m_r_parker Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Brand new today, fresh from the early release at the Weekender, is the Word Bearers Mhara Gal tainted Contemptor. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/MHARA_GAL.html Rules for this can be found here I've taken a few pics of this piece out of the box (comes in a black "Character Series" box) to see how it pieces together. Will try and find the pics, but those looking for poseability are going to be disappointed: each leg and each arm are single pieces Enjoy!

StruManChu Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 You'd have thought they'd have started bringing stuff out to sync up with the March of the Legions threads... If they'd brought it out at the start of the month I'd probably have bought one...

Lord Tharand Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I love the details on this guy but the pose is a bit of a let down. That being said I'll probably still get one!

I know it's not as posable as a normal Contemptor but I'm sure it's slightly more posable than that one weird pose.

1ncarnadine Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 So what's the verdict on the Mhara Gal's rules? It sure has a gigantic list of them, but it seems like a lot of points for a close combat machine with 3 hull points...

Well it has a ward save, certain weapons are -1 strength, a lot of things are at -1 in CC, pretty brutal against psykers, and decent weapons. I think it's pretty good.

Slips Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 BS 3 with a Plasma Cannon, pretty Meh on. S7 is kinda irrelevant due to the S10 Power Claw. Forcing Morale on any kill and forcing Re-rolls of successful invulns. is cool. Walking through 1" wide/deep obstacles is very situationnal, very useful in ZM though! No need to waste your turn blasting that door. Fear Tests at -2 is cool. That its never scoring but can deny is cool too - could've been better though. It just being there and destroying Psykers/Daemons passively will be INSANE against Grey Knights, Thousand Sons, Daemons and any other psyker-heavy army. Granted its a 6" Bubble so very situational. The -1 to hit to anything Assaulting it that isnt a Castellax or Contemptor is pretty great, actually. Same with the -1S to any Flamer, Melta, Volkite, Plasma, Fusion, etc. weapons will undoubtedly help it stay alive longer but if you shove melta down its throat its still going down due to the lack of Armored Ceramite. Its going Nuclear in a 7" Blast could be very damaging at the beginning of the game if it gets sniped out early on near your own units. But its like any Vehicles Explodes Result. Overall, pretty Decent. Would I pay a Land Raiders price for it? Maybe not... Especially since you can't swap the Power Claws bolter out for anything else.

depthcharge12 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Just drop pod it into the middle of enemy lines and let it rip. Seems to be made for killing Deathstar units plus it's S8 AP2 plasma can insta gib most marine units.

KBA Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Looks neat, interesting rules, but I can't understand how this is in the Character Series.
