So essentially they're saying a kit is fully compatible with itself?! The intercessors in the battleforce are fully compatible with the intercessor box! Whoo!


I'm still trying to figure out who still needs intercessors? They keep making these value-added boxes with stuff I don't value enough to buy the box. I didn't sell the Intercessors bits on Ebay from the launch boxed sets, I doubt I COULD sell them now. Start swapping the newer and less included stuff into the boxes and I'm going to start paying attention - and that's win-win. There are a number of things I want but haven't wanted ENOUGH to buy yet. Put a couple of those together in a value box, and I'm buying. Leave them out and I'm still keeping the individual boxes in my cart saying Maybe next week. I play UM, I already have somewhere around 4 Calgars, 2 Tiggies, 3 Cassius (One is Deathwatch, yeah). Don't put named in a Value box. Put the Gravis Captain with multiple melee options. I want three of him. Well two, because the original Gravis Captain already had a Power Sword. Put new releases that fill out the missing data sheets - a gravis lieutenant, Jumping Melee Primaris.

Not having read the rest of the thread, I think Boarding Action is filling the role that Kill Team was kind of aimed at: being a low cost entry point into 40k.

Kill Team couldn't really do that because the mechanics are too different and your troops can be armed with gear that has no meaning if you want to expand to 40k, where Boarding Action is mostly 40k in miniature. There's even a few sensible things like not being able to kill models at range if nobody in the attacking unit can see it that really should get ported into the core 40k rules.

Well I was really looking fwd to giving boarding actions a go but its impossible to get the rules.

pre-ordered Abaddon book and just had email stating a 10th March restock date!

Anyone know if the full rules for Boarding actions are in Angron?

liking the look of quite a few of the Boarding Patrol sets to use with 40k - could be tempted to scenery as well lol

Necron one is quite a nice army builder for sure, especially as a bolt on to Indomitus or a Combat Patrol. Or indeed, both. Not a massive amount of repetition between those three, and even then it’s most Warriors, who can usually find a place in a list.

I don't recall them being mentioned in the preview article for AoO: Angry Ron, so I doubt it.

This is, emphatically, why I will continue suggesting nuking Guard and starting over again. It's a legacy army that needs to be rebooted with a new focal point.

Confirmation of why no-one should listen to Kanluwen when it comes to the IG - he doesn't want the IG, he want's Kan's New Model Army...

GW provides a photo of models that are not usable in the format and even mentions them in the description. In the field of gerontology we typically provide home support for people who are at this level of mental decline.

Paradigm for a happy relationship with Games Workshop: Burn the books and take the models to a different game.

They are not.
Mustering forces rules
Some more strats/gear/enhancements for warlord
Some faction specific stuff
Rules for the kill Team terrain bitz
Bunch of new missions.
Not really worth the $ imo
