Sir Clausel

The poopsmith is coming! Or the Execrator! It is a bit of a silly name but his lore is so cool! While i dont have the official model yet i just couldnt help myself from converting one already. The skullmask is a bit hit and miss for me. Its a reiver helmet where i carved the forehead to look like a skull and also did some sculpting. It looks enough like a skull but maybe one day ill make a new one.

Am i the only one thinking its weird that the Saturnine set have 6 terminators but now when they are seperate it 4 per box?

I just ordered one of each. Have already converted an Execrator already and dont plan to use more than one Crusader Ancient. But i might get more later because of all the gourmet bits!

Yeah i just saw this to. Laughed out loud and nearly woke up my 3 month old... My girlfriend was not amused !

I for one am happy that they didnt release a army box. Because thrn you would have to wait for the real release to get points updates and such. Maybe im biased since i have a huge army but most of the time the boxes are filled with units you already have plenty of plus the new ones.

Im not too happy about the Sword Brethren change. They are worse than bladeguard on their own. Only thing that makes them good is adding two characters which think is a bit sad. They will now either have to be too cheap to feel like an elite unit or they will be too expensive to be usefull. And that is only talking offensive. Defensive they are like glass. Especially with no AoC. I think Helbrect may be better with crusaders. Add a Lieutenant for lethals and sustained. But then again it might be better to switch Helbrecht for a regular Marshal for the 5+ crits

While alot of this is probably true. Its done with AI from a guy claiming he has the codex. So there is probably some stuff that is not quite as written. There is some confusion around Sword Brethren about how many attacks they have and what they hit on. And also damage. Though its mot likely d2 power swords. But overall i like this. Most of this is good and fun!

I totally agree that its so good there is some ruled diversity. However the wolves should also have chsnged oath to something new since they are just as codex noncompliant as the templars. BA and DA you could argue to also switch it up but they are following the codex at least to some degree. If there should be any limitations for units available it should be very few. I only really think that it works with no psykers for bt. If they would lose acces to more units it would just be sad and just limiting instead of flavour.

My guess its either an error that terminators are missed or the SM 2.0 rumors are correct and terminators will get a different special rule

Im still optimistic. We dont know any strarts or enhancements bar one of each. Or anything regarding our units.

I dont think sternguard gets new weapons. Just a new rule since the one they have i oath dependant. Terminators also have one but they are not mentioned. Either its a mistake or they get new rules in a rumored sm dex 2.0. I dont like the Ancient detachment since its reliance on ancients. Also you have to be on an objective. And only vs higher strength. Too many hoops. And also we need to sell the new model. But a transport(land raider) detachment sounds nice and a footslogging one giving reroll to advance and charge rolls seems good! Especially with Execrators.

Not totally impressed with the rules so far. But we dont know most of it so too soon to judge. But the vows only really seem to have one good one(accept) one okay(uphold) and two meh. The old ones were very good and match up dependant.

I also noticed they say Land raider crusader but not the others. So ours will get new rules. Hopefully for the better! But Accept seems like the best vow.

Yeah we have 14 atm. If we count add the 2 new ones and remove the old firstborn crusader squad that gets us to 15. People are specuating that we get sternguard and normal terminators with a different rules as their rules interact with oath. The last one is a bit harder to pin point. Maybe crusader squads get split in ranged and melee?

Ill probably just start with one. As i have already converted one Execrator and im not too keen on ancients but it is a kickass mini and for the amount bits for future conversions is too much not to get!
