Ceril Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Hello fellow brothers, some of you might know that GW recently launched a new Facebook page. GW also said at a trade show in Las Vegas they want to be more engaing with the player base and tournament scene. (paraphrasing) Today a post went up on their facebook page to ask for questions from us players, collectors, hobbyists and fans for a FAQ. Here's the Natfka post about it:http://natfka.blogspot.fi/2016/03/breaking-news-official-warhammer-40000.htmlDirect link to submit questions through facebook: https://www.facebook.com/1575682476085719/photos/a.1576243776029589.1073741828.1575682476085719/1583759348611365/?type=3&theater And their new warhammer 40k page:https://www.facebook.com/Warhammer-40000-1575682476085719/?fref=photo Now is the time to let them now, tell them we care. Show Games Workshop our enthusiasm. Our love for this chapter. I'd love to see Blood Angels counted among the strong books. We surely need some updates, and this is a big chance for change.

Blindhamster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Trouble is, most of the issues we have dot belong in the FAQ section, it's more a case of us needing an errata? How about we collate questions we want to ask about the blood angels here so we cover all bases?

Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Depending on the questions, it might spur an errata? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342159 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah that was what I was thinking. But struggling to formulate sensible questions... Thoughts?

Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 "Will Blood Angels get updated Dreadnougnt Stats to bring them in line with Codex Space Marines?" "Is the WS BS 3 on scouts a typo? codex Space Marines is a 4" :p Though honestly, I think scouts should be WS BS 3 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhamster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I went with... Will units that exist in codex blood angels with the same name that used to be inline with codex space marines be brought in line again? E.g. number of attacks on dreadnoughts, weapon skill and ballistic skill on scouts, squadron rules on vehicles. Access to a strike force alla all other marine books etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342179 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav1892 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Why no access to grav cannons for Devs and why no access to storm talons or centurions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342194 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 We don't really need centurions, they are complete opposite, being slow and whatnot. Also, we have heavy flamers that no one else can get on tacticals, so lacking the grav canons is cool. I'm more wanting the land speeder storms.

Xenith Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Though honestly, I think scouts should be WS BS 3 Veteran Guardsmen (those that survive the first 15 mins of a campaign) are BS4 :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Though honestly, I think scouts should be WS BS 3 Veteran Guardsmen (those that survive the first 15 mins of a campaign) are BS4 :) That is true. Also, scouts at BS 4 leaves more fluff room for DiY chapters to say their scouts don't have to be the new guys.

Xenith Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I think the scouts really need the BS4. The whole Marine 'schtick' is being slightly better than average at everything, and excelling at nothing - BS3 just makes the scouts really unreliable, especially the rifle version.

Arkangilos Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, that's true. I was comparing across marine codices instead of the whole thing. My reasoning was more about making them the "new guys", and the Space Wolves being the ones at BS4 because they aren't the new guys, but I wasn't thinking about how skilled they would be regardless just due to training before actual war deployments. So yeah, nvm then. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320643-gwwh40k-facebook-page-faq-request/#findComment-4342269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Eisenhorn Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 I've seen a few comments on the page regarding Blood Angels so far; probably slightly more than the average question. I haven't seen anyone ask about the cost of Terminators though.

Jolemai Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Folks, the post on the FB page requests you to make one rules question you want answered or clarified. Therefore, to ensure your post is actually read and not skimmed over, can I suggest you pose a rules question please? Questions such as "Y ay we got Stalkers?", etc, isn't going to fly.

Blindhamster Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 think theres any chance of them responding to ones about the disparity in stats on things with the same name?

Charlo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 think theres any chance of them responding to ones about the disparity in stats on things with the same name? If there is enough of a request for it, sure - UNLESS it directly reveals a big part of upcoming releases perhaps....

appiah4 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My question would probably be "Why do you not even pretend to care about Blood Angels?"

Quixus Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Not specific to Blood Angels,: "How do all the quasi-deep strike abilities (Gate of Infinity, Skies of Fury etc.) even work? Do the units need the deep strike rule? do they have to start the game in deep strike reserves? Do they count as having that rule and having started there? Can they mishap? What happens on a mishap?" I can't post it myself, because I do not have facebook account and do not intend to get one, so if that question interests you, go ahead and copy it.

All within the last 2 years: A 7th edition codex Shield of Baal Deathstorm Exterminatus background supplement 1st company rules Flesh tearers rules FW upgrades released FW Blood Angel Legion Rules released tactical squad Sanguinary Priest Termies Jump pack chaplain TDA librarian 3-6 White Dwarf only BA formations.

Get some perspective. Here's some perspective for you: A 7th edition codex: More like 6.5 Edition with no decurion Shield of Baal Deathstorm: With Disco Dancer Terminator Captain and no new models, :cussty datasheets and useless formation Exterminatus background supplement: Which has, what exactly, that is actually useful and usable? 1st company rules: Which basically handicap you into points sinks Flesh tearers rules: This is actually useful, I'll give you that FW upgrades released: This is FW, not GW FW Blood Angel Legion Rules released: This is FW, not GW tactical squad: Complete Death Company rehash Sanguinary Priest: 20 GBP clampack, talk about rough loving Termies: New models no one asked for a unit that's significantly overcosted compared to C:SM - more like rubbing our face in the dirt than showing love Jump pack chaplain: 20 GBP clampack that's actually worse than the generic jumppack chaplain TDA librarian: Touche. 3-6 White Dwarf only BA formations: White Dwarf only being the key point here. In the meantime we got no errata, no codex update, no decurion, no useful formations. Playing a BA army feels like cherry picking BA units to go along with other armies, and even then finding out that you are handicapping yourself for doing so. I feel no love. Sorry.

Jolemai Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 All the same, this isn't the time nor the place for such. GW have asked for a single rules question from each of us, and this thread is for keeping track so people don't ask the same ones.
