Captain Semper Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Well, it’s early days yet... I mean Gryphonicus has a special rule about having too many Reavers... I’m sure the number of maniple types will increase as the game matures.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can't wait until we start seeing more Legios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vogon Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I now have my Reaver in my hot little hands and am sorry to say that the arms are ball and socket joints with no pre moulded holes for magnets. Time to break out the drills and pin-vices guys. I will probably use 2mm myself. Cheers Vogon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I suspect because the Reaver is much cheaper? Shame. It means I'll have to wait until the weapon arms are released since I want different builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucidNinja Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah I wouldn't have as much of an issue if they released all the weapons straight up. Being able to magnetize means you can proxy for now and fix later easily. But as said they are half the price so somethings gotta give Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achinadav Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 That is slightly disappointing given the warlord's design. I'm not that surprised, though, given that the warhound is ball and socket. I'm not sure the price of the model is a good reason either; surely it doesn't add much to production or design cost to add a couple of magnet holes?

Reyner Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Yeah it would have been nice to have pre made magnet holes - my Reaver tomorrow will probably be armed with the power fist and laser blaster over gatling blaster though, unless anyone thinks that is a crappy loadout?

Sandlemad Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It is a bit disappointing, particularly considering the reaver is so versatile. I was hoping to have it ready and magnetised for the eventual melta cannon. Trying to figure out the sprues... How easy would it be to 'simply' shave off a bit of the arm ball joint and add a magnet, then do the same to the socket? It would limit movement to the horizontal but does it look viable or is this a serious dremel/dril job? Seems less of an issue for the warhound though, considering it's got a more limited range of loadouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 It'll certainly delay my purchases which is probably a good thing for me right now! Though business it's clearly not ideal. After all, it has slowed my interest in Necromunda waiting for upgrades to my chosen gang etc. On that note, when do we think the first weapons packs will come out? *** Hmm maybe someone who doesn't want the Laser Blaster would want to swap it for the other arms for me...

shandwen Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Im not a huge fan of the maker of the clip, but SpikeyBits has a decent video of magnetizing a Reaver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendi Warrior Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 While looking for magnets I came across a product combining a magnet with a steel ball. The magnet is shaped so the steel ball fits nicely. Possibly something to use or adapt for the Reaver http://www.greenstuffworld.com/en/rotation-magnets-n52/427-rotation-magnets-size-s.html Still no idea as to the additional weapons sprues will look like. I would love to have an idea about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burni Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I like that product Mendi Warrior, good find! Not sure how I'm going to go about sorting the Reaver's weapons, maybe that product will be ideal. I'm planning on having a few Reavers so maybe one has a fixed fist (designated fister?) and just one magnetised arm and the others have 2 but can't take fists (oo er). I just wish we knew what the other weapon arms will need, especially the chainfist. I know I could wait, but I really want to build my reaver! Of course none of this would have been a problem if GW had followed through with the magnet holes on all titans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Picked up my reaver today and am again blown away by the sheer insane level of detail on this plastic kit. I’m bowing down to the plastic krak gods at GW right now. I’m going to be sellin off a bunch of stuff now to make room on my painting table as I am settling in for the long haul with these minis. Also, Legio Ignatum reporting for duty with a warlord and reaver thus far and a banner of Hawkshroud knights. So excited for the warhounds- finally going to paint my 28mm one to stand beside her 8mm sister:):) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burni Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I’m doing my knights as house Taranis. I know they were basically out for the count during the Heresy but I like the scheme and history of them plus they seem like the perfect fit to go with Ignatum to my Mars obsessed brain! So I’m just saying that there were a few banners of Taranis on the expedition fleets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilofix Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Trying to decide on a canon HH traitor Legio. It’s like every one of them has a red and / or black scheme. Might have to go Furean just to look different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to go Furean just to look different. It's true that yellow with sick black flames is the coolest and best scheme around, certainly, but what about Legio Krytos? They've got that SoH-ish verdigris. Or blue and silver for the traitor elements of the Legio Tempestus. Or the purple of the Legio Xestiobax who... were sort of traitor? They're nearly the only force that seem to have fought loyalists (kind of) and been pardoned for it after the heresy despite their weird psyker tech.

Crap... is it possible an arc mechanicus got suck in the mother of all warp storms and travelled back 10,000 years?... Will have to have a look into that. Any decent pictures of the scheme around?

Captain Idaho Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 An individual Maniple could have changed colours for any number of reasons during the Great Crusade ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt. Bannockburn Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 No, not really. It's a possibility that that's what happened, or it could simply be the fact that it got retconned. In Mechanicum, they're blue. But for a Martian house, the red would fit better in any case. I have found no definitive answer to the question if there was a colour change after their refounding, and I'll paint mine red, simply for the fact that my maniple is already blue and that there are more reference images around.
