    I'm sad at the loss of old Living Metal for the Monolith. Sure, it was sometimes confusing, but now the thing is just as much meltagun/chainfist bait as any other tank, and it can't even outrun the things.

    And the nerf to flux arcs is also a little sad. Gone are the days when you just dropped a Monolith dead center into the middle of the enemy formation for sheer near-indestructible disruption value - it'll take a bit for me to adapt to using it in a true combined-arms support role like it's now intended.

    Monolith was not too good before. Now its better, you can SUCK everything IN. if you want to, and now you can teleport and use particle whip in the same turn.

    Its still very hard to destroy it.. and it deepstrikes.
    It sucks that now if you fall in enemy units it is destroyed anyway.
    Tho it was more expensive before.. and with 235 you could have done nastier things.

    Anyway, new codex rocks.

    deepstriking is not that great an idea unless you have a 10x10'' clear space you can aim into the middle of, otherwise the chance is just too great it will clip something and die without any effort on your opponents side.

    still, its pretty cool and that one time you actually get to deepstrike it it will be very very great.

    I have good hopes for the Annihilation barge too, it is cheap and looks intimidating enough that it could be the new Distraction Carnifex. With the quantum shielding it is even possible it could survive long enough to actually fire back.

    In the event that it could start to fire back the s7 tesla shots could turn it into a pulper of heavy infantry or even give it a decent shot against light vehicles despite the ap-

    The Annihalation Barge should be a great for suppression against light transports like Rhino's and Chimera's. With those exploding 6's and 4 shots anyway the AP- doesn't matter so much. It's main target is always going to be infantry though, especially stuff with poos armour saves which it should make giblets out of.

    It costs 80 points and you still need a character with a warschyte. I dont know what would that be.. since characters are expensive. And if you are playing arks you have to play imotek.
    Actually, you don't need a warscythe- any Overlord-type character (including Imotekh), plus basic Overlords, can take it.

    Whats the point of Taking a Catacomb command barage if you dont have a warschyte to destroy vehicles and kill several units?

    I'm skeptical of the Ghost Ark, simply because there's a big difference between a lasplasback's lascannon and plasmagun sponsons (or is it the other way around), and a gauss flux array supported by it's passengers; Namely, the former is good against bigger, heavier targets, while the other is more of an anti-infantry weapon, since even though you're getting 15-20 shots from the latter, it's also only glancing a vehicle or wounding a T6 monstrous creature on a 6, and it doesn't have the lasplasback's High AP value against high value footslogging targets.


    Unless the flux arc has completely been changed, in which case, never mind. Ungh... I gotta get my hands on the new codex this week.

    So, besides the ghost arc, whats peoples opinon on the new fluff of these guys? I would think we would need the codex to get the bigger picture out of it, but I am actualy likeing the change from the unkillable unfeeling murder gods of last edition to the Tomb Kings IN SPACE. Most probably dont like the drastic change in fluff, but I always thought they deserved more than a handfull unit choices and a few very nice rules. On one hand, they pretty much rewrote there fluff to fit in the new unit choices.

    So, any comments?

    Please keep the fluff goes in the fluff thread. To answer your question as best I can, the fluff thread has had some discussion of it, but when I asked the question, pretty much everyone said, "Tomb kings in SPAAAAACE." I didn't actually even get the answer of, is this a good thing or a bad thing?

    Title can be worried about later, if necessary.

    Maybe for mobility?

    Trazyn's Empathic Obliterator might still be useful- fly over the unit, make sweep attacks, and watch as it affects several other enemies in the unit.

    Anrakyr the Traveller comes with a warscythe.

    EDIT: moving response to new thread.
