Apolgies- wasn't sure what forum to put this in..

 

Wasn't there an update for the Wych Cults on the GW site? Or at least the army list left there from 3rd edition? Thought I saw it a few months ago, can't seem to find it now.

Anyone know if the list is still available and/or legal?

Wych Cults are indeed still legal and very viable.

The DE codex 2nd printing has Arcites and Dracites to round out the leadership of the Wych Cult.

Is that the only difference? Can Wyches be taken as troops or anything?

Well, there are quite a few changes.

Wyches become troops and HQ retinue (No Incubi or warrior Retinue)

you can't take Haemonculus, Grotesques, or Talos.

Warrior and raider squads become Elites.

You can take as many warp beast packs as you have wych squads.

Thanks Ebon. And that is in a later edition of the DE codex (evidently than the one I have from V3).

Yeah, I just wanted to answer the question.  But, in the 2nd printing of the DE codex, the one with the White Skull in the corner has all the stuff in it.  Warriors are elites is the other major change, but he pretty much summed it up.

Also there are more vehicle upgrades and wargear options for either DE list. The latest Chapter Approved also has the rules in it, but that's probably harder to get at this point than the updated DE codex. Anyway, that's what I use as I still have the original codex too.

All of it is in the new Codex, and if you need those pdf's let me know and I can get them too you.

Thanks for the info guys. I could see where one could make a nice harlequin list with this. Some harlequin elites form the new codex, with the remainder being wyches as harlequin initiates. Could be an interesting list.

How are you taking harliquins with dark eldar?

Also would like to point out that wyches are nearly as good as harliquins (if not better in alot of respects). I suppose you could simply use wych cult as a proxy list for harliquins. Wyches rules match up rather well to harliquins. They're drug roll could be some sort of special dance or something.

Ahh so it's in the Codex.

Glad I don't look stupid now...

Thanks All- Looks like I need to buy a newer codex.
