Gunder posted:Why do Intercessor sprues have options for equipping them with knives when they don’t have access to them in the actual rules? I assumed they represent what the Intercessor uses in close combat. Just because they don't have a knife statline doesn't mean their weapons in the Fight phase have to be their rifle butts.

They're just cool bitz to stick on your models like all the other random poo poo that's in kits which doesn't have an in-game function.

They do have a knife statline. The statline for knives is S: User AP0 D1, per the "close combat weapon" statline in the core rulebook that ever model has. Combat knives as used by models such as reivers and scouts are a different weapon.

Gunder posted:The part of me that wants all my models to be WYSIWYG will probably prevent me from using the knives. The only thing about WYSIWYG you need to keep in mind is that your counts-as is consistent and not confusing. IE avoid "this heavy bolter is a lascannon, this heavy bolter is plasma cannon, but this heavy bolter is actually a heavy bolter". To use your own example, "all preds are all las" is perfectly fine. "This predator is all las, but the other one is not" when they both look identical is not.

WYSIWYG is lovely as an aspiration and wretched as a demand. It's also impractical. As noted above, there's lots of bits in the marines tactical box that are just for decoration... until a new edition rolls around and auspex scanners (or whatever) are wargear again and cost points and can only be taken on certain models.

It's mostly that a lot of people have really nasty ideas of what Slaanesh is and me not wanting to accidentally reinforce or support that. Slaanesh, for me, does the "what could be good, but corrupted and amped up to 11" thing in the most interesting way of the 4 Chaos gods. I also have avoided the literal tittysnake miniatures, though.

I hope Genestealers and Lictors are good, and that I can kit-bash GSCs out of the AdMech sprue. HYPED FOR KT.  E: Although if there are going to be goddamn Warriors (and Lictors) I really think Ogryns-upgradable-to-Bullgryns would have been fair. Other races seem to have/be getting CC specialists.

No Daemons, either. I mean, i get it, it would be extremely one dimensional but gently caress it. Karanak stalking the halls of an estate to a Knightly household would be rad.

(Realtalk, yeah it looks like CE killteams are going to be guardians and rangers, not cool aspect warriors. I’m holding out hope for warlocks, given they’ve shown stuff that indicates rules for psykers but we’ve not seen one yet.)
