Captain Idaho Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thank you for your concern. Things move on of course so let's leave it at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefeb Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Im stoked. I love the model and the whole primaris development. This is from someone who has the entire 3rd company ultras and who is now gradually repeating the 3rd company in primaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I'm super hyped. Rushing to finish my last few Primaris Marines before wave 2 hits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptix Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The heck are the intake vents for!? The people wish to know!Apparently the MkX armor generates an ABSURD amount of heat. During a scene in plague wars, they have to cross a river corrupted by Nurgle's rot and filled with corpses, so they seal their armor, including the vents. One marine nearly cools himself alive from the heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One marine nearly cools himself alive from the heat. I think that's marine armour in general that generates a ton of heat, not just MkX. Remember: Marine "backpacks" are power pack generators that are miniaturized NUCLEAR REACTORS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that air cooling the reactor would really do much either (it doesn't in modern reactors, however, that's fission, not the potentially fusion reactors of the Marine packs). However, they don't seem to vent any level of steam, so the cooling mechanism is likely not something currently Earth-known. Besides, I doubt they really have game effects, the designer likely thought they'd be a cool addition. I'd have to remove them immediately though. Would be interesting if they do have a game function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting if they do have a game function. Well, iirc, marine backpacks vent the excess heat. And yeah, Calgar's massive vents are.... Odd. Like, they looks like air intakes, as he has the normal marine power pack exhausts on his backpack, but air-cooling a fusion generator won't do much, if anything at all, for the heat.... Great, now the more I look at them, the more they bug me. Thanks guys :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 If those are vents, and not intakes, he better not walk around with that helmet off much, or he's going to need more bionics than just that eye! I'd be ordering "Don't put those near my head, geniuses! I like my face." if I were him. :lol: :lol: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Idaho Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Strange thing to say considering my usual position but the size of Guilliman lends itself well to the Honour Guard. If they're separate releases I could get them for Guilliman as bodyguards, depending on the rules. Kind of like super soldiers created to protect him.

Prot Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 There’s a cool piece of artwork where it looks like these Victrix are fighting with Guilliman. It’s an older piece but I have to wonder how long they’ve had this in the works. There is datasheets In the Vigilus book for Victrix and Honour Guard which I found interesting. I wonder if these models are exclusively Victrix, or could stand in as Honour Guard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derLumpi Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 They also release the old honour guards on their own, so we can assume that we can use both the two new ones and the old ones! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Idaho Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 The new ones should be superior in rules. The old Honour Guard had horrific rules for taking the damage of hits instead of the hits themselves. Absurd really and fixed in subsequent Codex books. With an Apothecary and those 2 Victrix Honour Guard, Guilliman has just become even harder to kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishagu Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I hope these new Honour Guard actually join the character they protect, or are characters themselves. The few times I've run the old honor guard they just give up first blood or get killed off early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightSilver Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 White Dwarf just arrived and the 2 Honour Guard are included with Marneus Calgar in one box.However it's a fair bit cheaper than I was expecting - £32.50 for the 3 models direct from GW, so around £26 from a 3rd party store which is actually pretty good?

StraightSilver Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Warhammer Community have just done a brief rules preview for Calgar.His statline and armour are both pretty good, and it doesn't explain how his Honour Guard work, but his weapons seem pretty underwhelming, which is a shame.

Ishagu Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 He's great. 8 wounds, toughness 5, 6" movement. Weapons the same as before but are totally fine. If he's too strong the costs will spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
