VII storm shields

They won't fit Tartaros, that was confirmed at the Open Day due to the differences in the arms. They're supposed to be coming with arms attached for ease of assembly - word was they were a nightmare when you had to glue the fists on. 

 

Much like the Legion weapons stuff that's ready to roll I'd expect them within the month. Probably straight after the offer on free shipping expires

Just do what I did, and scour eBay and bits sites* for the Tartaros ones! biggrin.png

* Part of this process is inevitably giving up, because no bits sites or eBay ever have any of these in stock, ever, and just buying expensive packs of Terminator upgrade sets from Forgeworld for the single, lonesome shield in each, getting your squad up to spec, and then having Forgeworld preview a set of official proper ones just as you're done.

Ouch. I think I just gained the USR Feel Your Pain.

On the plus side, they look boss!

wait so no Tartaros option??

Fun fact, we also had a discussion in the IF tactics as RAW Tartaros cannot even take SS ohmy.png

No way I just checked it says standard terminator armour which has included Tartaros up until this point.

Well that's just it. The change to Tartaros being a thing with unique rules was before the new Legions book and that only calls out Cataphractii specifically.

Which, in a way makes sense - as by giving them access you do make Tartaros the default and "best" option by a mile. But I suppose it's unque enough to count as the 7th's special legion terminator.

HMMMMM.

That's a really cool shield, but I can't find it in the FW store.

@Pathatrick, I bought 30 tomb kings shields last month to do breachers sweat.gif and now this... wallbash.gif

Thats why, in the meantime, you buy the Black Templar Terminator Storm Shields:

99550101084_BlackTemplarsStormShields01.

Though there will be a bit of work to make the wrist sit properly since it has the Plastic Terminator Groove / Arm Slot.

Also, last I heard, we'd be getting Storm Shields available in Tartarus or Cataphractii Flavors. We'll have to just wait and see.
