Prot Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Oh wow... I don't care how much people hate me for doing it... I'm pulling the Custodes out again if these become legit for 40K.

MyD4rkPassenger Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I like the concept but I want to see the models themselves, the wings aren't really doing it for me right now, and I'm hoping they have a helmet option.

Darkwrath121 Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 What intrigues me is the loadout. Those bucklers look designed for punching through armour, as well as being for defence, while that spear doesn't look like a standard spear. No magazine on the underside, so I'm interested in seeing if it's a interestingly arranged guardian spear or an adrastite/pyrithite spear.

rcoon Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 They're just troops with higher movement basically? And the spear has the same stats as the lance from the jetbikes as opposed to being an armor mulching spear. So the unwanted child of a jetbike and a troop. I was hoping they'd have proper spear stats so I could deep strike, pop piercing strike and actually have a decent drop team to deal with Castellan Knights. EDIT: Oh and a worse save.

Danarc Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Quite meh for me. Both from model and rule point of view. But the telamon now isn't limited to only one and received a huge points drop.

caladancid Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Has anyone thought about head swaps for these guys? Would Primaris helmets fit/work?

I was thinking about that as an option, unfortunately I used my Sag helms for the Sags themselves. I am tempted to get a box of Allarus and use those helmets, but all of that seems a bit excessive.

wildweasel Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Mine are due on Wednesday, but that's me living in Seattle. At least I'll be able to get the package before LVO! Just ordered the three, but know that I realize that the Air Wing is actually at a discount, I'll prob order that, then do two full sqauds. One all pistols and bucklers, the other with 4 spears and 2 pistols/bucklers.

Meant to also ask, how is the quality of the sculpt/resin for these guys? Looks decent in Valrak's video, but I thought I should ask you also.

Silverson Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 They seem good to me but the only other forgeworld model I have bought was a leviathan dreadnought and compared to that the detail looks really good. One of my spears was snapped tho and I have only opened the first box so far.

Mr. Funktastic Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 So I have a few custom bases left over from the rest of my army I'd like to use for my Venatari but the flight stems don't sit flat on them at all, the whole surface is at an angle. Would it be in bad taste/modeling for advantage if I modeled them on foot without the flight stems? They would only be losing about 1/4" in height, which may make a difference in obscuring their model behind barricades (affecting whether or not they get a cover save).
