Grimtooth Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Hahahahahaha! Joking aside, I have been in several discussions regarding rune priests being untouched by the 6th edition changes to psychic defense. In fact, it appears that our rune priests have been made even better at psychic defense then before. So how does that direct me here? I am getting freakin' pumped for your new codex release!! If things trend the way it appears, it seems that the legacy of our Legions will be played out quite nicely in the rules. There is no doubt in my mind that the Thousand Sons are going to be some psychic sons of female Fenrisian wolves!. With the introduction of the Brotherhood of Psykers rule in the GK codex and the new psychic mechanics of 6th, I am eagerly awaiting to test our psychic defenses against the lot of you. Seriously, 13yrs into this hobby and I have literally only played against one pure Thousand Sons list as a SW player. A solid Chaos dex will bring more Thousand Sons players to the tables and tournaments, which is always a good thing for both of our factions. Are there any solid Chaos codex rumors specifically regarding the Thousand Sons? Please share if so and of course some good natured trash talking is welcome as well.....lol!

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I agree, I have played wolves a couple of times with my Thousand sons, but never played thousand sons when I was using My wolves (probably should give them a spin again :)) Am not sure on the rumor front myself though.

Ethrion Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Seriously, 13yrs into this hobby and I have literally only played against one pure Thousand Sons list as a SW player. Wow, that's awful! I play a pure Thousand Sons army against a couple of my Space Wolf mates pretty much once or twice a month. We have a great rivalry and back story developed now.

Iron Warrior w/ Servo Arm Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Well, to be honest I have never met a Space Wolf player in my 13 years. Most marines I play against are BA or BT. One guy had DA. Would love to play against a SW though. As for TS rumours, not sure. Maybe we will get "All is Dust" special rule again. ;) EDIT: Well there was one guy who collected SW minis as he loved them. But he plays Skaven...

Grimtooth Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 As a fan of the conflict I woud like to see the following; 1. A return to the whole sacred numbers, but with actual mechanics to match Brotherhhod of Psykers somewhat with a dedicated sorceror as the focal point. 2. Incorporate a better Rubric Marine. 3. Cult specific powers to macth the different Prospero cults; corvidae, etc, etc. 4. Cybernetic constructs. 5. A great representation of the Sekmet. 6. More to come as I brainstorm more.

Zeratil Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The only rumors that seem reliable on the Thousands Sons are that their bolters will remain AP3 and they still have relentless (for some reason.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimtooth Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Just thought of another; 7. Perils of the Warp wont kill, but trigger a flesh change into a Tzneetch daemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 But seriously, the SW psychic defense is just damn unbalanced... I'm expecting a FAQ of it shortly. I mean, not one but THREE separate saves after another? In fairness, the new codex will be extremely nice, but our lovely Thousand Sons got quite buffed with the new rules as it is! So far the telepathic primaris power has killed a fair number of space wolves for me, and that's because I have rolled like crap on the chart and have been forced to take it! Rolling 4+ on that chart is quite awesome and devastating...unfortunately I have yet to roll over 3 on it... :P It seems like every single thing in the new rulebook, apart from overwatch, buffed Thousand Sons! I'm a happy camper! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justcar Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I'm no member of the corvidae, but the fact that the brotherhood of psykers rule is labeled as "brotherhood of psykers/sorcerers" should tell you what they have in mind. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is as a opponent across the table hoping to see them represented as they have been written in Thousand Sons, Prospero Burns, and Battle of the Fang.

Ju'kosian Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I've got a pure thousand sons army (first army) and since recently a space wolve army LOL altough I do not keep them in the same cabinet, you never know... Bah brotherhood of sorcerors ? that's rediculous, (except maybe for chosen) since rubrics are just mindless automatons.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 It would certainly make Chosen Sorcerers less awesome if they all have to work together to do stuff they used to be able to spam as individuals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way they die and are cast to the warp :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Furyou Miko Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Ooh, that would be awesome. Aspiring Sorcerers as an upgrade for Cultist squads, and when the Sorcerer suffers Perils, the Cultists "get" to make Look Out Sir! rolls for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you can increase the AP or S of a power by 'burning' a cultist in the unit. Kind of how marker lights work for Tau, only we use human souls ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
