Title: XV109 Y'Vahra - New from Forge World
Post by: Kur'os on September 04, 2014, 07:05:01 PM
Has anyone else seen this?

Looks amazing, imo.  I'm super excited about the flamer weapon.  Not sure about the other weapon though.  Speculations?

XV9 Riptide, essentially :P

I'm more captured by the look of the Triaros Armoured Conveyor. Its basically a train sandwiched between some Land Raider tracks :P Still, it strangely looks cool XD

I see you Archmagos Draykavak. Then there's Polyphemus titan! UGH! I'm glad my warband is so tied in with the Dark Mechanicus. Perfect excuse to get more Mechanicum!

I have to say these all look awesome, more Knights are always welcome and the Triaros looks like fun.

In regards to the Y'varha, I agree with Narric, it looks like a huge XV9. Which makes me think that the ion-ish type other gun is a super Phased Ion Gun (it appears to have two barrels, maybe...). Which would be awesome cause I love XV9s with double PIGs ;D.

If it is Ion then its gonna have to be very different from the Riptide otherwise what's the point?

Well, assuming the flame weapon uses a template; I could see the other weapon being a rapid fire weapon to supplement it...

Preorders and experimental rules are up!

It's a beast!  The IDC and PPF weapons are just mean, it's movement options are brilliant; but beware of its fewer wounds and short range...

It also has BS4 standard, which is nice to see at last.
