Worst case scenario they'll have you send them pictures of the miscast parts, and they'll send you a whole new kit. I have 15 Sword Brethren in a box because of some miscasts in the first set. Best part was that I was able to just clip off the dude's hosed up head and replace it with another one. The bubbles are a bit harder to work with unfortunately.

Some notes:Games Workshop posted:
e: It's cool to see them boosting units that never see play. Though I'd like this to be the first edition of 40k I've played where Eldar *aren't* comically overpowered* *note: I have been playing since 2nd edition

Wonder how many swings the Avatar will get with that bad boy. 3? 4? Rolling two damage dice and -4 AP it's going to punk a lot of things.

Curious Ynnari only got mentioned in passing. Over/under on them being spun into their own unique faction? Because that'd be rad.

That line was clearly talking about Eldar rangers, who were not so good though. SteelMentor posted:Curious Ynnari only got mentioned in passing. Over/under on them being spun into their own unique faction? Because that'd be rad. They're already their own faction for all intents and purposes. I think this article was important to assuage fears that the three eldar factions would be squatted and replaced with Ynnari, which a lot felt would happen.

Hey all, I just released my Dawn of War III review if you want to check it out. I've got a lot of words to say about this game, and after hearing so much lazy (but justified) criticism of it, I wanted to put out something with a bit more substance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfyYDsXKGk4

Interesting part of the article: "Howling Banshees get a new lease on life too. These girls are now faster than almost any other Infantry unit in the game, and nearly always get to go first in the Fight phase even if they didn’t charge." Huh. So I guess they must have a special rule allowing them to always strike first, because didn't they already establish "If you charge, you go first"?

Well, yeah, hence the 'even if they didn't charge' line. Their Banshee masks have always done some initiative fuckery in the past.

I'm fine with this kind of thing being a special rule instead of a ton of unit screwery. It basically boils things down to "don't charge a banshee if you don't have to," which is fine.

Artum posted:Does seem like the correct response to banshees is fire on overwatch and lots of it. They used to block overwatch as well, which was always a pain in the arse. None of these units are bad units currently - the Avatar is a buff stick with a 12" bubble. Howling banshees and scorpions were also already good. It's just they weren't overpowered compared to a bunch of other stuff in the army. They don't really need improving. Just the other stuff needed bringing down to the same level.

DoW1 had the CSM as almost identical to SM in the initial release, and DoW2 had absolute horrendous balance. 3 relatively balanced races isn't a bad start

Zaphod42 posted:ASPIRING SORCERERS ONLY KNOW SMITE? Wizards in AOS only know 1 unique spell but can gain others through their Battletome (Codex) There is probably a bunch of generic Spell Lores that all psykers can learn from in the basic rules. Or there isn't. Either way it's too early to draw conclusions and start posting poo poo like "FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK YOU GW "

Looking over the new rules, i'm trying to figure out how save rolls would work. Lets say a Rubric Marine shot at another Rubric Marine with an Infernus Boltgun. Rubric Marines have a 3+ save, and the AP of the Infernus Boltgun is -2. Does this mean that you'd have to roll a 5+ to save?

Zuul the Cat posted:Looking over the new rules, i'm trying to figure out how save rolls would work. Normally yes. But, because the Rubric Marines also get a +1 to their save when the target of a 1 damage weapon, they'd actually get a 4+ in this case. If they were being hit by a Melta with its -4, which does more than 1 damage per hit, they'd get the 5+ from their Favoured of Tzeentch ability. If they didn't have that, they'd be facing no save at all.
