BoomWolf Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Legion trait- +6 inches spell casting What, when did they say that? Kind of a lousy trait honestly. Gift of Chaos at 12"? Yes please! ... ....... Holy....didn't think of that one. Lets one up this-Gift of Chaos at 12" used by a disk riding dude that moves 12"? "get your special snowflake within 24" of my, I dare ya."

hhhdan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 the crystal relic gives a teleportation to a unit near the relic bearer, like the necron relic from Chapter Approved. Could be fantastic on big unit of rubrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoomWolf Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Wait, we have that AND a DS stratagem? Who needs a transport XD Though you can't take too big squads if its just like the necron relic-you gotta end up WHOLLY within 6" of the user.

Panzer Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Suddenly the tides turned lol. Magnus dead, Predator exploded from a single Landraider salvo and took 3 wounds off the Daemon Prince as well. Landraider with two Terminators slowly advancing towards the TSons deployment zone and I don't really see anything to stop it lol Problem is that Magnus whiffed his damage rolls. He and the Mutalith together didn't manage to kill the 5 Custodian Wardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhhdan Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 And what does doombolt actually do? i've posted it some time ago, when they first used it: it does some damage and halves the target unit's movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Well Magnus lost his re roll aura, and sadly I never heard him do anything favourable for the army. (Not that I know that conclusively) but it appears Magnus may have become even more Magnus-centric than his Index version. He may still be better suited for Tzeentch... I would feel better if during the game they mentioned anything that indicated Magnus helps the army (any aura, any ability). Not sure though. I'm waiting for Scarabs to do something too.

Nym Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Magnus has been completely nerfed... No more re-rolling Invulnerable saves, Smite is D3/D6 and he's got a fixed WL trait : knows one additionnal power. Btw, I think our Legion trait utterly sucks. Custodes get +1 to Invulnerable saves, making them virtually indestructible, and we got +6" to Psychic powers ? C'mon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we don't know what Magnus costs... he could be cheaper. It is clear to me that my 8th edition fears of Smite getting out of control has been realized by GW. Now they are pulling it back on armies that are forced to make a lot of mileage out of it... GK, and Thousand Sons. It will be interesting to say the least.

Sonoftherubric21 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I love our legion trait, however something is missing. its a 2 part trait. earlier when discussing cutlists someone asked if the trait benefitted the cultists, the GW people mentioned something about "they benefit greatly from it" in regards to that, so theres a peice missing. Almost all of this is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I heard them discussing d6/2d6 smite though... I also thought the first time he got smite off it was D6. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 As it stands now, take Magnus because you want Magnus in your game (for narrative reasons or because you love the model or whatever), not because he's such a strong choice. He doesn't seem to be utterly bad either tho so I think it's more or less fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the smite is unchanged for Magnus. The invul 1s is gone though. And the trait is fixed to knowing an additional power. Maybe we didnt see any of the abilities that they didn't say. They did mention that he is more 'shooty' in psychic phase and less durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
