Panzer Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Different but similar leak, but now with dates: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHu29HdWoAALhL2?format=jpg&name=small https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHu29HWXYAAEpXs?format=jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EHu29HpXYAYnA__?format=jpg Taliesin 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathstrider Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 If that price for Mepiston is true, it might give us some clues. $40 is the price of Tigurius, Tor Garadon etc... so size wise we're looking at Primaris or Gravis size rather than something Primarch size.

BluejayJunior Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Blood Angels already have a lot of named characters, so I would be surprised to see a new Primaris character. I would assume they would embiggen an already existing character. That's my opinion anyway, I could very well be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gingerninja Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I am so hyped, a new cool FW dread, a new Mephiston model and Blood of Baal. Wonder what kinda of new unit/units we get, maybe Primaris DC? Then dont forget the new book, with Guy Haley, coming soon, Darkness in the Blood. Will be released at Black Library weekender on the 9th of nov. I to would like to see Dante remain as chapter master and given a new model!

Spagunk Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) At 40, I think it's safe to assume mephy is at least primaris sized: whether by size or by effects. Edited October 25, 2019 by Spagunk Pathstrider 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New mephiston apparently Ahh I interpreters it as two diffrent releases. And that the Blood of Baal will include something else then Mephiston. Guess we will have to wait and see.

Blindhamster Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Blood of baal is just a book based on its cost. So I cant imagine it being more than an update book with new mephiston rules. So sad about no new dante honestly. But I do like wizards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanDutch Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) If we're lucky there may be a new specific BA unit in the battleforce box. I very much doubt it, it will probably be the unique Lt model we had, but you never know. Interesting to see if it's Primaris only, or contains a squad of DC and SG. Thinking about it my money is on an Invictor and/or Impulsor. Edited October 25, 2019 by VanDutch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlo Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Glad we're getting a new Mephiston. Incredibly sad it's not a new Dante though, unlike Lysander/ Vulkan He'Stan and the other firstborn characters he just doesn't line up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoridon Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Mephistopheles makes sense. He’s supposed to be large but is one of our smallest models, a very old and static sculpt. Edit: Apparently the phone autocorrect decided BA naming needed an injection of Germanic mythology. I’ll leave that in just on the off chance that Meph gets a name update after entering the Box of Biggering and my phone turns out to be psychic. 3rd party sites have been marketing space death lords etc. that people seem to like and lots of people have made great looking Mephiston proxies out of kits like the Primaris chaplain. It makes sense for GW to put their own updated version out for such a popular character. I’m not expecting any new units, just a mix of existing stuff with upgrade sprues, but you never know :) Edited October 26, 2019 by Thoridon VanDutch 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Interested to see if he ends up primaris. If he does he is a perfect candidate to go in an impulsor. One of the best options in the game. So fingers crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont-Be-Haten Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Primaris mephiston would sink me into all primaris BA for sure. Wolf Lord Duregar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you can normally charge after disembarking. But not when specifically using the Assault Vehicle rule for Impulsors. That's probably where the confusion came from.

Panzer Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 If he still has access to wings of sanguinus the there’s no need for an impulsor imo It would have freed a valuable power slot though and you could have used wings on your Librarian Dread instead.

Kind of counter intuitive, having a rule called assault vehicle whichspecifically prevents its occupants from assaulting. I do think a true assault vehicle might be overpowered in the current game. Still, the Impulsor can shoot forwards then hopefully eather the storm with the shield dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Assault doesn't necessarily mean melee in 40k to be fair. We have Assault weapons that are best used for staying at range as well as our Assault Marines who were a long time best used by giving them a bunch of special weapons instead of sending them into melee. However I agree that "Rapid deployment" would've been a better name for that kind of special rule. Xenith 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathstrider Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I’d love it if wings was just integrated into his profile rather than a power. It makes sense as a power to make blood angels librarians different but the chance of failure/being denied makes it a bit risky imo when you can have Captains with jump packs as a smashy alternative Indefragable 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I’d love it if wings was just integrated into his profile rather than a power. They did that with the sword of Sanguinius, it would make sense for him to have it as 'always on'. Reading the last Meph novel, I assume any model with have him with large bloody wings and they would go this route and have him as the flying monstrous creature he is. Despite some psychic blockages, Mephy seems to still be able to call on his flamin sword of Rhuin and his magic wings at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense as a power to make blood angels librarians different but the chance of failure/being denied makes it a bit risky imo when you can have Captains with jump packs as a smashy alternative If he was just treated as jump pack infantry instead of having to cast a psychic power, he'd lose mobility. Unless you're suggesting his normal movement stat should be 19", which would never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
