Medjugorje Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 You guys are reading too much into senescal, it's a Castelan or Lt. confirmed? Valrak said its a Marshal for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Rumor was that it was unique castellan earlier. Later it was corrected that it'd be unique Marshal, and then we saw these rumors translated from french. The take away is that it's probably a unique Marshal in the launch box.

Sete Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 GW did not invent a new rank for BT, thats my point. I meant castelan or marshall in my last post.

Old-Four-Arms Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Another aesthetics question : do the Neophytes have standard bolt guns (hope) or another new variant of bolt rifle (dread) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Brethren have capes Crusade Squads have belly tabards. awesome.... Real KNIGHTish capes. Another question. Is that Ancient just a BT specific model ( but not uniqe as sheet for the rules) or is it a new special character like Helbrecht and Grimaldus?

Brother Carpenter Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Wow. Im hyped. This might just be the thing to rekindle me playing the game instead of just painting. The only bone ive got is the id hoped for totally mixed crusader squads. But in hindsight. Primaris don't know how to board a lrc and initiates don't know where to board a primaris transport. So you'd have a portion of your squad running alongside the transport Edited August 15, 2021 by Brother Carpenter TheOneTrueZon 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sword Brother Adelard Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I'd have thought belly tabards was 'probably' the same thing the Champion and all the Indomitus characters have, not old school apron style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I mean those are aprons too, they just go under the the top chest plate, its the lack of having a back that makes any of them not actually a tabard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freypal Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I could see them being the same as the Indomitus and EC versions so as to create a unified theme with a lot of the newest sculpts. It would certainly allow things like BGV and the Indomitus characters to blend in better. Guess we will find out soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Reinhard Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Almost makes me wonder if the blade guard were originally meant to be a unique unit for us, but some exec saw the initial sketches and were like "Nah, let's make that available to everyone" Almost.

Sarvis Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Yeah pretty sure belly tabard refers to the same ones BGVs have RedFox 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dienekes96 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I am hopeful the Sword Brethren Kit keeps the unique left shoulder plate with the elongated and stylized Templar cross. The metal/fine cast leader and lightning claw guy had the plate. I always liked that plate. Trignama and Sarvis 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punchomatic Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I love those old tiny sword bros. I have a complete unbuilt set I need to work on. Great models. Best ‘stache game in the imperium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acebaur Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 That launch box sound a bit underwhelming, hoping for a least cool a new special edition cover for the supplement. If I get it I'll try selling the redemptor to mitigate the cost as I already have a venerable dread, a chaplain dread and a leviathan in my Black Templars army Also question for Valdrak do you know the exact content of the combat patrol box? also is there any models that are exclusive to the launch box? thanks. Hold up. Are BT fans already unhappy with their releases? The Redemptor could have unique BT upgrades or options, can't be written off yet. And it's a fantastic unit anyway. Yeah the Redemptor is a great unit, but I don't want it in my chapter's exclusive launch box. And if that's the case we have every right to be disappointed when orks and sisters got nearly double the models that this is supposed to be that were all brand new sculpts. Jamming an existing kit in there is BS. Now if it's actually the Combat patrol box, then that's fine, but it has no business being a in a BT launch box Eberious, Gederas, Marshal Loss and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I could be entirely wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokugawa Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Why ya fink a lauch box(£120, books included) would contain much more models than a combat partol(£85, only models)?
