thanks@Battlebunnies

Ahhh, finally something interesting. This looks gorgeous.

[Ishagu]

This model is exceptional, I agree

[Fire Golem]

I apologise if it was posted, but I only saw the unpainted UM upgrades and just found a painted one on Tumblr: http://i.imgur.com/8d6j9av.jpg

they look awesome.

[Emperor's Furor]

I like the shade they are using for the Ultramarines, rather than the deeper blue the 40k chapter has. Which paint is it do you think? Altdorf Blue, Caledor Blue?

[Ishagu]

Looks like Altdorf.

Caledor Sky is a very different colour...

 

They look fantastic btw. I have sooo many Marines already though :-/

[Fire Golem]

I don't have a clue, but I adore it. It looks awesome.

Yeah sorry think I meant Calgar Blue rather than Caledor lol.

Dynat is a favourite of mine too, the detail on his shoulderpad is outstanding.

I believe it's from Forgeworld's upcoming airbrush paints range. If I recall, they will have the appropriate colours for all of the 18 Legions available.

That would be a wonderful thing

Looks awesome, I cant wait for the release! (BTW, any idea when? I hope somethings next month because I will have 2 weeks off from work :P )

 

Personaly though I prefer the darker colour scheme, Macragge blue is a good base.

Kiss my harris pride of legion armies mwahaha. The pavaise looks alright, not sure if it's worth losing the 3 missile shots.

Missile laucnher's not much use in zone mortalis, which is what the pavise is really broken in

[Castiel]

And here I thought making my Firedrakes invisible was nasty....

[Relict]

Those UM upgrade kits are looking salivating awesome. :D

 

Colors-wise, I prefer the deep blue (as seen in fire golem's avatar) and burnished bronze look over the baby blue and shiny gold look. 

[Emperor's Furor]

The light blue reminds me of several of the images from Collected Visions. I like both, but leaning towards the lighter shade cause it makes them look different to the 40k version more.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

I agree. Lighter Ultras, darker Wolves ftw.

the more I think about it/read the rules I've come to see this usefulness :) do the magnets have been applied yea verily so I can chop and change load outs. Where do the zone mortalis rules live? I've never played it and am getting more interested

What makes the missiles near useless in ZM?

Yeah, They gain Shred and if it already does have shred it gains +1S instead; same with any other template weapon in ZM.

[Emperors Teeth]

I made an album of all the shots I got from the Weekender. Most of them will be covered already somewhere, but there's some nice clear ones of the Xyphon Interceptor and a lot of the various games that took place.

I'm confused. You're talking about the Aiolos launcher on the Daredo right? That weapon doesn't have a blast, just 3 S6 AP3 shots that ignore 'obstacles'.

Yep, I missed the fact thats what they were talking about - for some reason I immediately assumed it was just a normal missile launcher.

The Aiolos, I think, would make for funky rules conundrum in ZM. Since the targets do not need to be in LoS to get shot at, does that mean the missiles can literally be shot around corners and the like? ie: Missile fires, takes a 90 degree turn left, goes down a corridor a bit further, a 90 degree turn right and hits the target so long as its in the 60" range of the launcher.

Edit: incidentally, DG / Sally Flamer spam in ZM would be insane.

DG: Take chem munitions. All flamers gain shred. Ruling for ZM = if template already has shred give it +1S instead.

Sallies: Flamers already get +1S. They gain shred instead but without the Gets Hot! of the DG chem flamers.

A 5 man heavy support squad with heavy flamers is something to strongly consider at that point. Sure, they're limited by flamer range but, 5 HF Templates with Shred (if not part of the two aforementioned Legions) is nothing to scoff at in ZM.

Missiles are also decent because if they scatter onto a wall, they still explode and hit things under the template; the center of the blast being centered on the wall. If they got blast.

So put them up against Iron Hand immortals and its a normal game :p

 

Imagine Iron Hand vs Imperial Fist zone Mortalis. Phalax Warder vs Immortals. Could last forever.
