Please reword this, it kinda reads as willingly splitting the game into haves and have-nots with a bit of "well I got mine".

 

 

Not at all.

 

Ideally every codex gets updated quickly. I am a frequent and open critic of GW's sales-driven release schedule. I have even suggested that some sub-factions should be consolidated precisely for this reason. 

 

But... I'm also generally more patient than some people might be. I admit that waiting an extra year for a codex update doesn't bother me as much, but I also understand that I'm in a privileged position as I have multiple armies that I can cycle between.

Now that GW have remembered White Scars exist, it's time to see what kind of "parity" they do for the Chaos factions.

But first we gotta see how DW pan out.

Another thing to consider is that the “have nots” do have the benefits of 10th codex writing. They may have more powerful stratagems, better combos, more powerful detachment rules, and greater synergies within one or more detachments.

I found it extremely weird that White Scars had been omitted, especially as the codex detachment has no unique character related bonuses.

 

It felt so strange that I didn't comment, because I frankly don't trust the Warhammer Community team.

 

Glad they do have a bespoke detachment!

So the vanguard veterans do indeed carry combat shields which only grant a 5+ invuln. The squad from the Armageddon box still feels suboptimal though. Especially as you can have three plasma pistols per 5 guys if you leave the shields at home.

I don't get it why GW always puts subpar loadouts into their boxes (yah I know. To sell us the later release). We have been in the "all upgrades are free" epoch for a while now and there is zero reason to not put two aux launchers into the intercessors for example.

Doesnt strike me as legit but Mordian Glory has a supposed leaked Codex release order.

 Raven Guard getting a whole codex though so strikes me as scrapcode

Got a list by chance, they might be parroting Valrak who has it as:

- custodes

- tau

- nids

- ????

But with talk of a raven guard supplement as per the last batch of rumours but no date attached.

This is my cautiously optimistic army. 

 

While I'm annoyed that the allied detachment only allows 500 points (that's TWO kill teams), it could enable some interesting plays if their guns get the Sternguard treatment. Otherwise I'm just adding two squads of their Terminators, assuming they stay the same.

I really dont see them doing codex compliant chapter codices/supplements again as we havent had any since 8th I think?

We almost got them for 9th but they pulled late in the day and we got battleforces instead

Emperor's Children on the list. Hoping for new units.

I looked through the Codex leak and counted all the helmets on the shots of the new Intercessors. I counted 6 Mark X, 3 Mark VII, 1 Mark VIII and 1 beakie helmet. 6 default Mark X helmets in different styles and 7 classic style heads. That leaves 2 out of 13 that are of unknown mark at the moment. I made sure to check their bolters for the location of the magazine release to confirm they are images of the new Intercessors. 

 

dammit i just wrote up a post in the other thread on this, lol. I should have read through more of this thread but all of the rules talk was a lot to sort through to find discussion on the miniatures lol

Kinda hard NOT to add new units for a codex with 18 entries

Just noticed Kayvaan Shrike is missing the epic hero tag (assuming will be fixed in FAQ). Any one for taking 3 on release?
