    Well I got some for you:

    Militarum Tempestus:
    - No Relic Wargear at all
    - Super ****ty editing on the book
    - No named HQ's (or even one), with the most bad *** human military organisation in the galaxy, one would guess atleast someone would have made some deeds to make his name known...
    - Rules that are either invalid or i just don't understand the core rulebook..
    - Sub par release overall

    Astra Militarum:
    - Relic Wargear: str 5 ap4 pistol and +1s ap3 swords.. i mean wtf.. oh and a vox caster (although given the new rules this just might be the pearl of the codex...)



    Other than that I am drooling here for the new dex and i am positive i will be liking it eventually

    I noticed the complete lack of imagination and tactical diversity.

    I hope there's a page that I haven't seen that allows me to tweek the army as a whole to allow different tactics other wise a static gunline or tanks tanks tanks will be the only 2 options.

    If this is the new GW with Nids and Guard being boring, predictable, 5th edition rereleases; then I say we stage a protest.

    Marbo wasn't a crutch, he was a fun "I'm in your backfield, demo charging your... oh it scattered back on me... crap."

    As for the Vendetta, yeah I literally said because of it's point efficiency I had no reason to ever run a valk, guess I do now.
    The time for hope has long since past, the shadow of death is the one I cast.

    Umm - if the missing units were your idea of tactics for your whole army's game plan, as opposed to 1-trick pony distractions, you need to look up tactical diversity. As to a protest, yeah, you man the barricades comrade, I'll be inside with a beer and some dice.
    I'M RATHER DEFINATELY SURE FEMALE SPACE MARINES DEFINERTLEY DON'T EXIST.

    Looking the figures available on the GW website and the rumours about missing named heroes, I have a sneaky suspicion that there are going to be a few supplements. Mordians are for sale, Gaunts Ghosts, Shaeffers Last Chancers as well. Looks like they are targeting our paper / ebook crack addiction as well as our plastic one.

    Well, my point of view might be different. I don't use any tanks in my guard, just dudes. So, I used Al or Creed to outflank a chunk of them. Now, that's gone, and I'm worried about running out of room in my deployment zone at this point. And Aegis lines are only so long!

    Yeah, that's true. Would love to see a Shaeffer formation with all the crazy rules it had before!

    So you used Creed and Al'rehem? Were the Troops Catachan perchance?

    Wall of Martyrs Network Boy, Wall of Martyrs network. Stubborn is a bigger deal now we have less Commissars at our disposal.

    Yeah but as a formation, had it been in the book as Elite like it used to be no one would ever take anything else in Kill Team Games. EVER!

    Or maybe we'll get a 13th Penal Legion Supplement that will come with a new plastic Shaffer with a Lt Cage mini?

    Maybe we can send the Chaos and Nid guys and the people waging a war against Lords of War in 40K to back him up?


    And then call in exterminatus on that point?

    Well I'm glad I never converted that counts as Marbo Riddick Mini for my Penal Legion army. Would be less bugged by his removal had they added a generic 1-3 choice budget Marbo As the idea of a crazy lone wolf Veteran is an appealing one, laspistol and ccw base with power weapon or sniper rifle or poison or demo charge ect options. Sorta how the Red Terror turned into Raveners.

    Nice I plan on getting the Jailbirds to fill out my Penal Legion army (might just have a full platoon of ladies if I do that rather than one measly Squad.) and maybe convert a few of the and teh Iron Legion girls for my Savlar army.
