Marshal van Trapp

So one of my friends sent me this on our BT discord, emphasized underlines by him; Seems like we're getting a full supplement to ourselves

Sounds like a hell of a good unit

So if our crusader squads are going to be 2W and 18ppm, does that mean crusader squads are now a fairly even trade for primaris marines? Assault intercessors are 19ppm, meaning that for +1 point they get +1 attack but not much else, they lose out on the cheaper transport options and (pending a change to the codex) will only potentially get 1 special melee weapon per squad and no flamers (which will now be range 12"), meltaguns (which will not be +2D at half range), or plasma guns (which now only explode on natural 1s). Overall this is a huge plus for our firstborn brothers and as someone who wants to go heavy into assault this edition, I'm hoping that Assault Intercessors get access to the Veteran Intercessor stratagem just to give them a bonus over our crusader squads.

So I actually didnt make their cloaks from GS I followed a tutorial on this forum to make them from tissue and I gotta say they look pretty ok Haven't painted them yet but I'm confident that they will look good and the conversion work for the arms was not as intensive as you'd think (I think I only had to chop up 2 reiver arms to get them to fit)

Yup, the box has 6 rifles (although one is admittedly slung on a backpack) 3 fusils, and 1 instigator carbine. It also has 10 heads so the only thing you'd really need to add is a cloak to reivers

I actually used 2 squads backed by a devastator squad the other day in a 2k game with my templars, because of their ability to deploy anywhere they actually came in quite handy as I put both of them in hard to reach areas with good fov. Also LPT, the box comes with enough arms to make 9 eliminators (technically 10 with an instigator bolt carbine thrown in) with minimal kitbashing you can use reivers to fill in as bodies and get 3 whole squads out of a single box!

How durable are they now?They're a bit flexible but they're strong, once I prime them I'm sure they'll get more rigid

Not to revive too dead of a topic, but after seeing this I decided to use it for my eliminators made from spare bits from the multipart kit and while it's still very WiP I think they look very good already: To get them to look correct I'm going to gs a smooth transition between the parts of their shoulders that have molded cloak already and probably add some buckles like the regular ones have

I mean, technically the AdMech were trying to steal their most sacred relic and the CM entered into a ritualistic combat with the "traitor" that was said to have its outcome determined by the emperor himself so maybe the emperor blessed him those spider legs? Also last we heard from them didnt the remaining legion help the IF defeat some rogue dreadnought that was trying to take over the Phalanx?

I dont think I've seen a single post in the thread about that but you may be confused because the character strat gives the dread +1A

So his matchups were Guard, IK soup, and chaos, he went 3-0 and said the first match was easy (wiped the guard to only his basilisk because they were out of LoS) something like 30-8, the other two were much closer hes convinced its strong but not super over powered

The levi was typical storm cannons and iirc all the dreads were dual las and dual autocannon, both commanders were punisher gattling cannons, he said the only hard matchup was someone playing eldar flyer spam, he crushed a guard and a soup knight player easy

Something like dubble battalion "loyal 32" style and a spearhead? Character strat needs to get toned down to one use only or something. Actually yes, 2 tallran ig loyal 32s (admittedly he uses 2 tank commanders for the added firepower in one) then a marine batallion with 3 scouts the iron father, a regular captain, and the 6 dreads (so it's a mortis, 3 vens, the leviathan and a single regular dread, I completely forgot the relic tax) after upgrading all the dreads to characters and getting the other bonuses, he ends up with a whopping 11 CP to spend on strats during the game itself

So the character strat is kinda broken, my friend is currently engaged in a tournament where he is running a 6 dread list (1 leviathan 3 ven and 2 regular) along with guard, he is convinced the extra cheap CP are worth the losing out on doctrines and based on his current performance (2-0 tabling both opponents) I'm inclined to agree, he is using the guard as shooting bubble wrap so his character dreads are invulnerable to shooting then he has a leviathan in the center of the board with the 5+++ and the iron father, in both games he has repaired all the wounds that the leviathan has lost and we are both convinced it's going to get nerfed

Triszin I love your models! These conversions are amazing and I wish I hadn't glued the burst cannons on my stealth suits because that little space swap really makes the suit look that much better!
