them with the current kit, marine pod sprue, spiky bit sprue, bam done? Or am I just being optimistic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jeske Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If we ever get chaos drop pods , they will cost 45pts , have no guiding system , a chance to eat dudes inside and a rule that any model in base to base with the pod gets hit with a str 3 ap-.

incinerator950 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I dare say optimistic, Chaos Marines are likely going to get demon engine unicorns before we get razorbacks and regular, cheaper and effective drop pods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sn4k30r Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 chaos with Drop pods dont know if they would be balanced ... 10x plagues , or with brand(relic) lord. , really dont know, but would be nice to see some transports too, since SM, have razorback-more LRs patterns, Drop pods , and speeder, (drop pod most op) Stormravens , Hm now i am looking GOD so many transports difference! :( why i want to start chaos? LOL :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 It would be plenty balanced, that said, no, I don't think it's ever going to happen. After all, looted ork vehicles have been a thing within the actual game for ages. Chaos drop pods not so much. No, the best we'll get is non-dedicated dreadclaws eating precious fast slots and costing 4 times the price, while offering a bunch of extra special rules that basically amount to no extra utility at all.

Strazhakov Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just give me 50-55 pts dedicated Dreadclaws and I'll be fine. Really dig the Forgeworld model. Too bad it's not worth it yet. I proxied one and while it did kinda ok it's just not worth the pts and especially the FA slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Expect 120 point, non-dedicated claws, because I'm pretty sure that's what's coming. At least they'll have the scatter mitigation built in, but... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron_Within Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Dare we hope? We dare not. Dare we send a emails to GW? Perhaps if we had an appropriate email address. Would it work. Unlikely. Is it worth taking 2 minutes of your time to find out. Maybe. And dammit Jeske stop giving them ideas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperors Immortals Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 The same guy who told me White Scars would be big in 6th has told me we get posessed drop pods in the IA.

Sception Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 He's talking about dreadclaws. But from all accounts, they're getting toned down versions of the kharybdis rules, while actually going up in price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Skull Mask Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Don't see drop pods for us other than dreadclaw. First, loyalists got them and Chaos are supposed to be different/worse. Second, Dreadclaw just got a new model. Third, loyalists got them and Chaos are supposed to be different/worse. Fourth, loyalists got them and Chaos are supposed to be different/worse.... You get the idea, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disciple of Fulgrim Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I totally agree with the many above who've explained why we're never going to get our own CSM pods. That said, the door is now open for us to take Space Marines (and their pods) as Come The Apocalypse allies, which really strikes me as being workable and fluffy enough to be competitive in casual games. For example Grey Hunters counting as CSM, or Sternguard as Chosen, maybe accompanied by (non-crazy) Dreads, can be the Alpha/deep strike part of your force, and then you can back this up with (in my case) Blastmaster Noise Marines and Obliterators for fire support - the no deploying within 12" caveat won't apply, though the 6" "One Eye Open" rule might be a problem if you still want to run a Brandlord on a bike or whatever. (But you can at least use fluff to nicely explain that annoyance as being the result of two rival warbands who simply don't trust each other temporarily working together.) Ally in some Daemons too, and you should have a force that looks and feels way more chaotic than simply going full counts as with a SM dex, and you now get to play with proper drop pods too.

Prot Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 When you think about it, if GW made a supplement based on the Vets of the Long war rule... just that rule. And as a result they re-introduced a Chaos Marine kit, with a Drop Pod (the drop pod could be recycled with chaos bitz) and the sales would be fantastic. That's all they'd have to do, and as long as the rules were reasonable (and reasonably unit priced)... let's say Chaos equivalent of Grey Hunters including a special VotLW banner) and it would be massive. I know with my Dark Angels the stuff I've been able to pull off with super scoring pods and even vanilla marines in Malestrom is huge. I'd love to see this simple addition to Chaos and I'd be all over it like a fat kid on birthday cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Haven't there been rumours of a veteran's supplement in lieu of Legion books for awhile now? That would be cool, and reconcile what most fans want with what GW want chaos to be; a veteran core of marines scattered amongst warbands (GW) and rules that work better then we currently have (fans). I just pray it wasn't the BL supp they were talking about, a book that many here love but all agree is only 3/4 of what it could be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
