G8Keeper Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I know patience is a virtue and all that, but this is just taking the biscuit rules reveals wise now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aura_enchanted Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 My theory is that we are getting dumped on in p4 and they don't want to experience the backlash upfront . Could you imagine if psychic 4 is just an awful rules release. How the community would react, how terrible sales would be. You might see someone finally flip a table in anger at GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvnisher Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Why not just give us a codex instead of pa4? Edited January 6, 2020 by Pvnisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzul Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) You guys think they somehow #$&+¥%©πed up the time tables or something? Perhaps they released Lazarus by christmas by mistake? Because it looks like another week two, or even three that we will only be getting not-PA4 stuff. :/ Edited January 7, 2020 by Berzul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berzul Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 That was one weak teaser.... Why do I always have the feeling like we are the chapter that GW likes the least? Is it just me?

Not hated, but not sure anyone cares about us either.

Is it just me? Or am I just particularly jaded at this point? As Aztek said there is still worse. Still between the outdated DA range, the lack of a start collecting box, the "Dark Angels are heretics" meme, the endless Unforgiven/Fallen emo circle jerk, the crappy rules, especially the rules "vs Fallen" that nobody plays, the "Lion is awake but not coming yet", ... between all of that it feels like we're some kind of masochists to have picked that army. BUT Forgeworld is going to release a lot of good stuff for us this year (all of their DA release are great IMO). PA4 may seize the opportunity to bring us on par with the rest of the meta (not at an Iron Hands power level hopefully). Though i probably won't play them there is some nice Primaris stuff coming (that would be great for Ravenwing). Ninth Edition is coming in 5 months and given SM's already got their codex BA/SW/DA shouldn't wait long to be updated. The Lion not waking up and Fallens eluding us won't be on a hold fluff-wise forever, at some point GW will move the plot and we will rejoice.

The Lion not waking up and Fallens eluding us won't be on a hold fluff-wise forever, at some point GW will move the plot and we will rejoice. Right, there is still worse, but it's not making it better, that the first is treated kind of shabby. I started in the 6th Edition with a Codex, that was all but great, but in retrospective the most well eloberated we had ever since. The 7th Edition-Codex was a copy-pasted patchwork with many incredibly awful illustrations in it, whose rules were never playtested (speaking of 2+ rerollable jinksave...). And I'm not even talking about the missing Supplement everyone was waiting for, while literally every other chapter got an extension in one or the other way. No words left for our current codex, which is just an embarressment for the rulewriters in Nottingham. I just hope, that they will do a more or less good job. A fluff-part in which you can feel some effort and well conceived rules for the Deathwing / Ravenwing. Not wishing for anything OP at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanlee Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 As dark Angel players we should be use to disappointment by now My biggest worry about psychic awakening is we are going to have poor rules which would not surprise me at all. I started playing dark Angels back in 2nd with the angels of death codex and in that time we have had one Dex on par with the marines Dex and that was last edition. I just don't trust gw to give anything other than codex marines and eldar good rules now.they clearly don't listen to there playtesters case in point the totally broken iron hands Dex I hope I'm wrong and psychic awakening is a good step in the right direction but going by gws track record when it comes to dark Angels I just don't belive it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Sheol Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Everybody moaning about how bad Is DA codex compared to Codex Marines I remind you that the Codex Marines book was often One of the weakest ones in astartes line The Codex marines started to be Better only in 6th edition but in 7th edition the DA one was one of the strongest codexes with that insane RW list Now DA codex is suffering like GK, DW and SW cause they are still not updated by the PA books We have to wait some weeks to have PA4 in our hands and then we can moan if the rules will be ugly I was often unhappy about our codexes but i want to wait PA4 and then start to complain or not P.S.: about the "no preview a about PA4 but they show Shadowsun for PA5! they have abandoned us!" drama They showed Just a single model like they did with Lazarus/Master for PA4 Don't worry we Will have some rules preview about PA4 in few weeks while there Will be a longer wait for PA5 leaks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that too What worries me is that GW will go again for the monobuild so we will not be able to mix the things like to give the PF to Lazarus to make a BP+PF MAster or the PS to the Bolt carabine one to create another loadout (or to mix the options from the vanilla captain with the DA MAster to create new loadouts) The only good thing is that we will able to use the new model with a plasma pistol from another kit to recreate the loadout from the limited edition Primaris Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Elijah Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) From reddit : Lazarus can exchange his sword for the powerfist option it isn't special just an option. His boltgun is a bolt carbine and has special issue ammunition like deathwatch do as well as being master crafted. But is otherwise unremarkable. Sword is power axe stats dealing d3 mortal wounds to psykers on a 6 to wound. Could see using him along my Aggressors against the Thousand Sons player in my club, we'll see.

If this is true I'm gonna be salty. His special sword is damage 1 like a power axe? Not even D3? And definitely not the dream of Damage 2? SODIUM CHLORIDE!

SnakeChisler Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Looks like you can magnet the sword power fist pretty easily, the power fist will be in demand anyways for other primaris Sgt models On another note why give him a special sword with 1 damage and S5 you'd have thought at least D2 like the special boltguns HQ's are equipped with? Maybe he has re-roll wounds against Psyker units that would help trigger the sword more often and negate the 1 damage. It's got to have more of a trick you would have thought.
