Guard Rumours!!

Check out this stuff

If my beloved Russes are that powerful again, never again will we see Basilisks I believe...

Valkyrie coming out too :smile:

And if the 4pt guardsman rumour holds, I will be a very very happy Guard player soon :smile:

I am actually giddy now, lol

While I didn't spend that much time on each of mine, I can sympathize with the price...

Nine Leman Russes that can move and fire all weapons, backed up my 4-points-apiece Guard who can move and shoot and still fire when they go to ground.

I am officially afraid of Imperial Guard.

Russes had better cost as much as a Land Raider...

Re: Guard Rumours!!

These rumours seem to make guard a real force to be reckoned with. I imagine there are a number of limitations in play to balace it out a bit. I always used Russes anyway, so them getting better just makes me happier. and if they can move and fire all weapons, a demolisher with multi-meltas or heavy flamers suddenly becomes very useful.

Maybe Russ's will just become lumbering vehicles (always able to fire everything, unable to move more than 6" a turn)--which would be a proper balance IMHO.

I don't want to sound like a little whining sissy, but... does anyone other than me think nine AV14 tanks that can fire all weapons (including battle cannons) in one army list is... a bit overpowered?

Re: Guard Rumours!!

I guess its just a way that GW is trying to get people to buy up Guard, like the tanks look AWESOME but like people have stated, u really think soomeone is gonna sit there and paint like 200+ guardsmen...it'll be pretty awesome to see but that a BUTT TONE of guys and lots of time put into it....i know the tanks are lean and mean, and the characters have good posing but generic stuff just looks really bland!

Hence my comment about them having a hefty price tag. In a way, they're tougher than a land raider simply because they don't have to get any closer than 36"(24" for a demolisher) to be at maximum potency. They are able to avoid all the powerfists anb melltaguns needed to crack AV14 more easily. Yes, it may be overpowered, but hopefully they will cost an arm and a leg for the fact that they'd be a Baneblade without structure points.
