***EDIT  PM or Email me (Mark.Horseman@usask.ca) Your list before hand***

Im a noob... But where do the imperial knights fall under here, or are they not allowed? (Im not taking one, just getting a feel of what's expected)...
Does anyone have "lords of war" that they are planning to blow all their points on?

Imperial Knights use their own FoC, provided in their Codex, and do not take up a Lord of War slot.

I might be tempted to take a Transcendent C'Tan.

I'm really tempted to play a stompa with that Forge world mek boss.

People have Baneblades and such.

Here's a pro-tip though... you may be coughing up much needed points should your opponent not take one! I'll post a reminder of the bonus warlord traits later (if you don't have a Lord of War, but your opponent does, you get a free trait).

Also, you get a VP for each 3 HP/Wounds taken by the Lord of War.

But they are super resilient are they not? I mean, I couldn't drop a unit of melta peeps behind one and nuke it with 6 melta guns could I?

I would love to blow that up.

You totally could. Infact, that'd be likely.

They're armoured like most vehicles, they take a HP for each Glancing or Penetrating hit. If they suffer an "Explodes" result, they take an additional D3 Hullpoints instead of dying. When they blow up, they use the super large apoc blast template, with S D in the middle (modified as per above for this event) and lesser as you radiate out further.

If you had 6 melta guns, 4 hits, 3 pens, you'd likely not kill it just yet, but could well do!

They ignore AP 1/2 weapons for the +1/+2 on the pen chart?

I will be bringing a mega blast template with me to the event to cover the eventuality that one of those buggers pops.

You would have to make it into my bracket first =)

Matthew G wrote:They ignore AP 1/2 weapons for the +1/+2 on the pen chart?

I'd have to double check, but I don't think so. The only thing they ignore are scarabs dropping their AV. (They're still susceptible to lances even)

*digital signups available*

hey mark, it's a 30k model, but since its something most marine players have been asking for for years like the knight titans, would you allow people to field a Fellblade as their Lord of War? it doesn't come with any D weapon options, just alot of Ordnance-type guns.  for reference, this is what one would have:

Fellblade
525pts
BS 3
FA 14
SA 13
RA 12
HP 12

Guns:
Turret mounted, Twin Linked, Fellblade Accelerator Cannon
2 Sponson-mounted Quad Lascannons
1 Hull Mounted, Twin-linked, Heavy Bolter
1 Hull mounted Demolisher Cannon

ignoring all 30k exclusive wargear options, it would also have the following options:
replace the Quad Lascannons for Laser Destroyers - FREE
replace the Heavy Bolter for a Heavy Flamer - FREE
upgrade BS 3 to BS 4 - +15 Points


Weapon Stats:
Fellblade Accelerator Cannon (2 firing modes)
HE SHELLS - Range 100"; Str 8; AP 3; Ordnance 1, 7" Blast, Primary Weapon
AP SHELLS - Range 100"; Str 9; AP 2; Heavy 1, Armourbane, 3" Blast, Primary Weapon
Quad Lascannon
range 48"; Str 9; AP 2; Heavy 2, Twin-linked
Laser Destroyer
Range 36"; Str 9; AP 1; Ordnance 1, Twin-linked

Is it in Forgeworlds list of "Approved for Escalation" things?

(I'll edit in the list when I find it)

Lords of war-FW


No 30k listed sadly Mike.

Sorry Mike, no 30k this time around! I have to check all the lists, the formations & dataslates are tough enough as it is.

Your'e supposed to know all the rules, Mark. GOSH!

So.... uhh... how do you like the digital signup form?

It's hilarious and all, but I'm not married to it.

I see no prob with the Fellblade. It's allowed as a LoW model according to IA:Vol2 2nd ed. for a 40k marine list. It's basically a fancy Baneblade. If anything the main gun is a bit less scary than the BB's gun in a way.

I see it there, feel free Mike. (edit: take note, if it dies, you're coughing up 4 VPs!)

I may have to add 3 more sternguard with c-meltas... GO GO 9 C-melta squad of DOOOOOOOM.... Im bound to break it right? (If I can join, still working that detail out).

For the purposes of clarification, an army that takes a Lord of War and a Stronghold fortification is at the 3 source cap, yes?

Also, do we have an agreed upon size for shield generators yet? So far I've been hearing that they should be scaled similarly to a vengeance weapons battery.

Lord of War (Escalation) and Stronghold Fort are both sources, so combined with a single army is your 3 source limit. No allies or detachments for you!
