Skiitari are definitely best served as a support army. They pair quite well with space marines, as skiitari in drop pods are pretty scary. I like 10 man vanguard with 3 arc rifles, or 5 man vanguard with 2 plasma culverins. They're a bit fragile, but they can put down some nasty shooting when they deep strike. Two squads of 3 arc rifles will take down a knight no problem. One squad kills a land raider on odds (assuming you've used their ability to boost BS to 5 or better)

Sir Teabag posted:They're not so much as full army as an expansion. You can play with nothing but Skitarii but they don't have any troops, transports, HQ, or fliers. I believe there are about 5 or 6 different types of units in the book, and the majority of them are based on two to three kits if I'm correct. Why would they make a whole codex for 6 units?

LingcodKilla posted:I'm still trying to figure out the mental gymnastics on why those two had to be seprated. The boring and short answer is money. The more interesting (and equally GW-esque) answer is that they don't want to have rules out without models, or models without rules, so they released half the army with their rules first, then the second half of the army with the second half of the rules later. When AdMech eventually get redone, I wouldn't be surprised if they were all in the same book.

Well, they've gotta do something about the fact that the new Space Marine Codex hosed the Blood Angels out of a point of BS on their scouts. That merits a whole new Codex release, doesn't it? Right, guys?

It's a nice jump pack chaplain with a Mk4 pack, so thinking it will be suitable for the Heresy. The Terminator character looks a lot like the one from the Deathstorm boxed set.

That's one sexy Chaplain, dig the design on the armour. Might shave off the Blood Angels bits and jam in him my Heresy force. Part of me wants to think it's part of a new Deathstorm/Stormfang box thing, though considering the last campaign box was Blood Angels as well it's a little weird.

I have no idea, are Chimeras still the primo method of getting guard-sized units (which I assume the Skitarii are) from point a to point b? Or are there better Imperial related transport options?

Or are there better Imperial related transport options? For Skitarii? Drop Pods are the way of the future. Marines can take them as Fast Attack options now if I'm not mistaken, allowing Skitarii allies to deploy in them. Combine that with the natural Relentless and some Arc Rifles/Plasma Cavaliers and you've got some seriously disgusting shooting behind enemy lines Turn 1/2.

I doubt it, Lemartes got a new model along with the codex before the current one and it isn't nearly as bad as the really old one. I don't see it being replaced, but you never know. Maybe they want to upgrade him to plastic.

They're apparently reboxing the Execution Force assassins and releasing a few characters, if that's the new Lemartes it's a huge improvement and a cool model regardless.

Chaplain looks ril good but he has bendy spaghetti legs. There's a condition for that kind of bone warping, something about growing up with rickets, maybe? My pet peeve is bad proportions, right after tanks being so tiny that their pilots couldn't possibly fit into them, but look at this poo poo:  What the gently caress.
