Does anyone know what '+1 on the Critical table' means (Knight Paladin Power Lance)? There is no critical table in both the 5th Edition Rulebook, nor in the Apocalypse Rulebook. There is the Damage Table, Super Heavy Dmg Table, and Catastrophic Dmg Table.

Nice work.

I've got a friend who's gonna use the Deathstrike in an Apoc game but it's not clear how it fires from the Datasheet. Logically it's gonna fire like a Deathstrike missile but I suspect he thinks it fires like ordinary ordnance. Is there an FAQ on this?

Finally go around to making my very own Knight Warden.

Still needs some work, I guess.

Gents,

Was going back over this WONDERFUL play aid for reference in creating my own datasheet and found one glaring error.

On the Leviathan and Capitol Imperialis. Your transport capacity matrix's are incorrect!

The Apoc rule book (pg 198) lists the transport size in superheavies for all model sizes (except full sized tanks, which regular apoc does not allow).

Apoc lists cavalry as 3 models, you list as 2. Apoc lists walkers as 10 models, you list as 5.

Suggest you ammend the size lists for these beasties to match the apoc rules, or simply refererence pg 198 in the Apoc rules - and then adjust the size for acrrying tanks upwards to 20 models (if walkers are 10 in apoc, and in your rules, tanks took up twice the space of walkers).

Just some food for thought.

Ben

That Dominatrix is based off a FW Scythed Hierodule, and was converted by Hydra. It won a Bronze Golden Demon at Games Day Toronto in 2007. It was the first of three such conversions that I know of....

With the eldar heat lances is the +2 to the vehicle damage chart roles in addition to the +1 from it being a D weapon and the +1 from it being a AP 1 weapon?

Awesome minidex!

Awesome book! I love it, I must also write that models of Leviathan, Capitol, Deathstrike, Stalion, Phantom, Warlock, Hellknight, Harbinger (by the way, it is 40k model or epic scaled for Aeronautica?) and Dominatrix are simply GORGEOUS!:D Looking forward for more BIG stuff added (when looking into Epic: Decimators? Death Wheels? Feral Titans? Swifdeath Fighters? Ragnarok Heavy Tank? Steam Gargant? Squig Catapults? Tormentor Titan? Perditor? ....)

quick Q.
what do you use to make your mini-dexs?

Lord Velard — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 13:42:42 -0000

Very good book. I already start translating it on russian to use on ours Apoc tournaments.
Do you plan to "rerelease" Horys Hearesy Compaing book with new edition and new Sapce marines?

Imagine my surprise as I was going through this new book (and very nicely done btw) and I come across a pic of my Knight Paladin. Very nicely done guys.

I must say, this book is definatly inspiring me to add two or three more knights to my shelf, and to finally maybe get a coat of paint on the one I do have! (and off topic, but I would like to see the knight crushing the bloodthirster...I dont think I have before...

Also, who made the green dominatrix in the minidex? It is fething sweet! Was it sculpted or converted from a toy or something similar? Absolutely brilliant!

Re: PLAY AID: Lords of Battle v2.0

Damian Starsong — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 23:32:01 -0000

Wow, I remember your knights, they inspired and helped me along the the building of mine (http://i295.photobucket.com... , though mines not as fluid and well sculpted!

Sad to see that you have to let one go, if I had the cash Id jump in on that auction in a second. But heres hoping it goes to a good home!

Great job. As a fan returning from a 13 year hiatus from the game this brings back a lot of memories from days gone by(AT and SM). Maybe you will come up with Dark Future 40k minidex, small bands of mechanicus fighting it out on the grim highways of macharius for just a drop of gasoline and street cred.

As usual the production values are top-notch. I'm a little disappointed that so much of the flavor text for similar units was just cut-n-pasted from one to another, but it's not too bad.
The Eldar "Tempest" is just the Imperial designation for the tank. It does have vastly different weapons from the Scorpion and should have a different data sheet even if the Eldar themselves consider them to be the same basic vehicle. An Eldar Scorpion is to an IG Shadowsword as a Tempest is to a Baneblade, in my opinion.
It does appear that some of the point values were not re-balanced with v5. When deciding whether to take a Psychic Lance on my Warlock or a Distortion Cannon, there is zero reason to take the Lance and it should be the other way around.
As mentioned above, it would have been nice to see a lot more options on these units since they're all scratch-built or unofficial anyway.
Thanks for the great book!

You guys have outdone yourselves again. Great work!

Great stuff, wonderfully inspiring book!

One slight editorial niggle: in the description of the Capitol Imperialis (p.7) it accidentally calls it a Leviathan at one point "Leviathans do not have the pure offensive power..."

Man, I'd really love to see you guys do an Iron Snakes mini codex. Any chance?

Great stuff, I need to find the propa gubbinz to start making more Stompas!

Pete B — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 21:39:15 -0000

Since when is the Tempest a different vehicle than the Scorpion?! GW itself says that the Tempest is the another Imperial name for the Scorpion. Are you going to have "new" datasheets for the Death Stalker, Doom Weaver and Warp Hunter now?

The legs look good, and are very slaaneshi. I've commented on your flickr page. I'd like to know more about the construction as I'm interested in building some super heavies in the future. I like the style so I'd love to know about the rest of the components.

Wow, this caught me out of the blue, and pretty much right when I needed it. I heart you guys :)
(If anyone was wondering why, its actually darned tricky to find pictures and points costs and weaponry of knight class titans! These are the bad boys I see defending my templars loyalist home worlds from incursions, and the toy that I want to try scratch building for my army and apocalypse missions...
and now I have a formation for them! You guys rule! Thanks Bell!)

if I was going to suggest an addendum to this document, that truly awesome
grey knight titan conversion that I found whilst web-searching knight-titans deserves a page, though perhaps permission from its makers might be in order...
(one of the most awesome titan conversions ever...its crushing a bloodthirster underfoot!)

Great book!!! I love the models and comversions included. The pic of the Imperial guard with all the armour and the Capitol imperialis is just awsome. I was wondering though, if you could post a quick summary of some of the smaller changes that you have made.

All in all great book.
