WWGO - HH news (update: Tempest leaks - page 26!)

[Flint13]

There's a planet called Magniat in Ultramar! That's my planet! The one I was going to base all off my Imperial Guard DIY regiments off of! Exclamation point!

 

Seriously, I had Fir Magnat as a planet, that I last changed to Magniat.

 

^^ You sure you don't want to try on Prandium, Conn? I hear good things about that place.

NIGHT LORDS TRANSFERS!!!! Holy shaznik. I would like to say thank you so far for everone who's contributed to giving us picks of this glorius event. I love the white scars, I love the new word bearers models, and as a black templar I don't know how to feel about sigsimund. Here's what I'm thinking new helmet, and a slight reposing and I'm going to need some chains for his hands.

 

As a guy who just got his new airbrush I'm extremely excited about that and hope they come out soon.

 

Warlord looks amazing but waaaaay to expensive for me. I would rather put that money into a new computer or tv.

 

Chaos knight looks really cool and I'm extremly happy for chaos players. Midi ally the pain if not having one of these babies will be lifted. Also is It just me or does that lord of skulls look absolutely marvelous with the legs conversion?

 

Guys I'm so excited right now that I'll need a meme just to express my happiness. The sun is shining, my airbrush is in, and my legs feels a lot better. The only thing that would make me happier right now is if California actually got some damn rain.

 

Happy crusading!!!!

Eh, that planet was a little sleazy and had bad room service.

 

Sooo this is the game you want to play FW?! You'd rather put out the last legion to get models, the White Scars, before Dark Angel shoulder pads?!?!?!

 

Harrumph harrumph harrumph....

Isn't that the one where the Codex was tested, and then devoured by Tyranids ten thousand years later?

 

But yeah, I had no original intention of this world I had created be a part of Ultramar, past or present. I'm super eager to read more about it, I hope they give it some attention.

 

Watch it ended up a dead world. :lol:

 

I'm not worried about it, however it goes I can either use or rename the world back to Magnat. :)

Captain Remus Ventanus of the Ultramarines

I really love Ventanus look on this artwork. His face has that noble warrior look to it, and he sports a rather cool haircut. Like a more shaggy version of the "jarhead".

 

As for my personal take on the new releases:

 

Sigismund - dissapointing. The head isn't the problem, as I am sure the kit comes with a helmet (like many other character models in HH series so far), but the overall pose looks suspect. Plus the model seems to be suffering from the chicken legs syndrome (common to mk. II sculpts. It's like some sculptors aren't able to grasp the concept of overlapping armour plates). Not saying it's a bad mini overall, and I am sure the added helmet and better paintjobs will make him pop more, but as a representation of such an iconic character, the design of the sculpt seems dissapointingly random.

 

Guilliman - Looks good enough, but as usual with Simon Egan, the face is badly sculpted (look at the official close ups from the event promos. It has a very crude and carved look to its facial lines). Though it could be becouse of a poor paintjob.

 

Warlord Titan - Amazing. And I am saying it as someone who has been lamenting the fact that the cannonical height and size of battle titans, has been so drastically reduced, in order to make them viable, playable models that FW can realistically manufacture. But the kit itself is amazing. Also, the updated, refined look, using the sexier lines of the Imperial Knight design is a definite improvement over the classic, boxy look. Shame that I could never justifiy buying it for such a price though.

 

Word Bearers and Ultramarines Legion-Specific troops - Everything looks great

 

White Scars - the bodies are great, but the helmets looked a bit strange on some of the photos. Will wait for the official pics.

Ultramarine LA rules:

Reroll 1s to wound and to pen in shooting phase against units that have already been shot at by other Ultranarine Units (so basically all Ultramarine units function as pseudo-marker lights)

Reroll charge distance against a unit that is locked in with another Ultramarine unit.

Take Regroup and Pinning checks at LD10.

If HQs all die then everyone takes a pinning check.

[helterskelter]

I'm so so so so glad I've been monstering the overtime lately. A blue just for us night Lords, transfers and my god forgeworld knows how to spoil us. I seriously cannot believe the sheer effort the team must have put into putting this thing on and I've not even gone! I see some variety of thankyou letter in order to the team.

[depthcharge12]

What are the rules for the new Thanatar that we haven't seen yet?

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

He looks like a kid wearing daddy's power armor.

[Hyaenidae]

He looks like a badass who conquered 500 worlds and remade them into an image of civilized perfection.

 

I'm going for it. I'm buying my first Primarch, and it's gonna be G-dog.

 

Aw, crap.

[Sevatar]

Wow. Roboute has some good rules. Very durable surprisingly

[Visitor13]

He looks like Aryan Daniel Craig who hasn't slept in three days.

 

I really like the breacher squads though.

[Prodigal Son of Magnus]

Would you care to share with the rest of us?

[ThatOneMarshal]

I'm guessing that's a thudd gun. Personally I like the original one much better.

Also guiiliman looks a lot better without the paint. The suzerans looks interesting though they look remind me too much of the phalanax warders.

[Brother-Chaplain Kage]

Maybe it's the angle on Guilli, but the legs look too short and the torso a bit too wide and tall. I certainly hope Primarchs aren't skipping leg day.

Ultramarines astartes rule

Roboute guilliman, lower end of primarch power, but lots of tough bonuses, good weapons

Aw, crap.

I'm gonna join you. He'll be my first Primarch too.

Hah! Same here! He's the only primarch that I actually 100% like

[helterskelter]

Why of all armies do the ultras get a strike at initative power axe.

[Slips]

Project Iron Snakes is a-go!

 

...after I finish the Salamander Dreadhead Project...

 

...and Painting for ETL...

 

Until I see full profiles for the Suzerians, I'll remain optimistic that FW didn't just 1-up the Phalanx Warders with them in literally every respect: Model and rules wise :P

Dissapointing if true. I got the impression over the years that BL writers tried to break with the idea of Guilliman being nothing more than a skilled strategist/administrator. His depiction in recent HH fiction appeared to accentuate the idea, that Guilliman was the only Primarch to recieve classical millitary training from young age, and someone who was the very model of a proper soldier. Not as dangerous in a fight as some of the heavyweights like Angron, Sanguinus or Russ, but definitelly more skilled in personal combat than many other Primarchs. To me he always appeared as someone who could be put in the same category as Rogal Dorn, as far as fighting skill went. It would be a shame if his rules reflected only the "pencil pusher" side of Guilliman's image.
