Interrogator Stobz Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Isnt the UM codex always the first codex in each edition? I'd say it won't be this Edition Brother, GW have just (re)-released the digital upgrade to C:UM. No way they would have gone to all that effort to then release a totally different version. It is essentially the first now anyway :D C:CSM and C:DA next, fo sho ;) s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_angel Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Agreed. Seems like GW have done a u-turn with their approach lately. With WD potentially a test-bed for new rules, Forgeworld now 'legal' in a tournament sense and dipping into digital products, I think there's plenty of mileage left in most 5th ed codices. Something which can only be a good thing. Assuming the rumors above are true it raises some interesting points. For example Belial may no longer be the go-to HQ of choice (assuming DW are troops as standard). Will we see a shift towards Libbies or Int Chaplains with termie armour?

Brother Immolator Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Interrogators are a great choice and quite a dueler. They have a very good stat line and that crozius everyone got nagging is pure win. I would be happy even if they stayed as they are. Isnt the UM codex always the first codex in each edition?

I havent been up to date with those digital releases to be honest so i prob missed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cypherthefallenangel Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dont remember for the rest, but the codex we have now was the final codex of 4th edition and a pilot for the UM codex of 5th.It was not a 5th edition codex. Im pretty sure that chaos marines were the last 4ed dex it was released in 07. The DA dex was released in 06 and SM dex was released in 08.

Dont know for chaos but you are right on the dates on SM and DA. SM was 5th though. I am pretty sure DA was the last. Even if it wasnt, it was 4th non the less and that was my point :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure of the content as I don't have an i-device and live in an unsupported country, but on the GW site today they claim to have re-released the SM digital dex. I'm assuming its a poke the 6th FAQ into it type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Yep, that's they say they've done, Codex: Space Marines with the latest amendments. We have now updated the digital edition of Codex: Space Marines for the new edition of Warhammer 40,000. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/...tiPageMode=true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosper Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm thinking there will be multiple Deathwing HQ options, all of them unlocking Deathwing as troops. So you could play a full deathwing army without Belial, which makes sense to me. He wont always be at every deathwing battle. Hopefully the same will be true for Ravenwing; you could get a very cheap ravenwing HQ on a bike that unlocks ravenwing without having to spend a ton of points on sammy. They should bring back The Fallen rule. Roll a dice at the beginning of the game. On a 4+ one of the opposing army units might have knowledge of The Fallen. Roll a dice to determine which unit has such knowledge. Double victory points are rewarded if that unit is destroyed. (In the fluff it wont be destroyed, but captured and interrogated.) That way you get a 'The Fallen' rule that you can use every game. I agree with no GW-model for Belial. I agree it is like a rite of passage for a Deathwing player. I can remember deciding on going with Deathwing and discovering that there is no GW-model for him. More research revealed to me that people just made their own Belial. What? Thats awesome. I can model my own special character with up to three different load outs? yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the 6th ed challenge rules, i could quite imaging something along these lines cropping up in our codex. It'll likely involve choosing an enemy IC and having to defeat (capture) them in CC through an issued challenge. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al QUOTE -Interrogator Chaplains all units within 12" are fearless, not just his own squad Rerolls misses and wounds in challenges. Interrogator chaplains that win challenges against Independent Characters give +1 victory point in a mission that uses victory points. C-C-C-C-COMBOOOOOOOO! Hah, an incentive like that could give me the zeal for an "AllRushMidThatManIsADeadMan" type game. Could get excited about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGumbo Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I ... live in an unsupported country I know NZ is remote but "unsupported" sounds pretty dangerous to me - you guys still have gravity, don't you? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 lqtm, we just can't get the digital books from GW. May be due to the lesser gravitational pull, I'm not sure. Hell, we are supplying GW with the Hobbit, the least they could do is supply us with a purchase ability. AND NOT ON APPLE!!!! please. :blush: stobz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
