I'm reading Ciaphas Cain: Hero of the Imperium rn and Ambulls make an appearance there. I was so disappointed to learn that its models are all discontinued.

Look for Umberhulk Models. They come from D&D but they are very similar creatures.

@TheGreatDazod Жыл бұрын

I agree it is really is a crime that isn’t a sweet new model for the Ambull - that said one of my favourite conversions I’ve done to date was using an “Ambot” from Necromunda and sculpting it back into an Ambull

@kennykroeger1904 Жыл бұрын

There are many Umber Hulk models that would work, even more if your into 3D printing. They are basically the same creature

We really badly need a Cain model to boot. And some new Valhallans.

The plastic one will go back into production at some point I'm sure. Blackstone Fortress was an unfortunate victim of them needing cut back which products are in production during the pandemic.

it's funny that the old rogue trader one is actually cheaper than the blackstone fortress one because gw stopped doing the blackstone fortress one around 2020. if i'd known gw weren't going to keep it in stock i would have picked one up when it was available

They'll put it back into production eventually. Blackstone Fortress is coming back into print now. Remember, they make the models themselves, but all the cardboard chits, books, and boxes, etc are still printed in china. So, they can make the models, but without all the extras, they can't sell their intended boxed product.

@Bog_Dog Жыл бұрын

I think I recall that Ambots are controlled by a lobotomised ambull brain also! Which explains their mechanics in game somewhat. Basically an ambull dreadnought

@annasstorybox7906 Жыл бұрын

Nah... I guess it would be more servitor-like... While the imperium propaply doesn't give a flip about worker's safety they wouldn't want their mashines to be to independent and an independent ambull, bereft of their flesh and given a mechanical body, might do some unwanted tunneling, some unwanted nibbling on crews or some unwanted escaping...

@Bog_Dog Жыл бұрын

@@annasstorybox7906 definitely more akin to a servitor in terms of free will, I guess I was going for how it's an even more armoured up ambull with mining drills and I think melta cutters as well?

@aaronbrown4275 Жыл бұрын

Yup, just going to say that! It's kind of creepy to know that the AdMech can servitor-ize literally anything.

Yes. There's a ban on even the most simplistic AI in the imperium. Servitors/cyborgs are the way around this. Automated defenses will always have a servitor linked into them as well.

Paint scheme looks fantastic! 1e Rogue Trader really leaned in to being both an RPG and a wargame, taking a lot of inspiration from D&D with gamemaster-controlled events, and even directly copying specific monsters like umber hulk - I don’t know if the ferro-beast ever reappeared but it’s obviously a renamed rust monster

It's funny, once you've seen a lot of Games Workshop models you start to see things in them. Like the Blackstone Ambull looks a bit like it has some cues from the Drycha Hamadreth from Sigmar, with the sort of beehive-like bits. Or perhaps it looks like an Ambull?
