However the fluff is not that.


Considering how we're not going to get new Hydraphant or Dominatrix models, the 7.1 fluff is now wrong.

If the fluff is the make any kind of cohesive sense, the link between the Hydraphant and the Dominatrix needs severing.

You do realise that it was planned to remake the nid bio titans (with hydraphant being the neutered dominatrix).

Yep but that was before the restructuring.

Now we're getting no new units except the ForgeWorld ones I've mentioned previously, sorry.

That means no new Dominatrix, and no new Hydraphant. The models will stay as they are.


That's why I've been so concerned we get the stats right for the bio-titans, so as to match the few new models we will get.


So that means we design the list for the models which will exist, not those that were planned to exist but which now never will.

I think this is something that you should raise with Jaldon.

Myself, I don't feel comfortable making Dominatrices modular, when that hasn't been an ability of theirs in any previous list / version of Epic.


EDIT: Plus, as mentioned the model isn't modular.

I've always said and will continue to until I see models.

Just package the dominatrix throne with the hyrdraphant body.

That way we have a multipurpose kit and a dominatrix who looks DC8.

*shakes head*

I don't get why you'd want to decrease the ammount of models put into production.

If we remove one model from production to make a multiuse model then we might get a new one

A long shot I know, but I have found that epic gamers need more faith than most religious people.  :p

failing that they might be more inclined to release the range if it has fewer bitz to it.

No new models. Nada. None.

Only the ForgeWorld 5.

Since SG only has 1 employee (Andy Hall), then no, I don't work for SG! :D

However it's very obvious that current SG policy is not to make any new sculpts, just release what already exists on a slow schedule.

This has been stated by Jervis (Before he disapeared off to write some rather depressing adverts in White Dwarf), Andy H, ERC members and various army champions.


Unless there are some huge changes at SG, we're getting no new models.

Dominatrix Mini-Update:

Dominatrix (500 pts)
...
-Large Warp Blast / 30cm / MW 4+
...
- Smite

Here's my suggestion for the "smite" power on a Dominatrix: ?Instead of giving her a Marine Librarian power, just add it to her "Large Warp Blast" like so:

Large Warp Blast / 30cm / MW 4+
and
(15cm)/(small arms)/MW, +1EA

Thoughts?

Dominatrix is down to 400pts in the latest WIP list IIRC.

I just went with smite as it is a recognizable psychic power ability, which comes from the main rule book. Basically I think smite is a flavourful rule, while a generic small-arms attack may achieve the same effect it's not as cool.  :cool:

Plus it's more elegant a solution to apply a pre-existing special rule instead of writing an extra line of text?

Either way the end result is the same, I'm not too fussed.

Here is my two cents on the ability

Bio-Titan Warp Blast  30cm  MW 4+  Macro-Weapon, and
                                 30cm  AA 5+    and
                                 (15cm)  (small arms)  Macro-Weapon, Extra Attack (+1)
