ElectricPaladin Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Oddly, the new codex might see me buying less than I was originally planning. You see, I had this plan to make a death company on foot who could ride around in a dedicated land raider... but rumor has it that land raiders are now only dedicated transport options for terminator squads. If it's a "they're heavy support and only terminators can take them dedicated," like C:SM, then I could still see it. If they are still only dedicated transports and only for death company, then I have no need for death company on foot... I'm not about to put them in a rhino and they're still too expensive (and lack a ++ save) to go in a stormraven. Also, with death company and death company jump packs falling in price, I feel less of a need to have death company on foot in my collection.

SonOfThunder Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think the "only dedicated transport for termis" meant that the only unit that can take them as dedicated transports is terminators, not that the only way to get land raiders in the whole dex is as dedicated transports for termis. I think they'll be HS choices as in other marine dexes. They are cooler with JPs anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reldn Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Since I ended up selling most of my stuff of a while back, there's a lot for me to add: *sighs* A box or two of the new Tac Marines. (Though, I'm running a successor chapter, it might be hard to use some of the stuff) Regular Tac Marines Devs Sternguard Vanguard Death Company Chaplain Assault Marines Dreadnoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walpurgisnacht Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Great. Just great. After I get my Razorback assault squads (x3) finally painted to tabletop standards, I have to switch Chainsword to Bolters. For Sanguinius sake, GW!;(,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnorriSnorrison Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Initially, I planned to add a unit of 5-10 VAS, but with the rumoured changes they seem to have become just another elite assault unit - of which we've got a lot already. No point in buying and painting them up to put them on the shelf. Smart move, GW. So far, it's going to be just the tactical squad. I'll finish Karlaen(he's not too bad with a unit of shooty terminators!) and then...who knows? I've got my SG, DC and Furioso all painted, an assault squad that's on my current standard, so no sweat here. Since I don't really want to play Rhinos after this long span of time(stopped when 6th hit), I can't really see myself using those again. Maybe a pod for the Tacs, but that's about it. Gotta wait 'til the codex drops! Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 The new Priest model, for certain. I never could kit-bash a Corbulo I liked enough to keep. For what it's worth (approximately nothing); The DC and DC Dread in the Deathstorm campaign book both bear the Troops symbol. I hope that the RAS and DC remain troops. I don't think I can field a playable BA FOC or CAD without them (grand total of 10 Tactical marines and 7 Scouts). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'm adding 2 tac squads, since I pretty much don't own any tacs right now (1 old squad is all I have left) and the new priest (I don't need him but man that is an awesome model). If I added anything else it would be drop pods but no, don't want them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well it looks like I may be getting a couple of drop pods and 25 more Sanguinary Guard. I want to be able to field a true angelic host force in assualt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 25 more SG! NICE I so want to add more Sanguinary Guard and do an unbound SG force, but don't think I will spend the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother apocalyptic Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Ill be adding a furioso librarian and always run it.. the potential 14 attacks on I10 is just awesome... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicodemus Doloroso Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Based on current rumours, I will be getting (or kit bashing) the following in the short term: Astorath Tacticals x2 Death storm Something for tacticals to ride -- rhinos or pods In the context of already having Dante, 10 SG, 5 DC, 20 assault marines, 2 libbies (one jump, one foot). Long term I will get those beautiful assault termites and a land raider for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Danse Macabre Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 25 more SG! NICE I so want to add more Sanguinary Guard and do an unbound SG force, but don't think I will spend the money. Not unbound dude, legal force. One of the few things left to us. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 As I'm starting from scratch, I have so far: Deathstorm models Metal (never painted! ) Seth The BA Captain/Tycho (pre DC version) What I'd like: Assault/DC models New Priest Termis Storm Raven (first one! ) Razorbacks (love that model ) Baal Predator (never had a Pred before) New Tacticals Devs (I know BA are a CC army traditionally, but I do love bringing another type of "rain" too ) Kitbashes of: Dante Astorath Mephiston Not sure about the Sanguinor - Might kitbash one and if I choose not to use him, have him as an objectivev marker. Still musing on other things, but can't decide until I have the 'Dex in hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Invictus Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Well, looks like we will all be busy for a while . Now I want some new foot sang priests, but I can just rip off the backpacks of the JP ones, and more jump DC. trying to decide whether to rip off the pack of my foot DC or buy new ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaweda Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have fallen to the red thirst I'm afraid. Without hearing anything about Astorath in the new codex other than he allows DC to reroll wounds, I had my LGS order me one. I just....love rerolling wounds :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

girot Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I really like the new HQs but I've got more of those than I could ever hope to field. BA Tactical Squad x1 BA Assault Terminators x1 SM Devastator Squad x1 Land Raider Redeemer x1 Drop Pod x1 Deathstorm DP x2 (one missile, one assault cannon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman101 Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I'll need another tact squad, maybe 2. And definately a few guys to load out my squads with our new weapon choices (H Flamer, Grav guns, etc) Probably another squad of Sang Guard to be able and switch weapon load outs.

Charlo Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have about 15 Marines built up to just body and legs using the black templar sprue (which I heartily reccomend for adding character to a unit! I have a lot of pieces somewhere but they are losy in the warp with my bikes and tanks.... but I digress) so I will be combining those with the new tac box and then the inevitable desth company and sang gusrd boxes I buy on Saturday to make a core of my army. Most likely some kit bash count as characters, Sang Guard, add to my death company and a few tactical and assault marines to taste. Then I will be saving for some armour, there is a caestus and some dreads with my name on them... Edit: Also finding a use for the ten DC jump packs I got on the cheap a while back hoping to grt more jump units... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Ill be finishing the 4th company to use the company formation. That means: 15 devastators 4 tactical squads Honour guard Captain, loadout option dependent. I've ordered a new tactical box, ill probably order another for parts.

The Yncarne Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Not much. I have a few squads to paint to complete a battle company. Will probably get some drop pods and a BA tactical squad. I'll pick up the codex and the latter Shield of Baal product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have a metric :cuss: ton of unpainted Tacticals, 10 Sternguard, 10 Vanguard Vets and ~20 Scouts + Space Hulk Terminators. All I'd need now to make a decent BA force is: 10-15 Death Company, 10 Sanguinary Guard, Mephiston, Dante and 1-2 Sanguinary Priests or bits to convert one that looks less static..

chaplainmikey Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I have the Deathstorm box all set for Xmas but I'll also be adding 2 boxes of those new Terminators, the new Librarian, a Storm Raven and a Land Raider. Coupled with what I have all of that should keep me busy for a long time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ravel Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I want Dante, he's fantastic according to rumor. I'll also buy a Libbynought with pod. I'm gonna try a list with nothing on board turn one. Like 3 pod with noughts, 2 with troops/DC/whatever + some deepstriking Sanguinary Guard with Dante (a must for the reroll reserve and descent of angels). Not gonna be the strongest thing, but definitivly cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
