fashionly snort posted:Yeah, but someone asked if the purpose of that other rule was to give the sorcerer a legion trait I assumed that the Fallen rule was to preserve a sorcerer's legion trait. Other than that I couldn't figure out how to get Fallen into a detachment with units bearing a legion trait to trigger the new rule. Your point is excellent; the sorcerer (and the rhino) aren't eligible for legion traits in the first place. In the result, it appears there is presently no way to actually trigger the new rule for the Fallen. The Codex didn't fix what broke with keyword rule change.

Am I missing something?  The Sorcerer gets the legion trait for THE FALLEN because it has that keyword. For legion/chapter specific units you don't have to literally have <CHAPTER> or <LEGION> to get the tactic, you need to have the Chapter/Legion keyword that matches the tactic. Otherwise named characters would also not get their own chapter tactics. The Rhino doesn't because gently caress (chaos) space marine vehicles apparently but that's not exactly new. You can take an all FALLEN Vanguard detachment (the stratagem even specifically calls out a Vanguard), and you can still take other <Legion> detachments.The Fallen have a legion trait in the new CSM book, right? Reroll 1s to hit when not moving? That feels like it could be a fever dream but I also distinctly remember seeing it in one of the Vigilus previews.

Does the CSM Codex have everything in it for new Chaos Marines or is there supplementary stuff in that Vigilus book? Also can I assume no Emperor's Children/Slaanesh specific release for 40k since they're in the CSM book?

It's not a clarification. It's from the original codex. It's continued inclusion is probably an editing error - an unfortunately confusing one. JBP posted:Does the CSM Codex have everything in it for new Chaos Marines or is there supplementary stuff in that Vigilus book? Also can I assume no Emperor's Children/Slaanesh specific release for 40k since they're in the CSM book? No. The new codex does not have the detachments, wargear and stratagems from Vigilus.

I thought it could be fun to use that detachment to bring some sorcerers into an imperium army with my definitely-not-demon-worshipping inquisitors, but half of their psychic powers are gated behind the HERETIC ASTARTES keyword which they all lose, so that's... pretty unexciting.

So I bought three heldrake's for 80 bucks (cdn) ... this was a waste of money right. (I thought the models might be fun to try my new airbrush out on, but man, the stat block on these really sucks. Is there some cool Synergy or something that could at make these viable in a gimmicky kind of way? Is there a cool use to them I might be missing? I'm not the best player so I might be missing something)

I've had an idea and a name for an ork kill squad for quite some time now and that ridiculously bright colour scheme has given me some serious inspiration to get it done. Shame I don't have the spare cash to do so at the moment as i've spent it all on PLA and the shadowspear box. I'm sure I'll end up posting it in a few months though - arena making orks somewhat more viable has certainly helped my interest in buying/building them.

Maneck posted:The rule: Fallen haven’t been able to be souped in since Chapter Approved last year when for battle brothers you need to have 2 keywords in common. Nothing has changed. Fallen have to be a Vanguard detachment like Inquisition, except now you get some new rules and now can sneak a sorcerer via those new rules into the imperium. It’s as mediocre as before.

Yeah, GW didn't forget anything. Fallen are just not meant to be a serious army And Fallen get the Dark Angels Chapter trait in place of a Legion one

I just made the mistake of opening the Eldar 'dex from 2006. All of the Aspect Warriors (excepting Shining Spears and Warp Spiders), War Walkers, Wraithlords and Guardians are at least 13 years old.  Most everything else is even older.  That loving tank probably hasn't changed since it was first released.  I really hope that they get to these power metal spaecei aelvesi soon.

Leman Russ could stand to be re-engineered in terms of sprue/assembly, but they should never touch the actual design. Wave Serpents look incredible and are really well engineered for assembly and customization. It's basically a perfect model.

I don't really like the way her torso's arched like that. Whether that's supposed to be an actual corset or armour stylised as a corset it shouldn't allow for that kinda movement. tbh I'm in the boat of wishing they'd completely redone the SoB aesthetic, dump the weird fetishy elements while keeping the walking reliquary look, but I'm just glad they're getting love at all.

The Severina Raine comparison is a good one to make. Her model was great, and there was promise that in the future GW might keep that aesthetic (i.e. boob plate sucks). Whereas the Sisters of Battle will get to keep going into battle with corsets which funnel weapons fire into their mid-torso, at least for another two decades.

What’s fetishy besides the corset? The model doesn’t even have battle high heels, which is a pleasant surprise. Boobplate is what it is I guess. I agree I’d have preferred a more drastic redesign (Raine is much better imo) but overall I’m happy with how they look so far.

It's such an iconic look and one that people have been loudly clamoring for so I get them just wanting to update, not redesign it. As much fuss as they got over the Severina model, there would be riots over any significant changes for Sisters. Like I said, I'm honestly fine with Sisters staying what they are so long as they uphold the promise of more non-boobiful women models down the road.

That's a good kind of riot to have. Run out the gross weirdos (the big spenders aren't going to quit your franchise - warham became part of their identity long ago), get a lot more consumers over the long term that aren't interested in a hobby with titsploitation. Pissing off or outright humiliating the dregs of the internet is always the best choice, even if it's not right away.
