Firepower Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Salamanders have gotta be piiiiiiiissed. Flamers are cool, but for me, it's always been about the stabby stab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen IX Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 What do people think of the dual terminator rumor? Terminator honor guard sounds interesting and death company terminators...

Midnightmare Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Fluff change I guess, I would be kinda sad really BUT they would look cool. So I won't discount them yet. Â @ Firepower, what is wrong with kill/maim/BURN :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafen IX Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Good, bad as they are on the tabletop. My San guard are some of the best painted models I've ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I wonder if we may have the option from artificer armoured sergeants... based on the new squad, sergeant armour is the same as tycho/sanguinary guard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The new terms would make sense in that they need a new box to beef sales.   But, its a huge departure from fluff.  (Not so fussed though).  If theyre good, they'll be in my army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElectricPaladin Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 What do people think of the dual terminator rumor? Terminator honor guard sounds interesting and death company terminators... (Yes I agree it breaks fluff but I will still use them) Â I don't think it's that big a break from fluff. Shove 'em in the armor, point 'em at the enemy, scrape up the armor and fix it when they're done. Why not? It's like any other wargear, just bigger and tougher. TDA is probably easier to repair than power armor, because it's bigger and tougher and less likely to be catastrophically damaged by whatever kills the dude inside!

Blindhamster Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Fluff was that a vet went in in his power armour as TDA is an irreplaceable relic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebymster Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Looks like 2 rhinos and a whirlwind to me, odd shape is the stand of the Raven? Â Bigger bases not going to help with zone mortalis. Â Nor getting more into cc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septicon Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Not sure if anyone else has noticed but on page 5 of WD44 if you look carefully at the wargear picture from Deathstorm, it lists blood talons as Sx2 AP2 with shred & specialist weapon. Might be the end of the blender dread that we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I'm sceptical about the DC terminators, but perhaps that's because I don't want them to happen. To the small ongoing fluff debate, may I add that TDA isn't just heavier and bulkier, it's a relic. Every suit has a splinter of the Emperor's armour in it, making a revered object that will not be given the very high chance getting lost/destroyed/vaporised by handing it to a maniac who's mental condition doesn't allow him to use the armour the way it should be. Â Then, BA TDA honour guard? We haven't had that since the 4th edition C:SM if I remember correctly. So why should it be back now? Should GW boost the assault marine sales by bringing up a new, generic box for them?Sorry, not buying it. Unless it looks cool and we actually get TDA honour guard. Then it's a yes, yes yes!

LutherMax Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I hope we get a new assault marine kit. This new tac kit is cool from the point of view of having everything in one place but you could easily make it up from the new vanilla tac kit, Sternguard and DC kits. The assault squad is the one that really needs an update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The sergeant on the cover is holding a Stırn Bolter? Heavy Flamer, Storm Bolter, Grav gun, Plasmagun and Combi-Plasma are on the kit, that's pretty decent.  As well as what appears to be an Artificer Armor for the Sergeant, and a Power Sword.  As a final note, that Heavy Bolter dude in the background is NOT Sternguard, regular red helmet, so I conclude kit also includes Heavy Bolter.  No Missile Launcher in the kit though, it looks like. So it's quite a bit different from the vanilla kit;  Has: - Storm Bolter, Gravgun, Plasmagun, Combi-Plasma - Chainsword, Power Sword - Artificer Armor - Heavy Flamer, Heavy Bolter  Appears to lack: - Power Fist? - Melta options? - Missile Launcher?  I'm pretty excited for this kit.. Although I already have 4 Tactical Marine squads at this point (3rd Ed, 4th Ed, AOBR, DV). I'll probably cave in and grab this, though.

Blindhamster Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I have 6 tactical squads and enough parts for a couple more... I still plan to get two of this kit... will replace a few models here and there in the army (ones I feel I did a bad job on) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knife&fork Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Cautiously optimistic about any new terminator unit considering how overpriced everything (except GKT) in TDA is.   TDA death company could be fluff update rather than a retcon. Maybe it's tied into the desperate struggle around the Baal system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sete Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Maybe it will be time to do a Templars of Blood chapter. And use Poros FW stats as Warlord. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
