from Faeit:

"Its all out in the open now, this week we are seeing two scenery pieces, the Plasma Obliterator, and the Promethium Pipes. Of course there is also the Onager Dunecrawler this week, and the pricing for them all are revealed.







Here is a link to the most recent leaked images.

Also, but I believe they originated from the above thread.

Plasma Obliterator

It's a medium building with 14 armour all around and has a Plasma Obliterator emplaced.



Plasma Obliterator 72" s:7 ap:2 primary weapon 1, massive blast gets hot



Plasma overheat special rule: if the building suffers a glancing hit due to the plasma Obliterator gets hot rule, then in addition to any other effects any unit embarked in the building suffers d3 wounds. These are randomly allocated."

make all these flamers torrent for 40 points? don't mind if I do!

[thesanityassassin]

My dear 4-flamer Havoc squad loves this idea.

[Jack Shrapnel]

ork burna boyz too...

three squads worth would likely be able to hide comfortably behind the pipes (given all the sections) for a 4+ cover, and a pretty nasty threat to anything coming remotely close

[LizardTau]

Tau suits hiding there would also live it or a blood angels tac squad with heavy flamer even in a rhino.

Too bad it's not vehicles heavy flamer razorbacks and dreadnought feel left out lol

The only problem I can see with them is that they’re like a tracer round; they work both ways. Imagine a tau suit squad does their JSJ, lol. That’d be the ultimate pisser, have another army use your fortification against you. Like a unit of terminators that gets thundered up to your lines, uses combi-flamers to cook any adjacent squads (ala, placing your flamer templates to hit 1-2 models in the unit you plan on charging while putting the majority of your tear drop on another unit) then assaulting in. Eww…

I can see Obliterators doing well behind one of these for certain. What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Plasma monstrosity? It looks really overpriced for what it does but maybe I’m missing something.

[thesanityassassin]

I'm thinking the plasma thing does look a tad pricey, but that 7" blast is a scary thing - it will obviously suffer against multi-wound models or things in cover, but it's really gross against anything that finds its way in to the open. A blog Shannon posted was talking about using it with the new Daemonkin book, having naked BS7 Herald manning it - would make a great fire support piece for an army without much in the way of shooting.

pipes are out... and pretty reasonably priced actually:

Tommy pointed out something with these things.

Burna Boyz... in a Battlewagon.... behind pipes for the 4+... because they're open topped they can all fire. 20" threat range with 15 torrent flamers.... the random hits can't hurt them because they hit the battlewagon. 

repeat three times.

or six with double CAD.... lol

[LizardTau]

Could you have 6 with them all being within 2" of it. Not sure how big this terrain piece is. But a transport is a good idea as its models not units so you could have more torrents

didn't take long for the plasma obliterator to sell out... day one no longer available

[Jack Shrapnel]

from faeit: (guess it's not gone forever after all)

"The Plasma Obliterator release that was put up for pre-orders this last weekend, was feared by a lot of the community to go the way of the Voidshield Generator.... limited and not coming back. Already the Plasma Obliterator has returned with more pre-orders available on the UK Webstore. Although it has not yet gotten to the US store, I would imagine that it will be soon.


Sorry US and Canada... it seems North America purchased the hell out of this and it will take a little longer to make them available again. In the meantime, those people looking to ebay or elsewhere can hook themselves up with their own pre-orders.
