Jolemai Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Btw folks, from the rumours so far, it looks like there's nothing to do with the Blood Angels in WD48. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexC Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm sure they know, but just play dumb at times. They do have to sell a product, ya know. I think originally they genuinely didn't. I get the impression that GW internally is/was largely composed of guys who are hobbyists and don't get/much care for competitive play. Eventually they realised that actually there are a lot of people out there now that really care about winning, and that they can use that. It's a bit schizophrenic, but it makes sense. Look at the front page of this forum. Most of the topics are about what has the strongest rules, GW are only reacting to that. But back in the day, you could not wait for each one to see what they were throwing out there. Making terrain from scratch, lots of cool things, not just a platform to push the latest and greatest GW minis. This. I used to love WD when it was a magazine that covered the hobby, but it hasn't been that for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Btw folks, from the rumours so far, it looks like there's nothing to do with the Blood Angels in WD48. Just the 2nd half of Cities of Death if you want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they actively and vocally dont give a :cuss about competitive players at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karhedron Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Btw folks, from the rumours so far, it looks like there's nothing to do with the Blood Angels in WD48. Pity, that was my last hope for some formation or detachment that would allow me to field extra Sanguinary Guard units. Pretty much every other entry in the Elite section has some sort of D/F that allows them to be fielded in multiples or buffed (several in the case of Vanguard). But the boys in gold get no love. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karhedron Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I have 5 units. :( I could roll them up into larger units, it just seems a shame that they are the only Elite unit without some sort of option in this area. Dreads and Veterans of most flavours are covered by the Archangels detachment and Death Company by the Mortalis formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously not happening now. But my 10 SG will hit the table often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girot Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'd do a compilation, but my phones network connection makes that impractical. Try this link instead http://bloodofkittens.com/formation-compendium/ Edit: I thought I was replying to a request for the source of different formations. I was looking for exactly this just the other day. You are my fracking hero, Brother. You have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WD 47 has the start of the Cities of Death rules including the first 18 cards for a COD objective deck. WD 48 has the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deschenus Maximus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Hey! Am I missing a piece of rule somewhere or is there no mention of an Archangel or Flesh Tearer detachment not being able to use the Relics from the core book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kol Saresk Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Since everything in the formation still has access to all of the upgrades they'd normally have access too and the formations that have alternate relic lists are specifically stated as having alternate relic lists, it is more than reasonable that unless stated otherwise, they do have access to the relic list from the core rule book.

Deschenus Maximus Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 That is excellent because the new Relics are kind meh overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneMarshal Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 So I'm wondering what formation will you guys be running? The three stormraveen one is two expensive for my tastes and the game is decided pretty much with a dice roll at the begining. The sternguard one looks fun but they have to start in the raven. Can the seargent take a located beacon because it would be fun to have some no scatter deep tricking behind an important object. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsijben Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Probably the Detachement and nothing else. I don't like Formations that make up the entire army, especially if they leave out my favourite units! A captain and 2x terminator assaults seem nice.

Bryan Blaire Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Erm. Archangels. 1HQ, 2-16 elites? I thought the Archangels units were only chosen from VV, SV, and both flavors of Terminator squad. Is that not true? Can you do 16 units of SG with that formation? (I haven't picked up Exterminatus yet because I want it in soft-cover) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
