JeffJedi Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 A large number of the Imperial Agents units are from the Astra Militarium line originally but they make more sense as allies since the are not actually Imperial Guard. The three types of Psykers, Master of the Fleet and Tech-Priests to name a few. Is it possible that they may be removed from the codex and could the space be used for new unit types?

WarriorFish Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 No, I don't think so. The codex is basically a throwback to the old Witch Hunters days - the other bits are just there as some padding and filler. The fleet assets and Techpriests won't be going anywhere and thanks to GW's meddling I don't think the PBS Wyrdvanes get much use anyway... :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoGuy Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 From what the article on BOLS tells us, the Wyrdvane Psykers can be lead by an Astropath who will be the cheapest ML2 Psyker in the game. That's actually very good news for any imperial army that has no or little defence against psychic heavy armies. The Codex: Imperial Agents will make it easy for the Ad Mech to ally in a Culexus Assassin and a few Psykers/Astropaths - and suddenly we don't have to roll over once the Psychic Phase comes around. That's good news in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Astro path is ML2 in imperial agents?? In the AM codex they are ML1 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 You can upgrade him to ML2, but I'm not sure what the big deal is unless you're after him as a battery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there no other ML2 Psykers in the game that are 50pts or under? An Astropath is always a good way of getting Psychic Shriek into a list.

MoGuy Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Inquisitorial Psykers from the digital codex are also normal Psykers. In a previous version they too were just cheap ways to get Psychic Shriek into the list. I could imagine we will see the same with the Astropath. That he becomes a regular ML2 Psyker.

duz_ Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Im actually more disappointed that it appears to be stealing what little flavour guard had. I hope we see these guys again in our next iteration. Hopefully with slightly more beefed rules or at least LD8. More concerned about the lack of Vendetta in the book. It would have been a good opportunity for GW to give us an upgrade sprue like the storm talon / interceptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Imperial agents is made for giving Imerials (all not only IG) some small but effective (?) allies. Not all entries from original dexes are available and this dex does not overvrite the others. Ie: GK from IA cannot have Draigo, only small and secondary forces.
