Cythereal posted:I wouldn't be surprised if Marines are condensed into two codices: codex chapters, and non-codex chapters, the latter covering the wolves, both angels, and maybe the templars. Templars should remain rolled into the main Codex, along with the other insufficiently-deviant chapters that are just "Ultramarines with like one different unit or a named HQ". Save the one-off codexes for the real weirdo fucker chapters.

What even makes templars different? Crusader squads instead of tac squads, and a bunch of characters and the no psyker rule?

Save the one-off codexes for the real weirdo fucker chapters. Templars are right on the line of different enough though - no psykers and mixed marine/scout squads are pretty unique. They aren't as unique as Angels or Wolves but they would be as unique as Blood Angels with like one or two more units - sword brethren with options distinct from Veterans maybe.

OhDearGodNo posted:In case anyone was too lazy to check, the 1st place army: That's not loving <Blood Angels> So before this news came out I was thinking about getting a second Stormraven and 3 Landspeeders (The land Speeders are mostly for thematic reasons). Now I'm seriously considering it a flying circus. What are your thoughts on the humble Land Speeder? At 100pts you can have 2 Heavy Bolters (to compare to the Twin rear end Cannon Razorbutt). At 111 you can trade out a HB for your own rear end Cannon, 116 for a Multi Melta and rear end Cannon(6P each). T5, W6. It's fairly pricey for the weapons it carries but I feel like the mobility advantage is worth it.

I think land speeders compare favorably to inceptors. 222 points vs 225, you get 2 heavy bolters and 2 assault cannons instead of 6 assault bolters. Same toughness, same armor, 12 wounds vs 6, 2 less attacks and no chance for mortal wounds, way loving faster. Inceptors can take better advantage of cover and get to deep strike, but the land speeders are so much faster and tougher that that helps mitigate it. Another downside is the inceptors, though shorter ranged, will still average more firepower because they don't have Heavy weapons and so don't get hosed by moving. Add a third land speeder in there and you've now got 20 inch movement instead of just 16, with inceptors at 10 inch movement. At 6 wounds each land speeders do have the potential of being one-shot by lascannons and such, but it's unlikely. So 2 speeders will probably take even heavy anti-tank weapons better than 3 inceptors will. Overall, I think I'd go with the land speeders over inceptors. And for a little more you can put those heavy guns on them like the multimelta and typhoon. If playing a really dumb opponent that doesn't know how to bubble wrap characters though, an inceptor squad dropping in the right spot can shoot characters dead pretty well. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Jun 28, 2017 |

How much are Know No Fear and First Strike going to be going for, anyway? At a cheap enough price point I could see First Strike basically being a constant complement to Dark Imperium.

I've heard that Know No Fear is 50 pounds. Or maybe it was the other one, I forget.

The quote for Know No Fear is "nearly half the price of Dark Imperium," ($160) which I'm taking to mean $85-$90. I would wager First Strike is around $55-$60.

Also there will be a $15 Reaver and Intercessor kit, not how many come in it, I expect 3 like the old small snap fit boxes. There will also be a $8 getting started kit which will be like the AOS one.

They're all the "easy build" kits that don't require glue. 3 reivers, a weird 3-model intercessor squad that has its own datahseet, 3 plague marines (including a blight launcher so I'll be getting two of those), and the 6 poxes. They're all different sculpts from the Dark Imperium stuff so I'll probably get them for variety. I definitely need 2 blight launchers, and may as well get extra poxwalkers in case they put themselves overstrength with their ability.

So Bullgryns got really good. Slabshield gives whem a 2+ save and they hit like autocannons in combat if they have the beatsticks or whatever the gently caress they're called. Best part: 42 pts each.

Going to try out a store Sunday, it's got a higher population than the one I normally go to and carries more product. I've heard stories though about the store running tournaments and any units that were bought at the store getting Preferred Enemy against the opposing army. So we'll see if that's still a thing.

Does the Intercessor squad have it's own data sheet? I thought it was weird they'd give only 3 models for a size-5 unit, but I figured they'd expect you to shore up the difference with extra purchases or the Getting Started model.

And it looks like they have an additional rule, too, if the red lines under And They Shall Know No Fear are any indication. Still, having them as an independent third troop basically means Dark Imperium + First Strike is a Battalion for both sides. As is you could squeeze Nurgle into one if you broke up the Poxwalkers, but that'd be a big advantage over the Primaris for a side that already seems to be winning more.

It's actually weird how many HQs the marine side gets. First Strike + Dark Imperium means 2 Lts and 2 captains, can only field 3 of them in a battallion.
