    The best thing about these new Heavy Weapon Teams is that the weapons actually look like the crew can reasonably carry them, as opposed to the current teams.

    • @TheMagicalWizardPyro
      @TheMagicalWizardPyro 2 роки тому +1

      They still look too heavy to me... Imagine picking up the lascanon that's just a long block of metal. All but the mortar are easily a 300+ pounds, not counting tripod.

    • @LSgaming201
      @LSgaming201 2 роки тому +5

      @@TheMagicalWizardPyro The heavy bolter is about the same size as an IRL Mark 19 which weighs about 85 pounds unloaded and is occasionally used on a tripod in a 3 man team. It sucks massive balls to carry around, but it is done. As is the M2 .50 caliber HMG which is also a nearly 70 pound weapon.
      So it's not completely unrealistic.
      The lascannon is pretty big and would probably need a 4 man crew, but all could be moved by hand with some work.

    Rocket launchers with the bipod: Why would I use the bipod for the rocket launcher, when I needed it for the mortar? From the old kit you could make 3 weapon teams: A rocket Launcher (with a standard Cadian trooper torso and head), a Mortar and a Lascannon.

    Pertinent question: Given the staggering variety of bitz (arms, heads, different pouches suggesting different bodies, etc) and GW's propensity to only sell things that you can build into a rules-legal squad - reckon its safe to say this will probably only come in a x3 box/sprue?

    As I'm a Valhallan IG player, I will not buy any of these new heavy weapon teams. The look pretty nice to me though. The only thing I'm concerned about is the new base size of 50mm (instead of the old one which measured 64mm). This means hell of a lot of rebasing. I really mean I will rebase my old teams. 1) I expect it to be the playing norm. 2) Its actually better for the IG player. Smaller bases are easier to hide, to manoeuver. The only ones that I will not rebase are the old (second edition) lascannons. They are too large to correctly fit on a 50mm base. I mean you theoretically could, place it on the new base, but the wheels and the two platform legs are overhanging outside of the base, which would look horrible.

    • @lukejudd217
      @lukejudd217 2 роки тому +1

      50mm is terrible and should be considered as a virtual spit in the face of every current guard player by Games Workshop. Having just finished converting x9 steel legion mortars on 60mm bases designed to use the Missile crew and a standard rifleman as crew to give my list flexibility, this change essentially makes it impossible to do this. I like to have 1 x guard member on a separate removable base with weapon teams in order to track wounds recieved, you just can't do that in the same way on 50mm, there is just not enough room.
      Not enough room for steel legion heavy bolter teams lying down. Not enough room to encorporate diorama style sandbags, walls etc...
      Just a really d*ck move from GW. I would argue that the size increase has not significant reason for relevance other than entice people to but new kits because they can't be bothered remodelling their existing models.

Will wait until the codex drops before doing anything and know their load outs, looking like a sarge with radio version and 2 normal troop types as the squad 🙂
