brother_contagion Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The last big thing we got was the Warlord Titan, so surely the Emperor will show up eventually, right? I just really want my Emperor miniature Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320373-when-are-we-going-to-see-the-emperor-on-the-tabletop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
helterskelter Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 After the primarchs and constantin Valdor I'd guess. Maybe in a duel with Horus v.2 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320373-when-are-we-going-to-see-the-emperor-on-the-tabletop/#findComment-4335988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Iirc, FW has said that there will be a model, but has not specified as to whether or not he'll get rules as well. (no, I don't have a source, it was a looooong time ago, back when Angron was a new model).

Balthamal Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 As of March 2015 (last time I spoke to Simon Egan in person and asked him) they're undecided on rules for him but he will have a model and it'll likely be the last model they do for HH Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320373-when-are-we-going-to-see-the-emperor-on-the-tabletop/#findComment-4336042 Share on other sites More sharing options...
God-Potato of Mankind Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm not sure how they'd balance it, unless he's only fieldable in a specific mission in the last HH book where he fights Chaos-Horus.

Amayasu Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'm not sure how they'd balance it, unless he's only fieldable in a specific mission in the last HH book where he fights Chaos-Horus. This is what I was thinking too. I'm sure they want to be true to the narrative, and it's just an important part of it. I hope there are no general rules for him, just rules tied to the missions in the final book of the HH series.

Hydriatus Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I remember rumours of something like him being unable to be killed, but you can win if you wipe out his army instead...

m_r_parker Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 At the Weekender they did say there would be a model, no idea on things like rules or schedule - but a model is definitely on the cards. If you're specifically waiting for it, it may be a while (duel with Horus seems appropriate, so probably when the series reaches the Siege of Terra.

Charlo Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Scouring. They said that the siege doesn't end the Heresy series at the weekender. Also, it's not like BL is currently doing a series involving orks set after the Heresy that is ripe for a new setting and rules.... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320373-when-are-we-going-to-see-the-emperor-on-the-tabletop/#findComment-4336179 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenaur Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The Big E is probably the only model in the character series I'd buy just for the hell of it, what do you want to bet he comes mounted on half Horus's battle barge? So that FW can rake in all the monies.

Olis Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Scouring. They said that the siege doesn't end the Heresy series at the weekender. Well, seeing as the Scouring and the Heresy is the same war/series of wars, I wouldn't be surprised if the Siege was not the ultimate end to the books.

Marshal Rohr Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 A golden throne option would be cool. They don't really need rules for him either. If they want a final battle scenario, the mission should just structure around people getting to the throne room.

Luna707 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 In case he does have rules and isn't a campaign only character, how many points do you all think he will be worth? Like 800 maybe? I'm assuming he will have Both a fantastic statline and some serious army buffs Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320373-when-are-we-going-to-see-the-emperor-on-the-tabletop/#findComment-4336721 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raktra Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 The official version is that you just set off a batch of thermite in the middle of the enemy's army. It's got to both simulate his blinding presence and the fact that he'd melt any opposition.
