Apparent 7th Grey Knight codex information


VVolf

Recommended Posts

I have taken this from waaaggaming and have not confirmed if it is true but...

 

For our english friends, I try to translate these information:

 

It is very likely that we will see the Codex some time soon.

The Interactive Edition of the Space Wolves Codex contains the Army Builder for the Grey Knights including points cost.

 

- Libby (Librarian?) much cheaper

- Terminators cheaper (2 points more than a Chaos Terminator, still Troops Choice)

- no new Units

- Inquisition no longer in the Codex

- Draigo Lord of War

 

There is more to read:

Techmarine is still in the Codex

Mordrak and Thawn are out, same for every entry without a modell

 

- Points cost of the Strike Squad is unchanged

- The number of heavy Weapons in a squad has not changed

- halberd costs 2 pts for all units, falchions 4, warding staff 5 and hammer 10

- The ranged weapons have been changed, flamer 5, psilencer 10, psycannon 15

- The close combat weapons for the terminators cost the same as for the non terminators but ranged weapons are 5 points more

- Libby (Librarian?) much cheaper

- Terminators cheaper (2 points more than a Chaos Terminator, still Troops Choice)

- no new Units

- Inquisition no longer in the Codex

- Draigo Lord of War

 

Cheaper Librarian is excellent, he's currently overpriced compared to a GM. Mastery upgrade is probably the same though, so we save probably 50 points all up. 

Cheaper Terminators I like

No new units is cool, it means they won't nerf the hell out of our existing roster to push some new kits (vis a vis, Ork codex)

Inquisition gone was expected. Functionally it changes nothing, just take Coteaz allied. 

Draigo is meh, again largely expected after they moved Ghaz in the Ork dex. 

Techmarine is still in the Codex

Mordrak and Thawn are out, same for every entry without a modell

 

(free shrugs) With 'Reconstruction' gone, Tech-Marines don't much going for them besides conversion beamers and orbital strike relays. 

Losing our characters is lame, we don't have many to begin with. 

- Points cost of the Strike Squad is unchanged

- The number of heavy Weapons in a squad has not changed

- halberd costs 2 pts for all units, falchions 4, warding staff 5 and hammer 10

- The ranged weapons have been changed, flamer 5, psilencer 10, psycannon 15

- The close combat weapons for the terminators cost the same as for the non terminators but ranged weapons are 5 points more 

 

Terminators are pretty competitve now then. For 34 points you get a Termie with 3A's, compared to 24 for a Strike Knight. Warding staff still 1 per squad? If not expect it to get spammed hard. Hammers going to 10 doesn't matter much, we only ever take 1-2 normally. 

Incinerator cost going down is a huge boon to Interceptors, they'll love that. Psilencer is probably still worthless. Psycannon price hike was expected, given how much we spam them in every list. Ranged costing 5 points more on Terminators is expected, due to Relentless. 

 

We'll see how much proves true, and what else has changed. I'm kinda okay with it so far. 

Here is some more:

A user of the main french warhammer forum (http://www.warhammer-forum.com/index...ic=221485&st=0) who bought the digital 
edition of the SW codex 
today reported that this new digital codex include a brand new army list builder 
app. But, what interest us, is that he also said that he was able to see in this 
new tool a different GK 
army list than the current one, maybe from the upcoming dex (due to a bug). Here 
is what he reported, of course i cannot tell you if this is 100% legit :

SO no more 
inquisition stuff on the dex. 

ps : as i'm french too i apology for the bad english 
 

Based on the layout of a screenshot that I've now seen, the 'Grand Master' is an upgrade option within the Brother-Captain screen of the digital tool. I doubt that it would play out that same way in a hardback codex, but it is interesting nonetheless.

EDIT:

Points costs have been erased:

It's very surprising that all Marines in our dex are getting more expensive (terminators are essentially the same because they have to pay for weapons now).

Especially considering the general price reductions gw have been doing for bade models. Making our already expensive and uncompetitive army even more so.

 

I'm even more intrigued to what they actually do with our dex now.

Apparently after a bit a googling, it's more likely that the army builder was waaaay incomplete, as apparently there were practically no vehicles present.

And there is no option for psybolts. We've had them for ages, would also make our only viable anti armour (psydreads) far less effective.

 

I seriously hope that it's just very much incomplete with these options missing.

It's hard to say with GW these days but I don't think they are gonna cut the GK off at the knees. Model sales would go down and that's really not what they're after. I'm really hoping that this is all just bogus info and very inaccurate especially since I just completed the painting of my army, my only second completely painted army in 20+ years. Let's just wait and see. *mumble grumble* AND even have my first ever assassin painted with it, humph. And take away our nemesis weapons, might as well give us chocolate chip cookies with out the chocolate chip! Just gonna haveta wait and see, always waiting (insert whistling here)

These rumors need to be taken with a heap of salt imo. TDA GK's getting a significant points decrease while Strikes stay the same or possibly even increase? I HIGHLY doubt that.

There's no reason for GW to remove Psybolt Ammo.

Also I'd be incredibly surprised if GW removed whole swaths of Inquisition units from our codex and then didn't give us any new units.

Considering what happened to Orks, I would not be surprised. In fact I'd be perfectly happy if we got nothing new. Introducing new units inevitably means burying old staples with nerfs, so the new kits sell. 

At that price, Termies will become a no-brainer. Also, NDK with teleporter, if it's cheaper overall, will become a no-brainer. Maybe Crowe will be more expensive but useful?

 

edit: I also think that the Inquisition won't be in. Which means that GW will finally twist my arm into buying a digital codex (and something to read it on). I genuinely hate those....

 

ps: I know that hard copies are "available"... But I like to have a legit copy of evey codex I use.

At that price, Termies will become a no-brainer. Also, NDK with teleporter, if it's cheaper overall, will become a no-brainer. Maybe Crowe will be more expensive but useful?

 

 

I'm happy. It'll encourage me to start taking Terminators again. Dreadknight is already an auto-include. Crowe can only improve, hopefully they have him IC status.

This isn't 2004 anymore man ;)

I know, but tablets of all kind are killing human interaction. You'll be playing and those will make all types of chirping sounds, enticing you opponent into checking that email/facebook/tweet/whatever. Of course, he'll interrupt the game every so often to show you the latest BoLS rumor of funny video of goats singing the Games of Throne theme song.

Print it off? No one in my gaming group uses tablets regularly, only on the rare ocassions no one has a physical copy (usually for supplements or Inquisition). 

If weapons are the same price for termies and PAGK but termies get a price drop then it will be more economical to buy the upgrades for the terminators as they not only get to use their CCW (note i didn't say NFW ohmy.png ) but they also get 2 attacks base (unless our new strikes get 2A too) and they also get relentless to best use the ranged weapons with the CCW. If this is true I would imagine that terminators become the auto-include troops choice as strikes also lost warp quake while terms had no psychic power to lose in the first place. Paying 15 points for a psycannon would be better on a terminator than strike, even if the terminator costs 13 points more to make full use of the 2 extra shots (or whatever the psycannon becomes) and then full use of their CCW.

How is that killing human interaction, if anything it's increasing it. A friend of mine got an ASBO for having a party, for those not from the UK, an ASBO is an anti-social behavior order. Apparently having a party is not socially acceptable. tongue.png

I really hope we don't lose Psyammo. That would be 3 sets of Autocannon arms down the drain I just paid for. >.>

 

New Terminator prices are interesting though, maybe we could see a rise in their usage?

 

I don't know how to feel about Psychic Pilot however. I don't think they'll remove it personally but I could be wrong. If they do, it'll suck because it's just free WC. :d

Take with some salt, but interesting none-the-less

I really can't see it happening either. It's bizarre to me that there's so much of this idea that Grey Knights will just be stripped down without anything to take it's place: loss of Inquisition units, loss of Psy Ammo, loss of Psychic Pilot (what?) The loss of Inquisition units seems fairly well confirmed to me, but my point in including it in that list is to point out just how much people are talking about being stripped away from the codex for little reason and with nothing to take its place.

Hi guys a full round up of the rumers is located on the bell of lost souls pages

Note ing that crow is not an IC but according to the post he can take an old school retinue squad as a body guard which sounds cool

Hey now, it's more than just a free WC as it won me a game before when I avoided being tabled by passing a 6++ on a rhino and achieved a VP victory cool.png
