Aaaaaaaahhhhhskaoappakskwkwn hopefully I get my money back from my rip off experience before then!

That sounds terrible, I'll recite a canticle for you. Hopefully this helps you get a god-machine alongside the rest of us.

I've learned from my mistake, and have sacrificed another 30% of my flesh to the Omnissiah, may I be blessed with the salvation of cold mathmatic logic.

Some new info from chapter master Valrak!!! (

)

Plenty of stuff we already "know" but some new stuff as well. Alludes to June release even if Valrak himself is doubtful.

Castellans are ~670 points. Both Castellan and Valiant have 28 wounds S8 T8

The missiles are one shot, castellan and valiant can have 4 of them. S10 AP-4 D6 damage and ignore invulnerable saves

Catellan Volcano Lance Heavy D6 18" S14 AP-4 2D6 damage

Other weapon is a plasma decimator Heavy 2d6 40" plasma cannon stats (so S7/8 AP-3 D1/2)

The shoulder guns are "autocannons" but with d3 damages so its 2d3 shots 48" S7 AP-1 Dd3 per shoulder.

The Valiants other weapon is "conflaguration" (he messed the word up)  Heavy 3 18" S6 AP-1 D6 damage

I'm wondering if they'll give the Castellans a stronger version of Titanic Feet as well, seeing as they want this thing to apparently get close to the enemy. Seeing as it's bigger than a regular Knight, maybe 4 attacks per 1 instead of 3?

 

It's not impossible, but the Porphyrion doesn't - and that thing is as big as a Warhound Titan

Sure, but that's a forgeworld model and those rules don't always reflect parity with mailine GW. Also, that might change with the codex. I wouldn't personally think that titanic feet are going to get better though, honestly I don't think they need to be. Melee weapons are in a bad spot as of right now but if the Canis Rex weapon is an indicator they might get a big buff since I doubt that his relic is that much better than a normal thunderstrike gauntlet.

 

 

 

The Valiants other weapon is "conflaguration" (he messed the word up)  Heavy 3 18" S6 AP-1 D6 damage

 

Conflagration sounds more like an incendiary weapon than a harpoon...  Is this a separate secondary weapon?

 

Exactly, English isn't my first language but that sounds like a super heavy flamer to me. TBH Valrak fumbled that entire sentence (he was excited I guess) so maybe I misheard the stats? He speaks about it at 4:45 in the video if you want to listen for yourselves..

He says the volcano lance is 80" range not 18". At least that's what I hear.

You might be right, I sure hope so! Regarding the conflagration, that entire sentence is a mess. I wonder if he mixes up two separate weapons?

To my ears he says "18 inch range S6 AP-1 2 damage" then he just says "auto-hits D6 damage".. Not sure if he says auto hits but it sort of sounds like it. It might be that the harpoon auto hits with d6 damage and theres a conflagration i e big flamer underneath it?

Points wise - 

 

Warden roughly being 411 points rather than 466. 

New super Knights are both in the same kit, will cost around 670 points each. 

Armiger with stubber now 164. 

 

Pre-order on 2nd June, 9th for release. 

 

Castellan and Valiant both have 4 1 shot missiles - s10 -4ap D6dmg, IGNORES INVULNS 

Shoulder cannons are essentially autocannons with d3 damage. 4d3 shots in total. 

 

Valiant - Thundercoil harpoon - heavy 1, s16 -6ap, 2d6 dmg. Reroll hits vs vehicles and monsters +d3 mortal wounds if you cause any damage. 

Valiant - Conflagration Cannon - 18" range, heavy 3, s6, -1ap, 2 dmg, autohits. But also says heavy 3, d6 dmg, so i think something has got mixed up here. 

 

Castellan - Volcano Lance - range 80", heavy d6, s14, -4ap, 2d6dmg. 

Castellan - Plasma Decimator - range 40", heavy 2d6 plasma cannon. 

I hear the same, 80" range on the volcano lance. On the conflagration cannon he says: "18", S6, Ap-1, 2 damage, Auto-hits, Heavy 3 D6 damage" I'm guessing he means Heavy 3d6 shots, 18", Auto-hits, S6, Ap-1 D2 for the stat line. 3 shots seems like way too few for a knight sized flamer weapon.

 

Valiant - Thundercoil harpoon...

 

....+d3 mortal wounds if you cause any damage. 

 

 

Str 16, -6 AP... 

 

'if' you cause any damage xD - they may as well just say 'yeah, you know what? Just go ahead and add the D3 mortal wounds' :tongue.:

 

Except for all the space elves and their dang invulnerable saves, or a happy little ork with a kustom force field. There are quite a few monsters/vehicles out there with invulns and all that fancy AP isn't going to be helpful then. It's one of the reasons I can't get on board with the shadowsword being the best super heavy. (Though with better knights that tank is going to become more common)

True. Still, that's a massive, massive hit when it lands. Kinda nice to have some mortal wound output too. Not much of that going around among Knights.
