jbaeza94 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I just don’t like the cloak. Looks too wide imo. Hopefully it’s optional Interrogator Stobz 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helias_Tancred Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Now I'm very eager to see his rules! I'm going to guess he is more king beatstick and less buffstick? Mike8404 and Karhedron 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillyfish Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Lovely model. I haven't bought any 40k in years having gone back to my first love of Epic (well, Titanicus). But I think I will pick this up. Karhedron, glad it's not just me who thought he looked like Charles Dance. :D Interrogator Stobz and Karhedron 1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is supported by the baton, held by a Watcher, which would indicate that the Lion is the Field-Marshal of Imperium Nihilus.

I think (and I say this as a BA fan) he would have far more natural ability to be a regent than Dante. Well wait… It may make sense because that would essentially make him warmaster, which is something he wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wraithwing Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) My first ever army were Dark Angels. I loved the lore in Codex Angels of Death about the Lion being alseep deep in the Rock. My first ever named character I purchased was Azrael. My username is inspired by some fluff I came up with for a secret Wing of Dark Angels dedicated to hunting the fallen as solo agents for the Inquisitor game. I have waited for this for a very long time!

9x19 Parabellum Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Ok so....after a heated debate with my buddy, we made a bet. I bet $10 that Lion would have the same Primarch aura buff that RG has , ie, this: But none of the other aura buffs he has that affect either his chapter or imperium at large. His argument was that, Lion being a "beatstick" and RG being the "master commander", that Lion would not have the Primarch Aura buff. My argument was that it's everything else that RG gets, ie, this stuff, circled in green.... ...is what makes him (RG) the "master commander" of the Imperium. My interpretation is that the Primarch Aura is very clearly a gift that any Loyalist Primarch will get by virtue of being a Primarch, and having that gift bestowed upon them by the Emperor as one of his direct sons. What do you guys think? Edited March 29, 2023 by 9x19 Parabellum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UtariOnzo Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 He’ll absolutely get a Primarch aura for Dark Angels and Successors, especially considering the traitors get theirs, it’s a total given. Being a beat stick does not preclude a Primarch from also giving legion specific buffs. The real question will be if he’ll have his other rules dedicated to combat, if you can maybe field fallen with him and get the Primarch buffs (since the novel hints that he’ll call upon some of the fallen to help him) and what form those rules will take. I don’t see him getting anything like RG’s Imperium wide command buffs/auras since Lion’s focus seems to be as an avenging Knight, so outside of his legion buff I think he’ll be mostly tailored to damage dealing and hot/wound rerolls.

Tacitus Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 Yes he will get some sort of Primarch Aura. It may not be an exact copy of G's. G's is an upscaled Chapter Master Aura, while the other Primarchs had a more tailored aura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 As we can see he is not a huge beat stick and has obviously grown older and wiser, I think he will get plenty of Leadership buffs... ...unless his full rules are already out and I've missed them...

Tacitus Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Not his full rules, but enough to know he's aboslutely a beatstick. There are few models that can solo a 20 mob of grots/boys.

Karhedron Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 He can also comfortably solo a terminator squad which is no small feat. Plus he can do all that killing while benefitting from Character protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
