Orange Knight Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Yeah I saw that, but at least it's profile and cost are both solid. People can still run it as a heavy support and people's models will not go to waste.

WrathOfTheLion Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) I lost one of the twin linked bolters I converted for a Mars pattern rhino, however the pintle sprue has all the extra rhino bits, so I think I'll just take the Rhino parts to make a twin-linked bolter from the one included in a Kratos. They seem to fit, so it should work. I rather like the utility of that sprue, lots of extra bits and you can probably even kit out some of the resin kits with some extra pintle weapons.

Armillion Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I will keep using my Phobos as 'counts-as' Proteus Carriers for the purposes of dedicated transports fory units .since they are essentially identical rules and sizewise and were the only option in 1.0, and would let anyone else do the same. Otherwise it gets into nonsensical territory of siliy things like "a unit may take a diemos rhino as a DT" and having a mars rhino or mars predator as legacy pdf, or my tigrus pattern bolter is different from your umbra pattern bolter. As long as you can wysiwyg it is fine gameplay wise. They should just add the following to the pdf: Designer's Note: Any unit that has the option to take a Land Raider Proteus Carrier as a dedicated transport may instead select a Land Raider Phobos as its dedicated transport choice.

Orange Knight Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I think the classic Mars pattern Predator looks a lot better than the Phobos variant, due to the turret shape and placement. This is just my personal opinion. I agree also, a designer's note like the one above would make perfect sense.

WrathOfTheLion Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Did they pull most of the Deimos predators down from the store? Figure we must be getting that kit sooner than later if so.

Orange Knight Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 A few of them are still up, but the existence of the Plastic Deimos Rhino guarantees that a Deimos Predator kit is on the way.

WrathOfTheLion Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Quite true, it's more a question on when do they pull the trigger and make it happen. If the kits are unavailable now, means they should be moving to a plastic kit in the near future instead of a more indeterminate time.

OttoVonAwesome Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The Arquitor and Sabre strike tank really need to come in plastic.

Especially now I can transport two on my Thunderhawk Transporter (then again I can also carry a Spartan or two Sicaran).

Gorgoff Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 Had my first game today! 2000. Quarters had to be conquered. Gained tons of knowledge. Reactions have had an impact and are a great new element. Dreadnoughts are badass, the Iron Warriors Rite of War Tyrant of Lyssatra sounds great but has too many drawbacks for my taste, Iron Hands and Iron Warriors take a bit of each other's bonuses away, krak grenades are a feasible way to deal with dreadnoughts and vehicles, Night combat is brutal (footsloggers need a vox), everything going faster let you use the whole table a lot better, units with 2 wounds are really strong, the re-balancing of all the weapons is a lot of fun and I feel like I have way too little firepower. Yep, that's about it.
