Um, no.

You can use those models already. Vanguard are not one of the better units in the SM dex. I don't want my BA saddled with them as well.

I would just like GW to add the rule for heroic intervention to VAS and DC with no points increase.

G

By replacing HG with VG, we lose SangPriests and so forth...

I also like the VAS as-is.

I dunno. I think that might be a little much.

I wondered why GW wouldn't take advantage of pdf to update them, but then remembered that they wanted to avoid having players walking around with multiple pages of documents and faqs and such. But they still release FAQS, and have openly said that they don't really care much for the tourney scene, so there isn't that much of a reason not to.

Isn't there something else about not everyone having access to the intarwubz, too?

If you can afford the hobby, you are can either afford a connection, or you live in a country where public access (eg Libraries) exists.

Oh, you make complete sense, but GW has used it as a reason for not making their online FAQs and such "official". Never mind that you can't really sell a PDF.

GW is against PDFs because it encourages permissiveness toward non-GW-official-lists. When it must be a GW printed Codex / Army Book, only GW wins.

Alas, my thirst we'll have to be sated with the DC that should be coming in soon.

Are you talking about New DC models from GW

No, I've just ordered them. Picking them up on Thursday. (God-EMprah, the DC are kewl). BTW, anyone know if they COME with jump packs or must I 'aquire' these myself?

I just meant that the models themselves were way cooler. That AND the Heroic Intervention rule thingy.

Yet they encourage us to make up our rules and ignore ones we dont like (Ex. DA faq).. All those index astartes and chapter approved lists were printed .. GW just makes no sense is all

They hate tournament gaming but they want everyone to use OFFICIAL lists (which generally means tournament legal)..

No packs. If you got the 5 man boxed set you get 5 metal bodies with plastic BP CS arms and metal shoulder pads with BA/DC iconography. You can get the packs from GW's bitz service now.

I have heard from my local store manager that the new BA Codex will be out around october 2010

Ho hum... I dont have access to the BA codex at this time. (yes i know it's online, that doesn't change my statement).
I have been using the Vanguard Veterans as my Honor Guard without a problem, but I believe there was an issue with the VG models having too many plasma pistols or the Relic Blade... Have to do a counts as.

Did anybody else hear anything about Razorback with Assault Cannons though? Was this a FW/IA thing? Awfully close to our boy Ba'al.

Or am I high on khat?

The assault cannon razorback is a space marine option.
