Grifftofer Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I worked in-store for GW about 8 years ago, but nothing more recently. I'd love to work in rules design though, I just don't know how I would break into that world :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/61/#findComment-4747666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
simison Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Tell you what, let's blow the socks of GW/FW with BotL and maybe we can use the project to get in. You can go into rules development, while Blunt and I become BL writers. And the others get dibs on wherever they want to go.

simison Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Knights are out. I'm beginning to see a trend when it comes to the big models. Movement and WS is the common denominator between the Morkanauts and Knights. Morkanauts lose Attacks while Knights lose BS Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/61/#findComment-4747777 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grifftofer Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 It's beginning to look as though 2+ saves are going to be pretty rare, given that the Knight, Dreadnought and Morkanaut all have 3+ saves and are all big and heavily armoured. It'll be interesting to see if the 'super-heavy' armour like on Land Raiders or Fortifications gets a 2+ or if they just get higher Toughness values.

simison Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 You know, rereading the Grave Stalker's early years, I'm surprised by the similarities between them and the Drowned. Both often acted as scout forces early on due to depleted numbers and became bitter with their roles as specialists, which would lead to their downfalls. Â I'm also surprised how many Legions weren't ready to go solo at the start of the Great Crusade: Grave Stalkers, The Drowned, Iron Bears, and Crimson Lions. Almost a full quarter of the Legions had to avoid independent campaigns for the sake of survival.

Skalpynock Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Add the Warriors at Peace to that list. The Emperor effectively started his Great Crusade with only three quarters of his legion in complete operability.

bluntblade Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 How does that compare to canon, I wonder? We don't quite know the full story there, but I suspect the V was cripped before Jaghatai because he so utterly swept away what had been before him.

We don't quite know the full story there, but I suspect the V was cripped before Jaghatai because he so utterly swept away what had been before him. I believe it's stated that in canon, the Vth and IXth both had gene-seed problems around the same time as the IIIrd, although not on the same scale Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/329759-general-discussion-secundus/page/61/#findComment-4749211 Share on other sites More sharing options...
