bozo69pd Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 After reading some of this Forge World LatD info from warhammer fest does anyone feel like they are simply AM but better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Better is a relative term somewhat, I'm not familiar enough with the LatD list to say much on this. Could someone highlight the main differences between the armies? It can't be as bad as the "you can also have all the Imperial formations" in Apocalypse?

CyderPirate Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 LatD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Lost and the Damned - think Chaos Imperial Guard. In my opinion, it looks like they have many of the Guard toys, but none of the special rules. More of a rabble using Imperial tech a la Blood Pact.

CyderPirate Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Ah gotcha, thanks. Was thinking it was the new 30K guard for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Solar Auxilia is the Heresy IG version. They're described as being much more aggressive than their future counterparts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 The Imperial Army is described in a bit of detail in the front of the codex as the precursor to the Guard we know :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malus Trux Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 A thought just occurred to me. Is Solar Auxilia to Imperial Army what Astra Militarum is to Imperial Guard? Is Solar Auxilia high gothic or a specificunit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I heard that the Solar Auxilia might be a specific part/army of the Imperial Army but I don't know if this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Isn't the Solar Auxilia the detachment of the Imperial Army that's devoted to defending the solar system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 That's what the name suggests, but as far as I know none of the background has been officially released yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 After reading some of this Forge World LatD info from warhammer fest does anyone feel like they are simply AM but better? It's too early to tell. As of right now, the Latd lack an order system, which is a pretty big force multiplier for Astra Militarum. We'll have to wait until they get their full release to get an in depth comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uprising Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Link to what is suppose to be in book http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/297876-ia13-dedicated-transport-dreadclaws-and-more/ I believe you will be getting three varieties off lists: Horde of cheap guys, the extremely tank heavy, or extremely assault/aggressive build. Its a little early but this book has so many choices for chaos players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Im looking forward to LaTD being competitive again, but like said above lack of orders and random LD will mean it plays different to AM. larger blobs of crappier troops, medium and light artillery and limited highS weapons mean rush lists will probably be more viable. AM will be AM and LaTD will just make cultists more varied really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
