Codex: Imperial Agents + Coteaz Reveal + Chamber Militant Battleforces

[TheArtilleryman]

I have a Vindicare in my Imperial Guard army and am a bit sorry to see the cost go up, but is what it is. I’ll still include him cos I’ve always just thought he’s cool.

He might be taken at 110 in Agents armies with the buffs, but at 150 Imperium armies will likely just leave him at home. Realistically, he wasn't taken at 75 with fairly similar rules and he certainly wasn't buffed to be twice as deadly.

Twice as deadly, no. But considerably more deadly than he used to be, especially towards low-end buffing characters. The once-per-game +1 to Wound/auto-Critical Wounds (turning into Dev Wounds), means that with the rifle's strength buff you are looking at anything T7 or less getting wounded on 2+ and eating a minimum of 4 mortal wounds. So unless the character has a FNP, it will most likely die right off the bat. Now granted, a 4-5 W buffing character is considerably less points than a Vindicare, but the fact that the assassin is on the field means that the enemy has to plan around it. That right there can be a significant advantage by itself. 

 

I do think at 150 points you won't see many Vindicares in allied armies- for that price you can get an Armiger Helverin to pump out a lot of 3 damage shots or a Warglaive to threaten some vehicles. 125 points seems about fair for him, along with the Eversor, as trading units to spoil the enemy's plans and take out some smaller characters.

Don't see the problem.

That would be using fiction and a model to sell a Codex that chose to exclude said model, who is the protagonist of said fiction.

Except, unless missed it, they didn’t bother to mention they deleted him from the codex.

Good news guys!

This Codex is the penultimate codex for 2024!

It's you guys, then BA and then nothing else at all until 2025 with Guard!

Kill Team is for sure giving us Vespid and jump scions, but if there are no 40k releases, maybe we're lucky and we get two other KT vs. boxes before the new year?

 

That would be a lot, but at least one additional box is pretty realistic. Big empty spaces in the release schedule also offer opportunities for unannounced weirdness... Like, say a new Warhammer Quest game for 40k.

The article is about Inquisitor fiction, why would they not show that one of the Inquisitors precented had his own model.

 

The end comment is about the possebility of deploing "your own Inquisitorial retinue", nothing about that people can play any of the Inquisitors mentioned in the article.

They totally should show off the model: it's just that they should also slip in a line, or half a line to indicate "While this fabulous Inquisitor is usable in any Imperial Army, he is a legendary veteran, and his datacard can be found here."

 

Doing that would have been a more transparent presentation, and a direct link to the free datacard would actually have been really effective marketing.

Because out of the three that are mentioned, only Eisenhorn has a model and he has been Legend'd. While GW still keeps Legends stuff around, somewhat, they don't promote it- they want people to buy the hottest new stuff.
