Captain Coolpants Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's been conformed that 2 ork units (including ghazgul) will become a lord of war.. It seems they will be doing this to more new codex'. If they did then obviously draigo will become a Lord or war. But what else? What would happen if they made the dreadknight one? It actually makes sense if they did as dreadknights are only called to kill big nasty daemons on rare occasions. But that would nerf us badly as it's our only real affective anti-tank/heavy armour unit we have. Thoughts? Anyone heard anything?

boreas Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I doubt Draigo will become a LoW, even with T5. Orks are known to become disproportionnaly huge. Maybe a Dreadknight fixed to a bigger exoskeleton (yo dawg!)

Captain Coolpants Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Lmao indeed. I was surprised to see ghazgul made into one, but maybe they're going to buff him and other armies special characters to make it more fluff worthy of a lord of war?

He's not really buffed; pretty much the same as before.

Rurik the blessed Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 What are the rules for lord of war? what's the difference from a regular HQ warlord?

jeffersonian000 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 LoW take up their own detachment slot, and can grant special rules to your opponent as well as to your army.

IndigoJack Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Actually, those LoW don't grant special rules unless you're playing with escalation.

Quozzo Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 In HH a LoW may not take up more than 25% of your army's points and only take 1 per 1000 points but not sure if that applies to 40k.

Valerian Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 IndigoJack has it. No different than taking other units; it's just a new detachment slot in the FOC with a limit of 1, just like Fortifications.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I can totally see Draigo going to LoW. Hard to be your HQ, when you're not here to make any of the planning...

Rurik the blessed Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 So that means, we can take 2 Hq choices, plus 1 LoW? well... In that case i see something like this... LoW Draigo Hq Grand Master Valeria Inquisitorial detachment Coteaz Allied with himself Crowe? haha... That gives us 5 Hq choices Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293001-lords-of-war-and-the-grey-knights/#findComment-3733363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Assuming Draigo is shifted to LoW; GK; HQ: Coteaz HQ: Inquisitor LoW: Draigo C:I; HQ: Inquisitor HQ: Inquisitor Ally; HQ: Libby Add as many Allied detachments as you want HQs. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293001-lords-of-war-and-the-grey-knights/#findComment-3733373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffersonian000 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Actually, those LoW don't grant special rules unless you're playing with escalation. Anytime a LoW is used, it is an Escalation game. Escalation is part of the basic game.

Gentlemanloser Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Escalation is still seperate Jeff. You can use a LoW slot without requiring the Escalation expansion.

Escalation is part of the basic game. SJ Not if neither player even owns the Escalation rules, or asks to play with those rules prior to a game. If all you have are the basic The Rules, then you're just playing regular games, with regular LOW choices available for whatever players have a codex with LOW choices. Right now, that's only the Orks, but I'm sure LOW choices will proliferate as new 7e codices are released. As far as Grey Knights are concerned, I can see Draigo being moved to the LOW slot (easily on par with Ghazkull), but can't imagine anything else going there from what we currently have, so they'd need to create a new unit option, IMHO, V Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293001-lords-of-war-and-the-grey-knights/#findComment-3733429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 Bet games workshop will be poo faces about it and make dreadknights a Low option!

But we GK players never get out of home without one or two of them.

Ozshock Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 why wouldnt Draigo become a LOW? someone has heard a rumour that they want to make chapter leaders LoW...which is why Ghazkull is one now, he is supreme leader of the orcs...Draigo is ours and i think would head that way...we will have to see what Dark Eldar and the next couple will do to confirm it or not Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293001-lords-of-war-and-the-grey-knights/#findComment-3734132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quozzo Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 So the Grey Knight will be piloting the Dreadknight who in turn will be piloting the Titan.

Wait...wait Are Knight-Titans considered walkers? Because 'TGS' could be put on one then :) Imagine. It pops out via Outflank and starts gunning down Riptides with its plasma blasts, then charges into melee and tears them apart.

Gentlemanloser Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Aye, that was posted before the update. ;) But you're not limited to only one ally. You can have as many different Faction AD as you want, as long as they aren't the same as your Primary faction.
