synthaside Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well , if you give the dominus the relic to give her an extra D6 extra -1 ap attacks that reroll failed wounds.She can actually be a bit of a demoness in combat , with a 2up save , 5+ invuln and 5 wounds especially if you are in one of the more combat aligned canticles .Mine systematically murdered a large pack of Blood claws ... chainswords bouncing off her amoured hide and what scratches were done to her were healed by her D3 regen the omhnissian axe has the stopping power to kill even primaris boys , Just watch out for those power weapons.

Battybattybats Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The new techpriest is up for preorder next week, in the kill team box with infiltrators and a ryza ruins sprue. No word yet if the 40k rules will be in the box with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I imagine they will throw his data card up on the community site for 40k. I like the ruins and will probably buy the kill Team expand map for more of the terrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clingy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I know he likely won’t have a reroll wounds aura but imagine if it did...what a game changer that would be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have 15 Ruststalkers and 10 Infiltrators already... hopefully the 360° shot will suck and I dont need this box. More likely: I have to buy the box to get the Priest without knowing what to do with the Sicarians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I have 15 Ruststalkers and 10 Infiltrators already... hopefully the 360° shot will suck and I dont need this box. Not an option for me, I'll directly preorder. Already found someone for the useless ruins, just the infiltrators will end up on the pile of shame for the foreseeable future. Even if that dude doesn't look perfect out of the box, some conversion will make it work. And the second weapon option will end up at a spare dominus, to get 2 manipulii from one sprue.

Black Knight Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 The 40k/Killteam rules will determine if I buy this. It's also going to be a juggling act as my Killteam is Stygies and the part of my main army I would probably use this HQ in is Mars. Need an Unboxing!

PiñaColada Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 £40 isn't bad if you can get some mileage out of the sicarians! Personally I don't have enough space at home to start really collecting terrain but the the rest of the contents are tempting. Hopefully they keep this box in stock for a while since I have a bit too much in the backlog as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Well, it is expensive as soon as you only want the Tech Priest... seems I will skip this for now. I have some other Tech Priests I can use as "counts as". Maybe he will get a solo release at a later stage or I am as lucky as MajorNese and can find someone to share the box with. Edit: Nevermind, got him on ebay as preorder for ~ 22 GBP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

synthaside Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm actually not to annoyed i was looking at getting another 5 Infiltrators , my consistently perform on turn 3 for some warlord assassination I try to kill surrounding units near a backline warlord and jump them in ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I'm actually not to annoyed i was looking at getting another 5 Infiltrators , my consistently perform on turn 3 for some warlord assassination I try to kill surrounding units near a backline warlord and jump them in ;-) Funny you say that. I just bagged a Tau warlord last night, literally with my Infiltrators. I don't need anymore, but I figure Russtalkers will come back into the light someday soon, hopefully.

Charlo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Got no interest in Kill Team (played both it and Necromunda and 'munda wins out for sure) and if I get the 5 Sicarians I'll need to buy another 5 to make them useful... Will be converting this guy up unless he's cheap somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeStinyFiSh Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 What did you search for I cannot find any. Tech Priest Manipulus was the magic word. The auction said 10 plus more of them available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Thanks DeStinyFiSh, now I have to decide if I want him or whether I should buy the box and sell the other parts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 So we have a Kill Team preview for this guy... Pretty decent! A bit short ranged though. He can get an ability in KT that adds 1" to the Movement of all models within 6", however I doubt this will be in 40k. Hoping he has a longer range in 40k or a tasty aura on top. Full preview coming later in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostglaive Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I'm doubting the range will increase for 40k. Most, if not all, weapons in KT have retained the same profiles as they have in their 40k counterparts. Although I do hope as well the range is greater. They made him out to be some long-ranged gunner. This is... kind of disappointing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother_b Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah not sure what I'm supposed to think of this guy. I run Stygies, and this guy needs to be close to do some damage. To get close, you need to move, which hurts because the weapon is heavy. Strange indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heliomanes Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Everything is up to what kind of buffing ability he has, and the point cost... Fingers and mechadendrites crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanPesci Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 errrghh. Really hope that the profiles get updated for 40k, otherwise I see no point taking him instead of arqebus rangers (im imaging he'll be sitting into a similar points bracket ie between an engineseer and a dominus).... who have, more range, same profile on arqebus (edit: 1 less AP), but with the ability to snipe characters and cause mortal wounds as well. Have 2 stay still for 2 turns to get the benefits...on an 18" weapon...just doesnt translate/work in 40k..and even if it does, 3 wounds is the best outcome.... So yeah, lets hope for some changes/extra buff rules! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorNese Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Well, coming from a chapter with +1" movement bubble on the chapter master, this does sound useful. Granted, it's not much, but mobility is the one thing we lack a lot, and every bit helps. And "living conduit for the power of the Motive Force" does sound like making others move more is his thing. If you run a huge Carl skitarii/servitor bubble like me, having a manipulus with the overwatch relic would hand out some quite nice bubbles to everyone around. For now I used enginseers (useless but cheap) or dominus (expensive, but redundant bubble), but this guy would work too. I do hope that his 40k rules have a BS of 2+ (as the ranged specialist) so moving won't hurt his hit chances too much. The flamer seems (un-literally) hit or miss to me - most targets with 2W won't be impressed by the combination of only S4 and -1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
synthaside Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Mmm colour me underwhelmed ... he would have to be around the 70 point bracket ... ?i could see me using him if the aura is plus 1 movment , we would go from one of the slowest armies to the fastest " foot sloggers" I could see it also being skitarri or " forge world Infantry model .. to prevent the already very quick Striders from benefitiing The guns however seem terrible ... i'd take a macrostubber over that thing ... unless they get both weapons thats just bad .

frosteldar Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The Kill Team review for him did indicate he was meant to fill a role between the Dominus and Enginseer, so hopefully point/ability-wise that will be true for 40k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
