That's a good shout, I think I might do the same. Pop an EC head on this guy and put the demon face on one of my SoH.

Gw just toying with us now…. Look at this model…. It’s a traitor… is chaos … it has a whip…. SIKE 

[WrathOfTheLion]

Assuming they keep a Chaos Lord on foot in the Codex... Sad WE face :(

[DeadFingers]

Y'all made me think I'd somehow clicked on the wrong thread. Went back to the news and rumours hub and everything.

If they keep the Lord of Execution in the EC codex, I can see him as one

They’ll have the ec Lord which will be our version of a generic Lord , so you will be able to mix them up for sure

I hope instead of the master of executions we get the master of possessions and also get possessed , seems for fitting

I genuinely hope that the 10th Ed releases for the Cult legions round out what stuff we get from base CSM properly, tho that probably won't happen.

 

TSons could do with the MoP and the Dark Commune imo.

DG can get the MoE, they're more of a cqc army anyway.

 

EC should 100% also have the MoP and access to Possessed.

 

Edit: WE also need the Chaos Lord (if they're not getting a unique one) and the Vindicator. There's no real reason they shouldn't have either of those imo.

Everyone knows it's harder to operate a vehicle vs getting all your boys together to chant an exact number of demons to possess one of your other boys.

You will convert another MoE and you will like it!

 

At least until we finally get those secretive berzerker surgeons.

 

Speaking of Surgeons; EC would be prime candidates for apothecaries/fabius copycats. Maybe in 11th.

It's specifically harder to operate a Sturmpanzer apparently because it's only the Vindicator that WE can't take.

 

Edit:

Back on topic for EC tho, I wonder if they'll get regular Cultists or not?

They probably will , just so gw can justify the not super huge range refresh and just flesh a codex out with generic stuff 

[LSM]

If Valrak's rumours are true (and at this point...) and there are no custom Cultists, then I think the generic ones are a lock. Likewise, borrowed CSM Terminators.

 

I'll ~third the hope that EC get Masters of Possession; the rumoured "Swordmasters" sound like custom Possessed though, so I'd doubt that the CSM ones are accessible. 

[Macidious]

Look… i know Fabius bile isn’t officially ec anymore but in the lore he has worked with all chaos , including warbands of emperors children, would be cool if maybe he’d be usable for his ol legion (this is a selfish take because I want to get a bile model) 

[Indy Techwisp]

...y'know, I have no clue where to start a thread for something like this, but I think 40k would benefit from AoS style "Regiments of Renown".

Maybe not now in 10th, but maybe 11th.

 

Just a very simple "Here's how you take allies." thing that can be balanced independently of the actual faction you're taking the allies from.

 

For EC (and the Cult Legions) specifically, a system like that would allow CSM a way to borrow some of our Cult Marines without those borrowed Marines affecting their points in our armies.

 

I can forsee a situation where EC Legionnaires and/or Noise Marines end up way overcosted for a while after launch because they somehow massively overperform in Base CSM.

Of course they’ll start solid, gotta get us to buy them, I mean even if they suck I’ll stick buy them I want all the new models , if the rest of the army is as stunning as the new fulgrim we’ve won

The power of allies in 8th was hardly the problem vs how easily you could find the imbalanced units. Even if they were just the "Loyal 32", Infantry were actually REALLY good.

I mean more specifically stuff like how part of the reason the points of Rubrics are exorbitant currently is because they're really good in CSM, so we have to eat a points penalty because of it.

 

I can forsee a situation like that occurring with Noise Marines/EC Legionnaires.

Had a bit of an itch, an itch that said "but what if Fulgrim is on a 130mm to accomodate his coiled noodly butt". So I did a quick mockup to see what that'd look like.

 

 

For comparison's sake, here's the previous picture assuming he's on a 100mm like the rest of his brethren.

 

 

Both are reasonable methinks. 130mm puts him closer to his brothers, but it does make him significantly bigger than his Transfigured self, who is also on a 100mm. I think I prefer the latter, him being the smaller and sleeker of the bunch feels adequate. Although snake bits aside, he still is that on the 130mm mockup, really.

i did think when I did a scaling of fulgrim that he looks quite small compared to the others but if you look from the side he is like leaning and arching forward so that’s probably why he’s so small compared to the others that are on rocks or are standing tall 

 

I mean if he’s on 130mm the bigger the better but I don’t see them breaking the 100mm formula

In fairness, if you see pics of fulgrim Transfigured next to angron, he is very lithe compared to the chunk of his grumpy brother. Regardless of pose, he is slim.

Yeah true , sadly with every question we now ask in here the answer is “well just have to wait and see” lol

[Ming the Merciless]

So if Fulgrim is smaller than the other Daemon Primarchs, the model will be cheaper...... right?
