Slips Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 We're also getting the Malcador Assault Tank in Heavy Support?????

Lord Blackwood Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 I am actually interested in the Sky Slayer Jetbikes since Armored Breakthrough frees up my Heavy Support Slots quite a bit. Not to mention the potential of fitting another superheavy tank in my lists is pretty hype though I sorta hate the way malcadors look Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323356-legion-jet-bike-sky-slayer-support-squadron-other-tidbits/#findComment-4424726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeternus Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 This has irritatingly narrowed my choice of the next legion to go with down to two. Jetbikes ftw... I do kinda presume however these will just be jetbikes with full heavy weapons, and possibly something extra like a missile launcher for each.

Slips Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 No WW-Scorpius squadrons it would seem. That, in all honesty, is a good thing.

Soldier of Dorn Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Intriguing. May have to consider... things. I don't know what yet, but definitely things.

IronDrake28 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Does anyone have an idea of the time between something going on the bulletin and being released, or is it random?

Slips Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 The AOD:AL will be released at the Weekender in all likelihood which is in July or thereabouts.

grand_master85 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I suspect it'll be like the Sky Hunter Jetbike squad, but removing the 1 in 3 Heavy Weapons option, and giving them all Heavy Weapons of one choice instead. I mean, if they didn't add the new Solar Apothecary character to the Crusade Imperialis book or any of the book VI rites of war to the Legions book, I can't see them just adding new units to this book Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323356-legion-jet-bike-sky-slayer-support-squadron-other-tidbits/#findComment-4425056 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Malcadors as HS is coooooool. Â Fun thing to include in the eventual Iron Wing list :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323356-legion-jet-bike-sky-slayer-support-squadron-other-tidbits/#findComment-4425108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Makes Solar Auxilia a little less snowflake though, previously only they could have Malcadors as Heavy Support (can't remember if Militia can do this but they probably can lol). Good to see it for the Legion though and the new Sky Slayers sound interesting!

Caillum Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I wonder if they'll align the Malcador with the SA one... Siege Armour as an option, lower points cost, etc. Â Battle Speed is a cool rule though: would suck to lose that.

STC Logisengine Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 I concur, moving the Malcador assault tank to the HS-slot makes perfect sense, with only 6HP and "regular" armaments for medium/ Heavy tanks the LoW was an odd fit from the start even if it has the Super-Heavy rules, after all you almost Always will use it for the Battle Speed and zip around the table wiggling your eyebrows at those "fast" skimmers while distributing Demolisher Shells to the masses. HS jetbikes sounds awsome, I always wnted jetbikes but could not find use for them with the 1/3 limitation on weapon options, having a squad for tankhunting with multimeltas or LC's would be niiiice.

Iron Hands Fanatic Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hopefully the Mauler comes with prospero. I know! Can't wait to see what the Mauler Battle Tank is! I'd imagine it'll probably have some aesthetic similarities to the Malcador & Mastadon as they're both older vehicles from the start of the Great Crusade, and the first mention of the Mauler was during the Battle of Rust back in Massacre, which was one of the Iron Hands' first campaigns outside Sol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323356-legion-jet-bike-sky-slayer-support-squadron-other-tidbits/#findComment-4425345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Malcador Tank in heavy support is brilliant. Â Guilliman can give it Tank Hunters, Interceptor or Implacable Advance which would make it very useful indeed :-) Â *Edit* Â Sorry I've gone off topic but this is a pretty big and exciting change lol Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/323356-legion-jet-bike-sky-slayer-support-squadron-other-tidbits/#findComment-4425536 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flint13 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Well I should've put and other tidbits in the title really so it's my bad for not being inclusive of it I got you fam. So... I'm all for spreading the love around... but why put Malcadors in the legion list? It seems a little non sequitur. Like suddenly if you take the Warp Cult providence you can now include Legion Astartes contemptor dreadnoughts as heavy support.
