The 2016 marine

Ok, $30 for a single mini that is honestly kinda meh might be much.

But I was thinking, his zero cost for 40k armies is pretty cool, but I think using him as a "make your own" knight errant for 30k. He has an old tech combi-weapon and his armor mark is close to era correct, but I think the fact that he has the unique leg pieces, elbows, and knees make sense that a specialist would get special armor and wargear.

I don't know if HH 6 has rules for making a knight errant, or if his weapons will work in 30k, but I think I figured out my paint scheme.

I like it. Book 6 has build-a-knight. You'd probably need to add a ccw of some sort. Knights errant are really cool; almost makes me wish I was loyalist. I was thinking an apothecary librarian with a jump pack.... (they have pretty crazy rules)

If anyone is looking to pick one of these up, doesn't want to stand in line at GW and doesn't mind waiting a week or 2, they are being pre-sold on eBay:

Really?!?? Apothecary librarian assault marine.

Nice! (And say he has a two handed power bayonet)

And I take back the "kinda meh", just put him together and the more I look, the more I'm liking this guy.

I stopped into DL on Saturday and picked up one. They didn't have Angels of Death, so I drove down to GW. They sold out the two copies they got before I got there, but everyone else was buying the marine, so I got a second one. I put it up on eBay for $45, and it's now up to $74 on ebay. Feel free to drop a bid. Auction ends at 5:25PM today. :)

Ridiculous! But, good for you if you can get it. :)

looks pretty good I'm using him for my 30k Raven Guard army either for a veteran marine or a seeker

Vigilator!

problem is that he doesn't get the extra stats of a captain....he has stats of a regular marine and you cannot buy him any upgrade....so it will be a vigilator with ws and bs 4 s and t 4 w 1 initiative 4 and 1 attack w leadership 8

Those are his 40k rules; irrelevant to how he could be fielded in 30K.

where you do read that is for 40k exclusive? the rule says "one space marine in your army can be replaced with the ISM at no additional cost" doesn't say 40k anywhere

Well it wasn't written by Forgeworld to be used in their Age of Darkness setting.
It also has And They Shall Know No Fear, Chapter Tactics, and Combat Squads (which 30K marines do not have) and does not have Legion Astartes (which 30K marines do have), so would not really fit into any unit. Giving And They Shall Know No Fear to a 30K unit for no cost would be really unbalancing.
If someone wanted to switch those three rules for Legion Astartes and use it in Age of Darkness I would not have a problem, but that is clearly not how it works as written. Much better to just use him as some variety of character, in my reckoning.

I knew they would sell fast, was able to get mine right when the GW store opened Saturday, and scored the index astartes (I think they only had three copies).

That is an awesome book

Yeah I looked through Tyler's...looks like a compendium of Rogue Trader, Chapter Approved and previous edition stuff. It was pretty bad ass.
