Raktra Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I was gonna tie it in to the Only the Strong rule, but I forgot that was tied in to a RoW so yeah, I reckon I might shift it to first round of combat. Offsets our inability to get Hatred easily :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Griff, that sounds about right to me. Khârn probably shouldn't be as charismatic as Garro, and being that bit more killy suits him. If the Knights Errant get a charisma powerhouse, that'll probably be Muniza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Sweet :) right so that's you two happy for now. Now to start writing up a new gaming system idea that came to me as I was trying to get to sleep :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluntblade Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Always in the wee hours, isn't it? I've been lucky that a few days off work actually coincided with a burst of creativity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It certainly seems to be. I'm (un?)lucky in that I'm currently at liberty as they say, so I can afford to sleep in occasionally. I may have a somewhat annoyed partner though if I wake her up when I do go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demus Ragnok Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 As for Thunder Warriors it'd be cool with me if a young Xth legion began their reputation for being relentless by relieving the last TW of their pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Does the chain still factor in as a weapon of sorts? As for the Serpents elite leaders, Zulfiq Fal'uak is meant to be like a Palatine Blade only his men don't announce themselves - in the fluff they mingle with a regular Serpents formation and strike suddenly at enemy champions and commanders. So he's an excellent duelist, but specialises in sudden, debilitating strikes. Kalhu Nachash on the other hand leads their assault elite, but with an emphasis on establishing footholds. So, whatever makes him and his forces good at holding objectives would be suitable Ok. So I'm considering some minor changes to Zulfiq, mainly to make him fit with this description. Going to drop the Duellist's Edge and instead make his Warlord trait something along the lines of Sigismund's Death's Champion rule. Specifically the +1I for him and his unit on the charge to represent them getting the drop on the enemy. That should only cost a few points more than his current profile, so I think he'd probably come in at 175-180 in total. For Kalhu I was considering Tartaros armour, but after reading the section on the Dursk Rassan I'm now thinking that giving them breacher shields to allow them to more easily hold positions that they've taken. Wrist chem-flamers (like on Deathshroud) combined with shields and a melee weapon of some kind (maybe two-handed to make up for not being able to use two weapons?) sounds like an interesting assault unit. Again, not sure how this compares to your's and Squig's vision of how they will be equipped. Is there any more info on any of the units beyond what is written in the thread?

simison Posted September 23, 2016 Author Share Posted September 23, 2016 Still struggling to catch up on homework, hence my sporadic posting of late. Did want to pop in and comment on the new Leman Russ model. Finally answers the side debate on what his canon hair color is (or maybe I was behind on it). Looks awesome.

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yep marvelous. Will be the base for quize a few conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 He does look awesome. A pretty perfect base for Hectarion at least I'd say, unfortunately he's a bit bulky for K'awil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikhalLeNoir Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 (edited) For hec there exists even a better base. Just wait^^ By the way. Is Kawil very big or more one of the smaller primarchs? Edited September 23, 2016 by MikhalLeNoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 He's smaller. Probably around Fulgrim sized all told. He would have slimmer shin/boot armour than either Kurze or Corax, but otherwise they would be pretty close in size too. This is based entirely off the images on forgeworld's site as I only have one of the Primarch models so far and that's Angron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikhalLeNoir Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 I'm the only one that hates it then? Gawrsh. Seems so^^ @Grifft: Okay. Fulgrim is rather big, Kurze.is somewhat small. Corax.is veeery big. I haven't found a model which would fit to Kawil, but there are a lot of optional companies whem it comes to primarchs. Maybe even a 1/32 scale fantasy model with a little work makes a good primarch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelborn Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Jeez does he look cool. :D Though I'd prefer him to have a more copper colored hair like it was described by Abnett: blonde with dried blood in his hair But the rest: looks really good :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Dammit. This is the problem with not being able to compare the model directly. I really need to buy them all at some point... Oh well, just another thing to add to the list. @Raktra: I will say he's not my favourite and like most of the Primarchs I'm not the biggest fan of his face, but I also wish that Forgeworld had made helmets for the Primarchs as an option. Even so I look forward to seeing more of him. Raktra 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Yeah, I will admit that my first reaction to the Angron model was utter hatred, and he ended up being my second painted Primarch, so things could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hair's a suck factor, yeah, but overall to me there's nothing striking me about it. I find it kinda boring really, minus the cool-ass base.
