Rune Priest Ridcully Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Not sure if it's been posted, but got an email from FW includign this linkhttp://www.forgeworld.co.uk/News/Legiones_Astartes_Campaign_Armylist.htmlThe legion army list is being released separate from the big tomes, and includes all units from the first three books.Depending on the price this could be a very good alternative to Betrayal, hopefully allowing non SOH/EC/DG to have their rules for under £100 :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290445-heresy-armylist/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nakuth Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Looks like they've created two new books. Generic Legions army list. Istvaan campaign Legions. The two books together. 30 pounds a pop for the two books, or 60 for the pair. Not too bad, I guess. A neat addition for those who want the lists without the excess fluff, or those who don't want to carry the massive books around with them just to game.

Phoros Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 It's supposedly also got updated rules, like World Eaters getting +1 WS in challenges. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290445-heresy-armylist/#findComment-3670482 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Teeth Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 "Not too bad, I guess." Not too bad . It's fantastic! £30 is the same as a regular codex from GW, so it's not even priced at a premium! Sure, you might need the Isstvan book for your Legion but you certainly don't need it. This book removes one of the biggest hurdles into getting into 30k for people: The downpayment on literature.

m_r_parker Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Yet again another solid decision from ForgeWorld, GW could learn a thing or two from these guys... Having picked up the Collectors Edition of Extermination from the Open Day earlier in the year I can attest to just how great these combined army list rule books are, expecially the generic army list one. Sure you don't get the amazing background, art pieces and fluff from the regular books, but for 100 pages you get the core Crusade army list (including FAQ and updates) from all three books with a concise special rule and wargear section at the back, and for £30 I consider that a steal. Ditto for the Legion rules. Not just a great entry point for people thinking about the 30k gaming mechanics (I would still say that the regular books are a great place to start, as the level of detail in the main trilogy of books is astonishing), but I can see a lot of people who already have the main books buying these simply for gaming purposes and carrying around. But they're in red?!?!? The ones in the Collectors Edition were black, like the other books and hence match quite nicely. That red is simply cooler though - I want a red one!!!

jeremy1391 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Hopefully by the time my birthday rolls around there will be IF upgrades available.... I see a big FW order in my future ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/290445-heresy-armylist/#findComment-3670729 Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Angel Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Oops, must have missed this thread. Sorry mods. Anyway, this is great because I can collect a non isstvan legion without the 1st and 2nd books.

Dusktiger Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 oh i know i'll be ordering the army list book. since i'm planning on going IF, i'll probably just photocopy the legion rules/units from book three and keep them tucked in the back of this book as quick reference sheets. and yay, red; my favorite color.
