Shame it's just a typo. Transfers are getting scarce for some marine subfactions. When 8th launched, GW had transfers included in the specialized boxes (i.e. Dark Angels Intercessors) rather than in the upgrade kits. Then they stopped selling the specialized boxes. Newer marine factions get the transfers in their upgrade kits, but GW didn't repackage the old ones to include transfers.

Is "rebox everything for 9th" essentially just "shoved an updated datasheet into the box"?

Sometimes they'll swap in a different base size as well.

If they were so poorly written, killing them might actually be an act of contrition.

I read the Eisenhorn/Ravenor books, but the endings of all of them were complete garbage, and I had to continuously remind myself that I was really reading pulpy schlock and I could treat myself to something good like Ann Leckie afterwards.

This is the way to go. Start with Eisenhorn because it's near the top of the list of everyone who reads the stuff. If you bounce off that, it's safe to give the rest of the Black Library genre stuff a pass - with the possible exception of the historical stuff, as several people have pointed out.

I'll one up that



The Assault Intercessor sprue has a helmet on left hip bit to go with the sergeant head which happens to be the opposite side of the Outrider. I could do have two Outriders without helmets...

That's good. Alternatively, fit a helmet on his head, and he's the health and safety officer, carrying extras to hand out when he spots another Space Marine that "lost" his.

Do we have any stats on normal tac/assault/devastator marines? I'm kind of wondering if all small marines are going to be veterans from here on out.

They'll get two wounds and longer range bolters. Presumably scouts are the only marines staying at 1. Not sure what that'll mean for Black Templars.

There's an article to go with that amazing picture, but it's not great, including because it amplifies that idiot. https://www.vice.com/en_uk/article/...pVfWsOjrMr0zHHI

It's just straight up gameplay, IIRC fluff has terminators able to ride in rhinos, it's just not ideal for them to combat deploy from one.

99% sure that Terminators were allowed in Rhinos in 2nd edition, but that ability was dropped during the transition to 3rd.

I understood that once a 9th edition codex is released, the app will no longer provide "free" rules for that army with the subscription. It would make a lot of sense if they gave everyone paying a subscription all the rules, but not the fluff content, and fill out some of the value that was perceived as missing from the app.

The indomitus stats are in the app under the Edge of silence : Space Marines and Necrons and it's broken up by chapter.

It sounds like GW is going to improve the app, but until they fix that organizational structure it's still going to suck.

There's people saying wait for bug fixes. But apparently a lot of the bugs seem to be the same ones that never got fixed in Mordheim.

I loved tabletop Mordheim, and tried very hard to like the PC version, but I just couldn't.

That's a beautiful grey. Have you posted the instructions on how to do that somewhere?

Are Librarian Dreadnoughts going to be a thing for all Chapters now in all games, or just in Crusade games?

You're right it's not a coincidence, you're still here.

You've got a long grudge-list, friend. If it wasn't him, it would have been someone else.

Lets hope the new thread can leave behind the vendetta posting. It is toxic and makes it suck to read otherwise good content.
