JJD Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I bought WD this morning and noticed the sgt on the DA intercessor box was leaning on his sword. I am surprised at the savings. I agree Hellblasters seem the best for DA thanks to re-rolling ones if they don’t move but we will have to wait and see what the codex offers other units.

Helycon Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Even without the trait, Hellblasters seemed to be pretty decent for their point cost. Besides, plasma. 'nuff said :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Yeah, I'm sold on DA. They're good for Primaris, Termies and Bikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanista Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well mum has been in labour since 6.30 this morning, so about 11 hours so far. Fingers crossed we'll see him this evening. I doubt I'll be painting tonight, lol Othniel's Blade 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robofish7591 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Based on early reviews of the BA Codex, they now have everything Ultramarines have except Thunderfire cannons and Centurions (both flavors). I can still see us not getting access to vanguard, sternguard, and a few other things that simply do not fit the Dark Angels lore. However, it seems centurions and Thunderfire are the "codex Marines" specific units. Do you know if they got access to the iron clad dreadnought? If Blood Angels got it, then hopefully we will too. I think they would look pretty good in dark green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffJedi Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Plasma Pistols locked in close combat rerolling ones... Syphid, Volt, General Strike and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Strike Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 That's what I was thinking, I was trying to decide between BA and DA, and realized that anything locked in combat will get the rerolls. Not going to happen all the time, but will be cool when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is unfortunate as I would love to add Ironclads. Here is to hoping we get everything else, though. Define "everything else". I don't think it would be wise to anticipate getting anything beyond what we know was added - hoping for anything else is just bound to disappoint when the unit you were really hoping for isn't in the Codex.

Elios Harg Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 I think we will gain access to cataphractii (including the captain), tartaros, lieutenants, contemptors, scout bikes, hunters, stalkers, land speeder storm, Stormhawk, and stormraven. Sternguard and vanguard are highly unlikely. Storm Talon is iffy since we have similar aircraft already. However, I would not be surprised to see it added since we are getting the Stormhawk and they are the same kit. Essentially, it seems that they are reserving Thunderfires, Centurions (it makes sense considering the name), and Ironclad for Ultramarines (codex chapters). Those are their equivalents to Ravenwing Knights, Deathwing Knights, Land speeder Vengeance, and Dark Shrouds. Bryan Blaire 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 (edited) I’ve been so excited thinking about what we might get I forgot about the really cool things we might lose. Does anyone know if BA lost their bike and jump pack options from their HQs. I’m hoping if BA kept the jump pack options for Librarians and Sanginory priests then DA might keep the bike options for Librarians and Chaplains. I guess there is always the index but it sucks they won’t be updated. My bike HQs are probably my favorite two models in my army.

I guess there is always the index but it sucks they won’t be updated. My bike HQs are probably my favorite two models in my army. We never 'lost' the options. There are no models, so they won't be in the codex. You can still use them from the Index just fine. Also, I'm pretty sure the Stormhawk was already included in the small preview we got in a screenshot from White Dwarf, so we get that, even if we have our Nephilim. Chances are, it won't get the Ravenwing keyword, but be a Greenwing support flyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Checking out warhammer community it looks there's a stratagem that only works if you have a Space Wolves detachment in your army...not sure what I think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elios Harg Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Also, the new termie suits are confirmed to be deathwing. Hopefully they can benefit from the rules specific to them The article specifies Deathwing can use... so they should have any special rules that apply to Deathwing (such as auto-pass morale). However, stratagems may specify "Deathwing Terminator squad" or "Deathwing Cataphractii squad" which would prevent access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
