depthcharge12 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Well this looks to be what will be available on Friday: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Downloads/Product/PDF/p/Primus_Redoubt.pdf The skinny on it is - twin linked D turreted building with AV15, 10 HPs, upgradeable turrets, and a 4++ against all shooting attacks upgrading to a 3++ against indirect barrage weapons. If you can kill all the embarked models and embark yours (as they enemy) it neutralizes the turret for the rest of the game. 650 points plus upgrades Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305480-primus-redoubt-rules-pdf-up/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 ... and the penny just dropped as to what this is! So they are releasing that tile piece tomorrow then? How long before Kurama purchases it and paints it brown?

Jolemai Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Also, is that a typo with the Hyperios rules? Heavy 2 is a such an improvement for it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305480-primus-redoubt-rules-pdf-up/#findComment-3995692 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long before Kurama purchases it and paints it brown? Lol I'd assume that it's out tomorrow as I believe the rules came out yesterday. I goofed and said it's twin linked when in actuality it's two Strength D large blast shots at BS3 improving to BS4 against other super heavies. This thing sounds like an Imperial Fists/Iron Warriors wet dream.

depthcharge12 Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 What is its capacity? The weird thing was it didn't say. I believe it said you can have as many units in it as there are access points, but lists that as "As many as there are on model." Which is nebulous at best. This? And yup that's it.

BFeeder Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 It would be cool if they made alternative weapons for where the turbo laser sits. I'd love to see a plasma blastgun or Volkite turret.

Quixus Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Cool for apocalypse sized games and not much else. Nice option to have though!Well you could set 650 pts aside in a 1850-2000 pts game and still have enough for the mandatory units in a battle-forged army. But would it be sporting? Would it be any good? Anyways the experimental rules classify the redoubt as a Fortification choice, so barring any other rules it should be available in normal 40K games.

ROBOcaster Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Cool for apocalypse sized games and not much else. Nice option to have though! What do you mean not much else, there are some form Strong hold assault missions that this would be a nice piece for yeah? I could see having fun with it in more games than Apoc. EDIT: it just occurred to me that you may mean Apoc size games like point wise in which case yeah 650 is a bit much for a 2000 point game.

Nusquam Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 I want that tile just to have for a table. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305480-primus-redoubt-rules-pdf-up/#findComment-3996354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
StruManChu Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 It's up! http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/PRIMUS_REDOUBT.html Price seems broadly in line with the other RoB tiles considering you get a giant cannon to go with it. Looks like there may be some cool new Ultramarine bits shown in there too, but I'm on my phone and can't quite make them out.

jeremy1391 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 How would you deploy it unless your whole table is realm of battle tiles??? And I wonder if they will make a "gun deck" version that looks like it's part of a ship..

Memento Of Prospero Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I can't fathom why that has AV 15. it doesn't look like much Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305480-primus-redoubt-rules-pdf-up/#findComment-3997760 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I can't fathom why that has AV 15. it doesn't look like much Maybe because they dont want it to go nuclear too easily (ie not using D weapons) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/305480-primus-redoubt-rules-pdf-up/#findComment-3997770 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ion Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 According to the fluff the majority of the bunker is underground too, maybe that plays a factor?

ThatOneMarshal Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I do have to admit I like the color scheme they have for ultras a lot. The gigantic cannon is pretty cool though at apocalypse level games is when it shines.
