Blindhamster Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I really like these rumours, all of them, completely. Pros: Dante (my favourite HQ forever) sounds like the bamf he should be. Mephiston sounds cool, I have no problem at all with him getting a little less uber stat wise and regaining IC, i've said for a while that I hoped for exactly that. Furious Charge is cool, i'd hoped for something else to show red thirst, but i still like! Tacticals with lots of options - GREAT, I own 6 tactical squads (as I have an entire company) Psychic powers sound Great (If Dante is as described and hasnt had his stats decreased... he'd potentially be getting 9 attacks at Strength 7 AP2 WS 6 with a reroll... at Init 9! thanks to his buddy, mr 65 point libby) Detachment makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. warlord traits sound good too Cons: shame we lose fast all over the place, but not the end of the world, plus I own lots of baals and rhinos (and 1 normal predator and 1 vindicator) So its not a terrible negative was hoping to get at least one or two of the marine units, specifically the AA tanks... if Vanguard don't even have the new heroic intervention I'll be a sad panda. Sanguinary priests being HQ will be a bit sad as I own 6... not remotely bothered about the Assault squads, as I only have 2 10 man squads anyway (again... proper battle company) most of the force org movements arent a big deal to me, I havent used DC since 4th ed... Baals contending with Ravens is a little sad Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299805-the-new-what-will-2014-bring-thread/page/51/#findComment-3883594 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Tycho now does not ingore armour saves. His comb¡ weapon cannot use special ammo anymore. 1 Heavy Flamer for tactical squads, 2 for veterans and no Heavy Flamers in Devastators Banner allows to reroll failed moral and pinning tests. 12" bubble Honor Guard is gone from the codex. He can buy a bike, but not a Terminator armour. Ow! A little unnecessary change there on the termy armour? Quite odd? Wonder if he can get artificer?

Honor Guard is gone? But, but. That's actually the rumor that hurts the worst for me. Jump Infantry Honor Guard were one of the things that drew me to the BA way back when. I know they were made redundant by Sanguinary Guard with their invention and inclusion in the 5e dex, but I hate to see them go.

Remtek Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Really happy with the new changes if the rumors are true. Kinda hard to see where Meph will fit in, but HQ slot will have a nice wide range now and finally 65 point Libbys!

Ushtarador Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 That makes corbs pretty awesome Now he only needs a jump pack! Honor guard being gone sounds weird.. The banner is very lackluster (as expected), especially with a warlord trait that gives fearless anyway.. very intrigued with the relics though, they sound amazing, cheap but quite useful!

Aqui Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Valerian - link doesn't work (I don't have permission to see the content). However, blue successors will still happening I'm by far no expert on the rules etc mentioned in this topic, but as ever, my eventual armies will be focused two things: Fluff Fun. If this new codex allows me those two things, I'll be very happy. Morticon - I'm loving the camaraderie here too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299805-the-new-what-will-2014-bring-thread/page/51/#findComment-3883616 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrunTeufel Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Then why are they giving us a terminator standard bearer? That doesn't make any sense. Bah I am not complaining too much. There are people in this forum with whole honor guards. One model is nothing compared to that.

Morticon Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Im out till the morning guys! Late here. Enjoy the rumours! I think for a lot of the veterans this is going to be one helluva nostalgic release - i hope the 5th ed dexers get as much mileage out of it! The next couple of weeks is going to be incredibly excited with what will be a complete revamp in the playstyle of the BA and a bucket load more options available to us thanks to what looks like good internal balance! Keen to see it all happen. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/299805-the-new-what-will-2014-bring-thread/page/51/#findComment-3883631 Share on other sites More sharing options...
