Valerian Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Absolutely I’ll give my AI Pack Leaders a Thunder Hammer. I don’t currently plan on using the Judiciar; I don’t really see a need for him over other Character options, but we’ll see, I suppose. Like, if he’s an Elite and not an HQ choice, then he could have a spot, if his rules are good, and points are reasonable.

Valerian Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 They’ll have Storm Shields, Heavy Bolt Pistols, and Master-crafted Power Swords (damage 2). There won’t be options for weapon or equipment changes.

Kallas Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 well at least the ATV isn't as dumb as space-marines-in-motor-cycle-side-cars. Hard to out-dumb the classic Attack Bike. The ATV is awful. Attack Bikes looked pretty lame, but at least they fit the aesthetic (ie, the base bike was the same). The ATV just looks terrible in every single way: - Unarmored front - Terrible spacing for the driver/gun (if it depresses, it's going to hit the driver's head) - Driver doesn't even have a Power Pack - Looks to have no suspension Generally just looks terrible. In my opinion of course. I can't see myself ever buying that model: if the rules are great (I expect they will be to sell that trash) then I am definitely going third party/converting the new bikes.

Maouw Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 On another topic, i figured out something that prove i am really dumb... I totally forgot smash captain, wolf and rune priest are all hq, not elite (don't ask me why i sudently forgot they where HQ, i don't know myself...) So basicly, how are we gonna manage that, since powerfull character are one of the strength of S spend CP and pts into another detachment like the good old day ?W ? Are we gonna have to spend cp and pts in another detachment to take some ?

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 I actually like the ATV, it could use some front armor but otherwise I think it fits well in the marine aesthetic. @Kallas space marine drivers dont have power packs as they are hooked into the vehicle's power. Look to land speeder and stormwolf pilots for example.

Kallas Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Attack Bike gunners never had backpacks The drivers did. As did all of the regular Biker riders. You're right that the gunners didn't. Allow me to add to my previous statement: the ATV looks awful. Attack Bikes weren't good, but they at least held to a similar aesthetic, which the ATV does not.

Bryan Blaire Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Meh, looks similar to two bikes crammed side to side to me, with stuff in between, so there's a similar aesthetic there - it's too bad they didn't put armored fairings on the front tires and raise the rear half-turret up - those are likely easy fixes though. Let's move on from the ATV - you like it or you don't. Don't ruin the thread with circular :cuss you aren't going to convince others of anyway. There's nothing objective there to argue, so no one can be "right" - it's just the same boring head butting without the excitement of a Wolf hold brawl. For me, the incoming box interests me much more for all the Necrons (although I will NOT be starting an army of them) and only the Assault Intercessors (and even those have more duplicates than I'm interested in). Nothing else is of interest me, except the rules for stuff, because I'll be converting anything I want to play or waiting for a more suitable version I can convert easier. I can definitely see the Captain, Bladeguard, Judicar, and Eradicators fitting into the Wolves in some form - the Ancients have always fit, IMO, and obviously Wolf Priests are Wolf Priests. The game rules seem interesting, but I have some reservations.
