Lord_Starscream Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Dark gods forgive me- bought the Tau codex on my lunch break. Tau have been an army that I've enjoyed through thick and thin. Definitely a beautiful army too for miniature design. I've recently turned to building and painting Necrons myself. There is a big range of fun outside of Chaos. Even if I wanted to get back into them, I feel how they've arranged weaponry in the squads with their new policy of locking things based on what's immediately in the box, has just invalidated how I want the squads to work to such a point that I'd not want back in anyway.

Iron Father Ferrum Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Keep in mind that's rumor based on an alleged playtest copy of the codex. Don't go sour yet.

Prophet of the Despoiler Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Any news on a drop date? While it’s fun winning games by the skin of my teeth I’d really like the table someone turn 3.

Prophet of the Despoiler Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I’m also curious how arcane weapons will work with relics? Things like the murder sword would be a bit silly if the model was armed with an axe or a maul.

Silas7 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I’m also curious how arcane weapons will work with relics? Things like the murder sword would be a bit silly if the model was armed with an axe or a maul. You say that like the very name of the item isn't silly to begin with. As for the others maybe a little dose of counts as would be healthy every once in a while.

Things like the murder sword would be a bit silly if the model was armed with an axe or a maul. From what the rumours have said, the only units that have Accursed Weapons are Chosen and Terminators, so the Relics should be the same as normal, as none of the characters (that we'e seen) can take Accursed weapons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/371366-what-to-expect-from-9e-csm/page/52/#findComment-5804681 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Based on current rumors, I think the only viable recipient for the murder sword is… I’m not sure, actually. We don’t have any characters with power swords in their kit, now that I think of it. If it’s modified to include the daemon prince’s sword, there’s an option, as other than them and Abaddon/Lucius the HQs don’t have swords at all, and the latter 2 can’t take relics. Exalted champion and terminator lord could replace their power axe with the axe of blind fury. Maybe warpsmith, master of executions, and daemon Prince, if their weapons are included too. I just dunno about these rumors… Every faction stands on their own, but compared to loyalists these options don’t make a ton of sense unless truly, hard line, no model (of any unit or wargear) = no rules. And unless there’s some very creative rules writing to make up for all the lost options, it’s hard to know what to make of things. Clockworkchris, any chance we could get more details on the relics?

Special Officer Doofy Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 These codex rumors have me so confused haha! I heard the red terror is out for tyranids (no longer in the codex) and rumor has it chaos marines are losing mutilators (worst models in the game currently, my opinion of course) and jump pack characters. You guys think they are just getting rid of non plastic models slowly and not replacing all of them?

Also, artwork doesn't guarantee a model. Otherwise we've been waiting ages for the new Terminator Lord with a two-handed power maul.

Either way its seems good. If you can combo it with -1 to wound from the mark then nurgle units are going to be tough to shift. -1 to wound with transhuman is especially obnoxious. 1-3 to fail and 4s become 5s so str 5 and under is wounding on 5s or 6s... str 6 through 9 is wounding on 5s.

Lagrath Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Transhuman is a strat for nurgle and its 4+. I'm really hoping it's 1/2 CP depending on unit size, like some newer codexes, rather than 2/3 CP.
