Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!
Well, this time around the chapter tactics are much more balanced. Some are still terrible (Black Templar, because really, rending in challenges? Totally OP), but there are multiple, and very different, candidates for a solid army. Hit and Run bikes? Reroll 1's to hit with all bolters? Drop pod in, reroll to hit with everything one turn, then next turn reroll snap shots on overwatch when you get counter-charged, then last turn move onto objectives while still shooting heavy weapons? There are some pretty solid options.
I am the Hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor. I am the tip of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist. I am the woes of daemonkind. I am the Hammer.
Oh, entitlement for my army I've been playing since the codex was released being ruined in it's theme. It's bad enough the new marine codex breaks all fluff, graviton weapons being common place as plasma when the grey knights can only have one... Oh and new suits when they don't invent new things.
I'm sorry, but when Dark Angels, a codex which was literally just a space marine codex but more expensive in 4th, gets an update I expect Templars as well. Not to be rolled into a codex. You know how much of an insult to a Templar player that is? For one thing, the Templars do not follow the codex astartes in any way, so to be in the codex astartes is a kick in the balls.
For the Greater good.
When will the release date be for the new Space Marine stuff?
Has there even been said anything about extra stuff in the special edition ones?
Lol, you're going to get a codex someday with new models. BT players now wont get any models. While they will see every other marine codex continue to do so. You've never been rolled into a codex and abandoned. Sure I feel sisters pain. But they will get a codex. And again, you state things that are silly. BT players don't want access to the arsenal of marines. Why would we want access to an arsenal that shouldn't exist. Graviton weapons and that crap.
I just hope the playtest rumours were of a proper BT suppliment which will be accompanied by models.
Also, lucky to have a codex? Yeah... lucky to be put into the codex which breaks our fluff, you know being the ONLY chapter who doesn't follow the codex AT ALL. 6000 Marines, veterans only in their own squads, crusader squads etc.
