Fire Golem Posted Sunday at 06:54 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:54 PM Not on topic here but I was hoping when I saw the High Elves banner that the Necromunda Nomads would be up as well so I’m doubly disappointed.

They statistically get treated better than Chaos units. I mean... I based my ridiculous prediction for the Flawless blades after the DWK and ICC launch state pre-fix. I think they could mess it up at launch and fix it in the errata.

It's something he's "heard" and it's also something that can't really be proved without an influencer being blacklisted. Basically, if the preorder notification arrives in a week's time, then you'll get your answer as that content will be ready to go the following Saturday.

Though even then, an Eviscerator is an Eviscerator, whether it be a sword or an axe. Whereas in older editions those might have been different weapons.

The only reason it gets mentioned so frequently now is that it stokes the frenzied excitement EC players have for the mere potential of leaks. They're foaming at the mouth, at the mere potential of a whiff of a leak.

Tyranid Warriors have three different melee weapons on the models, all use a unified profile. GSC Aberrants have giant power hammers and dual power picks, use a unified profile. Yes, but those are a different kind of unit. Flawless Blades are the 3 man elite of the elite units. Comparable specialized marine units are Inner Circle Companions, Sanguinary Guard, Deathshroud Terminators, Exalted Eightbound... All of those have several weapon profiles, even the DA and DG ones, which only have one loadout. And the Flawless Blades are supposed to be the best swordsmen of the Legion, or any Legion. If the rules didn't make a difference in the fighting style of those guys with one or two swords it would be soooo lame.

Could the "punishment for calling on their Daemon patrons and failing to get any kills" be something like a hazardous melee profile? Something like one basic attack, and then an enhanced one that's straight up better but inflicts X mortal wounds on the Flawless Blades unit if it misses?

Apparently the punishment for using the daemon power and not killing the target is death (which I assume will be MW on the blades).

I hate it. Damn.. I didnt think about that.. thats kind of a low blow and I wonder what is the worse one : Showing this now so people can make a hard choice decision, or showing this after the boxset would have been on preorder ( while technically that would have been worse, it makes it easier to mentally go "ah well, I already have the codex coming my way." ) I also personally feel like this makes they kind of "have" to do a little more than a solo character (or solo automata unit in TS case.) release with the other codexes, otherwise the whole thing smells even more cheap. ( despite these kind of things not necessarily being as profitable for a miniatures company as people think.)

INKS Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago Man that is tough. You buy the army box and get a codex. Then you buy the special codex because it’s beautiful. And now you have 2 codex you don’t need. Lol brutal. and you need to collect all of the special for the medals. Which we know will sell out and be scalped all to hell its super cool but I am kinda glad that I am missing out.

Considering the 'collectors' edition codexes are double the normal price, I'm assuming this will be around $200CAD in which case I'd bow out I think INKS 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384251-ec-rumours/page/73/#findComment-6093978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
