Cyber-augmentics & Survivors of the Dark Age? Did someone say Chainveil? devil.gif

also from Garro^^

  • the legio suturvora are listed as WB allied titan legion and have no linked Knight houses, their scheme is gold trim, black panels with orange flames on all panels (like a reverse tiger eyes but dark orange instead of yellow)

Sounds like the Firemaster Legion

I was just having a look at Sigi, and I think he'd look a lot cooler painted as if he had shaven hair, rather than being bald - I think it'd be much more evocative of a monastic warrior personally

Does anyone know when their realaisimg the airbrush paints? I would imagine we don't have to wait long for them. Also I hope that they have a couple of painting guides when their released.

 

The ultramarine rules are pretty good but aren't crazy which is something that I like. I like the dynamic they have set up, it makes them feel like an actual army that must work together to achieve victory. Guillaman provides some nice buffs and it looks like he can handle himself well in close combat. As the others have said I really hope all of their units aren't other legions special units +1.

Hey guys

 

So it seems like most bases have been covered here however if there is a picture you are after or question you would like answering I am off to WW tomorrow.

 

I'll check back here before I leave however feel free to pm me also

 

Edit: quote this post so it's easy to find amongst the thread!

Would you buy me a Copy of Tempest? I'll pay for the book and shipping to the East coast of Canada! I NEED MY RESIN-CRACK ENABLERS!

"Next Primarch:

I personally believe that Simon Egan is working on Alpharius and that Edgar is working on Perturabo. Simon says work is going well but gave nothing away. Simon said that the intention is to be up-to-date before the next book is released. 4 more Primarch's this year then!

"

 

If this is true, than I'm exited to see Dorn!

Waaaaait a sec. This guy is actually a Knight pilot isn't he? That looks exactly like the empty throne insert in the current Cerastus Knights.

Are we going to get different Knight pilots now? And will each Warlord head come with a different Princeps?? Maybe we'll even see female Princeps/pilots? :O

Does anyone have more info on the UM Terminators/Breachers please?

Thanks

 

Ultramarine units

ultramarines gain 4 new units 

invictus suzerain squads: tooled up combat gents, with boarding shields and power weapons, gives +1LD to nearby friendlies for pinning morale test

fulmentarus terminators: seige tyrants with better targeting bonuses for number of models in units (can take up to 10 autocannons or cyclones)

locutarus storm squad: vanguard vets with less wargear options

damocles command rhino

I really like the way the Knight pilots armour looks like the chest/shoulders of the Knight itself.

 

If anyone whose there today could pick me up a copy of Tempest I'd be eternally grateful, forever in your debt. Obviously I'll pay for it and shipping :D
