Ok we've allowed the discussion on the White Scars trial to percolate enough now. Here's the 2017 Trial document for your testing. The big difference is that the Walkerless +5cm WS Vindicator is in as an upgrade for the Assault, Tact, Term, and Pred formations. They've been pulled from the WW as that's useless. The crazier concepts of scout bikers and storm talons and H&R Rule have been pushed out to a variant list (if ever).


thanks and may the battle reports be ever in your favor

The formatting makes it look like the Terminators have EA+1 on their Storm Bolters, not the Power Fists...

Thanks.
So this means we can expect some Batreps from you, right?

I know they can only be transported by Land raiders..but Ummmmm you may want to indicate that some where, since the price is 650 points...

It's been the pattern use in the list (and the TP) since it first was published in fanatic so probably not an issue
Should we really have to specify +4 Land Raiders as well? (which I'm good with-just seems superfluous)

Well they can't go in either rhinos or drop pods, which is what the plus transport rule is for no? Otherwise I'd take free land raiders for all the other formations I remember when originally looking at the list it confused me so probably worth addressing. Don't really see why it was done this way in the first place.

If you actually read the special rule:white scars transport it is explained there.

So if you don't want to add the 4 Landraiders back in Jimmy, maybe the following..just a idea

Four White Scars Terminator units plus White Scars Transport(See special rule section) 650 points

Down side is that would need to be do to each formation, not just the terminator...

Oh Dave won't hurt you much, jimmyzimms....not much at all.

Yep, definitely in 6.9.1:



If leaving it that way will collapse western civilization as we know it then I'd suggest removing that bit from 6.9.1 to make it more in line with 6.3.1 and changing the entry to "Four Terminator units and four Land Raiders".

Obviously just personal preference but in the absence of a functional reason why you have to cross reference back to the special rule section in order to know what is in the formation it just seems the KISS solution.

It's actually a Death Guard batrep rather than a White Scars one, but... viewtopic.php?f=84&t=31905

I've a feeling the Scouts I listed were too expensive, but I'm not sure where the other 50pt were spent, as Paul's list was adjusted on the night as he'd not seen the 2017 PDF before.

Oh just replied in that thread before I saw this. Yeah the scouts are over by 50 unless there was a character or something added. Actually this WS list is the same regardless of Trial vs TP version so cool either way.

Yeah, he's planning to add some newly-fast Vindicators for future games.

Can you not take the Terminators in a Thunderhawk? The special rule implies that you can leave the Land Raiders home if you do, but you'd still have paid 650 points...
