First time in a long time that I'm happy I got the FW newsletter
They need to get rules up for that new Knight, if the sword is just a D CCW I will be sorely disappointed.
>>34810213
Problem, Wachtmeister?
>>34809269
More like a cover for a Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Ozzy Ousborne do a tribute to ZZ top.
You all have shit taste if you find it beautiful.

You will not say once we rammed it trough your "fortress", Iron warrior heretic.
>>34810384
heretic plz
>>34810384
Beautiful? No. Stylish as fuck? Yes, fuck yes.
>>34810427
Heretic is afraid he could get omnissied badly in the rear port.
>>34810384
There's wrong, just plain wrong, and then there's you
Why do they insist on putting the tracks on backwards?
>>34811490
Style over functionality. They sell toys, not actual tanks.
>>34811564
It looks awful though
>>34811699
Says you.
Many players actually reverse the tracks on their IG tanks.
>>34809223
CHOO CHOO HERETEKS, HERE COMES THE MECHDOZER.
Between this, the funky tanks, and the character FW just released, it's getting harder and harder to resist putting together a small Admech army.

>>34810309
Why did you make me want this so bad?
>>34811815
The rules were posted earlier in the thread; and basically, yes. It's extremely hard to kill, has respectable anti-infantry weapos that can be fired on the move, a large transport capacity, and buffed Tank Shocks/Rams. It's not astoundingly expensive either.
How do you guys even tell the treads are backwards? I'm Googling photos and they are either symmetrical designs on the real tanks and the ones with similar design are just 3d models without a vehicle attached.
>>34811805
Don't forget AV 14 + Flare Shield front.
>>34811814
Orks are an NPC faction
>>34809223
Finally, a Limo worthy to carry my Genestealer Cult.
>>34811864
It is basically all you could want in an assault transport. Except for the ability to bring troops directly into close combat.
And I think this was the design objective. A heavy assault transport that is not a Landraider.
So they made it a landfaring trireme.
And it will be glorious to ram them into enemy units of any size before unloading troops to finish off the survivors.
Now, the real problem here is that people could start and play them as battering rams to go and hunt enemy units without infantry in them. This migth make them really unfun to play against.
>>34812115
Could we housebrew rules about collapsing ruined structures?
It would bring up the market for terrain...
>>34811794
not enough skulls, though
>>34812115
>without infantry in them
>not running a macrotek
>not running a butt ton of enginseer troops with automatas
now these transports are filled with guys that pretty much are guaranteed to fix all the HP. And they aint too shabby in CC either
>>34812115
Is it bad that I'd like to try Admech armoured list?
Krios squadron, Admech Landraiders and everyone and their mother riding around in these?
>>34809223
Anyone else getting a little bit of Giger off this thing?
>>34809223
VVVRRRRRRRN VRRRN VRRRN
>>34809223
It's fucking hideous. They also fucked up the fellblade. Damnit.
At least we have the glorious Sicaran and Raven Guard Contemptor. Pic fucking related.
>>34813477
That tank looks derpy
>>34809223
Although many new models have been shit, I have to say that THAT is fucking metal.
>>34809819
CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS!!!
It demands a bow figurehead, a militant version of the Spirit of Ecstasy or something like that
>>34809223
>>34813477
I dunno. I actually think it's kinda cute.
>>34813242
If you are sure nobody will abuse them for bullshitty bulldozing, alright.
Just pointing out that if a transport is more valuable to the player than the troops it carries, people could get strange ideas.
>>34813453
Giger is a major inspiration for quite a lot of 40k's aesthetics - Nids and Admech in particular use a similar style
>>34810384
My opinion! anyone who disagrees is wrong.
- every retard ever
Now this is the question.
How do we make it Fly?

I cant wait to see this thing modded to have tires, so it looks like a hot rod or limo. Man i could see a Batmobile themed one looking bad ass as well.
>>34811962
It's too much like a tank. Really wish FW would do some proper genestealer cultists.

No, but you would be take D6 St6 AP5 hits.
It looks like someone took a steam train, slapped on some giant tracks and the ore collector thing from the War Miner on it.

Phrasing, boom!
If they release skitarii troops to go with these, I'm going to shit myself and go bankrupt buying these.
>>34815515
Especially if they're priced the same as the Adecularis. £25 for five three-point models...
>>34815140
Those two are easily my favourites so far.
>>34810399
I thought that the Iron Warriors rammed the forces, not the other way around.

The War Miner from Red Alert 2, with veterancy.>>34817850
>>34817850
A resource collector from Command And Conquer: Red Alert 2 that has managed to kill enough shit to reach elite status
>>34817827
I've been in an 8 player game with total kills only. It came down to one player with only an Allied jet pad with 2 jets and me with only a single russian ore miner fully veteraned. Shit was intense
>>34817850
The hardest metal known to man.
>>34809223
Does that Rhino look really boring to you guys? Like unusually boring?
>>34817953
This is not your normal everyday boring. This is advanced boring.

>>34818010
Could have hit random crates.
>>34818010
Enough Conscripts should kill it.
No, that is just unholy wrath that has decided your opponent is the one it's going to shit on today.
Elite Soviet Ore Harvesters are nigh-impossible to kill, they are that bullshit.
Unless I'm remembering wrong, they also repair themselves over time, coupled with bullshit armor/life, they can just...sit there, plinking away at entire armies until they fade away.
>>34817827
>>34817850
Soviet warminer that killed enough dudes to reach veteran status. This usually happens in maps where two players, often AI ones, start on oposite sides of the same gold deposit. The warminer will then roll out into the ore field and do its work, while taking shots at everything that passes through.
The warminer is already one of the toughest units in the game, and it regenerates and it is entirely immune to mind control. The gun on the top is a heavy machine gun and stays that way through the first level of veterancy. When it then reaches max veterancy, it turns into a cannon, that is only surpassed damage wise by the gun of the heaviest tank in the game when it is also at max veterancy, and it fires twice. It also becomes much tougher and it still regenerates. If memory serves me right, the regeneration gained from max veterancy stacks with it's existing regenaration. Kirov airships can't catch it, groups of harriers can't sustain enough damage, neither can rocketeers, so air crafts is entirely out of the question. It is likely to slaughter any number of infantry you can throw at it, even hero units, and only groups chrono legionaries can close in on fast enough to get a shot at it and catch it before they get one shotted, and then it would take them so long that units could arrive from almost any part of the map to kill them before they make it disappear. The entirety of the yuri faction is useless apart from an army of lasher tanks, yuri's base defenses are completely useless. Some sneaky player might try to use terror drones, but the sheer amount of health and regeneration gives it time to drive back to base and wait for the repair building to be build just for it. The only unit to reliably take them out, is an apocalypse tank of equal veterancy or a battle fortress loaded entirely guardian GIs, and even that is a tough fight. Alternately hope for it to drive into a forest of prism towers or tesla coils.

>>34818805
So it is very much the kind of thing you sink 90% of your total economy into killing.
And it's the first unit in the game you can control.
What happens when you have three of them? Does everyone just kinda give up? Even the AI?
>>34819098
"Squad of Four Elite Soviet Warminers Enter Africa, Slaughter EVERY LIVING THING, Begin to mine unimpeded."
Seems about right.
>>34819098
The problem is, its base damage is zip.
Any group of tanks can catch and destroy it before it reaches veterancy.
A Warminer gaining veterancy is a fluke. Normally the Allied Chronominer is much superior as it can just teleport to home base when attacked.
Only in when the Warminer reaches the highest veterancy does it become awesome.
>>34819098
Well if I remember right, it costs 1200-1400 command and conquer money, and has to kill six times that amount of money worth of enemies or buildings. If it gets there, it earned it.
>>34819218
After killing like 40 GIs.
Or 15 vehicles.
>>34819340
42 GIs.

Oh god that brings me back.
My first encounter with an Elite Warminer was a 6 player free for all, total destruction rules.
The one who got it was the first one to be destroyed, he escaped with just his Warminer, Declared "I will Return, and you all shall fall before me." and disappeared off the face of the Earth.
Game progressed, we got sightings of The Dreadminer every now and again, picking off wounded and weak scraps from skirmishes.
Then came the last battle, where we all poured EVERYTHING into one massive clusterfuck against each other.
Then out of fucking nowhere the Dreadminer just comes out of the Shadows behind my base, destroys all that I love and hold dear, disappears again, my forces fall with no back up.
Then he does it again, and again, and again until there are only two people left, then it just sits there and watches as they destroy each other and then just casually drives in and ends it.
Fucking Warminers, man, they haunt me to this day.
>>34813527
because the treads are exposed
pop those things and the tank is dead in the water.
>>34819435
We shall sing the tale of the Dreadminer!
>>34819004
>Player starts off as what is considered the weakest and most pointless class: Warminer pilot.
>It's fucking pathetic, he can't do anything to really help, he just kills like 2 guys each time there's an encounter.
>He never even upgrades his gun, he just keeps that base piece of shit and doesn't spend half of his exp.
>Suddenly, he hits lvl 15 and everyone takes a new look at his stats, his ungodly, impossible stats.

Why the fuck does everyone keep mistaking the tribal tattoos for camo? Seriously it's not that hard to tell apart.
>>34809819
Needs more carriages.
>>34823256
Maybe because it looks like German panzer camo?
>If it's supposed to be tribal tattoos then it's even worse because it looks like a 5-year-old who couldn't draw straight did them with a sharpie...

>>34823585
Wow that sure is a meh tier pattern but at least it looks intentional.
I have a problem with the bad design and not if it's canon or not. It's boring at best and ugly at worst.
>>34823772
It's because this is the sculptor's first non-organic model.
He previously did I think the Dimachaeron (which also looks wonky because it doesn't look like the other Tyranids, the hood looks almost mechanical) the big mouth wyrm and I think the tit troll for WHFB.
>>34823803
Huh, this is actually kinda neat trivia and makes a fair bit of sense. Anyway, thanks for the tip anon!
Tribal tats all but confirms Carcharodons as spinning of Raven Guard but that was already a given

These are the other three models they sculpted. And it's a girl.
>THAT'S WHY SHE SUCKS SO MUCH HUEHEUHUEE
>>34823964
Yeah pretty much the whole HH3 package confirms it. FW loves their pet chapters.
Tribal tattoos are a Terran thing. There should be a couple you can find on Alpha Legion and Imperial Fists too. RG just happen to have a heavy focus on Terran legionnaires due to the whole Corax thing.
i heard people talking about red alert in here

>>34823996
As it says there, Trish Carden (formerly Morrison) sculpted for the main GW ranges before FW. Did so since forever; I recall she was responsible for a ton of WHFB and LotR monsters, though I'm no expert in that department. Pic related is a relatively recent example.
