Possible Ferrus Manus and Legion Of The Damned release?

[HeadlessCross]

Valrak did a video. Here's the handy dandy link:

 

And here's the important bit from said video. It's important to note that the LD1+ either proves it's a fake OR it's real (they had the USR Fearless in all their incarnations).

Obvious fake

Well outside the LD1+, I'd love to hear your reasoning!

[Scribe]

Eww. Please no.

[Shinespider]

It doesn't look obviously fake, but that's only because a statline is literally the easiest thing in the world to make look convincing. Anyone can put one of these together, they're idiot-proof. 

[ThaneOfTas]

If I were on my computer at home I could whip up an equally authentic looking fake of The Emperor Reborn's statline. It's by a wide margin the easiest part to fake.

 

I would love to see the Legion of the Damned come back with plastic kits though

Agree.

 

They have so much they can do, like @ThaneOfTas said even a plastic kit for the LotD would be great.

But please leave the dead Primarchs alone.

At least them.

Any more primarch kills you'd like to rob my boy Fulgrim of GW? 

[firestorm40k]

Obviously fake, because the resolution of the names is different to that of the stats (bigger text is clearer than the smaller). 

 

This is just some trolling, just as GW bringing back Ferrus Manus before Primarchs that are known to actually be alive would be the ultimate troll

They can bring back Dorn so they can show off someone who best Fulgrim in a fair fight too I guess.

-Easy to fake in the 1st place.

-Different resolutions in the same image.

-Obviously wrong statline.

-Historically models leak long before new rules do.

 

So yes. It's an obvious fake.

I'd love to hear your reasoning about why you'd think it's NOT a fake? lol

I agree it likely isn't real, but the only real point you have as evidence is the seemingly different resolutions and I think the text for the unit name is slightly wonky.

 

Easy to fake doesn't help as evidence because obviously the layout is so standardised it could be real or fake and look the same.

 

Models leak first? Again, anecdotal and not always true. We tend to get plenty of leaks for new edition rulesets and the like before we ever see a mini. 

 

Obviously wrong stat line? Do you have the genuine one? How would you decree it obviously wrong other than a subjective feeling.

I'm sure this will be released alongside Sanguinius Reborn, Horus Reborn, and Fulgrim's Clone. 

 

This is basically textbook 'how to fake a rumour' image editing. Pretty obvious fake

1+ Leadership

 

There are no 1+ guaranteed rolls in 40k, and GW wouldn't create a leadership test like this. Take a look at every other model and unit in the game.

 

[Borbarad]

Perfect halloween release 

[Jukkiz]

if they make LOTD please don´t just make them primaris... 

I don´t want to see every new kit being primaris in 40k line if it´s space marine

And those saying: " Oh but primaris marines can propably be in lotd "  I don´t deny that, i just don´t want focus on being in just primarinades.

Even if it were a real stat due to special rule, it would be a - symbol like movement for fortifications. 

[Kyari]

The Legion of the Damned's Legends sheet is already so cool. 

[sitnam]

I know this isn't real, but I want it to be so bad. The salt from bringing back Ferris would cure mega-tons of bacon.

Yeah I agree. They'd have to make it a special rule as the 1+ leadership really flies in the face of the rules of 10th edition.

Combined with this, anyone who plays the current edition should be very skeptical just based on expectations for datasheets.

A 1+ is still subject to modifiers and there are armies that can stack -2 or more for LD. There are things that require a LD to interact with even if they had a rule of "can never be battle shocked" so it wouldn't be a dash either.

 

Again, it's very probably fake, but there's no reason they can't make this stat line if they wanted and it doesn't require bending over backwards to make it work or make sense.

 

What I think you mean is it would be unusual and they haven't made a 1+ yet. Which means it's unlikely to be true but not a silver bullet.

You say "best" I say, "got bored" :)

[TheVoidDragon]

To me, outside of just how simple and easy something like this would be to do, the biggest thing that indicates it's a fake is the whole idea in the first place. It's linking Ferrus Manus with the Legion of the Damned, because in one of the Horus Heresy novels there's a scene of fiery ghosts of Space Marines alongside Ferrus that many have assumed to be them....but that being the Legion of the Damned is entirely a fan theory that the author has said that is not what was intended, and even said it doesn't come across like that to him.

 

Like so many other bits of that lore, that (incorrect) claim has then been parroted without question so much that many think it's actually meant to be a thing.

1+ Leadership could work like how a 1+ save worked in WHFB; effectively a 2+ but with a bonus against modifiers (so Ld -1 modifiers effectively do nothing).

 

That said, assuming this is real?

NO NO NO NO NO. WE ARE NOT BRINGING FERRUS MANUS BACK. NO. BAD GW. BAD. GO TO YOUR ROOM WITH NO PUDDING AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

 

...Ahem.

 

New LOTD would be nice though. The 2010 metals were really cool models, those but bigger and in plastic would be a winner.

Jeff Goldblum will have to say “well, there it isn’t.”
