Stormwing Scions can be a base for having hilarious, "mobile" HSS:>lascannons/missles/multi melta >Stormwing Scion - 5+ snaps >skyseekers - 4+ snaps >(not neccessary but let's push it even further:) MoS - 3+ snaps There you go, your heavy weapon squad has relentless. Don't know how it works with overwatch attacks but if it does than it's even funnier. Lion has also passive charge-or-get-charged stasis grenades. It's super huge.

wow, that's cheap. I don't know how thought process at FW looks like but that was totally unnecessary. Giving him art and ap2 was a good step, it should be like this from the start but this is just... dumb. Don't you worry, psyarkana have quite a few items to mess him good and with Ld7 I'd say it will be hilarious to watch. Not to mention that psi resonant pentacle will bring him to I1 resulting in mutual kill with PF wielding centurion costing half his cost lol Also your past and present anti DA bias shows.

Yep. Flat 3 with no option to take more, which is annoying. Though they are quite chunky with their 2W. No frag grenades (FW quality strikes again) and their rules/weapons are lackluster for "hurr durr character killers". I don't know what purpose that unit is supposed to serve.

Yes. After seeing rules scans for automata and cabal on a certain board, my enthusiasm very quickly turns into resentment.

Can someone tell me what do they mean by that? I know it's just a sneak peak and all ,but I fail to see practical application iof that rules.I assume of course that it's reverese ie. stunned=shaken.

Positively suprised at corswain/marduk rules preview. Corswain is very solid (good thing he has no EW, otherwise IF fans rage would become difficult to bear lol) and PE 6" from Sedras is Alpharius tier huge buff.

I hadn't thought about that combo but I think that'd work. Add the Medicae to the Cenobium/Holguin combo, a unit of Companions with or without Holguin, or another hardy unit with Holguin like regular Cataphractii Terminators, and you'll have something that's very hard to dislodge from an objective. Thinking about it some more, adding a Medicae to a unit of Companions for objective parking makes the most sense since you want Holguin for challenges because of the Scion of the Deathwing rule.You essentially have a VERY expensive melee unit that's sitting on an objective doing nothing. And these kind of units attract very specific kind of attention in form of S8+ Ap2 blasts which makes an entire endeavour of stacking FnP bonuses pointless. Not knowing the rest of the RoW, but now unit that would benefit the most are veterans with an apothecary and mayby some consul that won't mind sitting and shooting (vigilator/MoS/Armistos/librarian).

They'd get 6+ FNP for having a Scion of the Deathwing character (like Holguin) in the unit. It's 6+ FNP, or +1 to an existing one.Yeah, sure, but 6+ FnP is nothing to write home about really. By saying "basic" I mean standard 5+FnP from other source (primus med at the moment) and while I think Holguin would be a nice addon for Cenobium, I don't see him as an autoinclude for that unit.

But discussing Contekar is fine I guess :) Cenobium would need a Basic form of FnP to benefit from the RoW though. Wonder what RW and IW scions do, FW is very solid. And option to (probably) take Cenobium specializations on characters is definitely a nice thing.

If your legion has any AP2 at initiative or similar: use that. Otherwise, thunder hammer. I thought Chaplains had to use a power axe or maul? Nope, when upgraded to a chaplain they get a Power Weapon to use as a Crozius but you can still swap any other weapon to whatever you want where available.That was pre-errata, now you're stuck with a crozius forever. And combi bolter cannot be exchanged to melee weapon.

Lorgar looks really stupid :-P

I hope people do realize it would be impossible to make helmets for some of the primarchs because of how their minis are designed. Lorgar, Vulkan or curze have too much going on round their heads to fit a helm. Of course it can be done at the price of serious head shrinkage but it will show.

I'm asking because I see that my post that debunked Marshal Rohr's claims as false was deleted and is still misssing and his was only edited without removing it. Looks kind of unfair to me. If discussion is offtop why not remove all the offtop posts or leave them? Oh and since mod in question LIKED Marshal's post and removed mine I call playing favorites.

Ok... Boarding shield is designed to protect as much body area as possible just like scutum, saying it was developed to protect "soft" armour is.... well. A big misunderstanding and an example of faulty logic. Why do you think Mk3 ws developed? Or terminator project for that matter? And why, oh why, didn't they solved the problem of strenghtening flexible armour while designing it, only reinforced alredy heavier armoured plates? Boarding shields were used because concentrated fire in enclosed area WOULD BREAK "HARD" POWER ARMOUR and there was no cover to minimize the damage. Here, illustration: Please tell me how much "soft" (you may use %) is exposed on this rendition of mk3 armour used by Breacher squads?

I've sent you PM, what now?
