Triszin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 so the chaplain looking guy, no not the one with the blade --------------------- Well, the playester in the Discord I'm in said this:"he is like a Primaris champion and not a chaplainHe is called the JudicarAnd he is a beastIt’s an elite choice not an HQAnd makes an enemy unit fight last" --------------------------- so a elite choice has Armor of russ's ability baked in Valerian 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShire Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 If true, having two units that can make an enemy unit fight last could shut down the enemy fight phase! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I like that new version of the Chaplain much better for using as a Wolf Priest; I just didn't care much for the earlier Chaplain version that they released, but this guy looks good. New Devastator/Long Fang type dudes with some sort of Melta weapon. Hopefully it has some decent range. And, they're in Gravis Armour, so a little more survivability. Can't see using those Storm Shield toting Sternguard Veteran types - just too hard to Wolf those up. Bikers look sweet, but might give them a pass, depending on rules/stats. Probably a pass on the rest, as well, as they're not really "Space Wolves" enough. Konnavaer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triszin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 im going to guess the "hellfuries" gravis have Melta lances. With how slow they move, they need a weapon at least 24" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0deb1ue Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Can I magnetise a bunch of chain swords and bolt pistols or do the heavy ones look way different? Have a bunch of spare intercessors that could be prepped but not sure if it will WYSIWYG enough Edited May 23, 2020 by C0deb1ue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Yea chapter specific stuff I’m sure is all a ways out as you say. Problem is im slow so any primaris for me is a long ways out too. Perfect heartbreak timing... so,we are in the assault wave phase. we still have the heavy support phase then the chapter specific phase so chapter specific could be 6~ years out So I’ll start then then get blindsided by secundus marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Blackwood Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 This looks to be pretty good for us , were getting a dedicated heavy weapons team to potentially replace long fangs. Were also getting what looks like several dedicated close combat units that can fit in impulsors which will only work better with our rules. I could not be happier about the announcements today.

C0deb1ue Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The stern guard guys may not even come to us. They look so space marine and power swords are pretty meh with our chapter tactic - need hammers on them for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a bunch of spare intercessors that could be prepped but not sure if it will WYSIWYG enough Heavy Bolt Pistols do look a little different. Honestly, I'd just wait, mate. You'll want to see what all of the options are, anyway. How many standard Intercessor Squads do you have built up? If you don't already have 4 Packs (total of at least 20 dudes) already built out for regular Intercessors, I'd use your spares to get those ready first.

SilverShire Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Could the Helfury's weapon be akin to a thermal spear? So not exactly the same as a melta but very similar, like an eliminator's Las Fusil is similar to a Lascannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 A melta-type weapon that's assigned to Gravis guys really ought to be a bit better than a regular melta. It looks enough like a regular melta, that I suspect the name will have "melta" somewhere in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverShire Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 perhaps its damage d6 normally, except against vehicles its damage 3+d3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just making up 24 normal 3 chain, 3 hammer, 3 powerfists. I could magnetise the last 6 normal but honestly I’ll probably just wait as I reckon the new box will have some etc!

Wispy Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) i love the bikers and the assault intercessors - but am a little discouraged with all the veteranas and characters with codex gak all over them. its mostly the tabards - kitbashing them to space wolves is going to be challenging! that said, assuming this is all a boxset, this is my next project. just in time, almost finally done with my Shadow Spear models.

Wispy Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) alright, figured out what to do - 1. cover the ab tabard with a filed down wulfen shoulder pad 2. turn the lower tabard into loin pelts 3 swap in some space wolf stormshields, probably wulfen 4. try to get some more space wolf specific powerswords to swap in 5. head swaps, of course the real question is which models will be Deathwolf and Which will be Blackmane...

Dark Shepherd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I bring grim omens from the warp brothers...our character options could be in peril...someone posited the theory that based on the stream we will be rewarded in CP for taking as few detachments as possible...so the number of easily taken characters could be limited Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't really have a particular use or need for all of that stuff. dont patronize what i need or not, geez, worry about yourself. i'm making a primaris collection. i already have old wolf stuff, when they do new wolf stuff i'll get new wolf stuff.

Wispy, dude, I'm not patronizing you. I even mentioned that I know you like to enjoy the kit-bashing part of the hobby. Just figured I'd offer an opinion on how I would personally proceed. Of course you're welcome, and encouraged to do with the hobby what you wish, and get your own enjoyment out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Great. Just when I settled on my army with three intercessor packs with auto bolt rifles. Still a great choice, Rags - I wouldn't sweat going that direction. Hell, i've got 4 such units being painted right now. These new Assault Intercessors just give an opportunity to add a couple more Packs later. I don't think any of it will be wasted. Depending on what they do with CP generation precisely, the trusty 8e double-Battalion might not be as "critical" as it is now, but I don't think more Intercessors will ever be a bad choice.
