sairence Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 So, going by the table of contents in this preview, it looks like we're getting a total of 5 specialist detachments in the Vigilus book https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/12/03/3rd-dec-war-zone-vigilus-a-new-theatre-of-wargw-homepage-post-2/ The names all go back to 7th ed formations, so we probably have a fairly good idea of whay they'll be for. Mechanised Infantry, Artillery, Tanks, Mass Infantry and Scion drop troops. Which seems to have all the usual bases covered. I'm pleasantly surprised. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librisrouge Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 All of this makes me happy. Very happy. Like, might forgive the lack of inquisition stuff, happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Pretty pumped for vigilus. Cant wait to see the bonuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZakalwe Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I feel like they are making a mistake - I remember 7th and we can ill afford another Klendathu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye252 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I am excited for the formation bonuses but not for the nerds coming from CA (but that is different topic). Has anyone seen any sneak peeks at what the bonuses might be for the guard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I havent seen any leaks yet. Hoping they dont suck, lol. Perhaps a "killshot" type stratagem for leman russ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinstryfe Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Honestly, with how many cp my guard usually have, I'm really looking forward to some options, even if they don't end up being amazing. Hopefully they're not regiment linked though. That would be kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye252 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I wouldn't mind additional Mordian linked things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairence Posted December 4, 2018 Author Share Posted December 4, 2018 I think fluff-wise the old Emperor's Fist formation was a Cadian formation in 7th...but regiments didn't matter back then. Apart from the Scion-Drop Force I can't imagine them being regiment-locked. The names for the Guard ones are fairly generic, while the Space Marine ones tend to suggest specific chapters or approaches in theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 They'll probably be ways for Guard to get more command points easily ;) Could be fun, I'd also happily trade 5 CP or so for some fun rules that aren't actually any good. Not sure paying £45 for the book will be fun though, I suspect I'll pass on this unless the book is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reviler Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Book is £30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Did you guys read the vigilus short stories they posted on the community webpage? They have primaris rievers inside OUR valkyries. I wonder if we will see something allowing mixed transport capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Hopefully the book is £30, but white Dwarf says it's £45... I hear WD has been wrong before though so fingers crossed because £45 is fairly outrageous! The above comment is interesting, but since Primaris can't even go in regular Marine transports there's no way it'll be allowed in Matched play. I guess in Narrative or open you could just do whatever the hell you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairence Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 If it's in a short story I'm pretty sure it's just a bit of fluff. Can't see GW suddenly easing their strict transport rules and allowing Primaris in Guard vehicles before they can use SM ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Maybe 45 is for collector edition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris521 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 New one up https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/12/06/6th-dec-imperial-specialist-detachments-rules-previewgw-homepage-post-4/ A Leman Russ Spearhead looks even more appealing. If the conqueror doesn't get hit with a nerf, a spearhead turned into an emperor's fist filled with some conquerors, lead by a battle tank with relic cannon would be pretty strong.

Trickstick Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I may well run my command vanquisher as a relic battlecannons instead, as vanquishers are rubbish. I'm liking the field commander stratagem. A way to get the extra warlord traits without sacrificing your warlord, as well as keeping your warlord safe instead of being a huge russ target. Sounds nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noigrim Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Problem with tanks is charges so unles that's fixed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 You mean tanks getting charged? The overwatch re-roll is pretty good for that. Mordian tanks are now better at shooting when they get charged! If the book is £30 I might pick it up because these look like good, non-cheesy ways to spend some CP's. A Battle cannon that actually works is a nice bonus as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The relic battle cannon on a tank commander sounds pretty awesome Especially if your catachan or cadian with the reroll number of shots order / stratagem? I might even have to finally build mine and field it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I suspect the Tank commander is doomed if he's now dishing out orders, re-rolls to Overwatch AND has a bad-ass cannon as well. But I'd go for this with a Spearhead I would think, unless some of the other detachments seem better / more fun. I still want my Brigade after all! I hope there's a Rough Rider focused one with conversions from the new Genestealer bikes in mind! Fat chance of that mind you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
