sishuttleworth Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 As per the topic, does anyone think we might get rules to use the new models in a chaos army? Would be a simple way for GW to sell even more of these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I think we don't and I personally also hope we don't. Getting the same stuff as the loyalists just slightly different is a bit boring. I'd rather see something new for chaos that's completely unique instead. Shinespider 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sishuttleworth Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Agree, but in the absence of anything soon it would give us some great conversion options. Not aware of the fluff for these things, but you'd think it would be as reasonable for us to have as chaos knights and titans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 While not exactly the same as a Knight Armiger, and largely dependent on the acceptance of your local gaming group of both Forge World and of Counts As, I believe that a Knight Armiger would make a pretty cool looking conversion for a Decimator :) Kierdale 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kierdale Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I see a Slaanesh Subjugator in that kit, so I want one for Chaos :tu: Doctor Perils, Lexington and hushrong 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to get my hands on the kit and look at butchering it a bit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Perils Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I see a Slaanesh Subjugator in that kit, so I want one for Chaos I love this idea too, but what size were the original Subjugators supposed to be? How would you play it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goreshed Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I could have sworn that Subjugators were warhound titan size, so significantly larger than what these are supposed to be. But either way I'd love to see one converted to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I doubt chaos will get access to them. For the moment, I hope we don’t unless the rules are in a free pdf. Otherwise, they’ll charge us $40 for a book with 2 units in it. I’d rather we still get access to them, but in the form of a fully fledged dark mechanicus book somewhere down the line.

Kierdale Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I checked and, indeed, the Subjugator was Warhound-sized. The Hellknight (‘bolters and thermal lance’), Hellstrider (‘lascannons and melta’) and Hellscourge (‘multibarrel Castigator cannon’) were Knight-sized :tu: hushrong 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Marshal Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Most I'd expect is a Renegade House 'Chapter Tactics' in the inevitable Imperial Knights book that gives them the <Chaos> keyword but I won't hold my breath for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Take a spearhead/vanguard of maulerfiends and forgefiends, there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Yeah Maulerfiends actually fill an extremely similar battlefield role for Chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree of heretic knight houses are included in the imperial knight codex, I'm sure we will have them. Otherwise probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bat33.1 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 While the model is cool and all it's rules make it a more expensive and worse hellforged contemptor, lower T and no invulnerable save, less weapon options. It's a solid meh for me based on rules. The model looks fine and great conversion potential but for me it's a wait and see. I expect the model to be all over eBay soon anyway.

Khornestar Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 It does have an invuln save, I’m pretty sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Discord Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Huh, I like the idea of getting two of them, swapping weapons, doing some other conversion work, and using them as counts-as Maulerfiends and Forgefiends. It's grown on me over time, but I still prefer a more mechanical look in my Chaos war engines, opposed to the biomechanical (daemechanical?) look that GW has chosen to move towards. *scribbles another note in his black book of ideas* Thank you B&C for being an endless well of ideas and perspective. :) Slave to Darkness and Khornestar 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scourged Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 That is absolutely genius. A quick glance at the sprue reveals how easy a leg swap would be. Switch out chicken legs for crab legs and it's gold. Gives a vibe of an unaligned Blood Slaughterer. Get ahold of some mechatendrils, some spare chain and brass icons for good measure, a helping of gargoyle heads, and of course some skulls... Yup. I just may shamelessly "borrow" this idea!

Bat33.1 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 It does have an invuln save, I’m pretty sure. Your correct it does have an invulnerable my mistake but I still stand by my judgement that it's too expensive for what it brings. Dunecrawler has the same T and 1 less wound for 100 points less. It will find some use but I hope GW reduce its points before Knights get a codex release. I've been told to expect a Cerastus style plastic Knight kit later this year, I kind of wrote it off when mini knight appeared with a longer striding leg style but the latest rumour picture has me wondering if that's a knight exhaust part? Watch the skies I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the skies I guess... Can't disagree with you there, it's a bit on the expensive side for sure. I'm very curious if they're really gonna just add some chaos/renegade options in the codex, when it eventually comes out. Holding off on any knight purchases until then.
