Or orks for that matter... am torn between either this or a contemptor for my thousand sons, or a wraithseer for my iyanden eldar, (If I got that, I would have to buy the book as I have a warp hunter.)Originally Posted by wilsonian
I'm really fond of this and finally FW releasing something not pre-heresy and not imperial

Anyone else think that the head looks rather "thousand sons"y?
Well, I've decided I'm ordering one, question now is what arms to get...

The Host of the Maggot King - A Nurgle WoC PLog
It looks like how I envisioned some of Kelbor Hal's Dark Mechanicus units in Mechanicum. Not everything used by Chaos has to be Legion affiliated.
It was a footnote compared to the dread, but can I just put out a big WTF for the pricing on the blast doors? I have never complained about any FW pricing and went to bat for the cost of the Zone Mortalis tiles as being a better value than any other commercially availble product or scratchbuild, but for the amount of doors one would reasonably want on even the smallest ZM tables...I could buy a second table's worth of ZM tiles.
I feel exactly the same way. But then again, I don't like the rules for doors in ZM anyway.
Looks like it would be good as a Chaos Titan in EPIC.

I was thinking of getting a IIB Land raider for my Thousand sons, but after seeing it's price, no way. I can remember when it was about £30.

Sure that wasn't when the kit came with just the resin parts and not the Land Raider as well?
Just bought the new Flyrant and now I see this
Damn
Seriously... I need that Chaos Engine. Will there be a chaos contemptor though?

Now I really regret modelling my Word Bearers army with the Warmachine-style bases...
£35 for this beauty... I'll think about getting it.
With regards,

Im just glad they finally gave Khorne players something that isnt crippled with the Rage rule! Simply because of that, I'll be getting this.
Take note FW/GW, stop making units with Rage, its stupid!
Noise Marines
Rage could be an interesting USR if the affected unit didn't have to chase the nearest enemy unit and/or granted extra attacks in cc. As it stands however, agreed.
With regards,
Dan.
Awesome looking model, dunno if it was brought up yet but I bet those weapons could also be used to change the contemptor into it's chaos variant.

Quantity is a quality all of it's own.
Fawful: Looks like it, though you would have to buy another seperate arm just for the joint part

I was just on FW Facebook page and noticed that someone asked if they were going to do god spacific decimator models. The answer FW gave was that they had no plans to do any.
With an additional nine quid per arm...
A Chaos Wintermute
Seems to be the default Daemonic possession indicator, it's not all that different to the chained up hatch on the back of the "body" portion of the Defiler either. Jam a guy in there, say the magic words and put the padlock on...presto, one enraged Daemonic entity trapped in a big robot shell.
From the Catalogue blurb
"Inquisitorial savants do not know for sure what malefic party is responsible for this sinful innovation"
From the Rules PDF
"....in the dark void beyond the borders of the Imperium, some unknown source, it is believed, barters these dread killing machines for a high price in blood, plunder and souls."
Which to me sounds incredibly like the Masters of the Soul Forge, the creators of the Soul-Grinders. Who some believe are affiliated with the Dark Mechanicus themselves.
The PDF also mentions the "Sepktraal Cult" as a possible source for the Decimators.
It has me wondering if the Decimator isn't an early peek of that rumoured Tzeench/Penal Guardsman AI we heard about a little while ago....
Anyway. Finances permitting I'll be looking to pick one of these up, it'll bulk out my Daemons really nicely, even if the Chaos Marines Codex does turn out to be a load of old guff.

Brimstone. Gone but not forgotten.
I actually like the Decimator and its rules. At first the head was a bit off in my eyes, but its grown on me. What I am not impressed with is the weaponry. The siege claws are alright, and the laser weapon looks close to the wellness cluster on the Blight Drone, so its a nice tie in. However, the Butcher Cannon just looks plain lazy to me. I had envisioned an even more intimidating Kheres Assault Cannon, so that's what I intend on using. I can definitely see some fun Dark Mechanicus themed lists with these, Contemptors, Blight Drones, Blood Slaughterers, Plague Hulks, and Defilers.

And more, stop making us pay for it! Chaos Contemptor, I'm looking at you.Im just glad they finally gave Khorne players something that isnt crippled with the Rage rule! Simply because of that, I'll be getting this.

(I'm aware I don't have to buy the Mark of Khorne, but you get my point.)
Exactly. That alone prevented me from buying one for my chaos army. Why Tzeentch would be the better CC version is beyond me.
Double Butcher Cannon on a Decimator, and if I have the free 15, throw on MOK and its not even terrible for a shooty dread in CC, sounds great to me.
