Hi there,
Having painted a reasonable White Scars army my self the first thing I'd say is don't be scared of white.

There are 2 ways to do white, you can start from a light grey and slowly work...

Thanks Jonscot,
That does clarify it a little, so basically GW doesn't yet know which way the court might rule the chapter house appeal so has excluded the rules and hence models so that it doesn't...

Just thought of an interesting but slightly more balanced version of the 2 for 1 swapping of slots.

Try this - For every troop choice selected over the required 2 you can exchange 2 elite, fast...

I'm sorry but how does the Chapter House case have a bearing on GW including or not including the spore among other models?

I can understand them not wanting third parties to produce competing...

Sorry thought I had better answer the Synapse/Shadows question. The way I read it they are two different special rules so no an increase in synapse does not equate to an increase in shadows.

Cheers

Hi Vepr,
no major revelations other than an obvious increase in ranged fire power with the increased model count and some new units. It feels like a revision of the previous dex rather than a...

daboarder - "Subterranean Assault" wording is slightly updated but basically the same rule, that sucks:( and haven't come across any way to modify reserve rolls

"The Horror" is -2 to leadership
...

-Caldera, No obvious way for the Haurspex to close the gap faster. Lictor looks kind of like a locator beacon and doesn't scatter it's self

JesseS, Yes Scything Talons are S User, AP6, Melee - No...

Hi all,
My flatmate managed to get a copy of the nid codex early. I managed to pry it of him while he's gone to work.

-I can confirm there is no transport bug
-Points reductions pretty much...

Not sure about the agis line,
There seems to be a trend to have more terrain now days, so it's not too hard to find some cover for the devs. Not to mention you can then fortify that cover with the...

I second the command squad option as the best bet, so long as they're on bikes.

It gives 15 grav shots for as little as 210 points on a much more mobile platform. They are less durable than...

Ahh, yes I see now.
The actual equipment list specifies the swap rather than the unit entry.

With the TL bolter on the bike to add a 3rd swap it makes the bike upgrade look even better to me...

Hi all,
Just picked up my copy of the new codex space marines and was playing around with one of my old White Scars lists from 5th edition. Now this will probably need some changes to optimise it...

"The Shield + Sword, though, prevent getting the gun."

Have i missed somthing here?
I'm pretty sure it just says "may take" before the list of choices, I dont see a reason why you can't take one...

Personally if your whole army is well themed with appropriate conversions etc I would have no problem with this, as long as it's obvious you haven't done it to gane a deliberate advantage.
As for...

Thanks every one for the help,
I thought we got it right at the time but it just didn't feel right especially after the dust settled and neither squad could consoladate back to base contact.
...

I was negotiating a piece of impassable terrain then failed my charge so was a little strung out, then got shot in the flank by outflanking reserve war walkers and then to compond things my opponent...

So I was playing a Beast Master squad and failed a charge on my opponents Harlequins only to get counter charged in his turn, unfortunite but all good so far. Then in combat I was out manuvered and...

Hi ElectricPaladin,
I've had a bit of experience with all biker builds and I don't think they are as effective in 6th ed even though bikes in general are better. Not sure how your variation on the...

Hi Spamthulhu,
I haven't had a great amount of experience with my white scars in 6th but I used to run a similar list but with Karn to give furoius charge and hit & run to the comand squad. It looks...

I would say this is pretty clear, you get D3 attacks with the weapons abilities and effects so if your a psyker you better make that leadership test. Activating a force weapon however is a seperate...

Interesting,
That looks very similar to the list I was just playing around with. I had a few less points tied up in HQ and a couple more spiders but the concept is the same.

It's a shame just...

Thanks for the thoughts guys,
I have been playing these lists for some time, though with Kahn, so no combat tactics choosing to run fun & games.

The thing is people keep saying its one of the...

Hi all,
I keep reading articles that mention Vulcan builds and bike builds as being amongst the more powerful options in the space marine codex. Having palyed a White Scars army for about 12 months...
