Since Lord I had put this unit in the list, I presumed that it was mentioned somewhere in a codex or fluff that I haven't read. In some ways it would make more sense to use the Capitol Imperialis since it already exists. Nope, Lord I just made it up AFAIK. If that's the case then switching to the Capitol Imperialis makes even more sense. |

I'm open. I'm not convinced it makes the list better or worse. It will be interesting to see if you can work it into the list. |

There's a pic of one in the old WH codex - but it's basically an Inquisitorial Capitol anyway. If it looks like a duck and quacks... |

Time for a long overdue update. The Obsidian Fortress is being replaced with the Capitol Imperialis. Since there are no official stats, I'm going to give the following stats a try, which are based on stats proposed by Jervis. War Engine, 10cm, Armor 4+, Close Combat 6+, Firefight 5+ Weapons: Behemoth Cannon, 75cm , 6BP, Forward, Indirect Battle Cannon, 75 cm, AP4+/AT4+, Left Arc Battle Cannon, 75 cm, AP4+/AT4+, Right Arc Automated Defense System, (15cm), Small Arms, Automated Defense System, Base Contact, Assault Weapons NOTES: DC 10, 5 Void Shields, Reinforced Armor, Thick Rear Armor, Supreme Commander, Fearless, Transport (20, plus 3 Transport Vehicles), Firing slits: up to 10 Infantry units may fire with ranged weapons or use FF and/or CC without having to disembark. Critical Hit Effect: Internal explosions cause one extra point of damage and D6 transported units are hit (determine randomly) 600 points It seems to me the list needs a little more firepower. To avoid having to rely on Titans, I'm adding two units to Inducted IG Companies - a tank platoon of six Leman Russes for 375 points and an artillery battery for 250 points. The artillery battery consists of three Basilisks. I'm thinking of also allowing the option of taking three Manticores or Bombards instead. Thoughts? |

not 100% sold on the inducted tank and basalisk formations. RE the capitol - you ought to hash out an agreement with zombocom's Ministorium list, since AFAIK they're both the same chassis. |

Is Zombocom even doing Epic anymore? |

Firing slits is the same rule as the firing platforms in the Cadian list, I notice. Perhaps we should hash out a common name? |

Dwarf Supreme, it may be a good idea to PM the stats to Steve54 and Rug and then just move forward if you don't get any critique. Waiting on Zombocom to possibly return to the realm of Epic and give his feedback is only going to delay things more than necessary. I'm curious how the tanks will be incorporated. |

To be fair, I think Zombo's Ministorum 'Reverant Fury' is only based off of a Leviathan chassis and is actually an entirely different vehicle to both the Leviathan & the Capitol Imperialis so no reason to wait for feedback from him IMO. Zombo's absence from epic is a concern for the Ministorum list though, it's early days yet I suppose, but worth keeping an eye on DS. |

DS - just confer with Rug over the CI and go with it. No point waiting for somebody who may or may not return. Especially when they are still 'on-board' just not commenting |
