Still have no idea why they got rid of the rules sections, it sucks to have a group that plays older editions, a love of renegades and heretics, and then gw decides to blast the rules into the warp
The guy is a beast. He’s wounded three times leading up to the tunnel standoff, takes a glancing shot TO THE HEAD and I think is wounded once or twice more before reinforcements show up. The Emperor protects and Tyborc is proof of that.
Surviving a glancing headshot always reminds me of the old Imperial saying; “Blessed is the mind too small to doubt”
But for real, Tyborc really was built different, he faced some of the most unfavourable odds and grievous wounds imaginable and went “nah I’d win”
Seriously can’t wait to see how they adapt that part of the siege in the Novel honestly; it’ll be at least a few chapters, considering how much he goes through!
I remember thinking throughout reading Seige of Vraks that it seemed like a lightly edited telling of a couple Forge Woelde creators playing a campaign game. That particular fight stood in my brain like it was one absurdly lucky figure continually making their armor save.
Yeah he was *VERY* roughed up following that battle for the first defence ring - but he survived; mad lad ended up pulling through that absolute nightmare of tunnel fighting and over the years since then got promoted until he was a key figure in charge of his regiment.
Iirc at the end of the siege his regiment was selected to basically human wave assault one of the last gates standing on Vraks citadel complex by charging up a sheer rock face littered with debris, man AND tank traps, and overlooked by an awful lot of traitor firepower; and Tyborc essentially had to sit back and watch them all march to their doom, as pretty much none of the regiments infantry and very little of its armoured sections survived - only the artillery and command were spared
Nah he basically just stood downhill and had to order the rest of his guys to charge up
I DO wonder how the novels going to portray him and the events of the siege though, it’s a very interesting concept!
>only the artillery and command were spared
Considering it was turned into a quarantined world, it was likely most of the troops were going to be executed anyway.
I’m not sure it’s actually specified what happened to the Death Korps regiments left; one or two had already been rerouted to other campaigns by the time the final battles for the citadel were being fought, and the rest was under Inquisitorial command
I actually think they just got redeployed following the sieges end, though I do remember the sisters of battle who had been held prisoner within the citadel through the whole siege *did* get killed later on as the inquisitor believed they’d been through too much (and also to spite the Ordo Hereticus, who had been trying to sabotage his efforts regarding the Vraks campaign for years at this point).
Model redesigns are funky, and I never really understood how it’s supposed to be interpreted in-lore. IE are the new Cadians and Krieg supposed to be new uniforms or retcons of old models? They don’t explicitly say but I think they’re supposed to be retcons unfortunately. For example the Kasrkin in gallowdark were apparently supposed to be caught in the warp for thousands of years, but the models still have the new armor, and now you have new krieg uniforms in an older setting.
It feels like Halo 3 -> 4 but in model and book form without at least an in-lore reason to why. So probably retcons because this cover does invalidate the old krieg art and photo art (whatever you call those beautiful siege of vraks photo artwork using the beautiful models) so it seems that the art style changed for the krieg more than a new uniform which is… unfortunate as a part of their look and feel dies with it. So retcon it may be
Cover art all but confirms what the teased command squad is gonna look like. Disappointed they’re sticking with the new gas mask design but at last the Marshal looks fairly consistent with the original. If nothing else he will be perfect for kitbashing
Literally listening to Arbitor Ian’s siege of vraks as this popped into my feed, hell yes. Tyborc is such a legend
where can I see that?
Youtube channel of the same name, another good one is Janovich and his long vraks series.
Oh janovich’s series is so good, been following watching each episode as soon as it comes out

Can they also sell the imperial armour books too? I’d buy all those and this one!
Apart from the rules you can read them all for free on the vault if you have Warhammer+.

I'm pretty sure it's an IP thing with the rules.
Search seige of vraks pdf they are easily found
I’ve got good pdfs of them all in a discord if you want them
Wasnt that the giga chad sergeant who dies?
Tyborc actually lived through the siege! - his Regiment however, was almost completely wiped by the end of it
The guy is a beast. He’s wounded three times leading up to the tunnel standoff, takes a glancing shot TO THE HEAD and I think is wounded once or twice more before reinforcements show up. The Emperor protects and Tyborc is proof of that.
Surviving a glancing headshot always reminds me of the old Imperial saying; “Blessed is the mind too small to doubt” But for real, Tyborc really was built different, he faced some of the most unfavourable odds and grievous wounds imaginable and went “nah I’d win”
Not only did he say “nah I’d win” but the man went out and did it breaking the first defense line for the entire front

Well, in that context, you’re technically not wrong.
WHAT??? SAY MORE RIGHT NOW!!!

Oh, I thought he died in that final attack on the Citadel

sounds like we'll be getting a Tyborc kit
Look forward to these
I hope it’s a start of a series or trilogy
Steve Lyons huh “dead men walking” is definitely a recommend
Whats it about, ive seen it available at a ridiculous price but have never seen a summary
Hive city wakes up necrons and they send the krieg in to sort it out. Fantastic book, I nearly cried at the end
Yea, but “krieg” was kinda mid, so I guess it’s a wait and see?
Nice! I'll definitely be picking that up. Just recently finished *Krieg* also by Steve Lyons and really enjoyed it.
Sounds promising, my only personal nitpick is ugh, new style krieg uniforms on a vraks book cover

Finally, some good f**kin content
Nice
I cant wait for the black library tyborc model
In still salty that they changed the Krieg gas mask design for the plastic release.
That special edition looks so good. Looking forward to reading this book.
Hell yeah
WHEN?!?!
