ThatOneMarshal Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Things are looking good for word bearers players. They have this new dreadnought, a new book with rules on a couple of months, and the new blood thirster for some nice daemon allies.

depthcharge12 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It has no drop pod option though :( I think you can take an Anvillus pattern one or a dreadnought drop pod, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Beginning to see you a lot more on the heresy forum Marshal ;) ...so when are we going to see your first Templar brethren squad painted?

You will see either a templar or a night raptor soon sir. I'm still figuring out which legion I'm doing though imperial fists are the army I'm leaning towards. For now... I must play some morrowind. So here's a question about the dread how would this damned thing. Its nasty in combat...the only problem is getting it their. It has three hull points, is damgerous to your own guys, and is expesnive and can only have three. I'm thinking to try to keep it cheap maybe have the plasma cannon for funsies. The only way I can think of keeping its heads low is buy running multiplie high damage choices so your opponent will have multiplie units to try and kill instead of just one. Luckily word bearers can do this easily with gal vorbrak and daemons to help them.

depthcharge12 Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Errr wait, doesn't the daemon special rule allow you to deep strike or am I crazy? He might not even need a pod.

ThatOneMarshal Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Daemon only gives 5+ invulnerable and fear. Maybe fearless? Even with a pod he will be dropped in melt range though if he explode.... Also not a lot of legions carry melta I hear.

1ncarnadine Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 It has no drop pod option though I think you can take an Anvillus pattern one or a dreadnought drop pod, but correct me if I'm wrong. You're right, you could take an Anvillus as a separate FA choice and throw the Mhara Gal in I think. With Orbital RoW though, it only allows pods as dedicated for Legion Dreadnoughts/Contemptors. If your opponent was nice and counted the Mhara Gal as a regular Contemptor I guess it could work? It is bigger though, and literally warp-burns everything around it, so maybe it kind of makes sense that it can't easily pod. Like, if the walls of the pod started bleeding and then the whole pod just melted into a puddle of shrieking faces, that would be not so great. There's a cool new World Eaters Deredeo they painted up with the "Don't forget your resin hit, you junkie" email now too.... Also fun fact on Daemon, he has Fear listed outside that too.. so... double fear with Daemon. Thanks FW (yes I know you won't get double fear, it's an obvious oversight) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/304017-forgeworld-releases-27022015-mhara-gal-tainted-contempto/page/2/#findComment-3964299 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relict Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Must. Resist. Urge. To. Paint. World. Eaters. Deredeo. I'm curious - does the Mhara Gal have any "screen time" in the BL books? Strange that FW chose to market it as a Character Series model.

Strange that FW chose to market it as a Character Series model. Not exactly. In the short story The Underground War by A D-B in the Mark of Calth short ends with Lorgar telling Argel Tal to take one of the severely injured men from Istvaan V, put them into a Dreadnought and then summon a daemon into it. So the description of it being an interred Gal Vorbak isn't exactoy too far off the mark, but it is one of the second generation Gal Vorbak rather than one of the original 40.

Fire Golem Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I think it's a character series model just because the level of detail and such is in line with the character series stuff. I would've said so they can charge more but it's only £2 more than a normal Contemptor and its quite a bit bigger and you get the fancy box and stuff.

Relict Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Interesting. Nice to see that FW took that neat little "throwaway" idea and made something this cool out of it. I wonder if the XVII Legion will be getting some new dedicated bits with Tempest, since by the time they hit Calth they were already fully corrupted.

Uprising Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 I am thinking dual plasma cannons are the way to go(they are S8, and cause 2 moral test). If it get pod, then dual DCCW would also work. That model is gorgeous.

Hesh Kadesh Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 That's a lot of points for 2 PC shots though; 250pts for 2 Small blasts? It combat stats without the claw aren't much to speak of despite being at -1 to hit and WS6 S7 I5. I'm just hoping Calth brings a *you may take entire armies of Gal Vorbak* list.
