SoB WD codex 'leaked'

[Melissia]

not necessarily true

if a unit has a Canoness it can use two acts of faith, if a priest also joins it has access to three, while this codex may not please everyone (or even anyone) it is very much still a WIP. Only moved into WD if the rumours were true because the necrons were not yet ready.

until someone actually plays with the new rules in there entirety all we still have is idle speculation.

It's not WIP. It's a release version.

[Necron2.0]

From what I've seen and read, yeah ... this thing sucks harder than a toothless ten dollar crack whore. An apt analogy, considering what will happen to sisters every single time they take the field.

There is a solution, however. Everyone should turn towards 52° 56' 26.70" N by 1° 10' 26.76" W (or in Google Earth: 52.94075N, 1.1741W). When properly aligned, raise your right hand (or left, if you're left handed) with your palm facing towards you. Curl down your thumb, index, ring and little fingers and repeat after me ... "FUG you! I'm going to play the old codex, allies and all, until you people over there can scrape together enough neurons to form the merest spark of a clue."

Necron2.0 = WINNING!!!

Not sure how people have read this, did you get an early copy? I haven't read it but from reading the comments here, it looks like Melissia is right. Too bad, I was hoping she was wrong.

So I guess the question is now, who plays for fun and can still use the old codex. I guess in tournies you can't use the old codex.

So out of curiosity, what is the better codex? SoB or Tyranids? Guess it doesn't matter if you are a SoB player. What is the reasoning for this. Talk about spitting in the face of your customers.

Oh well, maybe GW is thinking this will piss of the remaining SoB players to start collecting something else. Otherwise I can't believe GW would do this all over again.

compare the Blood Angels WD release to the final released codex, they are very similar I am sure...

if it was completely finished they would have released a codex not put it in WD anyone except a very paranoid person with perhaps a persecution complex would understand this.

it is a trial balloon only just to update a very old codex in the direction they plan on taking it.

The bytching about faith points boggles my mind.

How often SHOULD their prayers be answered? I'm sorry, I thought they were supposed to be at least a semi rare thing.?

So are Daemons. So let's limit the Chaos codex to 1 daemon prince and maybe 3-5 lesser daemons. The daemons will also lose their Gifts of Chaos and will have to make standard Psyker tests.

So wait, through religious conviction one can make a bullet hit harder?

More like their shooting more accurate. Rending represents a bullet/shot hitting the weak spot in someone's Armour. It other represents a weapon that's accurate enough, or shoots fast enough to accomplish this. I.E Sniper Rifles and Assault Cannons.

I don't know what the official fluff explanation in the new book is. But so me it sound like the sisters concentrating to gun down the enemy they hate so much.

[fuzzbuket]

so its a fact:

GW hates =][=


gk was vanillaed into generic marines with some complicated weapons and sisters units, and well remove the cool stormtroops. however we will make it competitive so people will play it.

now SOB may be going the same way , according to mellisa. but they will be competitive if you spam metal bawxes.


*cries*
*invents time machine back to before IG, SW , BA and GK*
*ahhh better*

not slightly DC,DC dreads, most of the IC's and the black rage all are different. oh and they gave rhinos doors.

done.

Seems like there can be only one solution for existing sisters players:

Counts as Blood Angels

Celestine = Sanguinor
Cannoness = Reclusiarch
Celestians = Honour Guard
Sister hospatiler = Sanguinary priest
Seraphim = Assault marines
Battle sisters = Tactical marines
Repentia = Death company
Penitent engine = Furioso dreads
Immolators = Razorbacks
Rhinos=Rhinos
Exorcist = Predator

Play a razorspam list = sorted

I'm at the point now this might be the only way I'd even consider playing Sisters, and mostly not even then.

sarcasm is often lost on the internet

I was reading the BA WD codex the other day whilst looking through my old WD
