Bunch of Raven Guard heads, pauldrons, and torsos:







 

 

 

As well as that the Vindicator with Laser Destroyer has had an official rules update

 

An improvement, but still outclassed by the Sicaran Venator I reckon

Really dig the layered front armor look Forgeworld has going on with the Deimos Vindicator, really sells the AV13.

 

The Dread bits are neat, I suppose, but it feels kinda weird to be pushing a static fire-support Dreadnought when the Contemptor Mortis has already been absolutely dominating that role.

It has?

The RG bits are sooooo bland. There's better Mk. VI bits in plastic. FW has really dropped the ball on the last two Legion's upgrades. 

 

I thought the plasma Deredeo looked dumb at first, but seeing it painted up, I might like it more than the autocannon version. Fingers crossed for a volkite cannonade!

Well Legion guys, theres your answer to the Wraithknight. Two of these bad boys firing three shots each round. Of course our heavy slots are our most heavily contested slots so maybe not....

Meh, if you know your facing any knight type, just take the onslaught force org chart

How do you guys think it pairs up against say something like a Deredeo for killing tanks?

 

Vindi is less points with S9 and AP1 but Deredeo has almost 100% accuracy, an extra shot, and I think Sunder might actually be better than ordinance.

 

I just got out of stats class and I don't feel like running numbers (damn you ANOVA and chi squared!!!), would anyone like to compare he new Vindi rules against just the auocannons of the Deredeo against Av13 and 14?

They do two different jobs, so no. Why bother? If you don't have other AA, then you take Deredeo. If you do have other AA, then the Vindicator becomes an option at the risk of being substandard AA. If you already have a Deredeo, then one is an option.

 

I still feel it should be a 1-3 choice, but they're not exactly well known options in Heresy lists.

Definitely. A nice tank, but with so many other options that offer more performance, the 1 per slot Vindicator is left in ships stores for now...

Your right about the blandness, although you could call that fluffy, the XIXth are not too big on decorations. To me it looks as if they have just used the existing RG kits and removed the purity seals. Still I like them, Mark VI has the advantage of being well supported plastic wise, so the potential for distinctive models is there.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, the downloadable rules didn't include the plasma either until the preorder for the new gun came up (iirc), so once the pavise can actually be purchased the rule should come back...

Didn't notice that one since I went off the Sheet given out at the Weekender which included all the options :p

If I wanted marines dripping in bling, I'd still be building 40k models. I think they're doing a great job with keeping the look very simple and restrained for the majority of the Legions. If the preview artwork is anything to go by, the XIII Legion will change all of that, but then they always were a bit obsessive about their decorations.

I like the vindicator maybe it's just the paint scheme but I really like it. I think the gun looks a bit smaller than the one we saw at the weekender. Also the raven guard pack looks nice as well. A bit bland but hey rather have that than all of the Polynesian symbols.
