Unknown Legionnaire Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 So, both Mor Deythan as well as Headhunters were given the Implacable Advance rule in the latest FAQ. Both units DON'T have the rules entry in their new unit entries in the new LA : ADL book. Did FW forgot to include their own FAQ ? This just seems really really sloppy to me and kinda raises the feeling that this new incarnation of the book is just a money grab and nothing more. Don't get me wrong, I bought all the HH series books thus far (and own most Imperial Armour books as well), but this is seriously underwhelming. Any other bugs or incoherencies people noted in the LA : ADL book ?

Slips Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 We already went over this during the weekender and the following weeks afterwards. Assume: Book Was Printed/At the printers before FAQ Release, can't change much at that point without it costing thousands or causing delays / refusal from printer. FAQ adds onto ADL Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320968-new-age-of-darkness-legions-book-and-faq/#findComment-4350857 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknown Legionnaire Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 That is what I was assuming to be honest. Yet it really heightens the impression not much thought went into that latest book. And it is kinda disappointing to recognize that new book you just got in your mail is already partially outdated.

Slips Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well thats going to be a consistent problem when faced with Physical and Digital media while working around Contractor Availabilities and Deadlines. Too many variables floating around that they don't have all that much control over. For all we know, ADL was supposed to be out before the FAQ but got pushed back due to the Printers availability/shipping delays/printing delays/etc. The FAQ was scheduled to be out by a certain date. Waiting any longer would mean that the work load on it would invariably increase as more and more questions were answered. So they released it then and there so that they would have a clean slate to work on the next iteration. +++ However, unless FW go ahead and tell us, we'll never know and at best we can guess.

Iron Dude Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Well just tell fw to set a new date on the FAQ and were fine :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/320968-new-age-of-darkness-legions-book-and-faq/#findComment-4351177 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeychunks Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 There are a couple of other inconsistencies as well. - Terror Squads no longer have Precision Shot (Arguably a rebalance since they kept Strike?) - Alpha Legion Saboteurs no longer Precision Shot - Tyrant Terminators are Heavy Support on page 20, but still Elites on page 19. It's also hard to call it a typo but it's very grating to see the old Appendix numbers now that they've been reorganised. Opening the book to Appendix 3 (Emperor's Children) and then onto Appendix 9 (Iron Warriors) is extremely irrritating. I appreciate that it's the order they were originally published, but they've all been edited now anyway. EDIT: I'm also somewhat miffed that they chose not to reword the World Eaters Chainaxe rule, as anybody who's ever visited /tg/ can attest it's controversial at best. My final extremely pedantic point is that they haven't added the Iron Circle to the clause about IW-exclusive units on p19. EDIT2: And where are the new Rites of War?! We don't have the Long March, Ironfire, the 3rd Company...

If you already have the red book then don't buy the update.

Unknown Legionnaire Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 Don't get me wrong, I f***ing hate piracy and, like I said, own most of Forge Worlds books (HH and beyond), but sure as hell I'm gonna be waiting before I'm going to order the upcoming combined Solar Auxilia and Warp Cults army list book once it goes on preorder, until I've seen some pictures. They'll probably forget to include the cost for the rogue psykers once again. Seriously FW ?
