Filled with new walkers, the Heavy Support section also sees the first instance of the new Flak missiles, from the Warhammer 40K 6th edition rulebook... but are they worth the points?

Spectre Miniatures Reveal Limited Remembrance Diorama
Havoks can be a pretty good anti hoard unit, 4 flamers, a combi flamer buy the 5 extra guys, and close combat weapons for everyone, mark of khorne and an icon of wrath you’ll burn a huge chunk out of a guard blob or mass of ork boys then you can re-roll the charge range and see what happens when you hit the survivors with 41 S5 attacks, or you can give them long range weapons and shoot across the table while the bigger troop units charge in and do the fighting. Obliterators took a hit from not being allowed… Read more »
hmmmm I’m an uninspired champion :'(
I like the Havocs personally as they’re able to field flamers and plasma guns as well. They’re quite a flexible unit that can cover anti-tank or anti-horde/marine. If you’re running a footslogger army then you could intermingle these units in support of your main guys. I think the thing with Fiends is that you’ll have games where they’ll perform well and other games where they won’t. The fact that they have “Daemon” and “It Will Not Die” makes them more survivable than other dreadnoughts and the Maulerfiend is only slightly more points than a Helbrute (probably equal after upgrades).

The New Codex is not going to sell many New Toys
Really? maybe tournament players will not buy much but for the “beauty” of the models and the “narrative” game there are many more players.
Yes really the codex won’t sell them but as you say the models will sell themselves.
I will be getting the new aspiring champion myself, I don’t need him just like the look of him.
must admit i very rarley use much in the heavy choices apart from the landraider and the old predator annihilator.
ive only just found out from watching this video that obliterators could use the same weapon turn after turn in the old codex so kind of feel like an idiot but then again only ever used them twice but am planning on using them now that i can get them in finecast.
i will aslo be trying out the mauler/forgefiend vindicator and defiler as ive never used them b4.
The fact that you guys went through the whole Heavy support section and were basically unimpressed shows me that GW has balanced this section. When there is no MUST TAKE, MUST TAKE unit according to Darrell, thats a good thing (IMHO). Lets see how the others fare. Onto the next!
look at page 4 in octobers white dwarf guys the first defiler has the heavy flamer oppisite the reaper autocannon
