That gives you a whopping 23 Cabal points to play with per turn, though note that the Rubrics will only generate those points when they’re on the table and out of the Rhinos. Speaking of which let’s talk about the large number of Rhinos that, in many ways, act as T7 5-man marine squads with a meltagun, pouring out 3-6 Inferno bolter rounds and a melta shot per turn with some additional protection thanks to the 5++ Brotherhood of Sorcerers save. The net effect is a surprisingly rangy list that can toss out an obscene number of mortal wounds per turn, as you’ve got 11 psykers in the army capable of casting Smite or whatever else you like and drowning out enemy targets in a deluge of wounds they can’t roll saves against. It’s an interesting list, and what I’d expect to see from Don given his preference for skew.lists. It often acts in concert with the Land Raider Excelsior, a variant of the standard Land Raider also intended to carry out command and control functions, to help target orbital bombardments from a Space Marine fleet in high orbit of the embattled world. The Rhino Primaris can transport 6 Astartes into combat. The Rhino, or more formally, the Mars Pattern Rhino, is an Imperial armoured personnel carrier (APC) that is widely used throughout the galaxy by many different factions, though it is a mainstay vehicle of the Adeptus Astartes. It has provided safe transportation since the days of the Great Crusade, transporting its cargo of Space Marines swiftly and safely to the forefront of battle.

The Mark Ib is no longer constructed in the 41 st Millennium, as these vehicles are viewed as being past their prime, but are still maintained or sometimes even used by many Astartes Chapters as a sign of respect for tradition.Contemptor Dreadnought • Deredeo Dreadnought • Leviathan Dreadnought • Arquitor • Cerberus • Deimos Rhino • Deimos Predator • Falchion • Fellblade • Javelin • Jetbike • Kratos • Land Raider Proteus • Land Raider Achilles • Mastodon • Sabre • Sicaran • Spartan • Typhon • Whirlwind Scorpius • Stormbird • Dreadclaw • Kharybdis Assault Claw The new unit in the book, the Infernal Master is part sorcerer – he knows and can cast one power per turn while generating 2 Cabal points – and part chaplain – he knows two infernal pacts and can attempt to make one of them in each of your Command phases. This succeeds on a 3+, but you can use the Malignant Pact Stratagem if it fails to do a mortal wound to a nearby infantry or cavalry model to make it automatically succeed. Otherwise the Infernal Master is just a sorcerer, making him pretty fragile and mostly mediocre in combat. His real value comes from the buffs and debuffs he can put out. And at 90 points, he’s a steal. In time, the vehicle became the standard fighting vehicle of human armed forces across the galaxy. Recovered STC databases provided the early Imperial armies with Rhino variants still in use today, such as the Predator, Immolator and Whirlwind. There are many other variants, now lost to the depths of time only awaiting rediscovery. Overall while the Thousand Sons certainly lost some power by having their new Veterans of the Long War replacement ( Wrath of the Wronged) move to 2 CP and things like Indomitable Foes going away, they’ve gained more utility in their new stratagems and more offensive output overall. There’s more here that interacts meaningfully with psykers and fewer Killshot-style duds.it’s a decent set of stratagems to work from. The Datasheets Two Psychic Disciplines – The Discipline of Change and the Discipline of Vengeance, each with 9 psychic powers

The military value of such a vehicle was soon recognised, and soon each planet in the burgeoning human empire had its own customised versions of the Rhino, fitted with tons of varying weapons. [2b] The Damocles Command Rhino is used by Space Marines during large operations where the coordination of troops is handled using long-range communications. The Damocles is equipped with powerful communications equipment and is staffed by experienced communications officers that allows a Force Commander to communicate with his forces, even when they may be on the other side of a continent. The Damocles is also capable of intercepting and decrypting enemy communications.This is my first stab at a list. It’s not a great list. Hell, it’s probably not even a good list. But what I do know is that 1. I have already painted Magnus, and 2. It’s going to take me several games playing with Cabal points before I get a good feel for how to use them and when, and how many I really want to generate each turn. My initial passes at building a list looked to maximize them, but generating 16-18 per turn left me without a lot else to play the field with. This new iteration brings that way down while giving me plenty to work with. Rob’s “Look I Already painted Magnus and a Mutalith” List Rubrics aren’t nearly as durable as Plague Marines and they’re not really effective in melee but they can buff themselves in useful ways and they have some very strong mid-range shooting they can make use of. The unit gives you 1 cabal point and if you take an Icon of flame the unit will generate 2 per turn for you instead. Another new upside is that they’re immune to morale, which at least means never having to worry about losing models to attrition. Otherworldly Presence has been nerfed significantly, going from a persistent 3+ invulnerable save to a once-per-battle ability you can activate before making a save that lasts until the end of the turn. Rhinos can also be equipped with a number of enhancements, including dozer blades, extra armour plating, a Hunter-Killer Missile Launcher, improved communications equipment, a searchlight, and smoke launchers.

The Thousand Sons Rhino gets special mention here. It costs the same as its Death Guard counterpart but comes with an inferno combi-bolter and the option to take a second for 5 more points. More importantly, as a model with the ARCANA ASTARTES keyword, it benefits from the Brotherhood of Psykers Detachment ability, giving it a 5+ invulnerable save. That’s actually a pretty huge deal for the humble Rhino, and suddenly makes Rhinos full of Rubrics a much more attractive proposition. All hail the humble Rhino! Chaos Predators, Vindicators, and Land RaidersThe Vindicator is used by the Space Marines as a siege tank, and is armed with a Demolisher Cannon which is used against enemy structures. The Vindicator is also commonly equipped with large dozer blades known as Siege Shields that protect the tank from enemy fire and allow it to move rubble and debris out of the way.

Some Adepta Sororitas Rhinos also are equipped with twin cannons next to the driver's hatch instead of a storm bolter. [8] Sororitas Rhino Variants Barbarus - Barbarus is a Chaos Rhino of the World Eaters Traitor Legion that was reportedly present at the Battle of Terra during the Siege of the Imperial Palace, and has been identified on numerous occasions over the millennia since as being the personal vehicle of the Chaos Lord Kossolax the Foresworn. I also asked Mike Pestilens, a notable Chaos Daemons player and author of the Warphammer blog, for his thoughts on a list, and here’s what he came up with, taking advantage of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers and the fact that units in the Imperial Armour Compendium gain access to the ARCANA ASTARTES keyword and, as a result, the 5+ invulnerable save. Mike Pestilens’s List: Dusty Guns Never Tire (2000 Points, 7 CP) Some weapons have ‘Blast’ listed in their profile’s abilities. These are referred to as Blast weapons. In addition to the normal rules, the following rules apply to Blast weapons: The engines are fed by a fan-assisted air intake, providing the oxygen for the combustion chamber. Each engine has its own fuel tank, and a separate oxygen supply. This means that if there is no oxygen, or if the operating environment requires the air intakes to be sealed, the engines still have the oxygen they require.The Sabre Tank Hunter is a powerful anti-armour tank. The vehicle is equipped with a forward-firing Laser Destroyer or Neutron Laser Cannon that is capable of immobilising or outright destroying enemy armoured vehicles. The Sabre is becoming increasingly rare in Imperial military use due to the difficulty in producing the tank's main weapons. A more common variant of the Sabre uses a Vanquisher Cannon instead of the more rare weapons.
