That blue is intense, and I don't know how I feel about the pipes with the servo skull on them, but I like the rest of it. I've always been a fan of dressing up tanks for commanders to ride in. I bitz-ed up a similar thing for one of my rhinos, using one of the small satellite dishes and a Land Speeder antenna I accidentally broke off, along with a searchlight and a hunter-killer missile, for when I run my command squad in a Rhino instead of a Razorback. You can kind of see it here, the unpainted thing on top of the left Rhino:



I like the homebrew version because I can just drop it into the Razorback turret mount, but if I hadn't already built the thing I'd probably pick up one of the new ones, it's a neat upgrade idea.

Did I ever tell you my favorite color was blue?
Finished my Assault Marines






I also started my Callidus, who should be done soon.

I'd like some pointers on how to shade her better. I started with Dark Reaper with Thunderhawk Blue on the edges of the highlighted areas, and then went over it with Nuln Oil. I am unsure how I can make it pop as nicely as the ones GW does, and honestly wish they had a how-to video for the assassins. Also, some suggestions on how to go about the C'tan Phase Blade and Neural Shredder would be welcome.

That blue is melting my eyes.

Should have made the Spartan a plastic kit.

That blue is a weapon of the Emperor and should be respected as such :colbert:
I think those look... okay. I think the Rhino is a bit too blinged up and I'd prefer something similar like the Damocles command Rhino, although I think that's serviceably blinged up for a Chapter Master's Land Raider. I like the commander coming out of the top.

Also lol at loyalists getting another Land Raider while Chaos is stuck with the default pattern.

If anyone wants to see ginormous versions of those tanks, here ya go:

I dig the new monocle heads, some of the armor plates look lazily bolted on, but I like the more detailed doors and all. I always appreciate more power pimp canes too, and I LOVE the ridiculous eagle gun cowling.
Also, weirdly enough, they seem to be Warhammer World exclusives:

Kataphron Half-Armor : Save 4+
Arc Claw : Melee, S+1, AP5, Haywire
Hydraulic Claw : Melee, S+2, Unwielddy, At the end of the assault phase, you can do an additional attack with Strenght X2 (max S10)
Cognis Flamer : template S4 AP5 Assault, when used at overwatch, 3 hits instead of 1D3
Heavy Arc Rifle : 36" S6 AP5 heavy 2 Haywire
Heavy Grav Cannon : 30", F*, AP2, Salvo 4/6 Concussive Grav
Phosphor Blaster : 24", S5, AP4, Rapid Fire, Luminagen : a unit wich take a damage or lost a wound by these munitions, take a -1 cover save penalty till the end of the phase. When a unit charge this target, they can reroll their Charge roll

Lots of nice looking guns there, and they can fire two, plus always count as stationary. Heavy Grav Cannon, Arc Rifle, Culverin and Torsion Cannon are all spiffy.

Destroyers with Grav Cannons, Breachers with Torsion Cannons. Both are free swaps I think.

Only the secondary stuff costs points to swap, but why the torsion cannons and not the arc rifles? The heavy grav cannons can easily deal with MCs while the heavy arc rifles will murder vehicles, and are still can hurt most everything else by nature of S6, from an extra 12" away.

Torsion Cannons look like they would be more versatile than the Arc Rifles. Not sure how the wound multipliers would work shooting something like squads of Terminators?

Oh, I assumed it was multiple wounds on a single model, if it's separate wounds like with rad poisoning that's a different story.

Huh. I guess the question is, will the rules be exclusively packed with them, or will they feature into the new SM book down the line--or possibly as a free download.

Also if DA don't get the Rhino Primaris I will be really annoyed. It's a vehicle with plasma, c'mon.

I don't mind the command vehicles too much (certainly now they're in non-eye searing blue), digging the pimp stick on the raider commander.

But WHW exclusive? gently caress that.

Hopefully GW isn't being too pants on head retarded and they're just timed exclusives like console games. Then again this is GW...

55 points though for a T5 2 W model with 4+ armour though is horrendously bad. Like everything is good except the cost and the armour save. They'll get decimated by HV HS weapons. So honestly I was sold on them until I saw that. Maybe they'll have a FNP rule or something but otherwise nope.

Satchel Bags, metal pin badges, mugs, T-shirts and hoodies…How will you choose? These exclusives and the Space Marine command tanks will only be available to purchase here at the Warhammer World Store. For the lucky ticket holders, the Grand opening this weekend will be your first opportunity to take these exclusives home. If you are not a ticket holder, have no fear, Monday 18th May will be your first opportunity to grab these exclusives, as we will be selling them all year round.

Reads to me like they'll always be WHW exclusives, just that they are extra-exclusive during the Golden Ticket weekend.

Anything that is not a witchfire can be used in CC. Basically no shooting attacks but otherwise everythings fine to use.

It's briefly touched on in Titanicus where a Warlord Princeps talks about how the Warhound he used to drive acted like a big angry dog with poor impulse control, how his current Warlord doesn't like listening to him very much and how Imperator/Emperor Princeps end up going crazy because of how powerful the machine spirit is. I don't remember how the Reavers worked though. I think that they might have just been angry at everything.
I don't think the Reaver AI has ever been expanded upon. Warhounds are based on the engram of wolves or dogs (pack animals) and the Warlord is based on a grizzly bear. Reavers are supposed to predate Warlords, so maybe it uses a primitive AI that isn't as strong as the Imperator? Or it could be based on a panda bear. I like to think that the Reaver prefers to spend its time in bamboo forests and is easily startled by sneezes.

Now that the 2015 Imperial Knights Codex is out and the Errant and the Paladin variants can also take a Thunderstrike Gaunlet and/or Carapace Weapons one would hope that they will do a limited time upgrade sprue buy for those of us that have the *2013* Imperial Knights.

I bought one of the missile launchers on ebay for roughly ten dollars. The autocannon has been tough to find though.

So do you have a bunch of dusty Dark Angels models sitting on a shelf too? If so, we would literally have all three of the same armies.

I have a single Knight Paladin that I bought a month or so back. No Dark Angles, though I am toying with making vanilla SM army depending on how the new codex looks.

They do have the same thing in Fantasy (each wound multiplied out, but only really impacts multi-wound models), so there is precedent. Though it could either way depending on the wording.

55 points for two plasma cannon shots or 6 haywire attacks at 30" is a steal. gently caress, it could take out a spartan in one turn of shooting. Think about that for a minute.

The only vehicles in my lists these days are is a required "throw-away" Wave Serpent whose only job is to flat-out and unload precious cargo and flyers.

Except the Tantalus, which I use because no one knows what the hell it is and it looks cool (it's not bad either).
