Dark Angel on front cover?

I'm really psyched up about the powers (yes, awful pun).

 

Biomancy: only 5/16 armies have it ( SM, SW, BA, IG, Tir)

Divination: 5/16 (SW, DA, BA, GK, Eldar)

Pyromancy: 5/16 (SM, DA, GK, CSM, IG)

Telekinesis: 8/16 (SM, SW, DA, BA, GK, CSM, IG, Tir)

Telepathy: 7/16 (SM, DA, BA, CSM, Eldar, IG, Tir)

 

Armies with 0 powers: BT, Daemons, Tau, DE, SoB, Necrons, Orkz (7/16 guys have 0!!!!!!!! powers!)

 

The Eldar only have 2 powers? WTH?

 

I mean, it says you can keep your codex powers or get the generic ones, but still...

 

And nobody has them all...

Daemons have none!, C:CSM have a few, Eldar have bugger all too. These armies should have all the options IMHO.

My thoughts are that this is some sort of attempt to balance the powers, I'm thinking it will fail in the long run but I live happily as an optimistic cynic.

Daemons never have had "psychic" powers, they've had "Daemon" powers which are not blockable by my DA Psyk Hood... I imagine that new codexes will have specific powers "gifted" to races.

 

This is true. Whereas mortals must reach into the Warp to use their powers, Daemons are the Warp and use them freely.

So So excited to see this. To me at least it puts to bed a couple of things.

 

1) We will not be folded into (despite the loud clamour from some quarters) the space marine codices for at least this edition.

 

2) We have the prospect of some kind of shiny new models coming very soon.

 

3) Some kind of direction is being concocted up for us just by the very fact that we've been segregated in the psychic charts from all other marines.

 

I just screamed like a lil girl when I saw this.

 

Thank goodness I don't have to run in and look at the spine of the White Dwarf each month now like some kind of DA junkie...:D

Would a kindly mod please split the Psychic discussion out of this thread into a new one? It's something we are going to want to discuss separate but it started in here...

This!

 

Lets sort through some powers...

 

Mind Worm = Telepathic

The "I" save one = Telekinetic

The force storm one = Pyrae

What is our divination power?

Yeah i hope for some new models, would be sweet, i just wonder will they replace our 2nd Edition IC models? Or just add new models?

That with the spine of the WD was mentioned by a friend to me, who just bought the WD for flyer rules, there it was clear its a DA^^...but ;) how the WD has changed since i last read one, mostly pics and advertising only for 7€! :huh:

 

Thats why i wont scream like a girl, i take with alot salt&pepper...i just dont like the fact that it will become expensive again for me, esp if they bring new models...my plan was to buy our new Codex only, for my friend will buy the BRB for sure, but now im tempted <_<

 

And those sneaky suckers just made a price raise recently, now they bring new edition which serves fine for a reason to bring another raise the next 365 days!

 

What i admire about GW is their business plan, its perfect and totally without competition...as a "customer" (say victim) they have lost me some years ago...

 

But i guess i will fall for their evil plan again... :cuss

 

Edit: On a german 40k rumour site i read about that FW got GWs permission to bring preheresy armybooks? Anyone here heard about that? Id be MUCH more tempted for that ehehehe...would be a pure pleasure to just KILL some Emperor-cursed Traitors!

Well, while I like Azrael's model, it's too small, hopefully that one will be re-done. I know I'm in the minority here, but I have never liked Ezekiel's model and Asmodiapphon is too covered up, really only like the helmet for that one, so I hope those get remade with new blanks as well. It's awesome that we might finally get some spot-light lovin' since we're on the cover.

 

Edit: B-C Nemiel, check out the Rumors board in Amicus Aedes section.

...really only like the helmet for that one...

 

Yeah, but what a helmet! :P

 

I think if new range will come up, it's safe to assume new everything. Although, come to think of it, the BAs kept Mephiston and Tycho... :)

linky-dink :)

 

Regarding the cover....I think it is really positive that the DA seem to be heading towards being the poster boys for Power Armour in 6th Ed, especially as we're getting access to different sets of psychic powers .... the Divination set in particular, which is available only to DA, SW, BA, GK and Eldar, has the potential to be very powerful! :P

A love it because I'm a DA to the core (it's my one and only army), but I don't like it because it seems like a slight to all the other armies.While the thunder hammer/shield motif they portrayed on the last couple editions is obviously a nod to the Imperium, it is at least neutral enough to represent "warhammer" in general.

 

Emperor forbid, but if I were a xenos or traitor/chaos player, I might cover it. :o

This!

I don't think they are assigning current powers to lores. They are just making those army specific. We will then also get access to our specified 'lores' from the big rule book. Just like it works in Fantasy.

So... From the days of the "First Grand Campaign", set in the stage of "Third Armageddon War", through the "13th Black Crusade" from the Eye of Terror, in to our "dreaded 4th edition rulebook"...

- The 200x years were a dread to watch from aside, with Something Great that assembled the Community together like none-other. To giving something that was made as "completely unique", and then given away to every other chapter in the universe....

 

When the hate-mail was being organized of sending "ripped apart Codex Dark Angels in to Games Workshop HQ", I just told myself that I'll be on hiatus until the storm settles, and quietly increase the amount of troops in my Reserve, and drench myself with the books of tales long gone. This is the very moment I've awaited for. As the rumor mill has been getting more and more accurate by the day, the moment to Raise the Battlefleets has come, and the Companies to be prepared with new paint-jobs, and to be loaded to the Battle Barge fleet I have kept on stand-by.

 

- At long last, it is time to awaken, and as everyone else will be taking baby-steps with their armies on the "New Rules", they shall not find us wanting. Second edition is clear as day within me even 18 years since I started, Sixth won't be different.

- Time to show the new boys(Grey Knights) what the Deathwing are renown for, and why the Inquisition does not want to get in the way of the "Unforgiven".

 

Give me a Heavenfall Blade that is worthy of that name once more, and I will have my very soul back, and a reason to return to fighting once more.

 

---| Thought of the day: "Patience is what wins wars. The right moment to strike is what wins battles." |---

Yeah reynolds, i pretty much know what youre feeling there...i hope this will stop all those comments ala: "If you want to play a nice army with awesome fluff, go DA, if you want to win play something else!"

 

Even one of our local best powergamers was writing a DA list for 6th edition...and THAT tells me something ;)

Daemons never have had "psychic" powers, they've had "Daemon" powers which are not blockable by my DA Psyk Hood... I imagine that new codexes will have specific powers "gifted" to races.

 

Yeah mate, I'm aware of the no powers thing, I don't play WHFB but my thoughts are that these Lores or whatever they are called will be over and above the psychic (whether powers or just warp use) abilities of the current dex rules.

In that light I would have thought they would have a greater access to table influencing warp mischief. I guess it will come down to how it is implemented in 6th as it may just represent the dexes current powers.

 

Looks like all the DA players of old are rekindling their spirits, awesome growth in the DA community is imminent!!!.

 

:lol:
