40k First Founding Champions (03/09 - Lysander & Shaan Datasheets + Detachments Live)

I was looking at the Vulkan datasheet download again, and it got stealth updated to still be D6+3 shots. Pretty mighty range weapon.

85 PTS is pretty insane for Shaan, definitely some RG loving going on. Am I right in thinking he has no way to join a unit?

Yep, he’s a loner.

And he's one of the best loaners.

 

Perfect combination of rules, and he can really harass an opponent if used well.

NZ pre-orders are up for those who wanted to see the new transfer sheets.

 

Well, except that the Imperial Fists Combat Patrol isn't listed, for some reason.

 

Ironically, the sneaky guys are right where they're expected to be:

Imperial fist patrol found its way to the store. And another gorgeous addition to the array of transfer sheets available. Especially with the addition of Crimson Fists, or rather, the addition of successor chapters to transfer sheets in general.

 

Also, while generally less useable for anyone else on average the Salamanders sheet has some nice additions in the form of golden veteran markings, lines of text, and campaign badges, though sadly they omit any successors. (Though Covenant of Fire icons can be found in the Chaos Marine Sheet, weird that)

They should sell all those transfer sheets on their own, as a regular product, even if it's just online only direct from GW like the HH sheets.

This. 

They would make a pretty penny but I guess it's better to force people to pay stupid prices on ebay and such or buy an entire box of miniature you don't need?

Definitely hope there's another way to get those transfers down the line. How many Company Heroes kits does a Fists player need? Or how many copies of Suboden Khan will a White Scars player want?

 

As for the Fists Combat Patrol, that's still not up on the New Zealand site, so I assume it's yet another supply issue that I missed the announcement for.

 

I also didn't realize that the space given over to the Knights of the Raven on the RG transfer sheet is actually a little bit of a trojan horse. For those players who still go with the white shoulder pauldrons for veterans, that "successor chapter" section is where they'll be able to source all of their black chapter icons.

 

I also remember thinking it was weird that Raven Guard were frozen out of getting Scout iconography when the Kill Team set dropped even though they were being used as the exemplar chapter. I guess anyone who followed the suggestion to stick squad markings on the shoulder instead (even though it made zero sense with the current 10th company setup for a Scout Squad to be 7th squad) can now peel those off and replace them with the proper Scout markings they should have had all along.
