lionofjudah Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ahhhh.... If only I 'needed' moar dudes...;) however I will have a handful for my army. The special weapon dudes are great! Will have a flamer and the section sgt for sure! lOVE the volkite turret!!!!!! Would use one of those as a plas turret for my 40k army. So stoked to see the guard getting some HH love now!

CoffeeGrunt Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Oh God I need that Leman Russ, it is all the sexy. Did anyone else see the Basilisk and Medusa they teased that were built into the Leman Russ chassis as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Argos Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I think the new Infantry look great, but my favorite new Tank so far is their new Basillisk. That thing is just tops!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Very nice. I hope they'll put out some bitz packs too. Simply a set of lasguns would be great. I don't think I'll buy any of the tanks or troops for my Shrineworld garrison, but if I ever wanted some reinforcements -say a Vesuvian regiment- they'd be excellent.

Idlem Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 I've avoided Forgeworld pretty well so far, but dang it, these guys look great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Leman Russ incinerator? So presumably a flame tank? This is very cool, I hope we get a lot more Guard stuff soon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherthefallenangel Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Leman Russ incinerator? So presumably a flame tank? This is very cool, I hope we get a lot more Guard stuff soon :) The russ gun looks more like some kind of volkite cannon. Probably not the same one as the legion glave but similar.

WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Boo! I want a flamer Russ, that'd be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 You have Hellhounds, are they not enough for you? :P Volkite weaponry sounds very fun, I'm looking forward to trying it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Since I have 4 and still want to get more... I suppose not :P Would it be too much to hope for the Imperial Army to get as much attention as some of the Marine bits? It will probably take a few years though, FW is like BL when it comes to taking their time and/or milking things :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idlem Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 From what it looks like, these guys are going to be a lot like Death Korps, static models but fine details. I wouldn't count in the ability to customize them as easy as some of the 30k marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Good point, but that's been true of most FW Guard stuff so we're used to it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Guess what I found in my inbox: Solar Auxilia on sale. 20 troopers with sergeant, vox and vexilla options - finely details as you'd expect from FW so they don't seem too awful a deal. It also mentioned some blurb about them being seen as one of the best parts of the Imperial Army, but that's all so far. Of course the real question is how effective and expensive they are on the table top in 30k as that dictates how many you may need. They could work as carapace troopers in a Guard army if you're feeling flush, and I suppose even as normal Guardsmen if you're rich and/or crazy I'm wondering what other Army models they might do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionofjudah Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I'm not a super fan of the auxilia... The AFVs though had me at hello! I have suspended my HH purchases til I see more of what we have coming down the pipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Raven Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 Of course the real question is how effective and expensive they are on the table top in 30k as that dictates how many you may need. I believe they outrange legionaries with their 30" lasrifles. Seeing as they're probably 5+ saves and bolt weapons negate that, doubly so with Fury of the Legion, they're gonna need it. I hope they get Fury of the Auxilia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hopefully :P I'll never play HH I don't think so it likely won't matter to me so I can focus purely on the model aspect :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I want a russ transport or whatever it is. Looks more durable than a chimera.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeGrunt Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 It actually looks to be based off the Malcador chassis, judging by the size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldorte Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Was at Warhammer Fest and saw some of the Solar Auxilia models in the flesh, very cool looking models. May end up with a basilisk at some point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 These can go here: Solar Auxilia Dracosan Armoured Transport Solar Auxilia Tank Crew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Now these are out we can look forward to the next release - expensive tank but it sounds like it'd be effective so it probably costs a fair few points as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatmandoo Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Where are the rules though and can it be used for 40k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The rules will be out in the next Horus Heresy book (which I think it called Tempest? Conquest) as for being allowed in 40k, it is unlikely for now. Perhaps when the 30k book is released they will bring out a PDF for their use but even so, usage would be restricted in a similar way to the Relic of the Armoury vehicles that Space Marines have. Of course if your group is happy with you taking whatever you want, the above comment is moot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
