Got a codex clarification issue?

Seeing they wanted a really fluffy and Space Wolfish codex, please do ask him why they choose not to represent the Wulfen more than the old "mark of" a wulfen unit or some MotW models would've been nice...one can still use the old 13th but still...

 

Yes that , i see no reason why they didnt make a 0-1 wulfen unit just to make us old wolves that have the old model or wants to play with them happy......

 

 

You can still play with them.. You're just going to be breaking apart your old units and adding the wolfen to your new ones. Its an upgrade for just about every squad in the codex.

 

Grey hunter, blood claws, lone wolves and so on. All would be acceptable to toss an old 13th co Wolfen in.

 

 

Thing is..........i have 35 of the old metal ones ><

I'm sorry brothers, I failed to get in touch with Phil Kelly today as I spent two hours of my time trying to get hold of my Forge World order due to poor organisation on their part, then I hooked up with some friends and the opportunity never presented itself.

 

However I shall write a letter to Mr Kelly and perhaps Jervis Johnson as well with several of our concerns so that they can review them for a FAQ later.

I did get chance to speak to him and he signed my copy of white dwarf, however when I spoke to him he was kinda swamped by kids so I didnt bother him with questions.

 

That would have been another thing, I would have felt incredibly rude shoving these huge amounts of questions upon him whilst he was surrounded. But I did say I would represent us here on the B&C and shall do that in writing to aid us in the quest for clarification.

As I was mainly concerned about new DP wolfwing army I have tried to investigate as much as I can and talked to whoever I could on the Games Day.

 

I have spoken to Phil and Alesio about the WG 'count as troops' when you take Logan and both of them confirmed that they are taken as troops and that you could take all six packs of them, that is the way they wanted it to be played anyway.

 

In regards to DP size of 10, Jarvis cleared that marines codex got it wrong, it never should be 12 marines, but as it now went too far they are not going to apply any errata so it stays twelve for C:SM, but all following marine codices are going to have ten man DPs.

 

Hope it helps you brothers!

Now if we can just get an FAQ that clears some of these things up...

Say what?

That is absolutely absurd that they didn't either FAQ that immediately to either be 10 marines or a higher cost. Or FAQ DPs to be cheaper for us.

I have been using mine as Blood claws for lack of another option but it gets confusing if you include a MOTW in any other unit... especially the blood claws!

 

Then for that one wulfen model convert him so he is more unique (bigger, even more feral, model to be the "pack leader" of the pack)

I was entered in Golden Daemon so got in early - Phil Kelly was already dealing with a small crowd even before official opening. I didn't get to speak to Phil until after 3 p.m. so didn't pester him about the rules as i thought 6 hours of it would have been enough for the man! However, I did speak to Alessio and he did confirm that the WG count as troops for FOC/scoring units. As he's doing rules development these days I'm more than happy to take that as gospel. A FAQ will only confirm what everyone should know already.

This was confirmed to me by Graham Davey. They got it wrong with C:SM and LR and DP should never have been given 12 capacity. I was always under the impression that FAQs don't correct official rules so as hilander said C:SM get to keep their new toys until their codex gets re-written. All stand alone SM codecies from SW onwards will only get capacity of 10.

A full FAQ will be coming out, but to be honest they considered a lot of the current questions to be ridiculous.

 

Alessio and Phil both said the same things: Wolf Guard are Troops when Logan is in the army. JotWW does need a line of sight to at least 1 model it hits to be used. Transports are intentionally 10 man. I forgot to ask about WGBL and Wolf Lords in Terminator with Frostblades.

of course it will prob be only 12months cause they are the smurfs after all lol

 

one thing i noticed today while reading the codex today was that for lukas and his pelt of the doppegangrel is that is says "All successful to Hit rolls specifically allocated against Lukas (not against the squad he is with) must be re-rolled" now the bit where it says "not against the squad he is with" implies that it does work somehow while he is with a squad not sure how but thats how i interpret that particular part maybe it needs more to be added to make it work.

 

my 2 cents

presume it'll be during wound allocation or something like that as he's an upgrade not an independent character so that'd not work unless the rest of the squad is dead? Will have to have a proper read
