 Are we ever getting multi-part cultists and/or renegade guardsmen?

So I am planning on building up some devastators with multimeltas be cause Salamanders, and I am not quite sure what to build the other guys given there are not enough meltas to go round. Aesthetically I think I would pick heavy bolter, but I am interested to hear other opinions. (I was probably gonna throw them in a drop pod due to short range on the meltas)

I assume the cultists are at least dual pose, like the rest of the BSF baddies.

If you're going to mix weapons, then either a Missile Launcher (for the strat to get mortals on fliers) or Heavy Bolter (to get a mortal on anything) are usually the picks.

More if you just slap the guns on tac squad Marines.

SteelMentor posted:People already datamined a Sisters logo with the filename along the lines of "PA_2" like a minute after the website went up so grain of salt on that list. The Blood Angels being involved somewhere also comes from datamining but its a thing that just makes the map zoom over Baal. If it was just tyranids invading baal again after the last incredibly grueling and emotional sacrifice the blood angels made of several entire chapters that had been in the game from old editions and the tyranids themselves losing their entire fleet to marines and demons it would be a genuine bummer of a retread and a waste of Psychic Awakening as a way to answer old questions and push the storyline forward. I'd be displeased.

Just the rumour that psychic awakening book 2 will be chaos v black templars. And I'm assuming that chaos will get some revamped datasheets and stratagems like they are teasing with the aspect warriors and incubi.

Safety Factor posted:Nah, they'll probably get the separate greater possessed, obliterator, and spider-bot kits though. The Shadowspear set has to be on the way out soon. Maybe that plastic sorcerer that was teased forever ago too. It's been sold out forever. Like, straight up not available unless you find somewhere that just didn't shift theirs.

I haven't been to my FLGS for a good while so maybe it's not available at that level anymore, but I wouldn't know. I did, however, just check the UK store and it's gone so those separate kits have to be coming.

drat Yanks, hoarding all the spiky bois. For serious it would be nice if GW was more consistent with the separate releasing thing. They were pretty on point at first, then over the last few boxes they just keep loving it. How long has it been since Carrion Empire? A good slice of the year for sure and no sign of those two AoS characters.

Harvey Mantaco posted:I actually haven't been paying much attention, have they implied or stated that death guard and whatever other chaos chapters are getting hugs and kisses as well? They haven't, no. However, the new Marines Codex is so, so much more powerful and well rounded, it's practically a .5 upgrade of the game now. I think there's a pretty good understanding that over the next X years all other armies will be brought up to be similar, not only in power, but in complexity/customisation.

So supposedly the IF doctrine is +1 damage with heavy weapons against vehicles and building in devastator doctrine. Their psychic powers are supposedly lackluster, and they have a stratagem for throwing grenades with all members of an intercessor unit. No pictures, so grain of salt and all that.

I have faith they'll do a rework. Like Yeast said, they're going to have to. The new updates are so strong it's a little broken. You can see just how much stronger they are from this battle report from Tabletop Tactics.

You can see just how much stronger they are from this battle report from Tabletop Tactics. Yeah I saw that one. It sort shows off the strengths (massive firepower and incredible durability of IH vehicles) and the weaknesses (lack of mobility since everyone has to stick together for the overlapping bonuses to kick in) of Iron Hands. It was a one sided massacre in favor of the Iron Hands vis a vis who killed what, but the IH only won the game 10-7 on objectives. Against an army that could move around better than the Death Guard can, it's not to hard to conceive of the IH killing 95% of the enemy army...and losing the game on victory points. Tactics against the new IH may be the opposite of the usual rule for Tyrannids. Instead of "Kill the Big Ones" it may well be "Kill the FAST ones" then run around and hide on objective markers all game or something.

Seems like that might be the issue though. They didn't manage to kill any of the IH stuff, as far as I could tell. But that was just Death Guard. I'm sure other armies might have a better time of killing vehicles. We discussed it in the discord, but I'm really looking forward to Death Guard getting another pass. They need it.

moths posted:Does this new WD Index Astartes actually contain Dark Angels rules? No. I saw a screen cap with stratagems and bought it. Turns out the stratagems are specific to a scenario included with a lengthy fluff bit. The fiction piece was well written but it's probably not safe to take anything in there as a hinting at actual new model releases. The fluff includes an express reference to Dark Angels primaris units learning to work along side Centurions. A unit to which the Dark Angels do not have access.  Anyway, there are now multiple members of the Deathwing who are Primaris and Deathwing can wear Mark X armour, not just terminator armour. Which I guess means they've decided to carry forward that little bit of fluff that makes no sense given the number of models which exist of depicting Deathwing members in non-terminator armour.

Which I guess means they've decided to carry forward that little bit of fluff that makes no sense given the number of models which exist of depicting Deathwing members in non-terminator armour.  What models would those be? Company masters, librarians, and interrogator-chaplains?  I wouldn't count the chapter leadership, they get to do what they want and have to fit within the standard companies. Similarly, sergeants can be members of the Deathwing/Inner Circle in the fluff just like any other chapter's veterans going back to the other companies to act as leaders. They are obviously part of a different company at that point and wear armor suitable to their role. The main exception I can think of would be land raider crews and who cares about them? Or dreadnoughts if you want to be super nitpicky. When the actual first company goes to war, it's in terminator armor. and now this gravis bullshit  The robed veteran models aren't Deathwing members. They're a weird ad-hoc formation of veterans within a normal company assembled when they're needed. Basically, they're guys highlighted for potential promotion to the Deathwing, but they're not there yet. Basically, they're a bullshit unit made up to give those models something to slot into instead of just being for command squads, sergeants, etc.
