Anyone actually looking forward to a new codex?

JK i know at least someone is, but I personally dread the thought. After all, our codex is perfectly good as it is, and will only et better as more anti-flyer stuff is released.

 

Personally not looking forward to the probable nerfing of the GH/RP/LF, overdoing of giant monsters (probably wolves), and probably having to buy a diffirent army due to changes in overall playstyle.

 

Just about the only thing i look forward to is probable inclusion of werewolves, ww characters, and gargantaun wolves (its GW, i am expecting at least 2 of these.) what about you?

I always look forward to new things.

I mean, a GH nerf wouldn't be the end of the world. Something that made a decision between GHs and bloodclaws more difficult would be kinda nice. Less cookie-cutter.

 

Also, I am thinking that once codex:SM hits, we're going to be gagging for an update because there'll be nice new shinies we'll be wanting access to.

 

And I heard whispers that maybe they'll bring back wulfen packs in a new codex next year? I doubt the rumour was super reliable, though.

I look forward for a new one, but I believe there isn't a rush or a real need for one at the moment. Our codex (currently) can still hold up on it's own against new and updated armies. I'd rather have other armies done before ours come. Only because, I'd rather have whom ever writes the codex to do it right instead of having it rushed.

I'm with Maverick on this. AS much as i would like to see some updates to certain things, we can still hold our own. We even get our opponents to splutter with some of our new tactics because of updates to rules. And there are definitly codexes out there that need it WAY more then we do. And besides, some of you others are right. WE'll see some monstrous wolf thingy, we'll see them screw one unit or two that we currently love & you know they will not fix that one irritating thing we find about that other unit that if they would just fix it, we would play with on a regular basis! You know it's true!!!LOL!!!!(I'm an optimist in all things except work & GW but I still play their stupid games so what can I say.LOL!!!)wallbash.gif

Yeah, same thoughts as Mav. The new dexes are well done, so I'm sure a 6e Wolves dex will be too, but I'm in no hurry. Plus, I really like how convenient it is to use my spiral bound codex; I won't be able to do that with a hardback.

I for one is looking forward to a new dex. I do like the one we have now overral but so many units we hardly ever use since they are sub par and we lack air defence and access to a single flier. I'm also hoping for Wulfen to make a return myself. And yes a hardback would be nice.

 

I do not think they will nerf Rune priests since seriously they cost a ton compare to other psykers. Dark angels libby 65p and 95p as mastery 2 or an eldar psyker with mastery 3 for 100p + alot of other options and bonuses. Since we can't even mix our own powers with the ones from the rule book i'd claim Rune priests are not as strong as they seemed in 5th.

I think what makes a runepriest strong is his psychic defense

 

which has been significantly weakened on two examples above

 

not sure grey hunters will be nerfed they seem to be one of these units like plague marines that are strong in every edition

I bet they'll bring rune priests more in line with the other psykers. Weaker psychic defence, but possibly 65/100 for level 1/2, or thereabouts. And presumably when we see a new codex, our psychic powers will be in the form of a "wolfy" discipline, which will be randomly generated and able to be mixed with divination etc.

I won't mind a new 'dex. If it turns out to be a lemon the group I game with often reverts to playing with the original RT rules. It can be used with little tweaks to represent anything on the table now. The fluff is way better. Plus there's cool stuff like marines with shuriken launchers.

I would be happier if GW would release an entire edition at the same time rather than this staggerd incremental release business.  There are alway races left out or lagging behind and there are always units that are too strong that need tweeking or nerfing.  Get their :cusse together, actually playtest in depth, fix the bug and tweek what's needed then release the New Edition all at once....models and all.  Piece-meal is petty and annoying and has only gotten moreso over the years.

I'd be happy with a new dex, having seen what's been done with Tau and Eldar it seems Games Workshop is doing a great job with its new releases, I'm sure they'd do the same with the Space Wolves. And how awesome would it be to have a Wolf Lord with his own warlord traits? Anything that increases the epic in this codex is a good thing.

Please by the Allfather let there be no giant wolves in a new codex, or longships or any other silly giant beastie or walker. Space Marines dont have them never had never will, thats what the titan legions and guard tanks are for. Just give us back our Leman Russ tanks to take down MCs.thumbsup.gif

I'd be happy with a generic Bran Redmaw option. I.e. if they made the Redmaw's special rules an option for wolf lords to take (uber-mega-alpha curse, or whatever you want to call it).

And then if they followed that "wargear" option with a large model (i.e. of a size with an avatar or greater daemon maybe) which could be used as Bran Redmaw, or a DIA wolf lord I'd be a very happy chappy. Just like the Thunderlord can be used as Harald, but isn't sold specifically AS Harald.

I don't think I'd be interested in something like "oh yeah, by the way. You know how there's fenrisian wolves. And then there's thunder wolves but they're bigger? Well there's also megapewpewwolves which are titan size! And there are winged wolf flyers too!" That's taking it WAY out of my personal comfort zone. Fenrisian/Thunder wolves I dig in a big way. Bran's curse, I like. Wouldn't want to go much beyond that, though smile.png

I would much rather an faq where they clear up the current Dex things that are contested (runic armor, runic weapons etc.) And then gives us flak missiles for some anti air and then they can let us be for a while

I completely agree. Give us some flakk options, faq runic weapons, SotH and runic armour, and give us access to a flyer and our dex would be great. That flyer isn't very important as long as we get flakk missiles. Hell even an upgrade for dreads to have skyfire and I would be happier then a heretic at a slaanesh party.

 

I love our dex and the only units I would like to see worked over are the "claw" units. Give Blood Claws and such furious charge and I bet they would get used more. Our HQ's are a bit pricey by comparison to some of the new dex's, but its nothing unreasonable.

 

Oh yeah, an army wide rule to replace acute senses would be nice as it only gets used by wolf scouts and SotH units.

 

I always look forward to new content, but as I get older, change becomes a more daunting proposition.

 

Orks, sisters, and BT need a new dex way more then we do. If only to get them to stop whinning.
