They should. When I got my fire raptor it didn't have a flying base or that clear cockpit bit. I contacted Forge World and they got them right to me.

They put all of their resources into making a big gun and then near the end of the project they realize they forgot to design how to transport it. Pretty realistic actually.


Speaking of the mechanicus!
I think I've settled on my first 1250 points of Legio Cybernetica, mainly using the models that I own.

HQ
Archmagos Dominus (245)
- Augury Scanner, Cyber-Familiar, Machinator Array, Rad Cleanser, Abeyant

TROOP
15 Adsecularis Tech-Thralls (80)
- Rite of Pure Thought, Carapace Armor

15 Adsecularis Tech-Thralls (80)
- Rite of Pure Thought, Carapace Armor

2 Castellax (260)
- 2x Enhanced Targeting Arrays, 2x Frag Grenades, 2x Flamers

2 Castellax (290)
- 2x Darkfire Cannons, 2x, Frag Grenades, 2x Enhanced Targeting Arrays

HS
1 Thanatar-Cynis (290)
- Enhanced Targeting Array

Archmagos joins the basic Castellax, one blob of thralls ahead of them, they all move forward to get into close combat.
Darkfire castellax hang in the middle, try to pop transports.
Thanatar-Cynis also truddles forward looking for blobs or 2+ saves. It'd be funny to use Rite of Destruction on this guy and vomit 8 S8 AP2 small blasts and 6 S6 AP3 pinning shots.
Second thrall blob hangs back, or covers the home objective.

Will eventually expand with some Vorax and at around 1750 switch the Archmagos for Scoria.

It's the Heresy, sure. There are real concerns in the book that the Blood Angels may fall to Khorne - Sanguinius won't, but who's saying there aren't Blood Angels who fell?

Or if you're loyalists, not hard to imagine some remnants of other Legions, especially traitors, joining up with the Blood Angels for redemption.

There's a bunch of little blurbs early on in the new book that basically justify why any legion can be used in a shattered legion force.

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

What's the ruling on whether DA Quad Heavy Bolter Rapiers can take the acid shells? I guess technically the "Quad Heavy Bolter" is a different profile than a "Heavy Bolter" so no? If they can take them, I wanna get me some.

Well blood Angels and shattered legions doesn't mean they are traitors, there was the one company who failed the rendezvous that went on a "gently caress traitors" crusade once Garro told them what happened, wouldn't be that weird for them to pick up stray marines along the way.

The wargear entry specifies heavy bolters or twin-linked heavy bolters and only for models with the LA(DA) rule or dreadnoughts of any type. So not even predators can take them. Quad heavy bolters are definitely out too.

Some sperg over on B&C is arguing that you have to roll 1D6 for each model with an acid shell bolter.

Please just roll 1D6 for each unit TIA

Well, it doesn't specify so who knows what the gently caress. I'd just roll 1d6 for a whole unit, but I'm not a typical sperg.

Edit: Honestly, it wouldn't be that hard to figure out AP for each model. Roll one round of dice to figure out AP and then separate a pool of dice which allow armor saves and another that doesn't.

You have to roll 1D6 per shot, because in the rules you have to resolve each hit and wound seperately :goonsay:

For some reason it never dawned on me to use more than one scatter dice after the impact on my quad mortars.
I feel like a dumbass, I've been pulling 12 dice and just rotating the face to how many hits for each flop.

I'm the guy that insists your unit of 10 salamander assault terminators roll each master-crafted attack separately.

No one can explain how to resolve Iliastus assault cannons without rolling them separately. This is absolutely what they intend.
