Shadowsword question

[Artimese]

Hey all,

Around the time the Shadowsword model was released there were a couple Apoc formations in a white dwarf that used them. Does anyone know which issue that was and/or what the rules basically were?

Thanks,

Mark!

I am pretty sure you can find it here:

Nope, first place I looked. I find it kind of funny that the model came out about a year ago and those rules have yet to be posted.

Thank you,

Mark!

Good Day,

I think you may have missed it.

Here is a direct link to the PDF File: http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Cus ... wsword.pdf.

It also had the other variants.

Hope this helps.

Thank you,

I think what he is looking for is something like "Titan Hunters formation" or some-such, where you have 3 Shadowswords that get bonuses and cost extra formation points. I recall seeing it ages ago, but cannot remember where. I will look around when I can.

Alrighty, I found a little something while searching about. There was not a lot of super in depth information, but I get the feeling GW gets after people who post stat lines (fairly new to the 40k experience myself).

Shadowsword Domination Force
1 Shadowsword, with Leman Russ tanks, Sentinels, and maybe other support vehicles (conflicting posts, so unsure). Basically, if the Shadowsword gets hit, it can pass off the damage to a tank. If a tank gets hit, it can pass off to a sentinel.

Iron Saint
It has 5 special crewmen and costs 850 points. Each crewman gives the vehicle a special ability or strategic asset which is lost when he is killed. Each time the tank would lose a structure point, roll a D6, on a 6 one of the special crew is killed instead of losing the structure point.

At least with the names, you may be able to track down some better info. I think the White Dwarf in question came out March/April of '09. Good luck.

Aurak_Merc that was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you VERY much. I want to run a domination force.

GPfredette, Thank you very much for taking the time to try and help me with my malformed questions.

Thanks again,

Mark!

No problem at all. Big tanks are definitely worth the time, hehe.
