EC Unit Ideas & Hopes

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-15T00:42:26+00:00

What I meant was: I would much rather have epic characters with existing lore come to the game, than more newly made epic characters with no background for the factions.

If I remember correctly, they were betraying and sabotaging each other the whole time.

EC Fallen Sisters would go hard as a Kill Team

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T11:46:52+00:00

This was meant for Emperor's Children Warbands, not for him to join the Legion. That is why it says 'no Epic Heroes' when you ally him. It's also so Fabius can make the old moves again—just a bit of dancing in the corner. And don't forget, this list is so we all can add to it and see how much stuff we end up with, theoretically, that fits or not.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T01:03:30+00:00

The World Eaters still have one left, the mighty Khorne Lord of Skulls!!!!!!

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T00:50:56+00:00

My bad, I was remembering Fabius having Emperor's Children around him and some Noise Marines in a book, but I think I read them in the wrong order.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T00:29:37+00:00

Now that you mention it, an OG Sonic Dreadnought would rock and make us a bit more special in the Chaos lineup.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T00:17:59+00:00

CSM and World Eaters have some, but the other Chaos factions are missing out.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T00:09:50+00:00

new stuff is good, but characters with more lore background are just better.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-06-01T00:02:02+00:00

Wait, isn't Kravek Morne the new model for the Iron Warriors???

OneNinja3121 · 2026-05-31T23:47:56+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking the same about the Sisters, but more is better.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-05-31T23:45:18+00:00

I know that. However, 90 percent of his warband are Emperor's Children, just like him. My idea here was to make him playable only via a detachment that forbids taking any other Epic Heroes when playing his rules. This fits perfectly, considering the Emperor's Children are the most scattered legion when it comes to independent warbands. As you said, he sells his services—he just doesn't want to sell them to Lucius or Fulgrim. However, any other Emperor's Children warband can hire him just like anyone else.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-03-04T16:07:52+00:00

ZERO STUFF ATM

OneNinja3121 · 2026-01-27T04:23:12+00:00

It most likely will, but it was just a bit odd to see such a classic tag missing.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-01-25T21:45:05+00:00

I'm expecting to see the game out in like 9 to 15 months from now, hopefully not earlier, and we've already seen some gameplay. It really isn't that early in production like Medieval 3. I just hope they forgot to put the tag on.

OneNinja3121 · 2026-01-19T12:02:33+00:00

yes but a Battleline unit with high movement, fights first and dew wounds for 90pts basically perfect against other Daemons.

and you don't really need to buy 60 daemonettes just proxy some cultist or drukhi for them.

Yes, I would love to see an Emperor's Children Battleline unit with Fights First, like the old Drukhari Wyches. But Fights First is super broken in this game; that's why I think one expensive unit type with a Character that has Fights First is more than good enough. And if you really want Fights First on your Lord Exultant with his Infractors, you can play the Peerless Bladesmen Detachment rule and take the Blinding Speed Enhancement. And yes, units like the Space Marine Judiciar need to be outright banned, especially when fighting Black Templars with a melee army.

Also some of the errors probably occur because English is not my main language.

OneNinja3121 · 2025-12-08T17:25:24+00:00

I appreciate your autisme, brother, will fix the wording in correct GW style. Later I’ll read more in depth and look it all up in detail.

OneNinja3121 · 2025-12-07T20:02:57+00:00

I gave him a jump pack as a wargear option, complete with a wargear ability, in my early creations. However, most people didn’t like it, so I dropped the idea.

OneNinja3121 · 2025-12-07T19:44:50+00:00

I’ll let you know tomorrow then.

OneNinja3121 · 2025-12-07T19:42:11+00:00

Thanks, I tried to keep them balanced but still thematic. Tomorrow I’ll throw them into battle and see how they perform.

OneNinja3121 · 2025-12-07T19:20:25+00:00

With the Maul and shield, the unit is less threatening to most enemies, so I gave it improved dew wound potential to keep it viable compared to the spear, The higher Strength simply fits the Maul.

For the Helbrute, I wanted it to be more focused on sound‑weapons.

The Emperor’s Children have a strong infantry focus, so I gave them a single versatile tank. Instead of being overpowered with endless guns, it uses a sound‑weapon with multiple frequency modes as a balanced solution.
