Armchairarbiter Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 So I was doing some theory crafting... I know, I should wait for full release, but screw it. Assuming we have the same psychic powers along with the new stuff mentioned. If we have a rune priest on a bike, escorting 3 Rhinos full of bloodclaws. First power is the bubble +1 to armor save, gives it 2+ armor save. Drop the storm strat for a -1 to hit, rhinos pop smoke (after advancing) and get another -1 to hit. So that's +2 armor save, and -2 to hit on Rhinos full of bloodclaws. Or am I getting something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Librarian types where buffed to know two powers of the discipline. So if your opponent brings a specially dangerous model (Castellan, Crusader, Fire Prism) you can add Tempest's Wrath for that model ao it has a -3.

Or am I getting something wrong? looks legit to me tbat may not be the speed people are asking for but it is getting close to reliable delivery you can do something similar with a stormwolf but fire all the guns and still have -2 to hit or my leviathan and dread formation can benefit and get a -1 to hit (-2 for smoking shield dreads) with 1+ /2+ armor save muwhaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteySödes Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Shoot I think the WHTV army building segment may have gotten canceled. Battle vs. tyranids still is showing on the schedule though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the biggest tinfoil hat on right now that they'll drop a huge bomb at WHfest tomorrow a la recent E3 stuff. "Leman Russ is coming, he's in the Codex that drops next week with a model to follow!" Honestly its weighting my head down and is very uncomfortable.

TiguriusX Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Wolf's eye stratagem Doesn't say you have to announce what you are rerolling Does that mean you can roll your hits and if all is good you use it on the wounds...but if you roll all 2s you can elect to use the to hit option instead? Is this a flexible stratagem or probably not as intended? (Will definitely email the team for the FAQ update) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh Russ you are the greatest of Primarchs with all of your blessings! For Primaris I am thinking the Hellblasters (getting easy rerollable plasma shots) or Aggressors (Power Fist attacks rerrolable everything on the charge) would be the best options.

Don't the tin foil hats leave a metallic taste on your brains? It's super unlikely we get something else released with our codex. A lot of reviewers have codexes on hand. They would have to extend their NDA's to leave out whatever new undisclosed units we get on their codex reviews. That's a big ask. If anything new is being released with the codex we will know about it today before any announcements tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.Redbeard Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I am content with what we have. The WH Fest things might be things for Orks, AoS etc. But we have a strong and fluffy Codex. And I am very happy so far. I made a list of the likely copy paste stratagems and the already revealed ones. I come at about 17 (maybe we get Tactical Flexibility) so we have other 10 things to look fowards too. Armour of Contempt Auspex Scan Cluster Mines Datalink Telemetry Empyric Channeling Flakk Missiles Hellfire Shells Honour the Chapter Killshot Linebreaker Bombardment Only in Death Does Duty End Wisdom of the Ancients Cunning of the Wolf True Grit Lone Wolf Cloaked by Storm The Wolf's Eye Stream questions are starting BTW. Questions are being asked but no specific Codex questions. Edit: Forgot the Extra relics one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
