TrawlingCleaner Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The Legends rules have been updated: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/jeUu1qy1uTAxb3tF.pdf Jump packs are definitely on there ( at the bottom) both Lords and Sorcerers. There's also the Combi weapons they lost access to. They've also updated the rules for the other characters on here. Interestingly Mutilators aren't on here either... So I'm not sure where they've gone! Guzzlrr, lansalt, Dr_Ruminahui and 3 others 4 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand_Master_Alpharius Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 This is very disheeartening, means the likelihood of getting them back is pretty 0, sad face all round. Bulwyf 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maschinenpriester Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) If I understand correctly. This solves the wargear restrictions for HQs. But the datasheets of several units strictly regulate what can be taken in which quantity which leads to the invalidating of several models in people's collections. (Including mine) This has not been addressed correct? I assume mutilators could be a standing for possessed now as they are on a 40 mm base? O.o Edited July 19, 2022 by Maschinenpriester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm just glad my Chaos Lord with Jump Pack for my World Eaters is back, as is my Night Lords. Because that was DUMB that the Night Lords had a relic that only the Daemon Prince could take That being said, my Night Lords Chaos Marines Legionaires are still "illegal" in that my Champions have Combi-Bolters....

Iron Father Ferrum Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Illegality only counts in Matched Play, really. You have some wiggle room. Khornestar and Slave to Darkness 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that Combi-Bolters flat-out don't exist as wargear options for anyone anymore outside of Helbrutes and vehicles' pintle mounts Edited July 19, 2022 by Gederas Maschinenpriester 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lansalt Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The missing options in Chosen (I'd like to use them for 30k TSS melta/plasma squads) and CSM aspiring champions are really dissapointing and make no sense.

Toldavf Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 They tossed us a pointless bone, "you can use old models in friendly games" I could anyway. Clipped a pile of options and gave us this in return. Disgusting. tychobi, Surreal Cruelty, Bulwyf and 7 others 8 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 (edited) This is good. Legends units are legal everywhere that doesn't specifically exclude them, and this fixes a good number of the problems people had with missing options. I still have some 'illegal' aspiring champion models, but at least this fixes three of my Jump Lords and brings my Juggernaut Lord back in line. (Edit: also makes one of my Exalted Champions legal again.) 2 hours ago, Toldavf said: They tossed us a pointless bone, "you can use old models in friendly games" I could anyway. Clipped a pile of options and gave us this in return. Disgusting. Yes, but it's a lot easier to ask a rando if you can use Legends than to ask them if you can use homebrew. Edit: hilariously, you can now take a Terminator Lord with two chainfists. Sounds like a great option for EC with a Daemon Weapon...

Bulwyf Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I hate this means we will never get these options back again but at least you can use them for friendly games. My NL chaos lord with jump pack flies again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squike Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 This seems very strange to me, normally isn't it the case that if you have a unit that is in legends and codex, you have to use the whole datasheet, and the legends isn't just extra wargear? I seem to remember when they updated the stat lines for a load of SM stuff things like Calgar had a full legends datasheet and then the new one. This makes me think that whoever wrote the codex just looked at the GW website chaos model range for the datasheet wargear and didn't look at any of the previous codex from the past 20+ years for inspiration..... and now they are covering their ass by shoe horning it in somewhere else...

It's not without precedent; the Sonic Dreadnought from Forgeworld is just an expanded weapon option for the existing Helbrute datasheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrawlingCleaner Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 This is also the case for SM Dreadnoughts to take Autocannons and Death Guard Lord and Sorcerers Jump Packs (I'm sure its the case for others too, I just looked at these two Legends sheets) The Craftworlds Autarch on foot had all of it's options removed with Legends at the start of 8th Edition. They now have many options with a new kit for both the foot model and the Winged model. There's currently only 1 power armoured Chaos Lord model sold by GW (Not counting the Finecast NL model), which also has a fixed loadout. For me, it's very reasonable to assume that another Lord kit is coming at some point it's just more of a "When" rather than an "If".

I just don’t see the point in invalidating peoples old models or limiting customisation/cool conversions. especially if they are just going to add it back in down the line if a newer Lord kit with all the options back is produced… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only provide wargear options after the model/s with those options are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Just couldn’t let the juggerlord keep S5 for some reason *rolls eyes*. Nice to have an updated profile, but pretending there is some logic or attempt at balance is a bit strange. That pip of strength was just too much, eh? Dominating all the casual legends games at S10 with a fist, was he? Still, makes it more likely they will see play in friendly settings. The wounds and attacks being low kept me from doing so before. I’ll definitely play him at some point now. Edited July 21, 2022 by Khornestar Iron Father Ferrum 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably legit, it will probably be in line with all the Primaris releases though and pretty much have no wiggle room for options, an example of that is the new Sorcerer model.
