War Angel

That’s a new one.

Not in the slightest. It would be a waste only if they could only make c number of guard kits a year. They could make more, they’ve chosen to do this. That and they still have more kits they can now sell with more incentive.

Oh, also it keeps us multi pose.... I don’t know about other factions, but Marines new kits are all monopose

S10 AP3 is gravis/termi/ plague marine killer. Big difference than S9

I might have to get a few for the weapon options alone. Sadly the bolt gun is the least usable of the weapons, behind locked into one pose like that.

Sadly there’s a flaw to building a whole new kit. What would they change? Posses? Anything else they change and the models don’t mesh in with the current kits, and we end up with Primaris guard in firstborn squads. How much benefit is there to making a whole new kit, which requires new molds, just so our guys can be running slightly more left, or aiming a little higher? They could still release a veteran kit, with extra bits of armor. That would be nice, and could be possible. They might have to provide a new weapon with some use to make sure that the box has a hook for people to buy it other than it has nice new models. Silver lining, this kit means the line isn’t going to be rescaled to become larger, and cadians aren’t done yet. So there is a possibility for a veteran kit in the future, possibly when the codex drops.

She uses the pistol when there’s a chance, pulls it back for protection. Runs out of ammo, by this point she’s in close and ready to use the mace.

Can we wish for tactica? Or more specifically wish for things on how the army plays?

Well that turned out to be incorrect, as all of these responses are great and very helpful. Actually, I never suggested him to reroll the dice, he just did it. I think that’s what the issue is. A common theme has been to discuss things before the game, and while it would be impossible to predict everything that could happen in the next 2 hours, a discussion didn’t happen at the time. I pointed out that he picked up dice he shouldn’t have in his count, and would have been fine with him removing a dice or two from the wounds total, not a full reroll. So yeah, discussing it ahead of time is the common theme here.could also be some value to discussing it when it happens should it be an uncommon situation.

Sure, they give 15 secondary points. And then your opponent never scores more than 20 on primary. That’s a fair trade.

That they increased the Guardsmen to 5,5 PpM didn made any Sense. At the current Statline a Guardsmen isn't worth 5,5 Points, heck he isn't even worth 5. I can't shacke the Feeling that we already pay for a buff the Guardsmen gets when the Codex drops. Pure infantry is pretty strong, dropping guardsmen down to 4 points again would be over powered for those of us who only use infantry. I could get another 5 squads with that. And I’m already doing good without those squads. Not even grots or guants cost less than 5, and we shoot them off the board.

As long as she isn’t locked into a specific order, then she can technically be played as a generic character. You know, In head cannon. More flexible than having a primarch who’s locked into a single chapter. As long as she isn’t locked into a specific order, then she can technically be played as a generic character. You know, In head cannon. More flexible than having a primarch who’s locked into a single chapter. I’m in the same boat. Never played a game with them, just finished my first model, a commission for someone with more knowledge than me. I did a little customizing for my repentia though. The worst part of the paragons is they’ve ruined my plans on having a few of every unit I like in a single list, maybe I’ll have to make a 3,000 point list to fit these lovely ladies in.

Maybe he can clarify it for himself, but it doesn’t read as though he’s saying the fluff he views as accurate is the fluff written in the codex. What do you mean by “their distinction to make”

I should probably better describe what happened, it was a few weeks ago so I didn’t really think about the details properly. Shot, hit a few times, rolled wounds, picks up the dice and tells me the wounds before I can remind him (he’s already shot at them earlier) that I had used transhuman phisioligy on the unit, and he was picking up 2’s and 3’s. Well because he grabbed them too quickly he didn’t count the dice, so he decides to start re rolling. I went from taking 4 wounds to more (as an example, I don’t actually remember this at this point) So it really felt like a cheap shot, because it went from me suffering X wounds when he ignored my strat, to suffering X+ when he “did it right”.

The problem with the blast rules IMO is that they don’t really do much. A D6 weapon shooting a unit that is 6-10 models strong only gets an extra .5 hits (from an average 3.5 to 4 hits), and gets a further 2 when shooting 11+ models. Unfortunately, .5 extra shots just isn’t enough of an advantage to make D6 shots weapon worth their price. m Yeah but what units usually have those numbers? Guard are always 6+, so your extra hit as basically a guaranteed extra kill.
