Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I figure there will be more than a few perplexing details of the new codex, so thought I'd start a thread and maybe help a brother or sister out. I'll start: What is the point of the Great Company formation in the book?

Squark Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Not sure we need yet another thread. Hat being said, as long as the wolf lord is alive, the entire formation has fear and furious charge. Beyond that... Ungh, not going to type a huge commentary on GW's goals for the hobby on my phone.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 the intention of this thread is to get questions we have on reading the codex asked and hopefully answered without digging through pages of rumors. Yea, i got that from reading it. But is it like an Apoc sheet (which already exists) or for normal game play? it seems small to me for an entire great company.

skeletoro Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 normal game play. to be honest, it's so constraining I cant imagine ever taking that over a CAD and/or SWU detachment. There are other ways to get furious charge anyway if you really want them.

Squark Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Oh. It's for normal play, much like the formations from the dataslates on black library. I suspect most formations from this point on will be usable in all games.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thats what I was thinking, but i've been known to miss details and thought I'd ask.

SonOfThunder Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Stupid question, one of the options for skyclaws in the spanish codex is plasma cannons (right before plasma pistols). Can someone with the english codex please confirm that it's actually supposed to be plasma guns?. The order of options is: - Flamer - Melta gun - Plasma cannon - Plasma pistol ... It makes no sense whatsoever and I guess they'll faq it if it was a translation error.

Valor Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 If I upgrade a GH squad for each person to have a CCW, then upgrade to a WGPL would he be equipped with a BP, Chainsword, and CCW? Reason I ask is bc to give him a Combi-weapon, it says replace a bolter or melee weapon. I would like to give him a Combi but keep his bp/CCW. Would that work?

Reason I ask is bc to give him a Combi-weapon, it says replace a bolter or melee weapon. I would like to give him a Combi but keep his bp/CCW. Would that work? I believe the upgrade is on a per-model basis, and wolf guard are not eligible for it (nor are Grey hunters with power weapons, since the lower weapon replaces the Boltgun, I believe) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294832-new-codex-questions/#findComment-3771005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valor Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 In the codex listing it just says "any model may take a close combat weapon". I take that as the bp/chainsword WGPL would also add a CCW to his wargear.

Valor Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 And I think the same would apply for the squad member getting a PW. He would replace his BP for one, and then would be armed with a bolter, PW, and CCW.

Jarl Kjaran Coldheart Posted August 9, 2014 Author Share Posted August 9, 2014 mis-print or now useless model? Wolf Priest, Oath of War "The Wolf Priest can nominate one unit type at the beginning of the game-for example, Infantry or Monstrous Creature. If he does, the Wolf Priest has the Preferred Enemy special rule against models with that unit type." page 52So he now longer gives re-rolls to units, just himself?

Valor Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Preferred enemy in 7th works for the whole squad if one person has it. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294832-new-codex-questions/#findComment-3771071 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valerian Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 In the codex listing it just says "any model may take a close combat weapon". I take that as the bp/chainsword WGPL would also add a CCW to his wargear. I'm away from my codex right now, but IIRC, the WGPL gives up his Bolter when you upgrade the model from one of your Grey Hunters, and he comes with Bolt Pistol and CCW automatically. Then, to get a Combi-weapon, you have to trade in either your Bolt Pistol or CCW.

Twipp Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I have a question about Wolf Claw and Frost Blade(sword). They both are 20 points and you find both of them in "melee weapons" list. Both are identical except Claw give rules Shred and Special Weapon.. Is there really any reasons to pick up Frost sword rather than Wolf Claw?

Ju'kosian Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 And it's already online too. So far haven't found the part where we can take more then 2 hq in a normal force chart?? I compared my list(s) to the new dex and point wise things stay around the same, besides the fact my grey hunters don't have the banner and sadly the mark of the wulfen..
