01RTB01 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 11 minutes ago, Matcap86 said: Great models overall. The only (minor) nitpick I have is that everything is in Mk6 armour. Would've liked some more variation to show their Veterans of the Long War status. (Also I don't like that Mk6 has become the default HH mark). It's not the default mark but the fluff "recently" had it that EC had a preference for mkvi. Considering how bland mkvi is there's plenty ornamentation here and evidence of 10,000 years of party and excess. Thousand sons are in mkiv, death guard mkiii and unsure on world eaters. However, it does mean each god legion as a different mk of armour for preference. The base marines honestly I love. Two army boxes to start and then add the CP and fulgrim later. I've got enough heresy vehicles they can borrow if I want to play 40k but failing that, heresy they'll be in.

Jukkiz Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Don´t know what bothers me on lucius really, maybe it´s the lack of tormented souls on his armor. Now he looks more like excited night lord more then lore lucius. Old one atleast had couple faces on its armor Edit, added pic Edited January 17 by Jukkiz Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/49/#findComment-6087930 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheArtilleryman Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Not into EC but this is a very good set. Unlike some other sets, most notably Krieg, if you pick this up you get a proper useable force with quite a lot of models actually and seems very good value. There’s something off when an imperial guard army set has less models than a space marine one. On the models themselves, they are well done I think. Only thing that seems a bit odd to me is how skinny they are. They seem to be modelled with the HH MkVI guys as a base, but for 40K they seem a bit thin compared to other newer marines. Maybe they want them to look very different to DG which I get but I’d still have bulked them out a little. Lucius is excellent. Not enough to change my mind about them or Slaanesh in general as a faction but I’m really pleased for those of you who have been waiting for this. One of the most solid launches of any in 10th I’d say.

INKS Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Gosh dang it. I really need to resist. So Angron took a beating every single time vs Fulgrim, that is concerning rules wise. I fear he'll be over powered. then nerfed. hope not the models look awesome you have new scouts like the votann but better? noise marines are good vs? new 8 bound? ish. Tormentor kit? new battle line? was that right? between army and cp that is 30 of them seems like a lot. maybe not Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/49/#findComment-6087937 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthous Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think that Champions of Slaanesh box is a great compromise on the Noise Marines v. Legionaries debate.

Maschinenpriester Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hmm so no Terminators to be seen. Is the phoenix guard unemployed now? So I am wondering in general what will be usable from my current CSM collection. Land Raiders and rhinos are visible. Which means probably Vindicators and Predators are available too. Possesd could be used as proxys for the EC possed, and legionaries could be proxies for the EC legionaries. Noise marines remain noise marines at least. The new range looks awesome, and I think they really nailed it! I just don't see me buying a whole new army after owning and collecting CSM EC since a long time. Any more thoughts on this?

Minuros Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I really loved these, they are everything I hoped for my EC. I hope my old noise marines don't look silly next to them. I am a bit worried if I can get the Champions of Slaanesh set, it looks like it will sell out in minutes...

Hathor42 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So ruleswise I think it's caught most of it. Fulgrim can give out always strikes first? Kakophonist giving noise marines sustained hits. Tormentors (ranged) have OC2 sticky objectives and infiltrators. Infractors (close combat) have move7, scout and precision on their swords. Noisemarines get 2 blastmasters in a unit now.

There are Terminators visible. As for the Phoenix Guard, the late(r) Heresy Legiones Hereticus rules have this to say, so yeah they're basically unemployed after Fulgrim ascends Quote With Fulgrim assuming his immortal form, many of his personal retinue found their role redundant Many relinquished some or all of their ceremonial wargear, instead taking up other roles within the Legion, while the remainder instead sought to prove their worth anew in the eyes of their brethren and their beloved Primarch.

No reason why we can't get special terminators at some point down the road along with things like sonic dreadnoughts etc, so there's still hope! It is a pity, but we were never going to get all of the possible goodies in a release this size, and I'm just glad they've smashed it out of the park skylerboodie, LSM and INKS 1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/49/#findComment-6087966 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Golem Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I think I pretty much love everything except the Noise Marines. They’re not bad models, but I thought they’d be the unit you’d look at and think ‘man, the EC are really messed up, huh?’ But they look more ‘normal’ than even the HH Kakophani. Just Marines with big guns and backpacks. They’re not far off the Havocs, looks wise.
