Topic: FW IG (BG, D-99, DKoK, EDT, R&H) & FW IG Gear

It seems to make sense to give the Macharius two structure points instead of three, but the gorgon has three structure points, and they are on the same chassis, even though the Gorgon is a bit bigger. Just a thought.

Kind of sad that the rules won't be out until IA5. I agree with you though CDS, they're unlikely to release the rules when they're this close (although still not that close) to releasing the next Volume. The Gorgon was out long before this though, so it's not too surprising that its rules are already out. I guess I'll have to borrow someone else's copy again.

Yeah, I just pre-ordered a Macharius.

Kickin' rad.

[Cpl. Lee]

nicely done nubis! 

think im gonna pre-order mine for conflict north at the end of may. then again some new sexy stuff might be out then.

due to me just moving in with my girlfriend, finances are a little difficult right now, so im having to look at get this, ONE or THE OTHER  . that is, along with the 3 thudd guns i plan on and a CRM artillery squad for a heavy wep platoon HQ... 

not something i usually do - i'm sure markay'll agree. its a real pain in the ass for me though!!!

aaaanyway, getting back to the renegade militia, im tempted to start a little force with some of the leftover renegade models i got. perhaps the more 'chaos looking' torsos might be better - and ive already made some alpha legion marines, tricky eh?

A snipet from Games Day France with some information for those interested in the Traior Guard.

ForgeWorld.
No new modles but we were able to go through the of imperial Armour 5.
Lots of Fluff as usual, around 10 pages on the Dark Angels organisation, in full colour. Then the Renegade army list.... basically you take the Imperial Guard codex, use randomised leadership, add a few new units (those ogrins) and bobs your uncle a new non-imerial human army list. And yes for all those tau players you can use the list like the Kroot Merc list. (oh they have access to the baneblade).

[Chosen Man]

oh they have access to the baneblade

OOOOOO!!! I'm liking this list more! Heh Heh Heh! I expected this might happen, but its still awesome to see.

What!? Now, I wonder how it would feel like to be playing that list...

[Col.Gravis]

The question you have to ask yourself with that is how long till they release a conversion pack for Traitor Baneblades (etc)?

I expect we should see something after IAV5 is printed. Something that will have a bunch of chaosy upgrades and icons perhaps. Hmmmmmm Armorcast Chaos Baneblade!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Macharius also gets a chaos facelift kit too. We've already seen the Malcador will get to be a chaos tanks too.

What!? Now, I wonder how it would feel like to be playing that list...

Heh! Yeah Imperials taking Banebalde fire from a force other then their own.....Heh Heh Heh! Irony after all these years of people whining why imperials only have baneblades

[Talon Undecided]

Just don't tell me that the Chaos Baneblades can get all those Chaos vehicle upgrades, that'll hurt a lot.

I'd doubt it.  Guard Traitors hardly have the favour of the Gods that Chaos Space Marines do.

Probably correct, theres something of a prescedant in the Eye of Terror codex, the Guard vehicles listed there took upgrades from the Guard codex, though that said this is likely to be more of an independent/self contained list I suppose so it's not impossible.

[[dixon]]

If they are included, they'd need new points values adjusted for Super Heavies, as almost all the options worth taking from the Chaos Codex on a Baneblade would be worth far more than their listed price in Codex: Chaos Space Marines.

lets keep this on topic

this is a DKOK thread, lets keep it that way

does anyone think that FW will modify the imperial navy range for the death korps? (just an interesting idea)

[Valhalla114]

I dont understand what you mean by an Imperial range. You mean like fighters with DKOK style planes / pilots?

I hardly doubt it because armor / infantry are usually separate from navy / air forces. Elysians being an exemption because they represent something completely different.

Actually this is a Forgeworld thread, not exclusively DKOK.

[Col.Gravis]

Well the title is still DKoK but it's come to be discussing all related IG releases in the Siege of Vraks - they may be 'Traitor' Guard but the army is still based heavily on IG - I don't see that as being as issue as it's all related but if a Mod wants us to cease an descist I'm sure that would'nt be a problem.

Heh! I find it most humorous that you come in here telling us to stay on subject, yet you inject a comment about the Imperial Navy....how is that any different from our discussion about Baneblades....

This post was created intially to discuss the aspects of the DKoK, but as IAV5 has developed it has come to include the Traitor Guard that will also be released with IAV5. So this post is really now about....IAV5 IG(DKoK AND CRM) Gear, Rules, and Armylist and anything else IG related to this release....That should settle any issues about what is being discussed here...

CARRY ON!

And from someone who doesn't even play Imperial Guard or Chaos no less.  I love laughing at backseat mods.

It seems that at least the Malcador will have a Chaos version, and I wouldnt be surprised to see more than that.  After all, they did make them Renegade Tank Commanders.

[Lord of Winter and War]

I am very much tempted now to go for the rengade army, I would love the idea of having the chaos I love with big tanks.

Yeah I love the whole process this army is going thru, which is why I have already begun collecting and painting CRM models. I even got a game in last weekend with my initial army list that I made from the IG Codes. I'm tempted to swap out one of my initial Exterminators for a Malcador, but I will have to wait till IAV5 is published to see what the rules for the tank will be. If it will be a regular tank or a Super Heavy.

I already got 2 sets of tank commanders and I like the models a lot. Can we say Chaos Armor Company! Hmmmmm Exterminators, Malcadors, and LRMBTs!
