Captain Invictus posted:There's also a teaser for the Eisenkern grav-tanks in the Valkyr Heavy Troopers box art I can't help but to think of that design as kinda lazy as to me it looks like a StuG 3 without any tracks. Which I guess fits the aesthetics but I'm sure there is so much more you can do with that.

Soulfucker posted:The assassins can be taken as allies despite not having HQ slots because of a rule that states so, why do you guys assume this will be different? Assassins have their own unique FOC consisting of 1x Elites. What people seem to be saying is you can't use the CAD or Allies FOC because the Harlies have no HQ Choices, and some tourneys require that you stick to these detachments?

They all come off as a really dull and uninspired. I mean I know why because it keeps production costs down and such but at the same time I just wish they'd make them a little bit more eye catching or appealing than just a box with some wheels attached to it.

So, you can take this harly detachment, why are you all losing your minds? You can take a CAD and this detachment, that would even fit within most tourneys with a limit of two detachemnts (usually only one CAD as well). Just because they can not fill out an 'allied' detachment does not mean that they can't be taken as a non-primary detachment. It would be nice if you could avoid 3x troops etc, but differences are nice to see once in a while. If you work in a group of players who only allow CAD or Allied detachments then ask them to reconsider their view. This game is moving away from that style quickly with these formations and codex specific detachments. Foul Ole Ron posted:This I did not know. So if I pick a sergeant to be my Warlord, he roles on the trait table? But all non indie characters or characters, can't ? Characters roll on the table. Non character models don't, unless otherwise noted.

Don't call it an Allied Detachment, that's something different. It's simply a Masque Detachment, which can be included any number of times in any army.

Until the full rules are out there is no point getting annoyed about anything. Though this force chart reeks of GW trying to subtly make you buy more models, so I would not be suprised if it turns out to be true.

These types sing the praises of all new releases as amazing and competitive, then go right back to their Eldar/Imperial Knights to stomp on lesser armies and tell them it's their own fault.

I'll hold off on jizzing everywhere about Harlequins until I see the codex, but with Dark Eldar being dirt cheap troop selection they seem a decent add. I'm more interested with the change to holofields. I'm still hoping that the Chaos Space Marine book get's the Necron treatment cause that book is really solid.

I was discussing the Lucius-pattern Drop Pod with a friend the other day, is it really true that hitting the 'pod with a template weapon would deal d6 hits against a Dreadnought inside it, as per the No Escape (?) rule? If so, that's dumb and hilarious if you find a strong enough flamer and pull off a 2-for-one deal by killing a vehicle inside a vehicle.

I think the whole idea of them is that they are a supplement to the other 2 books and a way to play them within campaigns and such. When I look at a release I don't immediately think what's the strongest build I can make ,but what's the most fun I could get out of this? Their rules are like top tier amazingly broken, but they are not terrible rules at all. Kind of sucks we're not getting the full range of Harlequins, Mimes and the Great Harlequin seem to be missing. I am now working on my Necron Army of Walking Dooooom and that's going to be a lot of fun to play it's all formations. Resurgence Formation 15 Warriors 15 Warriors 5 Immortals in Nightscythe 5 immortals in Nightscythe Monolith Royal Court Nemesor Zandrakh Obyron Illuminor These are the only things I don't have and I'll have to purchase Judicator Battalion 2 Triarchs 5 Praetorians 5 Praetorians

Yeah I can agree that specific design works but at the same time I'm still kinda disappointed by the general uninspiredness of third party vehicle designs. Haven't really seen that many other design that really stand out in the clutter of mostly box vehicles and hovering shampoo bottles.

That actually seems legit - normal Drop Pods you have to disembark as soon as you land, but the Lucius lets you stay embarked, apparently? And it's an Open-Topped vehicle, so yeah, No Escape hits would happen if you flamer-ed at it. No idea what facing those hits would be on, though - front armor vs side would make a difference on how effective/hilarious that strategy would be.
