I feel bad calling this a tranch. Yes, I have painted the latest weapons from Games Workshop. They took about 4/5 hours to complete therefore, not that long. This means that I am totally up-to-date until the new Epic launches (as there are new Warhound weapons).
The weapons themselves are not too bad. For the Warlord you get the conversion Beam Extirpator. 60pts gives you 2 strength 10 shots without any minuses to hit. The range is good and at long, it becomes strength 12 with the option to maximal fire it... scary! Auto killing most knights on 2+. The Reaver one is similar however no maximal though, still str 11 at long range (draining) and the fact that it's carapace (giving it 360 degrees shooting) still makes it tasty.
The Warhound one is not so great. It has the same stats as the Reaver one however, you must push at long range (it has draining). Now, the Reaver can take a push on their reactor however, if you roll two heat on your Warhound you are in serious trouble.
I therefore feel it's the same as most of the additional weapons Games Workshop have brought out. Viable option for the Warlord, okay for the Reaver and stick to mega bolters and plasma blast guns for the warhound.
Next up; a few more 40k Nurgle marines to finish off the army.
Toodle Pip!
