shan vener Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 hey guys. yesterday i was at my local gaming store (where else :P ) and i noticed a redundancy in the codex that neither the store owner or another player noticed. a brother hood champion has the option to buy a digital weapon when his sword already rerolls failed rolls to wound. please tell me im not the only one who noticed this.

Flinch Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 oh, i guess i just never noticed. sorry for the repeat. I wouldn't say you repeated, just that you gave in to redundancy....

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I noticed a redundancy. The brotherhood champion re-rolls fails to wound, so the option to buy a digital weapon is pointless.

Fred Johnson the 3rd jr Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Another redundancy I noticed is the one with the brotherhood champion's sword and digital weapons. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232770-stupid-redundancy/#findComment-2801009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Heretic Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Your point is? Just because the brotherhood champ is a cool dude, shouldn't he be allowed to buy that extra bling. Remember Grey Knights are supposed to be the rap stars of the marines, we get private jets, super terminators, hang out with the universes coolest hitmen and wear gigantic teleporting mecha, and then some people start to obsess about a little offensive jewelry :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/232770-stupid-redundancy/#findComment-2801031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
number6 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 its probibly meant to be master craft That would at least make some sense. It's a dumb mistake born of laziness. There is no excuse for making this kind of mistake. At least it's a harmless mistake with no other effect than to make us scratch our heads in wonderment.

(I went there.) Mat Ward is not solely to blame. There is supposedly an entire Design Studio at GW. And they supposedly "thoroughly" playtest their new rules. (How often have we heard about "all the playtesting" in White Dwarf upon a new release. Almost this exact phrase is in the current WD in reference to Fantasy Storm of Magic.) This error should have been caught. Would have been caught if GW actually did any amount of quality control. As I said, I'm grateful the mistake is ultimately harmless. But it is nevertheless indicative of GW's abhorrently sloppy quality control.

Have to agree there; Mat Ward making a mistake like that is understandable; nobody is perfect (and I found out from making a fandex just how easy it is to mess up one or two rules when writing a codex). However, for all the editors, testers, and everyone else besides Ward to also miss the goof-up is ... much less forgivable.

Brother Valerius Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Another redundancy I noticed is the one with the brotherhood champion's sword and digital weapons. ;) Have you considered applying for a job at the Department of Redundancy Department?

However, for all the editors, testers, and everyone else besides Ward to also miss the goof-up is ... much less forgivable. This. Again. Matt Ward still being allowed to create new army books and rules for both of GW's systems is a massive FAIL on GW's part. Mistakes always get through in games rules, the problem is that GWnever do anything to sort them out for months. Then the FAQ answers a load of questions that nobody asked in the first place.
