Lord Marshal Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Ft. Shattered Legions and Blackshields. Quote There’s still more! Legendary heroes from the campaign get all-new rules, such as Little Horus Aximand, Tybalt Marr, Shadrak Meduson, and Endryd Haar – a real treat for those who followed the events of Beta-Garmon through the Black Library series. Then there are rules for the Aethon Heavy Sentinel – revealed at the recent online preview – along with a few more treats for the Solar Auxilia.* Edited January 25 by Lord Marshal Loquille, WrathOfTheLion, Doghouse and 3 others 3 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Hey, my guess was spot on. Thought that BA upgrade was a bit eyebrow raising. I bet some of the volkite pistols, thunder hammers, etc. in the blackshields unit are from the melee upgrade sprue that's on the roadmap.

darkhorse0607 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The BA in that photo reminds me of snuffleupagus Fingers crossed the characters that will now have rules in that book end up getting models down the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrathOfTheLion Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just now, Joe said: I for one welcome yet more Sons of Horus models. It is better than any other Legion being in the same spot, to be fair. Little Horus getting a model will likely be less contentious than <insert random new character>. Noserenda 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no, I said that without any irony; as a Sons of Horus player for twelve years we can never have enough models.

Doghouse Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 That shattered Legions has my interest now, that'd be a fantastic modelling opportunity. I think I need to get this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Sick, Shattered Legions and Blackshields are both really cool, and looking forward to the character models, they’ve mostly been good to great of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solar Auxilia might just end up coming in the kits, like they did with Knight houses. Given the blackshield image, I suspect they might get a new one, but not sure.

LSM Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Wasn't there a rumour kicking around (Valrak's?) about Shadrak Meduson getting a model? Deus_Ex_Machina and skylerboodie 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apologist Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Nice to see two charismatic forces – Shattered Legions and Blackshields – get some dedicated attention. I'll cross my fingers that it means we see some more characters/releases for the Iron Hands, Raven Guard and especially the Salamanders. While I'm more into Epic scale at the moment, I don't begrudge the 40k-scale releases. I wonder if we'll see an alternative Sanguinius model alongside this? He was the most prominent Primarch active in the field in this campaign, and would be a good excuse.

I haven’t seen the transfer on those Blackshields’ chests before; perhaps a new transfer sheet will be released? edit - pauldron transfer looks new to me as well Edited January 25 by Shovellovin WrathOfTheLion 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sitnam Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 If Iron Hands are getting some love, here's to hoping Autek Mor gets a miniature release. He's pretty much the coolest IH character for me Fire Golem and quasistellar 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoriyaSchism Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 We are getting Blackshields a little sooner than expected. I expect to see some of the old art return and I hope they'll retain some of the interesting options Blackshields have like the Xenos Deathlocks, Pariah equipment and weapons usually used by mortal troops.

SkimaskMohawk Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I'm happy that blackshields are becoming playable again after...close to 2 years on ice, though I'm also concerned with the options getting gutted after what happened to daemons. I'm also a bit worried about shattered legions. Back in 2016, the leaks made them sound like they'd break the game until the campaign/narrative only line was discovered. Hoping they'll stay in that area, because they've fumbled the rules ball so often in this edition; either they'll be junk like the corrupted EC, or be dreadnought tier if allowed in standard. Also lmao on the delay to the already delayed expansion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
