TBF I never used that model for Heresy, I just remodeled it into Lias Issodon. I do wish they still made that though, it was a lovely sculpt.

I have the Munitorum Field Manual. All points of FW characters without a model are gone, so that's Legends from now on. Most of the Badab characters didn't have a model to begin with, so that was just a question of when it would happen, not if. Thought so. How are people going to be running a similar character in the mean time? I currently have two plans in motion: Regular Captain (Chapter Master strategem) with MC Boltgun, Relic Blade and Armour of Shadows for a more Close quarters themed Lias, with a bonus to not being hit. Primaris Captain (Chapter Master strategem) with Ex Tenebris, Powersword for a more ranged sniper similar to how he played before. Both would be decent enough options, especially with 9th Ed rewarding aggressive play. Both also would use Master of Ambush as the warlord trait of course. However my army is Badab War themed, so running a primaris feels odd.

So as a double check, has Lias Issodon be fully confirmed yet to have been moved to Legends? There doesnt seem to be any concrete information about it.

Ah yes sorry, still getting up to speed really on 9th

I think both vehicles and infantry both get the -1 to hit, just the Infantry are the only ones able to get the +1 to saves. I wont lie, I am interested in if they have custom chapter traits still. I would prefer to use that than the Raven Guard one like I did before.

My current idea for a Close combat variant Riptide, exclusive to the Enclaves. Its still used primarily as a mid range fire platform, but has the capability to throw back enemy heavy CC units such as Dreadnoughts and the like. Its something I could see the Enclaves doing with their focus on CQC warfare.

Shas'O Vior'la Shovah Kais Mont'yr. You may know him better as Farsight XD I did upgrade his armour a bit however ;)

You have no idea how much you are making me want to build a quick and dirty 1000pts Titanfall themed force now. I have my basic tau, my 'Frontier Force'. I now need a Titanfall squad. GDI XD

I will be biased and say Raptors. And you definitely can do a mechanised infantry raptors force, its actually how I play mine. Combined arms and flexibility is the Raptor way!

No, its a special rule. His Warlord Trait would be the Raven Guard one. Warlord traits are the one thing successors don't get forced on them actually. Stratagems and CT each have rules specific text that grants their successor access to them. There isn't a blanket successor rule. The warlord trait rules for named characters make it so must match their current chapter from the table if possible; Raptors isn't there and that's why Crimson Fists/Black Templar have their own while other successors don't. If there was a specific Raptors WLT Issodon would have to take it. It makes sense since not ever successor is just a reskinned version of their parent chapter. Raptors for example are more range-oriented. *Cue manical laughter*
