Khine Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 .. Psyker Schools. Similar to Fantasy Magic. SW get to choose from Telekinesis, Biomancy and i think it was Clairvoyance ( Roll for what spells you can get as when/if you choose one of these three) as well as our Codex Powers All i am going to say.

norskman Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wow, to be perfectly honest I think that sounds like fun. Psykers have always been one of the more interesting bits of 40k fluff to me, and to see them getting some more focus feels cool. I just hope that they aren't too game-changing.

CainTheHunter Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I guess I am finally buying a WD (what a shame :) ), Is it still 2/3 full of advertisments, then Jervis article in the middle with ideas what we should buy and a couple of painting articles with newest stuff for THE Hobby?

Much <3. I like the idea of psyker love and more focus on it, but I hope it doesn't become a necessity. I always take a RP as my HQ, but fluffwise, to me, the Lords/Commanders should be the obvious front-and-center choice and even now it doesn't feel that way. Also, I hope you're right about using our own codex powers. I would hate it if our iconic, fluff-soaked powers got replaced with cookie cutter powers that are the same whether you're a meager IG psyker or a powerful Eldar warlock. Whatever the case, I think I need to get to work on making more rune priests in PA. =P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254355-this-weeks-wd/#findComment-3089238 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iacton Qruze Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Will be interesting to see what kind of powers are in those schools, and if they manage to surpass our current staple powers.

Roland Durendal Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Word on the street is Clairvoyance has a power which allows you to shoot at your normal Ballistic Skill if you fire in Overwatch. If that's the case, GH's will be even more powerful - shoot charging enemy, do some wounds, get charged, roll counter attack, and hit them even more. Looks like RP's will become even more prevalent.

Assuming, that is, we get that school. One current rumour is many armies don't even get access to the new powers. Which I'm finding very hard to believe, but you never know with GW. GW Exec 1: "Hey, let's make these new powers AMAZING but then limit them to just a few factions so people have to buy a new army!" GW Exec 2: "Oh God! That's the greatest idea EVER!!1112!!"

Marmande Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Wonder how the new powers will compare to the codex ones; at first glance Biomancy seems to be the more subtle power - rumored to give you normal Ballistic Skill for Snapfire and maybe increase to Toughness looking at the pictures.

CainTheHunter Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 What is the most important piece of info we don't know yet, is if we really have to roll for powers now like we do for magic spells in fantasy? If yes, then I'd rather stick with psi-powers from C;SW since they are more SW play-style oriented and even if I roll some crap (thunderclap), I still have some chances to roll a decent second power. And IF the powers are chosen randomly, I'd expect Master of Runes to be errated to state that the Rune Priest actually knows all psi-powers and can choose those he intends to use (pretty much like Seerstaff for High Elves). Also, I'd predict that Njal will see the table a bit more often - and he is actually a damn good psyker, it's just that his points-cost is quite prohibitive.

Quillen Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Oh lordy it's 2nd edition all over again. They could not think iof something new and just redid 2nd edition. Good grief. Dark Milinium cards here we go. It's the same. Painfully the same. I liked 2nd ed thou. So cool in a way. And a huge let down in another. I loved 3rd/4th edition way better. Codex were more balanced and it was a tourny style of game play. Seems they gave up on that. Also wish that was in english. Which ones is space wolves. No clue what it is in spanish.

Just saying. I also hear that you pick i think .. 1 or 2 Disciplines and then get to choose what powers they know based on Mastery.

I am guessing that's the second row from the top. I don't speak Spanish, but there was that song by Shakira and there were wolves and it was called something "Lobos" and I assume that technically she speaks Spanish... If she does not then we are all screwed. i'm hoping we get his special power in transports again. Just saying. Fixed - we never had his powers working in transports. Unless, he's in power armor in the Rhino (but I stand to be correct here, since I've never fielded him in Rhino). I just know that while in the Land Raider nothing works, since LR has 0 access points and most of his powers are like shooting based.

CainTheHunter Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 btw english..http://imgur.com/a/Fbh2R This one is much better in quality! Funny that from all Space Marines, Wolves seem to have the least access to psychic schools (apart from Black Templars, but they are not really space marines anyways - ok, just kidding) - just three schools, while the rest have at least 4. Well, GK have 3 checks as well. Maybe that's because both SW and GK rely on their own "lores". BA have 4 lores, but apart from their Demon Prince, they don't do psychics that much. And no powers for Tau, Orks, SoB, Crons and Dark Eldar (ok, so nothing changes for my secondary army :angry: ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254355-this-weeks-wd/#findComment-3090090 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbrow II Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Rumour from BoW is that you can choose to get either Overwatch/snap fire or Counter-Attack but not both. As for random powers, I'm hoping that I can keep taking Jaws instead of having to roll for it or taking Njal.
