Noserenda Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Which Legions though? Im pretty certain they wont do all remaining legions in one go and we can probably rule out Fists and Alphas as they just got a focus (Shame as im sure the XXth would do something convoluted) and a few Legions already have rules as noted above (plus the Wordbearers).White scars, World Eaters and Ultramarines have had a bit of development without rules so far, anyone I missed?

bushman101 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Is it weird that I'm a bit disappointed by the Dispatch? Maybe it's because I play BA and we already have special Destroyers. Or maybe because it involves a pre-existing unit. Or maybe all the rumors got my expectations up. Probably all of the above Doctor Perils 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a generic thing where it explains who gets what or it could be "And this week: UM Destroyers!". At the moment it is a little bit vague what they said about it.

Astartes Consul Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Going to make the prediction that, instead of a whole new unit for each legion, this will feature updated rules for Destroyers and then a list of special rules / equipment that is legion specific, the same way that the Legion Praevian Consul rules do for Battle-Automata.

LameBeard Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yeah maybe they just ripped a load of ideas from this very forum about how to make Destroyers great again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spagunk Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Destroyers are already great. They weren't for a while but the FAQ definitely fixed a lot of the problem. Brofist and LameBeard 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LameBeard Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Yeah I was just enjoying the cliche. The other threads I was referring to have discussed mostly why the destroyers with all their “proscribed weaponry” are rocking dual bolt pistols (looks cool, but nothing that really screams xenocide actions). They get rad grenades and a bit of phosphex I guess, but there is still potential to do a bit more with them - I was thinking Mournival style “destroyer support squads” but if they have some legion-specific ideas, that sounds interesting too.

Astartes Consul Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Looks like the Lightning has completely vanished? Link is dead. Yeah, I actually need to pick one up to complete (finally) my XIII Legion list and saw this yesterday. Still assuming it is part of the general restock / recode that is going on, but am a little concerned that it has simply vanished, rather than sitting in the 'Sold Out' phase that all the other kits undergoing recoding have done recently...

Darkwrath121 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 It's still visible and in stock on the Irish FW page, so it's possibly a weird hiccup either way. Astartes Consul 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I'm very excited, I already really like the basic destroyer rules and can't wait to see the extra variety this adds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaeron Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hoping we get an official Rite of War than enables a full Destroyer company (like a Moritat unlocking Destroyers as Troops etc.), as that would be wonderfully thematic for certain Legions and build on the community support. I think I’ve used Destroyers perhaps once or twice ever, so it’d be nice to fit them in again! Doctor Perils and Noserenda 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they don't cherry pick legions like they did with the Praevian. Its a slippery slope for design and one of the reasons I don't really like the direction of Mournival units.

Charlo Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I wonder if it'll be for just one legion. Maybe Ultras, seeing as they had that bit of artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I doubt they're going to drop a new RoW in a free campaign supplement, I think we'll get a RoW for Destroyer Companies / Formations the next time they update all the RoWs or do a new Black Book.

Captain Idaho Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'd love an Ultramarines Destroyer themed army. The relationship between Destroyers and their Primarch was strained somewhat and the idea they're the unwanted child but have a necessity at times is pretty cool.

And honestly, the nemesis chapter had some awesome fluff in Tempest. Iirc there was a thread where someone basically made them with some great modelling and narrative, but it was left for a long time.

Joe Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'd be 100% down for certain legions to get a RoW for making Destroyers a troop choice, on top of the legion-specific Destroyer units. Ultramarines and Death Guard in particular. Captain Idaho 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrathOfTheLion Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It will be good to have the Destroyer kit without jump packs back, although why it's gone is baffling to me. They got rid of that kit just months before releasing a RoW for the 1st Legion, where your troops are Destroyers that can't have jump packs...

Definitely made me think of Distant Echoes of Old Night and how I’d really like to have a dedicated Death Guard company for that purpose. Be wonderful for narrative games.

Cris R Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 It'll be interesting to see what they do with Blackshield Destroyer units. There's a lot of narrative potential to make them play differently depending on the reasons they struck out on their own and how they engage in the Heresy.
