Bedouin2 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 If I remember correctly, there's a side passage that says his stint in the Deathwatch was for only two years, and from how it read it made it seem like it was past tense. But I could be wrong, but I do fully remember it was for only 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kua Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 What about the option of him staying in DW and becoming a DW character in the future? This would explain the missing answer from FW if the cannot tell about GW’s future plans. @ CaE: Yes, one paragraph of text is something we should be used to be satisfied with as fluff for a character or even an entire chapter. Korvydae appeared in IA 8 and had entire four little paragraphs, this isn’t little and way more than just a name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellrender Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Just wanted to chime in. Bran Redmaw has also been cut out, but it is rumoured that, like the Corsairs, he will get more attention again once FW gets along to updating all their books in full again. (Which means you can wait years...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayasu Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I appreciate there may be narrative reasons, and FW may want to explore this stuff in a future book... but the reality is they sell a model we can't use, the index books (books intended the bridge the gap were describing) should have him covered. Very disappointed, and a waste of £15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) I used his body for a lightning claws captain that will count as Shrike until I get my kitbash done. Besides, I'd rather there be a model with no rules than rules for model that doesn't exist.

Amayasu Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 "He is effectively just a captain with Thunder hammer and a jump pack and the Raven Guard keyword, so we did not do a separate sheet for him" Forgeworld's reply this morning. Hmm. Kua 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Poe Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 Just as I suspected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 That makes sense, as his old rules are all covered by the current rules. FoC chart swaps appear to be dead and buried, as the new FOC layouts cover everything you could dream of. Just use him as a generic Captain with jump pack and thunder hammer leading an Outrider detachment of Assault Marines with some Scouts. Everyone has hit and run now to some extent, and since he has a jump pack, he can shoot after falling back. His only other rule was a restriction that you must take a Scout squad, which you can self impose in the Outrider detachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Welp, time to order him. The conspiracy theorist in me says he's going to get phased out as a model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claws and Effect Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 They'll probably keep making him until the mold wears out or breaks and just won't replace it. Seems to be FWs M.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Today's FAQ just addressed him. Use as basic Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amayasu Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Yes, a shame. Quite a few characters replaced with generic stuff. Lots of chapters that need the flavour suddenly find themselves lacking. Doubly so if you play the Minotaurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Race Bannon Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Which have some amazing models, in my opinion. I dunno, I just can't get past him having a TH. I mean, why not I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
