Description: Join the petition to forge world.
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 26, 2006 03:27 AM (GMT)
I talked to Mark from forgeworld on France GD 06 I suggested him the Arcanodon and he liked the idea of making it and that he would coment it to the team, the only question he asked to me was would I buy it?
I answered ofcourse, and indeed I would buy it as long as it is a worth mdel.
Now its the time to strike and make Forge World reconsider the idea of making such a formidable creature.
Join the the petition of the Engine of the Gods.

It depends on how good it looks and the price.
I have been meaning to make a sacred host list, with the inclusion of an arcanodon, so most likely i would buy one.
That said it would be fun to make my own :D .
Cheers.

Maybe if it was a carno or a steg or something we could use in a regular lizardmen army. But i'm not gona want to pay $200 for something that I would never take from an army I most likely will never play.
Now, a new huge beasty carnosaur would be nice.

The Arcanodon its completely lwegal, and if you havent used him on games yet then your a fool, I used him on a few games back using the stegadon ofcouse, and he simply rocks!
Beside's 200$ its worth for a huge beautiful model.

He's legal yes, but only in a lustria list, and not many people use that.
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 26, 2006 08:16 PM (GMT)
hey thats not true,he is avalibable in lustria list but you can use him on your normal Lizardmen list.
I asked to Gave thorpe on GD francr 06 and he said YES! you can use him in normal Lizaardmen armies aswell.

You sound like a GW spy/marketing person to me
mr. gone - April 27, 2006 12:49 PM (GMT)
I can show you in the rules where it says you cant use it in a normal lizardman/southlands list. Care to show me where it says you can?
PS Please don't call me a fool when you have nothing but a vague statment from a man who says nothing he says or writes on the internet is offical untill you see it in print. I was stateing my opinion on a model that even if they started working on it now would unlikely be compleated and ready for sale when 7th ed comes out. And I don't think that the lustria list will still be legal in 7th.
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 27, 2006 04:14 PM (GMT)
is it only me or you are the Only Anti Lizardmen member here? I think you shouldbe happy for a new model for the Lizardmen but you only show signs of negativity on most of your posts.
And I don't think that the lustria list will still be legal in 7th.[QUOTE]
well in that case dont you think that had made the lustria book just 2 books before the new edition comes out its kinda stupid? I mean for both waist of money and time.
Forge Worl always brings out rules with its models and gives you a certificate from GW that practically says, hey this guy payed alot of money for this monster so he can use him.
oh by the way if you could show me where does it say I cant take the Arcanodon on regular lizardmen armies it would be very nice from your part.
beside's there it says that the one form tenehuinhuin was the first of adozen.
Gatekeeper - April 28, 2006 12:37 AM (GMT)
Okay I change my mind, your not a spy you're just incompetent, and for your information, Mr Gone isn't the anti lizardmen person here, I am :P
First of all, if the Arcanodon is only in the Lustria book, he can only be used in the Lustria army, because the lizardman book came out before Lustria, there will be no rules for taking it in the main lizardmen army, unless the Lustria book specifically says you can, just because it doesn't mention that you can't take it in the main lizardmen army doesn't mean you can. No where does it say I can't take chaos warriors in an empire army, but I can't. But you are right, if forgeworld releases the miniature, they can revise the rules for it then.
Oh and ofcourse all the armybooks are going to be replaced in 7th edition, its what GW does, rip us off every few years with a new rulebook with slightly different rules, new armybooks that are spread out so that they only just finish the revision just before releasing a new edition (I feel so sorry for the wood elves players right now).
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 28, 2006 01:19 AM (GMT)
yeah, they had to wait ALOT! for their army book, but at least they had gotten the best miniatures.
when the new 40k came out the Codex books didnt got screwed, only a few rules on some of the codexes such as the thousand sons but anyways they hadnt been a very competitive army,while the Dark eldar wich its codex is from 2nd edition gained plenty of advantage.
Gatekeeper - April 28, 2006 09:05 AM (GMT)
Dark Eldar didn't come about until 3rd edition, get yor facts right...
And they are redoing all the 40k codexs, they've already done Space Marines, Tyranids and Tau.
mr. gone - April 28, 2006 12:52 PM (GMT)
Why did you even put a "No" choice on the poll if we're not allowed to dissagree with you? This is a discussion forum isn't it. Most, like 90% of the members here don't play The Red Host and probubly would rather have a steg or carnosaur.
So I'm a fool because you can't read a rule book? And I'm anti-lizardmen because I'd rather have a model from forgeworld that I can use in a lizardmen list then one for some other list... Ok.
The reason Lizardmen cant have an Arcanodon is the same reason we cant have snotlings, because its not apart of our army. You know that list in the middle of the lizardmen book that tells you what you can take, you might want to read it some time.
And yes GW will put out books just a few months before changeing edditions they did it with VC right before they came out with 6th eddition. Its called ripping off their customers.
Hopefully when they redo our list they will take the best elements from the southlands list and the red host and combine them into one alternate list, but that won't be for a long time.
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 28, 2006 02:20 PM (GMT)
I putted the NO option for those ho wouldnt bought it simply cause they dont have the budget etc.., I am not pissed cause someone simply pressed no, you are the one ho is taking it here on a bad manner, I just simply said that at least being a lizardmen fan you would find interest on a new model, besides have common sense snotlings are not Lizardmen, Arcanodon belongs to Lizardmen, and each time ForgeWorld brings otu a huge model and really mean huge, they give you a certificate wich allows you to use it.
And I dont know wat kind of persons are your friends if they dont allow you to use it in their games, after all you guys are friends isnt?
I am not saying you can use Khorne Chaos Knights on your Midheim Army, Arcanodon its a Lizard, chaos Knights are not from the Empire, the simple answer its common sense.
By the way I havent seen the VC really affected by the new rules, also have you heard of the chapter aproved thingies?
mr. gone - April 28, 2006 03:04 PM (GMT)
Sorry if I took it in the wrong way when you called me a fool when you were the one who was wrong.
I was suggesting you make a petition for a steg or a carnosaur something alot more people use and would probubly sell better. Thats all I was really trying to say.
And VC got rocked by the new rules, they split the undead army into the VC and tomb kings armies then came out with 6th like 2 months later. So you bought a book and it was worthless 2 months later along with your half your army unless you wanted to play VC and tombkings. Undead in 5th used to be able to take units of wraiths and they where nice, then in 6th they became the least used charactors in the VC list.
Pitalla_CrimsonLord - April 28, 2006 04:27 PM (GMT)
I'm sorry, I got all mixed up. Maybe you're right, but I really think an Arcanodon would kick ass. and either way with a forge world certificate it will become legal, anyhow if you play with friends I doubt the will neglet you to use it.
casual_moose - April 29, 2006 11:05 PM (GMT)
Pitalla, if you want to make an actual petition, you can make one online. There are some sites that help you do that (I think petition online or something) but i'm not sure how much bearing it would have on forgeworld, unlesss you got a lot fo people.
As for the subject at hand, having an actual mini of it, it will probably be pretty expensive. However, if it looks cool, then I say why not, even if you can't play with them in a normal army or whatever. I'm sure there are some collectors or something who might like to have one, however it would be a severly limited market, hence the large price.
Krell - May 1, 2006 10:16 PM (GMT)
Yeah I think I have the 5th edition VC book you're talking about at home somewhere. I played Undead in 5th edition, and then when they split the army i went with vampire counts. The VC book I have only has 4 bloodlines I think, and the point costs are way high (Vampire lord is like 350 i think). You can take Zombie Dragon as a monster choice. I'm pretty sure there arn't any striogi's either. That's also when they switch wights to only having one wound. They had 3 in the Undead book.
Little Skink - June 9, 2006 08:28 PM (GMT)
uhhhh isn't the arcadon thing like a cannon? I forgot. If it was we would be able to run everything over.........
Chaotica - July 1, 2006 03:37 PM (GMT)
The arcanodon is a stone thrower without a max range.
A bit off-topic, but does that mean there also is a 5th edition undead book?
mr. gone - July 2, 2006 08:58 AM (GMT)
Uh, yea there was undead in 5th.
Kul - July 4, 2006 08:00 PM (GMT)
would depend on the price..
I'm not very active in warhammer anymore, so I probably wouldn't tho..
