New Templar Codex Supplement

[Kilamandaros]

Yea the Land Raider detachment is definitely the highlight of the 3, some great stratagems and enhancements and very thematic - the other 2 much less so.

 

Terminators & Sternguard look much much worse than regular versions (and termies were not great to begin with) but our LRC looks amazing as long as it keeps the assault ramp as well - it's actually way better than the Razorback as it's until the end of the turn not phase, which is fantastic, especially with the buffs in the transport detachment.

Do we think it'll be these 3 'new' detachments plus Righteous Crusaders & Wrathful Procession, or they likely to be removed enitrely? Obviously RC would need a total rework with vows replacing OoM. Perhaps just Wrathful Procession will be kept...

 

Just FYI on this, I've discovered that all the grotmas detachments are still available to use, even when a new codex comes out - so Wrathful Procession is still available for BT use, where Righteous Crusaders obviously isn't.

Now there are pictures of our specific units over on Reddit and it corroborates what Dorn of War leaked yesterday, Sword Brethren are looking really good imo as their chainswords have sustained hits and all the power weapons are mastercrafted so they are all lethal hits and damage 2 but oddly enough there is no longer a Castellan or a combi weapon in the unit so now those bits are just to make an extra Castellan to potentially lead a 4 man SB sqsuad if you wish.

 

A 10 man SB squad with a Marshall is just going to wreck face.

Sad Crusaders & Sword Brothers lost an attack, though guess that was the sacrifice to get sustained/lethal. Still feel like Bladeguard with a Lieutenant will be better than SBs as much more resilient (admittedly less so now without FNP) and have more attacks per model.

Im not too happy about the Sword Brethren change. They are worse than bladeguard on their own. Only thing that makes them good is adding two characters which think is a bit sad. They will now either have to be too cheap to feel like an elite unit or they will be too expensive to be usefull.

And that is only talking offensive. Defensive they are like glass. Especially with no AoC.

 

I think Helbrect may be better with crusaders. Add a Lieutenant for lethals and sustained. But then again it might be better to switch Helbrecht for a regular Marshal for the 5+ crits

Still digesting the rules changes but got my boys out and looking to paint up some of the units needing the white and red. One gripe, would it really have hurt GW to have put the codex and cards in a box set with the two new characters and say a crusader squad and LRR? Seeing as almost every faction (including all other divergent chapters) got one it’s a bit frustrating. 

[Sir Clausel]

I for one am happy that they didnt release a army box. Because thrn you would have to wait for the real release to get points updates and such. 

Maybe im biased since i have a huge army but most of the time the boxes are filled with units you already have plenty of plus the new ones.

Completely forgot I should preorder quickly today, so missed the window on the special cover codex. Just as well really, too expensive for a book that wont last long.

 

Ordered 2 ancients and 1 execrator, trying the option of picking 'em in a warhammer store, since I actually have one nearish now. Plan is to grab mr. Centos at the same time.

[Medjugorje]

I ordered 3 Exocrators, 3 Ancients, 2 Repulsors Execuctioners and 1 Repulsor and of course the C:Supp

[Sir Clausel]

I just ordered one of each. Have already converted an Execrator already and dont plan to use more than one Crusader Ancient. But i might get more later because of all the gourmet bits!

[Medjugorje]

I want everyhting if I want to play a list so that I could play it.
