Castle Wolfenstein Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Am I blind or is there no datasheet listed for Zhufor in the new Imperial Armour Compendium table of contents? https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/10/26/inside-imperial-armour-compendium/ It's too bad if he doesn't have a datasheet anymore. I was really hoping the new IA book would change his reroll 1s to hit aura to work on World Eaters as well as skulltakers, but alas, it looks like its not to be.

Brother Tyler Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 If he's turned into a Legends datasheet as the article says (way down at the bottom), perhaps you might get your way. Castle Wolfenstein 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irate Khornate Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I guess the model is about to be out of production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Bit of a shame, we lost all our named FW characters. Before today, part of me still hoped that they'd actually provide rules for the Skulltakers. I'm glad my Zhufor was magnetised from the start so I can easily use him as a regular Chaos Lord (like I was anyway). Oh well, at least Chaos got off relatively lightly with the IA datasheet culls.

Cheex Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 (edited) Goonhammer review is up: https://www.goonhammer.com/9th-edition-imperial-armour-compendium-the-goonhammer-review/ Dreadclaws look great. Cheaper than before, able to drop on T1 (though currently units have to stay embarked on the turn it arrives), improved weapon in combat, and ability to cause mortal wounds by passing over enemies. Lost a wound, but that means no damage table, so overall a win to me. Edited October 31, 2020 by Cheex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castle Wolfenstein Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Does anyone know if the chaos contemptor still gets the extra attack if armed with 2 CCWs? I have a world eaters contemptor with 2 fists that I have yet to assemble, wondering if I should order a ranged weapon instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment none of the chaos dreads have the extra attack from 2 melee weapons until FAQ. Right now it's best to assemble them as you wish then shelve them. Helbrutes do the job the exact same if not better atm. Castle Wolfenstein 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helbrutes do the job the exact same if not better atm. Eh, contemptors are still worth taking imo. They got the invuln, extra movement, access to more weapons (RIP butcher cannons though). I'll probably keep one in all my lists. Oh, and warpsmiths can repair them now, too. Edited November 6, 2020 by Relentless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If you compare the current Contemptor to the old - then sure, it's not as good, mainly because of the CP cost. But if you think of it as an up-gunned Helbrute, it is a much easier pill to swallow. If you were to use the Fire Frenzy strat on the Helbrute even once, it would end up with the same CP outlay as the Contemptor. The Contemptor can also be thought of as a Havoc alternative. Two multimeltas and a missile launcher will do some serious damage to vehicles within 24", or you can swap out one of the multimeltas for a chainfist so it can hold its own in combat if needed. That said, I'm a much bigger fan of how the Decimator turned out. Yes, it has a damage chart now, but it combos well with the Lord Discordant and Daemonforge strat. Especially now that the Soulburner Petard requires a wound roll; it got a lot cheaper, while its downsides can be mitigated with Daemonforge rerolls.

TorvaldTheMild Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Even if they are getting rid of him, doesn't matter to me, I have the model and bought another to convert him into a larger zerker like the rest of the new CSM's so he'll just become another one of my champions, with whatever the rules allow me to have. GW can't take away the lore from me but even then it doesn't matter because I only use champions in large scale games when I use more than one because I ALWAYS take the chosen of Khorne in my battles for my HQ (Khârn for the uninitiated, or for those that made a brain fart).
