Gorgeous box. First time in ages I feel a bit of temptation towards a GW product.
Not gonna give in. I have enough projects, but I do feel kind of sorry I'll never get to paint those.

Could always buy the odd single mini from Ebay ? Use 'em in skirmish games.

No armour saves in melee because it's "comparatively easy" to find a weak spot in any armour...yeah that sounds a bit off. Even if it was easy to find a weak spot and your opponent was rubbish at defending it then it'd still be a lot easier to injure someone in little or no armour.

Getting embroiled in a melee is especially deadly as, unlike ranged combat, armour saves won’t help you here – in such close confines, finding an exposed joint or aiming for a foolishly unprotected head is comparatively easy. The only thing standing between an operative and the whirring blades of a chainsword is their own fighting skill, and this gives true close combat specialists a real moment to shine.

Yes, that does sound a bit bizarre.

Agreed. Guess they want to try to balance out melee versus ranged but this seems off to me.

Must be why humans didn't bother with armour until ranged weapons became the norm!

Gibby · « **Reply #11530 on:** July 17, 2021, 11:14:42 AM »

That is really puzzling rules logic...

Storm Wolf · « **Reply #11531 on:** July 17, 2021, 11:28:10 AM »

Yeah one wonders why did Roman Legionnaires and fully armoured knights etc, etc, ever bother to don heavy and restrictive armour at all

Silly GW, silly

Don`t worry the next new edition will put armour saves back

Not getting a save when grappling against a guy with a knife, but getting one when hit in the chest with a Laser beam seems counter intuitive!

Maybe the module writers mistook the GW universe for the Dune one.

The slow knife...

Seriously though, sounds like a dumb rule
