spjaco Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well, this Grey Hunter is on his way back into the fray. Just picked up the new Codex, at $53 I have to admit my wallet was whining a bit but I have to admit I like what I took home. Now all I have to do is figure out how to justify this to the wifey..... I would sooner armwrestle Bjorn the Fellhanded AND Russ simultaniously......

spjaco Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Nope, she didn't take it well at all. Here comes the guilt trip and the line "Could've spent it on the kids." Gonna try to return it once I get off from work. Hope that goes well.

Knight of the Raven Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 One of these days I'd like the husband to guilt trip his wife instead of the other way round. Just for variety. Anyway, you accomplished the impossible, Commander_Moustache. You made me like Space Wolves again with your review, and even want to play them. Granted, the Thirteenth Great Company, but still. I guess some optimism instead of a gnashing of teeth goes a long way. the leadership of a French stereotype Oh god yes. Thanks for specifying it's a stereotype by the way.

Cpt. Lacerus Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Heyo! Just a quick rules type question but, for Black Death you said it only grants +3 attacks when outnumbered. So, if you get challenged that goes away I take it? Even if it's say, your squad of 5 charging a squad of 10?

Dantay VI Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Ha, don't worry I have the guilt trip all lined up for the wifey!! She just booked herself a 2 week vacation & I will be staying home... I wonder how many Wolves that is worth?? It will be win-win. Me at home, working on my Wolves getting some games in, while she sees family. And the new models I can smuggle past her! And if I get caught.. But honey, you went on vacation leaving me all alone blah blah blah.... Mwah hahaha!!! Oh, back on topic! Brilliant review. This was a great help in figuring out how to configure my Wolves and which HQ's I should go back to using. You did a great job. The Aett owes you a debt.. Or atleast a barrel of mjod!

tjdudey Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Nice to see others have the 'Wife Approval' issue...I tend to wait until I have enough money to buy my models and give her the same amount of money for herself...that way she can never be mad...Plus, if I give her a lump sum, then order models over a few weeks, she can't keep track of the value HAHA...sneaky sneaky is the way...

spjaco Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Are any of your little ones boys? Not a single one. Three girls. The "Infantryman's Curse" as they call it, cuz we seem to always have girls for some strange reason. Ha, don't worry I have the guilt trip all lined up for the wifey!!

Dantay VI Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Next time yes I will go with her to visit family, but this time is my time!! My wife thinks of this is a waste of time and money, but she concedes atleast I am not out drinking etc! I blew a ton of money at the start of the year inadvertently winning a couple of FW Landraiders and cataphracts on ebay and dakkdakka, so an embargo ensured. The Fire Raptor was the last straw :D What she doesn't know is that I have a super secret space wolves slush fund! Am I the only man whose wife lets him have a monthly allowance to buy their models? I also have the "You spent HOW MUCH, on that tub of moisturiser??" card to play too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/294972-new-codex-review/page/2/#findComment-3778371 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konnavaer Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Luckily enough my wife is very supportive of the hobby and has had the occasional game with me lately with a dark eldar force I have been putting together and painting for her, it all started when I painted a female archon mini as her for her birthday which picqued her interest, and we've managed a few small games since so hopefully it will continue. She picked dark eldar as her force before I had painted the mini though I should add, something about all the trophy racks, spikes and torture, maybe I should be concerned... at least if I stop posting on the boards you will know what's happened !

Dantay VI Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 You lucky lucky Wolf Konn!!

helterskelter Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 A question I need to get my head around. Hunters are cheaper, but also pay for ccw? So really in terms of codex switching, not paying a fat lot for that weapon? Granted it was free before, but is it really such a tax for the flexibility?

Ullr Direfang Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Kind of a review about the codex from me. Haven't done a full cover to cover read through, but the one thing that gets me about the codex is how the army selection pages are their own page. I am not sure if this is the "new thing" GW is doing with codeics, but I think it is kind of crappy. I kind of like that the fluff is near their entry, but flipping back and forth is really annoying to me. Just my in put.

Nope, you get the attacks as long as there are more enemy than friendly models at the start of the Fight Sub-phase. By Russ, what a beautiful weapon. Do you still get +1 attack for charging or counter-attack and another +1 for two close combat weapons? That would bring a WL to 9 AP2 attacks on the charge...mhnmm. Just not sure if the weapons rule of the +3 attacks replaces all other modifiers. Pretty sure I've seen that before.

I also have the "You spent HOW MUCH, on that tub of moisturiser??" card to play too My wife gives me an allowance, period. It is a result of my two deployments where she ran the household while I was gone. She took over the finances and I never bothered to get them back. One less headache for me. At least until I get out of the Army, then we shale see. Retiring in t-minus five years!
