Charlo Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Yeah exactly. The Eversor might otherwise be the most generally useful as a deep-striking guy with a 3D6 charge and lots of attacks can work well in the current meta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skerr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Is there a release date for this WD? Been looking for an excuse to get some Assassins. What are the chances we get updated models for a possible kill team expansion? Wonder if I should wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyD4rkPassenger Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Is there a release date for this WD. Been looking for an excuse to get some Assassins. What are the chances we get updated models for a possible kill team expansion? Wonder if I should wait. My GW manager said should be next Friday since it's March 1st. I wouldn't expect new models for them though since they were updated in the Execution Force box set not too long ago. I would love missions for KT similar to the solo operative scenarios from Shadow War, I had a lot of fun with the Vindicare one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishagu Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 There is 0% chance of GW updating the Assasin models any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFinisher4Ever Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Is there a release date for this WD. Been looking for an excuse to get some Assassins. What are the chances we get updated models for a possible kill team expansion? Wonder if I should wait. There is a veeery low chance of us getting new assassin models considering that the current plastic assassin's are still fairly new. The box set they were originally released in came out in 2015.

Skerr Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thanks all! Good to know, was not sure how old the current sculpts are though I really like 3 of the 4. Not sure about the Culexus head but as mentioned I can covert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gstealer Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I picked up this issue at local Barnes and Noble 2 nites ago. Nothing really new. No new figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinespider Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 The assassins models are pretty recent - I don't think anyone was expecting new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I was thinking about Vindicare: his suit gives -1 to hit to foes, -2 if he is in cover, right? But when using the city fight rules, if he is obscured it gives an additional -1, going to -3 if obscured in cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phubar Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Same with spymask, if he moves and the target is obscured, it will have a -1 to hit the foe? No cover bonus for him but no obscured bonus too or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sairence Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Same with spymask, if he moves and the target is obscured, it will have a -1 to hit the foe? No cover bonus for him but no obscured bonus too or not? -2 actually, as his rifle is Heavy. He negates that if he stands still though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Shepherd Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Eversor's bio meltdown being extended from 1' to 6' is spicey And it only effects enemy units, not all as it maybe should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaoself Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I just got the white Dwarf. What realy made me happy is the hommage to the old inquisitor books in the article about the calidus assassin. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majkhel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Got a 1500 casual game against Tau, using the a Vindicare assassin and got the back end of his performance straight in the face. He didn't manage to kill anything, I lost 2CP trying (without effect) to re-roll his hit rolls as 1's favoured me. He did scared off a riptide whom I attempted to hit it with Blind Grenades (I rolled 1 for number of grenades and 1 for hit...).BUT his presence did make my opponents warlord (Cadre Fireblade) skulk behind cover for the whole game and be generally useless until my scout bikers rode him off the board. Additionally he tanked a round of shooting from a Stealth suit team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Finally got my copy and gave the assassins a read, looking forward to trying them out. I'm not expecting great things but I reckon with some good targets and stratagem use they have potential. As Majkhel demonstrates it's not all about killing models (though that's still great); if your assassin can influence the game enough in your favour for a win that's all you need :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteridder Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Are the rules also coming on pdf, or is the only way to play them with the White Dwarf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Previously such things have been done after the WD, but I'm not sure if that means it'll still be the case here. I don't think there's enough content to warrant anything else however so I'd expect a PDF of the rules, the question may be how long you need to wait.

Charlo Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Aye, the most I'd expect is a compilation book of WD rules in a year or two. Or they'll be rolled into the next Chapter Approved...! In reality it's only 6 articles a year, as it alternates between 40k & AoS, that's not to say they don't have other games taking up slots too.

Slasher956 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 CA2019 sounds like a good bet espically as 2018 had sisters 'beta' & a reprint of the Renegade Knights.... So we could get (basesless speculation here)... a reprint of Codex Assassins & a renegade & Heretics guard codex list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First the codexes should drop, be played and then feedback gathered into CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swordofmandulis Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Question, how's does headshot interact with things like FNP and or the ability to pass wounds taken off on to bodyguard models, example: I wound a necron character, do I then get to roll the headshot rolls and once that is finished he attempts to pass them off to his lychguard? Similar with fnp, once I roll the damage roll, do I go straight into the headshot or does FNP kick in first potentially stopping any damage being taken and denying headshot. My thoughts were that these abilities tend to activate when the model loses a wound, and headshot also does this, so as the player who's turn it is I would decide the order. Would like to hear others take on it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wassa Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Question, how's does headshot interact with things like FNP and or the ability to pass wounds taken off on to bodyguard models, Interesting. As written, you would do the 3+/4+/5+/6+ rolls, and then let the opponent do their FNP/Bodyguard rules. Psychic Maelstrom is a similar ability, although this specifically deals with this case, and it stops the whole process if one wound is negated. Headshot (currently) does not have that.
