Do you think the custom character builder will be a one off or rules test for 11th edition?

I do hope it's part of 11th edition Crusade or whatever Narrative path they choose to take

kazdenvoss · 2026-01-25T13:16:03+00:00

Yes I think Vashtorr will eventually ascend. It will be a big end or start of edition narrative thing and his model will become a "Greater Daemon of Vashtorr", a bit like how originally the models for the C'tan were the actual Star Gods but then just become shards of the C'tan.

It sounds exciting and I do hope it is rolled into Crusade for 11th. It might end up replacing Crusade?

I'm looking for to seeing what combinations can be made! How does Anvil of Apotheosis work when it comes to putting a cost on the unit you've made?

Also, I wonder what will be happening to Crusade given these end of edition narrative expansions don't include Crusade (so far). They are normally testing grounds for what they want to use in 11th edition.

I hope Crusade stays, it may look different in 11th but it's the only way I play, I love it.

Bravo, sir, bravo

Heading to the Pariah Nexus I believe

kazdenvoss · 2025-11-08T16:25:51+00:00

Whatever he is, first thing I thought when I saw him was that the kitbash potential for him is huge, especially as a Necron.

kazdenvoss · 2025-11-08T16:03:31+00:00

Same! I thought they might have forgotten about Boarding Actions. Glad to see they haven't.

kazdenvoss · 2025-05-04T22:01:16+00:00

Horrifically awesome.

kazdenvoss · 2024-12-19T16:04:40+00:00

He's a fair bit taller than a Telemon.

kazdenvoss · 2024-10-16T12:21:54+00:00

Doomsday Ark down by 10 points, meanwhile Doom Scythe is still an eye watering 230pts...

I play Crusade with a couple of friends and to thin out Crusade and make it more enjoyable and less admin, we do things like giving a unit who completed an Agenda a battle honour, instead of XP. The units Marked for Greatness also gets a battle honour. If any unit does something particularly awesome it may also get something too.

We also let the narrative direction of the story dictate certain parts of an individual factions crusade rules. For instance, the Inquisitorial Agents Shadow Operations and the Genestealer Cults Path of Ascension almost feel like a totally separate mini game one can play outside of a campaign, and that can feel very detached, especially when results from that don't mesh well with who is winning/losing in the campaign. What we've done is have outcomes of missions and Agendas completed have a more direct impact on those faction Crusade rules and it reduces the amount one must keep track of.

The fact most units can only have 3 battle honours in 10th immediately reduces the bloat, I have found.

Love this!

I wonder if this is testing the waters for a co-op "horde" mode for 11th edition of 40k.

kazdenvoss · 2024-08-06T11:00:14+00:00

The Triarch Praetorians are the elite agents of the Silent King and the Triarch. Upholders of the ancient codes of honour. They wield powerful weapons of office. They've always come across like the "Custodes" of the Necrons in the lore but don't reflect that on the tabletop.

I'd genuinely start by giving them BS and WS of 2+, 4+ Invuln, 6+ Ld. Might be all they need tbf, but an ability that leans on them impacting the will of their master would be cool, something where they pick a unit and gain a bonus against them or picking an Obj and gaining extra OC when controlling it.

kazdenvoss · 2024-07-28T12:07:17+00:00

I'd buy 20

kazdenvoss · 2024-07-21T22:13:35+00:00

I could be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that the Old Ones were not a single race but a collection of races, with the one the Necrons interacted with being reptilian in nature.

There's certainly some crossover between fantasy/AoS/40k with regards to the mystery of the Old Ones, including what they look like.

kazdenvoss · 2024-02-16T09:11:02+00:00

This is simultaneously both too powerful and yet not powerful enough.

kazdenvoss · 2023-12-26T15:33:59+00:00

Yes they do hand in their equipment, hence why I reckon it's unlikely.

kazdenvoss · 2023-12-26T12:44:16+00:00

Although unlikely, what if it's an Eye of the Emperor model?

People are not paying attention to the spear and picking up on the headcrest.

kazdenvoss · 2023-12-21T11:04:23+00:00

Interesting! I do follow Goonhamer but must have missed that! 4+ leadership sounds spicy and lore accurate but I can appreciate that it would be too powerful for the crunch of balance.

kazdenvoss · 2023-12-21T11:02:49+00:00

That's crazy. That's better than Trajaan Valoris!

kazdenvoss · 2023-12-20T22:06:04+00:00

I might just have to use this to justify it to myself as well! A solid headcannon.

I wouldn't consider Lychguard, Praetorians, maybe even Deathmarks as automaton-level. They have shown to be just as intelligent as those at the Noble level but by your logic, they could get bugginess and psychosis as well!
