They don't include instructions? Infantry I could see not really needing instructions, but what about vehicles or more complicated models like the heavy weapons you mentioned? Are all the kits devoid of instructions? They don't come with bases either correct?

If models use bases, they will come with bases. As for the instructions, most vehicles like LR Variants use standard LR build instructions, the turrets are usually one piece, and the other items are simple enough to build with regular GW kit instructions + FW instructions + IAV5 Images.

my LR vanquisher complete kit did not even include the LR instructions as it was out of box sprues, luckily i had one from the 4 i sold earlier. my Macharius only has pictures to go by, no instructions.

even so the larger models are done in such a way that you dont really need instructions. my Macharius is really only 5 large pieces which you can plainly see where they go. the little extras you can identify by the 360 views of the tank.

I have never had any problems with any FW LR Tank. LR Are simple enough to build as it is, as for the Macharius and Malcador again they are simple enough to build since the tank bodies are usually big enough pieces to figure out. Besides I don't think FW offers LR instructions with their tanks, since GW no long uses an instruction sheet and just give you instructions on the box itself. Other items like Baneblades, Titans and Thunderhawk Gunships need more detailed instructions, which FW provides.

My Death Korps Leman Russ tanks came with the regular instructions, but that's just me.

No, they were in a FW box.

My Krieg army will be in two versions... a "siege" style reminesisant of IA5.....
..... and a version to where I am just using the models and the codex in a "codex guard army". one idea for that part is i'm using armegeddon steel legion as my conscripts. with a white stripe down the top of their helmets.

Heh! About time FW put out a new letter...and we got some new toys! Fist off the quartermaster....

I like the uniform....very death like!

I like the pose of him pulling out his last pistol too....looks great! The servitors look nice, but I think they would look good with an Inq too.

Now this is SWEET!!! Vulcan Megabolters YEAH BABY!!! TL too! Talk about the ultimate Exterminator! If you love the exterminator, you gotta love this variant....WOW if I have to get a Mach this might be just what I might invest in.....

NOTE: Renaming post, since this seems to be a general FW Discussion post now that DKoK is out....Continue and Enjoy!

And just in case all those shots ain't enough, there's a pintle mounted heavy stubber too!

Good stuff.

Locarno · « **Reply #589 on:** September 12, 2007, 04:40:46 AM »

Heh....pintle heavy stubber, prow twin heavy stubber, and paired sponson heavy bolters. And a vulcan.

Heh! Hell yeah! 28 shots worth almost all at AP3 too! (Vulcans+2 HB+1 Stubber+1 TL Stubber+1 H/K)....I'll take it!

it's an orgasmatic weapon, but it's way too modern for the IWW style of DKoK.
I 'd love to see a LRor a vulture equipped with it, if only they would sell the turret separately.

I wounder why S6 AP 3 when a Heavy Boler is S5 AP4+ ...

Bigger bullets? By the looks of them, the barrels are a noticeably higher caliber

Well, Forgeworld rules were originally (and, to my knowledge, still are) designed by tweaking the outputs of the Vehicle Design Rules (VDR). Under VDR, the "mega" upgrade improves the AP and the S of a weapon by 1.

The 15 shots, on the other hand, is a departure from the VDR rules, which would give, at most, 3D3 shots.

Yeah the "old" VDR rules for the Megabolter are going to be changed for the new offical stats. I just got back from the GW shop in my area and talking to people that have seen the new Apocalypse rules....the new rules for the VMB in this version of the Macharius are the new stat line for the Apocalypse version....so no more Rending for the VMB.

Locarno · « **Reply #596 on:** September 13, 2007, 03:31:01 AM »

So no taking out tanks. Fair enough. The almost obscene ability to destroy space marines should make up for....whoa, whoa, wait..hang on.

A warhound can pack a pair of these. Heavy 30?
Ulp.

That makes even the Baal's Big Brother look puny.

Good. Vulcan Mega BOLTERS should never of had rending in the first place. Fine if it was a Vulcan Assault Cannon, but it isn't.

Though 15 shots is a bit over the top, I think. Expect to see whole Marine Squads disappear every turn this thing is on the table.
