Archaeinox Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Cool. Now if all the IG folks in my area would stop randomly screaming AAAAAAAAAGH during games that'd be greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat. There used to be an Ork player who did that Waaagh! crap excessively and I was happy to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrLoveMonkey Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Oh my god he's awesome, why is this only happening a month before 8th? It's like the first guard thing since the last codex I've gotten excited about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Kind of weird that they bring out rules for him barely a month before the rules become invalid ... but I'll go with it. They're free, and for 25 points he's pretty good! Plus he's Sly Marbo!! I wonder if this means he'll be back in 8th as well. Maybe I'll have to kit-bash that Praetorian themed Marbo after all!!! He would have to be a guy with a pith helmet,big moustache and no jacket but with bracers and call him "Sneaky Remington" Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoridon Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 If they're doing this so close to the new edition then surely they have 8th Edition rules for him ready to upload when everything changes. Maybe there was a lot of demand for him in the feedback from the last set of FAQs, Q&A etc. I was going to use his model as a random officer... now he gets to be himself again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inso Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Isn't this for that new kill team game? It seems a bit odd to release it for a dead game like 40k (with the WH40K AoS game coming out soon... with different stats etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 So much missed opportunity for a rule called "First Blood" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Hermit Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Great thing about this is I actually have a copy of the old model still in packaging that I have been meaning to paint up to match my army. And I was going to just use him as a proxy for an Eversor or something. This is great. Always loved Marbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 For some reason, I was half expecting him to have 8th edition rules. Not sure why. 8th hasn't dropped yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 He's not going to get 8th edition rules. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes no sense unless they are expecting a lot of diehards to stick with 7th ed instead of embracing the new WH40k AoS game... I am very surprised by this.

sedibear Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 What's the cheapest way to get him in an allied detachment?The most flavorful would definitely be Straken (HQ), Vet Squad in camo gear with Sniper Rifles/Heavy Flamer and Sergeant Harker (Troops), then Marbo (Elite).

sedibear Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 No demo charge but 40pts less than the original (he was 65 in 5th iirc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most flavorful would definitely be Straken (HQ), Vet Squad in camo gear with Sniper Rifles/Heavy Flamer and Sergeant Harker (Troops), then Marbo (Elite). When looking at that page, it doesnt say he is taken in any specific army does it? Meaning he is his own faction right? So you can just simply "take him" correct? Also its a shame he cant charge on turns he arrives 1 inch away from people, it would be much more interesting in my view and builds that cinematic view of him just suddenly showing up behind somebody and stabbing them then going back into the jungle lol. But damn, they took their sweet time to bring him back from the grave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero88 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 No assaulting from reserves has me believing he will either die as soon as he comes on the board or die from overwatch, but hey, for 25 points who cares right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Ed Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 They are scuttling the last edition. The weird, the crazy, and the OP is the order of the day. They did it during the End Times too. Things like Marbo, Castellans, and the triumvirate are symptoms of it. I bet the Ynnari, Celestine, Cawl, and Guilliman will all be toned a bit in the new edition.

Nicodemus Doloroso Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I sure hope Ynarri are toned way down. I ended up on the top table in a tournament last weekend and faced a Ynnari force. It was absolutely ridiculous and broken to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Source?WH40k facebook page. Repeated phrases of "models we sell right now will get rules", and "no 8th ed rules for marbo in the works" kinda tell a grim story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my estimation, this is being done only because his rules were just released for the kill team game and he was then ported over to 7th as a "why not, lets have some fun" novelty, not because they expect people to stick with 7th.

So you can just simply "take him" correct? The datasheet clearly shows the Astra Militarum faction icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
