Or Death Korps Platoon Command HQs will be able to take standards in Imperial Armour v5. Hurf.

Chosen Man · « **Reply #301 on:** January 12, 2007, 06:31:07 PM »

Also remember that while it isn't common....JOs can command HQ Platoons too. I do like that new Executioner tank turret. Not too impressed with the Exterminator.

I'll probably end up using them. A battery can put out 12 blast templates a turn for 180 pts, not to shabby, although I wish it was more than S5 AP5...

Seconded - those things are ****ing savage.... saw 3 full batteries get used on an ork footslogging army (along with a high commander with 2 staff officers); I believe 'splat' is the appropriate term. Let's just say that the turn 3 reload was irrelevant......

I like the look of the Thudd Gun and the newer Kreig models. Now I have made up my to spend my drill pay on some Thudd. I think the equation will go like this: Nids + Receiving end of Thudd Gun fire = Splat

variants of the demolisher and annihilator russ versions are now on the website too!

Valhalla114 · « **Reply #305 on:** February 3, 2007, 04:50:41 PM »

That demolisher looks very nice but the Annihilator is still constrained to one main weapon rule if moved. Either way if parked then two lascannons shots would be quite impressive.

I saw that heavy Mortar in combat the other day...Just one. It is a nice peice of equipment, Riped through my Raterial Guard.

Pics for the People!

I love the look of the model. Forgeworld have made it cost a few points too many though, for the number of lascannons you can put on it.

lasblaster · « **Reply #308 on:** February 4, 2007, 04:25:02 AM »

I agree, especially when I can get three lascannons in a support squad for cheaper. Drop the cost, and allow demolisher sponsons on it so the heavy bolter shots aren't always wasted and it would be good. Damn fine looking model, though, just like the rest of the death korps tanks.

Parak · « **Reply #309 on:** February 4, 2007, 08:38:28 AM »

It's pretty, but I dont think it has a valid role in game. Just doesnt have the punch needed. I agree it need to be allowed to have the demolisher sponsons to be effective. Then again, I've never bought forgeworld goodness for the rules. I mean I own a executioner!

I'd sooner get the new demolisher!

Goyder · « **Reply #310 on:** February 4, 2007, 08:49:08 AM »

Very nice. Very nice indeed. I am definatly going to pick that tank becuase it looks very, very beslubbering awesome. As a tread headm I definatly need to get that tank.

Srsly.

It's my birthday tommorow. Anybody who gets me that tank wins a promotion to "beslubbering awesome guy".

Srsly.

Harrison · « **Reply #311 on:** February 4, 2007, 08:55:10 AM »

I must say the Annihalator is a beautiful looking tank, IG-wise, but like Parak said it lacks that punch required to be a good tank. That being said, I might convert my own just for fun. And as for the Thudd gun. I'm tempted to convert a more American version for my Armenthians.

I wish FW would sell conversion kits instead of making us spend the money on a mars pattern hull. I've heard good and bad stories about the hull, also I don't really want that hull. I'm happy with the standard Phaeton pattern, which means I'll be converting this tank unless I run into a Turret by itself somewhere out there. I'm also curious to see where this tank will fall in the A/C Scheme of things. Nothing is mentioned in the rules about what FOC spot it takes in the A/C army list. My first thought was also on why not Plasma Sponsons, this tank screams having those options. The HB are basically useless on this thing. Oh well, one less weapon I have to spend points on to add sponsons too. Still if you add this with the Executioner, they make for some Fluffy Adaptus Mech tanks in a Skitarrii(Sp.) theme army. Hmmmmmm....Thoughts!

The new demolisher is a HUGE improvement on the GW Stumpy Version. I like it a lot, but once again FW has denied us with a conversion kit. ARGH!!! FW You disappoint once again, stop feeding us the Overstock(Obvious reason for this being the way it is now) Mars Hull pattern only!

Sorry to disappoint Goyder, but this tank is still on Pre-Order....gonna miss your Birthday buddy! Maybe Next Year!

Valhalla114 · « **Reply #313 on:** February 4, 2007, 12:36:53 PM »

You guys do realize that the annihilator is a waste of money right? If you own a Exterminator then youre set. Anyways I think the guns on that model look quite puny. Exterminator cannon is a 5 dollar bit on the gw website.

And yes, I am in love with the new Demolisher.

And yes, I am very disappointed that FW wont sell just the turrets. Im not terribly impressed with the hull mounting for weapons. They look kinda ghetto. Its a good thing to finally be able to mount heavy bolters on russes, but at what price to the consumer. A 48 pound tank is ridiculous. For that I can get about 4 leman russes on Ebay. At the rate that I could build an army with FW pieces i build about 3 with plain GW ones. I understand some models like super heavies and titan models are out of bounds for lowly 40k players but the basic elements of our armies are economically slipping through our finger tips.

And I love the Krieg Vanquisher cannon >>>>> (much more) than any other style.

[dixon] · « **Reply #314 on:** February 4, 2007, 04:04:21 PM »

You don't NEED to buy FW to play the game. So don't whine if it's expensive.

Andro Ist Keine Schwedischen · « **Reply #315 on:** February 4, 2007, 07:33:49 PM »

The Annihilator fills a nice little gap in our tank range. I really like it, and if they made it an official tank I'd probably get one for my army.

Especially if it's an Armoured Company, and it can be one of my Tank Aces.

sorry, i got bored of reading after the third page, so if this has already been asked, sorry.

can you guys give me a link to the rules that i would use for the Death Korps. I have been thinking of starting guard, and they are the perfect models!

The only rules that exist for DKoK is the Doctrine list at the end of the current IG Codex. The new armylist won't be published until the next IA Book(IA5). Which is estimated to be realsed this coming Fall/Winter
