SnorriSnorrison Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I like the Grav weapons, but I can't remember using Devastators recently. Last time I did that was probably in 5th edition, before our new codex hit. What's the range on those grav-thingies anyway? Liking the new assault squad legs. Too bad I already have a RAS and I'm not exactly planning of getting another one. The upgrade sprue is nice. Very nice, in fact. The torsos look cool and the shoulderpads will provide some variety in our already well-stocked bits-vaults. It's a wondrous thing that GW would include a chalice, though. They've probably sold enough new Sanguinary Priests and are now trying to get people buy the upgrade and make double the money... Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Grav-cannons are 24", salvo 3/5 iirc, making Grav-Cannon devs squarely a back/mid-field push unit. Use them to respond to threats on you held objectives. Pop them in a rhino, and speed around your backfield. 12" with 3 shots is still pretty good.

BadDice0809 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I would rather see Grav Devastator Squads than that stupid 'centistar' bull. "WOW! ITS CRAZY that EVERY fight I'm in Lord Draigo himself, along with Tigrius/Sevren Loth, show up to win the day!!! 1! 1! 1"... At least Devastators are generally pretty static.

Cornelias Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hmm I can see them used more in pods, although it's great that devs will see more use now I'm not sure it sits well with me the influx of grab weaponry in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Any ideas how many redundant bits are in the two new generic space marine kits if a BA player buys them? I'd love for them to update via FAQ but I don't see that happening. Redundant? I'm so going to build Death Company with two eviscerators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The hilarious part here is that it's almost a better deal to buy a BA upgrade sprue and a Command Squad box than a single Sanguinary Priest model, especially considering the extra 4 models you get for the money! Not to mention the mixture of bits will probably make a better model. I'm a huge fan of doing upgrade sprues in this way; here's hoping they're planning one for each of the loyalist chapters, in addition to the traitor legions! As for the transfer sheets, I can't argue that the detail and variety are nice, but having recently learned how to create and print my own I can't help but feel that this is a ridiculously overpriced item. I mean, it's basically paper and lacquer; they could probably sell these at 10 bucks and still make a great profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Apparently, the White Dwarf which features the transfer sheet is saying that it is a limited run. If you want them, best not delay. http://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Blood-Angels-Transfer-Sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vel'Cona Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hmm, the new Terminator Librarian is a decent overall kit. I like that he has a hand swap option; here's hoping the model comes with a different head, too. If not, that model should readily accept bits from the majority of other ranges and so would be easy to convert as a chapter-specific character. The pose is neutral enough to allow for weapon swaps, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pose is neutral enough to allow for weapon swaps, too! To be honest, I like the BA Librarian better. The pose on the generic one seems a bit odd with the armour plates on the hips. Maybe it's just the picture. The hand could be interesting, though. Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I like that generic TDA librarian more than our own, tbh. I really love that staff, and I'm a firm believer in capes on my space wizards. Of course, if I could afford to kitbash the two together, that would be pretty rad, but I'd need to be ridiculously dedicated to librarians in TDA to go to those lengths (I'd also have two of them by the end of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolemai Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well of course. It's our hobby and out interpretation of the 40k universe but still, it's not a vision I've ever seen before. Similar to my thread on bionics a while back; you just don't see it that often. Thanks to Doom 3, I hate cherubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bukimimaru Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Its pretty weird having a fat naked robot baby carrying munitions around a battlefield, although the Cherub part fits in with the whole angel thing we have going on. ... Considering adding one to my Redeemers just for the hilarious fluff I could come up with. >_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHelion Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Yeah, cherubs creep me the feth out. I've got a couple of the models with cherubs dragging bolters, and I can never quite bring myself to do anything with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
