JamesI Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 I just know the new codex is going to hit while I'm on vacation next month and unable to get my hands on a copy....

Bartali Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 One of the rumours is that BA will have a one week release at the end of October with no models. If that's the case, when we would start hearing about the associated White Dwarf ? Next week ?

marine7312000 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If release date is the case, I'm about 95% sure we would see it in the WD next week. I highly doubt GW will be doing a one week BA release however.

knife&fork Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 We should probably have seen it about a month ago. The lack of any solid rumors or preorders likely means it will be some time yet before it drops.

Bartali Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 The Grey Knights codex was a one week release, and I'm remember that kind of came out of the blue. Be interesting to see what next week's White Dwarf is anyhoo.

ElectricPaladin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Another thing I'm hoping for? I'd love for our techmarines to gain the Independent Character USR so I can finally use them in their support role. I totally get why we don't have masters of the forge and thunderfire cannons. That's cool. But I feel like techmarines are totally useless as they are now.

ElectricPaladin Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I would really appreciate any reason to paint my kitbashed Bolter wielding techmarine.. And I'd like a chance to use the techmarine that was originally part of my Exorcists army (all I had to do was repaint the one arm, so I kept him when I traded away the rest of the models).

thebymster Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I wonder if the cover of the new Lemartes: Guardians of the Lost is the cover for our Codex? Someone over on Faeit 212 said they saw it briefly on the Games Workshop website and that it was a figure surrounded by fire, but was difficult to make out because it had the sold out logo over it. I was bored and I mocked this up in Photoshop. It looks kinda cool, but I have my doubts that it's it. Thoughts? http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VUH28zPy-F8/VD8g2vtUW0I/AAAAAAAABGQ/wGRNA6Bv2KE/s1600/IsThisTheBloodAngelsCover.jpg I think that looks ED-ZACHARY like a new hard back dex! Single figure ready to be embossed so his rubbish anatomy (drawing of) gets over looked! I wouldn't be surprised if it were cropped a little closer though- see space wolves.

thebymster Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 The thirst shouldn't be only be reflected by positive rules, hence why randomness is necessary. It is supposed to represent the blood angels biggest flaw/weakness. I'm fine with random mechanics provided it's something easy to adjudicate. The problem is that GW always comes to the "let's add another chart" decision. It's lazy design and charts are cumbersome. Secondly, not everything that's in the fluff needs to translate into the rules and there are definitely ways Red Thirst could be accomplished without using some sort of random mechanic. Hardback dex are cumbersome! You HAVE to use two hands, and some table space, to look anything up! I'm bored of them already. Keep your fancy embossing, give us sommat we can WIELD!

Jolemai Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Personally I like the hardback books as they are more durable. Try as I might to look after the softback book it does take damage easier :( The ebooks are OK I guess, but it depends on the format and size. Scrolling through over 100 pages is annoying (I know there's a search function but in the absence of a contents/index page...) In my opinion: A softback is STR: user, AP3,A hardback is STR +1, AP2, UnwieldyA eBook is STR -1, AP4 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/44/#findComment-3841569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafen IX Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Yeah but at STR +1 AP2 even with your high initiative you're striking last ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/44/#findComment-3841585 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remtek Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Christmas release would make sense if they are releasing new models compatible with other codecies, to capitalize on the shopping spree. Perhaps Mephiston is getting a sled too? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/285142-what-2014-will-bring/page/44/#findComment-3841623 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Off topic, but I preferred the soft back books, because I could take them to my local FEDEX/Kinkos and get them spiral bound. Once bound like that, then I could open to any page and fold over, and it would stay open to the page where I wanted it. Very, very, handy.

ElectricPaladin Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 No, a hardback codex is just S user AP 3. The old BRB is S +1 AP 2 Unwieldy. The new BRBs are S user, AP 3, Shred.

FWIW, that's a lot more expensive. Turning a softcover book into a spiral bound book, even with relaminating the front and back covers, is apparently only $30ish, but printing that many pages, then binding them is - IIRC - up to $100.

I don't think the binder at Kinkos can handle taking one of our current hardcovers and doing what we were able to do in past.
