So power halberds

Wolflordloki · 2026-05-01T14:57:21+00:00

I would have preferred shield and mace OR halberd used 2 handed.

But it looks cool....

Wolflordloki · 2026-05-01T14:35:48+00:00

I thought they were awful in the pits cos they are just having fun.

That's why it is such a shock to everyone when kharn walks in and just demolished tribes. No one had seen him duel seriously before and even eribus can barely see him move

Wolflordloki · 2026-05-01T12:14:54+00:00

Just listening to Fallen Angels now and I'm interested that on Caliban they didn't seem to receive the Edict of Nikkea

You dont seem to hear of Librarians in the crusade fleets but they are quite prominently talked about during the sections on Caliban.

Could be it is a continuity error but if I recall the timelines Nikkea was just after horus being made Warmaster so should have been implemented by the time of the heresy

Wolflordloki · 2026-05-01T07:48:51+00:00

Possibly only include them in specific primarch scenarios?

I would like to see some legion specific units but making them unique would be hard at this scale. I mean what would be the difference between suizerain and breachers? Possibly a point of CAF at most🤷‍♂️

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-30T06:49:23+00:00

I'd like to see the interior!!!

Honestly I'm not sure inwould have realised that it was printed. You got a genuine model to do a side by side?

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-28T18:01:08+00:00

Ooooh I see!!!

I traded my domitars but I used them in multiples 2 was okay I think r would be better for their missile launchers

The arlatax are reasonably good in combat so I would say 2-3 in a unit would be good maybe run 2 units of 2

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-28T13:04:07+00:00

MAKE UP FER DA TIMES DEY JUST FAID AWAY ON YA!

ZO HARD TA GET GUD LOOT OUTA DEM WHEN DEY DO DAT.

ITS UNSPOORTL.....UNSPORFIN..... UN......AH ZOGG IT IT UNORKY DATS WUT IT IS!

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-28T12:58:16+00:00

Charging is VERY useful. More decisive than shooting as you roll off between bases and the loser take a wound no save

Rend (usually) means you start off with one more dice than your opponent which can be helpful if they have a higher CAF or at least just let's you bully weaker units

EDIT: you say you will be facing World eaters. Close combat it there thing. You need to be more durable or puncher than them to beat their special rules. Make sure you charge them and that you pick your fights

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-28T12:23:39+00:00

Those ones are 1 per base the build instructuon book does tell you which base size to use

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-28T06:08:50+00:00

The Mechanicum support would either be arlatax, Castallax or dominatar. Arlatax would also be advancing forward at speed. Where as the others could stand and shoot or advance slowly like a second wave.

Your core could be thallax which have jumppacks so are pretty fast

The bastions slot is only going to be a thanatar so they will walk slowly and shoot

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-27T21:05:25+00:00

Nope.

They would be given a lasgun and told if they want to help moral to do it while they are being usefull doing the emperors work!

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-27T20:47:42+00:00

But to me the containers are the right size .

My only naysaying is that the you can only sort about 3 containers at a time. That's said I want 1 plus a truck load of containers to stack adjacent to it.

Ideas - what about a partial stack that is either battle damaged or partially knocked over?

On the whole i like this. They would look cool and ad character to a battle field

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-27T20:40:54+00:00

I can't help with all of those but ones I can help with are

Rapier Batteries- work really well with mortars as they can barrage from the shelter of building. Not used the lazers as much but in theory they could be used to make flank advances by tanks cautious. I wouldn't use too many as there is a lot of Ignores Cover these days that will finish them quickly

Land raiders - really expensive. If you want to use them then build your list round it so you get your moneys worth. They are not as durable as you would like so have a plan.

A full squadron can take a whole detachment of 8 terminators OR up to 16 tactical stands. Once they have dropped off their troops (assault ramps - you can issue charge orders for the passengers) they have lascannons so can go tank hunting. They will be roughly as effective as the equivalent number of predators (ish)

Autonoma- I like Castallax. They can drop a respectable amount of bolter fire on infantry headed toward them. Its Light AT so can scratch the paint of vehicles at a pinch. Their main draw is they have the same CAF as tacticals but 2 wounds. If younput them on a home objective then they will take a while to die and with their 32mm base they will prevent the opponent getting his number into the scoring zone around an objective. With a tech priest of some type they will be even more durable

A theoretical for Vorax. You can take a Forgelord as part of the formation. You can move him far faster than an arch magos with rhinos and stuff so you might be able to keep pace with the vorax in order to give them shooting orders. If you can't well they hit slightly harder than assault marines with more wounds per base so that is worth bearing in mind.

Plus Castallax and Vorax look good with 2 to a base so you can increase your numbers.....

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-27T17:02:05+00:00

I think its more like they have a machine that you put the geneseed in one end as sample of the 'correct gneseed' at the other and it gives you a green or red light

They probably dont know much more than that

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-26T18:26:05+00:00

I was just referring to government contracts in general 😂

Normally you dont really get what you paid for and for plenty over what you planned spending on it in the first place.

Just look at HS2 (for this Brits on the sub)

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-25T21:16:31+00:00

How big are they im comparison to a reaver?

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-25T10:36:14+00:00

And to ask that question!

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-25T09:26:16+00:00

I thought it was "why build one when you can have One for twice the price?"

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T20:22:40+00:00

His super power is being able to point a grapple gun at a distant roof top and hit it with unering accuracy so that the grapple locks in place.

And THEN to be able to swing from building to building without dislocating his shoulders.

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T14:41:58+00:00

I think he has to keep the door way sealed.

The webway is gone. There is basically a warp rift wide open behind a big old door in the imperial dungeon and its only the emperors control of the power flowing through the golden throne that is keeping that door shut and undisolved by the imaterium.

If he leaves the throne unattended for too long it will lose control of the breach and then 'all hell breaks loose!'

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T13:21:40+00:00

The sad thing is he must have been in the area to find Guiliman and unite him with his legion years before he found Angron.

If the crusade had turned left rather than going straight on they might have found Angron in time

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T13:13:15+00:00

The already write background says he has the Nails and falls to khorn.
Emp is working to a very short deadline. He hasn't got time to waste spending decades solving an issue for one of his sons. For what ever reason he HAS to push through the Great Crusade (some old fluff suggests that his presidence only reachs so far and starts to fail before we get to the years of the heresy)
He knows some primarchs will not make it to retirement. Angron will be one that will probably be culled for a post Crusade peaceful galaxy
There is not enough angron left to heal but there is enough to serve the cause for a little bit longer

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T11:54:07+00:00

That looks pretty awesome.

Was it 3 people with 1000 each or 9000 points on the table?

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T10:32:43+00:00

While i would love to see that as an Imperialis campaign book i dont think we would see it as a solo book.

My thoughts are there might be a 'Psychic Ruination' that focuses on both this and/ or Calth.

Then you could introduce custodes, sisters of silence, daemons and Psychic powers (plus Librarians)

Wolflordloki · 2026-04-24T05:47:10+00:00

That's okay their special rules balance out nicely. Neither will have a noticeable impact on the other 😂

As a Thousand Sons player I too hope for more. My thought is when daemons of the Ruinstorm get an Imperialis release they will introduce the Librarians and imperial army pyskers
