40K RUMORs: Apocalypse Tidal Wave
HOLD ON, there’s way too many rumors to deal with – TIDAL WAVE!!!!!
Warseer’s Engrimm got the scoop:
Holo-Fields
Eldar titan holo-fields: Before rolling for damage (including the destroyer table, so yes they work vs D weapons) you roll a D6 per hit so see if it hits the titan or the holo-field image. If it moved it hits on 4+, if it didnt hits on 3+. Same thing for the Revenant. Phantom is pages 146-147, Revenant 148-149 if you want to update the list
Apocalypse Fortifications
The Aquila strongpoint can be armed with macro cannon or vortex missile (it isnt remove everything it touches anymore although still powerful). They cost quite a bit, AV15 all sides. Macro cannon can fire in two ways, 1st is 2 D shots large blast, 2nd apocalyptic megablast at S10/7/5 Ap1/4/6 (1st number for the 5″ at the centre, 5-10″ 2nd, 10-15″ 3rd). This shot also has a sonic boom rule, which affects flying stuff in the path of the shell, not going to go into more detail as the mods will kick me out soon
Titan Optional Weapons
Q: Can you please just confirm if Titans pay extra points for different weapons or as current they swap them out for free?
A: For old models like the Reaver/Phantom titans etc it’s still free to choose. Others like the Tesseract vault/transcendant c’tan have to pay for their weapons, so maybe newer models will be following this example. The D weapon for the C’tan is Hellstorm template, and it isn’t the highest points cost ability that he gets, there’s 2 that cost more.
Necrons
The Tesseract vault chooses 2 powers (weapons) from 6. If you deploy the Transcendent C’tan on it’s own (which counts as a gargantuan creature) you choose 1 power from 3, and 2 weapon powers from 6 again. C’tan outside of vault costs more than being inside. So buying the Tesseract vault to field it as the Obelisk and Transcendent C’tan is quite a bargain in my opinion as you’ed be going very close to 1k points with just 1 purchase.
