Sete Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Found the original poster: (Not one to take credit) From reddit: Saw Marbos Rules. u/corrin_avatan HQ, 4 power level. Catachan, Astra, Imperium, Sly Marbo. Str 3, t 3, 5+ armor. 2 for ws and bs, 4 wounds, cannot take Warlord Trait or take orders. 3 shot pistol that always wounds Infantry on a 2, no ap. 4 attacks, Knife always wounds on a 2 against infantry. You can set him up for deep strike, and when he comes in, pick 1 of 3 options: Shoot a unit, ignoring the Character rule until the next turn, rule calls out he specifically shoots when he arrives, and can then shoot again during the actual shooting phase. Stalk with Knife, roll a d6 and move that many inches, and gain +2 attacks until the start of the next movement phase. Concealed explosives, pick a unit, roll a d6, add 1 if unit has more than 10 models, -1 if it is a character. On 4+ d3 mortal wounds, 7+ d6 mortal wounds. Fighting a Shadow: 1 / battle, at the beginning of your movement phase, if no enemy within 6 inches, Marbo goes back into deep strike, and can be redeployed the next turn. Procing his "show up" ability again. EDIT:. I FORGOT UNTIL NOW, Marbo gets +2 in cover instead of +1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isolia Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) It's in all official GW stores. They'll have him here in France, I just checked with my local GW. Not available in non-GW stores in France either. Not available online in 2017, but next year yes , we don't know when yet .

Withershadow Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Those rules are pretty stupid, he’ll have to cost 120 points or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finkmilkana Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Those rules are pretty stupid, he’ll have to cost 120 points or more. Why? He doesn’t seem any better than for example an eversor assasin and that is 70. In many dimensions Sly is actually worse (less attacks, doesn’t explode, less survivability etc), only things he has going for him is wounding on 2+ and the return to deepstrike (which seems very situational because it can only trigger in round 2 and makes him miss 1 round).

Ishagu Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He should be around 50 points imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withershadow Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He does seem better than an Eversor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptix Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He does seem better than an Eversor.Guardsman defensive stats and no invuln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hitting and wounding (infantry only) on 2+ while being able to reposition himself quickly and being a Character is pretty damn strong. Now it just depends on his weapons AP and Damage stat. If he has AP0 all the wounding on 2+ is not worth that much. If he has AP-3 he'd be an extremely strong infantry killer.

Sete Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He will be good against cheap hordes with demo charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He does seem better than an Eversor.Guardsman defensive stats and no invuln. Pretty much this He could die pretty easy to overwatch. I wouldn't assume anything just yet about how strong he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redmapa Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 He looks solid disruption for less than 100pts, I mean its not like old Marbo was destroying armies on his own either so this is perfectly fine support for an army that's sending a bunch of other units into the fray allowing Marbo or other units to get their job done, like Marines or Stormtroopers.

Kastor Krieg Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 GW just HAD TO veer back into the old left field skullduggery. Marbo won't be available at your FLGS, they even won't be able to order him for the 100% MSRP, nope. He's Mail Order and sold _ONLY_ via the Games Workshop store. Sigh. What, where'd they announce this. Not sure if they said it outright, my supplier was refused an order and given this reason - online purchases only.

Isolia Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Again, it's GW official stores only (no non-GW retailer) next week, then online order only next year as far as we know. Basically if your storekeeper doesn't wear the official GW shirt / polo, you're gonna have to wait for online ordering or have a trip to one of the brand stores. It's written up there a few posts before. The source is every GW official store manager around, at least in Paris and we have 7 or 8 shops I the area =) Edited December 22, 2017 by Isolia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 So being in the middle of Alaska, that makes the closest official GW store...British Columbia. That’s only 1400 miles away, easy drive! For some reason I’m not a fan of GW store exclusives. Sete 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
