Panzer Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Blood Angels can shoot well enough. The better BA lists balance shooting and melee so they aren't completely screwed. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar K. Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I think Slaanesh only defence against shooting will be the Deep Strike strat, which probably won't be enough to make them competitive but oh well... at least they're cool. Though things like World Eaters, Blood Angels or Ctachans are screwed against us , let's hope the Codex has something that hasn't been shown to defend us from the likes of tau, artillery or primaris (because advancing and charging isn't enough to close the gap). Nahh mate, deepstriking a Lord of Skulls will be the most fun Ive had in years :P radionausea and Blackarmor_redtruth 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshlands Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The tzeentch reduce damage by 1 seems pretty potent. I'd like Kairos with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 So as we're getting all this on the community site I'm presuming pre-orders are next week? Which is good, but when I get something other things tend to mysteriously fall into my basket as well... which isn't so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileposter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Preorders tomorrow. Hits shelves next week. Raven1 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slan Drakkos Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 All these rules are cool, but the real question on my mind is whether the Doom Rider is gonna be in this codex or not. Sawtooth 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slan Drakkos Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Sorry, no Doomrider.well, that sucks. Possibly in the Slaanesh/emperor's children codex when it comes out then. *Sob* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargazer1st Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Really looking forward to this codex. 6th and 7th made me shelf all my horrors, but this looks to make me want to dust them off again. Just wish i could get the exalted flamer without the chariot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Don't hold your breath for Doomrider. I'm surprised GW even mentions him in the fluff sometimes still. Just make yourself a badass daemonic bike mounted model and use it as Daemon Prince with Wings. That way you can even switch between using him in your CSM army or in your Daemon army. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar K. Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 If you guys want the memerider, uh, doomrider back be sure to make an awesome meme about it and spam the boards.I am certain GW will consider it if enough interest is shown. Could be Slaanesh's Sly ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably wouldn't be too difficult to enlargen one of the small Flamers, there's plenty of other for bits you could use. I've got three burning chariots magnetized to be either burning chariots and heralds on foot, or heralds on chariots plus exalted flamer on foot or exalted Flamers on foot and heralds on discs - it's pretty flexible!

Castigator Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Somebody mentioned on facebook that they have removed the option to take Slaanesh Heralds on a Seeker Chariot. Has anybody heard anything about this? I ask because the index reduced the Seeker Chariot down to a unit of 1 instead of the 1 to 3 chariots and in 7th I was running the grand Cavalcade with 5 units of 2, so in 8th I was running a few Heralds on chariots so that I could use my Seeker Chariots. I'm concerned that my Chariots have now been relegated to the shelf alongside my Sisters of Battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However yes we got the rumour that Heralds lost their mount options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castigator Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Thanks for the confirmation sfpanzer.......unfortunately, most tournaments only allow one of each detachment in the UK, so my Grande Cavalcade will be joining my Sisters of Battle on the shelf. I don't suppose the Seeker Chariot unit size has been put back to 1-3 chariots by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 Well with a Battalion Detachment, an Outrider Detachment and a Spearhead Detachment you'd still get 11 Seeker Chariots in your list. Plus some Seeker for the Outrider Detachment and some Daemonettes for the Battalion Detachment. The only really annoying thing here would be that the Heralds would be on foot. However if you REALLY want to play a pure Chariot army then you can still just use the Index stuff for as long as it's legal to be honest. No informations on unit sizes etc. so far but I doubt anything will change. Somebody mentioned on facebook that they have removed the option to take Slaanesh Heralds on a Seeker Chariot.

Hathor42 Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 So one of the relics for khorne gives a model extra attacks on 6s to wound. The insanate rage thirster would get 2 attacks with his new sweep attack. Also 6s to hit would give him bonus hits. Sounds crazy fun.
