How come BA are supposedly all gonna get Furious Charge when the Space Wolves dont...?

You have not been playing 40K for long, have you? :D

 

 

arrrgh they better not make BA too amazing therefore making the wolves redundant...

Like how Space Wolves made Codex Chapters*? Oh, Snap! :P

 

 

*Other than armies led by a Special Character or relying heavily on Storm/Hammer Terminators.

I, for one, welcome the C:BA and hope that our brothers in the struggle against the Xenos, Heretics, Mutants and Traitors will get a really awesome codex which will truly set them apart from other marines.

 

We have our specialties and they'll have theirs as is only right. They can have FC and spiffy assault troops. I really don't mind.

If I did, I'd switch :D

 

I'm looking forwards to bandwagoners heading to the BA forums (Who knows, maybe they're already busy deserting tyranid forums in favour of BA).

 

I think we should all rejoice that GW seems to be releasing lots of new goodies and, hopefully, bringing all armies up to 5th edition at a certain speed.

WS to 1? Are you lads feeling all right? That would make hitting a guardsman a struggle...

 

*chuckles into my beard*

 

I say bring it on! The Blood Angels are more combat oriented than us, which is perhaps a good thing. (So why did I pick the Wolves, considering my love of combat?)

 

Remember thatthe way we fight gives us an advantage pretty much all of the time.

 

First off we have uber-grit, allowing us to fight just as well in any circumstance.

Then we have counter-attack, just in case things don't go to plan.

 

So against the Blood Angels you'll have to be as cunning as a wolf and choose the assaults, with YOU charging, furious charge doesn't work then. :D

 

The rumour I'm more upset about (which is still unfounded) is an assault cannon Land Raider, my armoured company would kill to posess a pair of them. Then again I could always start a new army to begin working on my chapter made of other chapters...but that would make me a bandwagoner.

Well right now, all the Space Wolves band wagoneers are running to the Nid forum, and the remainder will run off to be a Blood Angel forum, so I'm quite looking forward to the new BA codex.

 

:tu:

 

And we'll have gained some brothers whose sagas will be long and inspiring.

Agreed, it'll help clear out the (chasing the newest, greatest, best thing) chaff and leave us stronger and wiser.

 

Should be seeing their unwanted minis on ebay anytime soon...

Am already seeing the switch... nids here,nids there, nids bloody well everywhere in my local group at the moment..

*shakes head* tsk tsk, these young'ins, makes me sad for the future.

Frankly, I am not convinced the Blood Angels will get Furious charge as a global rule. My statement is based on these samples of the rumours

 

Exalted: 4/4/4(5)/4/1/5/1+1/10/3+, jump troops, hit & run, furious charge, no red fury/combat tactics, power armor, stormbolter, power weapon, bolt pistol, no options, no transports.

 

Erasmus: Furious charge, digital weapons (rending), master crafted combi melta: 18" S:8 AP:1 Assault 1, melta, reroll to hit, 4+ ward save, can chose one set of special rules...

 

Now, unless I am mistaken, I think only a subset of the army list will have Furious Charge, otherwise the rule would not be specified in these entires and not the others. Of course, I perhaps place to much credit on these statements, but somehow I feel Furious Charge on marines is not a good idea, even on design purposes. Furious charge is much better than counter attack, as it gives I 5 to chargers. These chargers are not orks or eldar specialists, but marines, and in most cases will be assault marines. I think a lot of people will agree than Marines as a whole are a hard pill to swallow for a lot of armies, and a countermeasure to this has often been high initiave. I just dont see Games Workshop removing assault advantages of so many marine opponents just for the sake of the fluff.

 

My 2 cents.

I'm now planning on using my space wolf minatures but using the tyranid codex to represent thier rules as I find them more fluffy for my 13th company background :)

*throws a bloodclaw at Oldenhaller*

 

Bad, bad, bad idea.

 

*sighs* Seriously though, the only thing Ive heard about the BA that throws me is the Tantalus, and Im just going with the "the rumors are always worse than reality" bit.

*sidesteps flung bloodclaw while supping on a flagon of cheese*

 

We saw it for ours so I'm thinking it won't be long until we see it for the angels (makes much more sense for my bezerkers to have furious charge and black rage etc). What's the worse that can happen...*facepalms*

 

~O

I think the Space Wolves did fine getting Counter Attack. Makes sense to me in the "pack" feeling, fight together and all. Blood Angels are a step away from being a bezerker. Space Wolves are far from that and while feral, are not stupid. One thing to consider with Blood Angels is to get FC, you have to charge. For Space Wolves to get thier perk if charged. It is almost impossible to negate CA. Assult me, I can get a bonus, let me assult you I get a bonus anyway...win win if you ask me.

Ba have and should always have retained furious charge. They had it in 3rd. Ba have always been my second army after the wolves, I liked their CC prowess and the fact they could take tactical squads with las/plas

 

Well I dare anybody to call me a Bandwagoner, heres my Ba army ready for the codex, It was done for 3rd editioin when the Razor back had the las/plas turret, something it lost in 4th but luckily something that came back in 5th

Space Wolves have Counter-Attack on thier individual unit entries.

 

Still imagine the Flesh Tearers Jump Army.

 

(60 Assault marines as troops, HQ character with a honor guard like unit, all with Furious Charge. And as many MM Land Speeders as you can afford)

 

You cant tell me that wouldnt look and feel awesome, yea battle cannons will ruin your day, but oh well, 60 assault Marines with FC.

 

But time will tell.
