I get that, I wasn't arguing for what is or what others are doing, I'm saying I don't agree with it, specifically how things are scattered between paper and an app. I am fine with rules being on sperate printed media. I just dont like it across printed and digital. Again, pick a lane. 

 

This is definitely a "have the cake and eat it too" thing. The models are just not compatible. A digital model of frequently updating rules does not work with the physical model of a rulebook that you buy once and take with you for the whole game lifecycle.

Is the WarCom download for the Faction Pack actually live?

I can't see it on the site.

Not yet. The "influencers" get it earlier than us mere mortals along with everything else. 

 

Should be up in an hour or two I'd have thought. 

 

Marines today, xenos tomorrow, chaos Wednesday? Unless they break xenos into eldar and then other xenos to string it out a little more.

I'm holding out hope that my plan for TSons is possible and Rubricae Phalanx isn't 3dp (also morbidly curious what GW will count as a Support character for TSons)

I suspect it'll be:

Monday - marines

Tuesday - rest of imperium

Weds - chaos

Thurs - xenos pt1

Friday - xenos pt2

Liberator Assault Group is 3DP meaning it cannot be taken in a 1000 point game. Awful. I'm actually upset by that. 

 

Disappointing but not surprising. On the plus side, AI and RCO both survive into 11th edition (this was uncertain since they are not in the codex). Basically this means the BA bolt-on detachments are irrelevant unless you are playing Onslaught.

It's probably the strongest melee detatchment rule in the game, so I get why it's 3 DP.  They really don't want you combining it with anything else because it can probably end up being a bit nutty.

 

I'm sure if you talked to your opponent ahead of time and said "Hey I want to play LAG." they probably won't care.  But maybe you only play against rules lawyers, who knows?

Im so glad Orbital :cuss: is a 2dp, I can just mix that plus Marshall's Household so my Bladeguard+Sword Brethren list is still works! Also Emperors Champion kept his devastating wounds vs characters so the detachment isn't a must have imo.

 

Black templars may still be flavorful yet crappy but I can work with this.

Stormlance is 3DP and thus unusable in 1000pt games.

White Scars suffering the Curse of Ravenwing and Wolfcav existing...

 

On a more positive note, the (formerly known as) Goonhammer article was wrong and Deathwatch did get updated, specifically the Corvus Blackstar lost AIRCRAFT.

Yeah but now I have to have these conversations. I'm not a meta chaser, I hardly even win, I just want the red thirst rule because Blood Angels have had that for a long time and to me it's tradition. Now I'm locked out of 1000 point games.

Surprised but pleased that the Space Wolf Detachments are all 2DP. Saga of the Greatwolf + Veterans of the Fang makes Terminators look pretty good.

All the SW ones are 2dp because comp Wolves nearly always run Stormlance.

I guess we can run Encarmine Speartip + Legacy of Grace in small battles which sort of gives us BA-lite. :ermm:

Why did they have to complicate everything. Red Thirst should just be our faction ability.

Your faction ability is Oath of Moment 'cause you're still LSM, right?

Or do Divergent chapters get 2 faction abilities. I forgor.

You're only locked out of 1000 point games being played at a GW officially sanctioned event.  For everything else, there is "Talk to the person you're spending 3-4 hours with".  It's not that big of a deal and I can't imagine many people having much of an issue.

I'd rather have Red Thirst replace Oath for my Blood Angels

Speaking of DP tho, are they actually listed in the faction packs?

 

If they're not and we're getting the DP from the MFM like the unit points, that definitely points towards DP being a flexible number.

 

Maybe if comp BA armies diversify away from LAG (or some other BA combo makes LAG look tame in comparison) LAG might drop down to 2dp.

No, ever since 10th edition introduced the "one in, one out" rule, we just get 1 Faction ability and 1 Detachment ability. I can see why as it stops crazy ability stacking but it still feels weird to play Blood Angels in non-LAG detachments without Red Thirst. 

 

One thing to note is that it is rumoured that Marines will be loosing OOM in the new codex and getting Doctrines back as the default ability instead (and presumably Gladius being dropped or reworked to do something else). This could pair nicely with Legacy of Grace as +1" Advance and +1" Charge will pair nicely with Advance + Charge in the Assault Doctrine.
