Why do you guys hope it's bs we know the loyalist Primarchs are coming back in some way do you guys just want them to appear normal again I mean it's been 10,000 years

Well one of them is asleep, another vanished until his chapter can find all 7 artefacts and a third got his throat sliced and has sort of been on life support for all this time.

Pretty much the lion has the best chance of returning out of the loyalist primarchs at the moment, without some plot gymnastics.

So can exalted sorcerers be taken in units? Just trying to understand why they're 3 to a box

Because of a formation were you take 3+ of them. that and they put all three on a single sprue like they did for genestealer cult HQ's.

I'm guessing GW is trying to save on inventory management by making the three new sculpts a single box instead of 3 new clamp packs.

No, I don't normally write in my books but it is a review copy and the internet was shouting to hurry up ad spoil.

From where did you get the review copy (I'm not asking for source, just a local store or from GW)? I hope not from GW because if I were GW and had sent you a review copy I'd be pretty pissed that you posted pics of it's content. It is appreciated so don't get me wrong, I just want people with preview copies to be able to post what the sisters in Imperial Agents and Sisters codex (hopefully) are like.

Are some of these leaks coming from dyslexic cracked-out 14 year olds? They're barely readable.

How in God's name is no one talking about massive "jump" units thanks to that relic. Depending on its cost that item is damn magnificent.

Because it's stupid. TS are a shooty army so giving them the jump special rule is like giving Tau a rending melee attack.

Because a 12" move that ignores terrian never helped the Eldar army.

Eldar jet bikes are awesome for a few reasons, but being a shooty unit with a 12" move is one.

People talk like it is a sure things that loyalist primarchs are coming back. What's the source of this information?

Common sense. A story without a hero is just as dull as one lacking a villain.

A while ago now, renowned rumorsmith, Sad Panda, said we will be getting one of the Loyalist Primarchs in plastic form alongside plastic Magnus the Red. Not necessarily at the same time, but one Loyalist and one Chaos was stated.

Loyalists don't need everything chaos gets guys :/ all we can honestly hope is that loyalists don't get a not needed primarch so us chaos players can continue to boast ours for decent points and amazing rules ruining loyalists lists one day at a time...

OK, I saw the Gaze of Magnus rule.

Does anyone else think it is utterly ridiculous to add Soul Blaze to a strength D beam? What are you lighting on fire, ashes?

Not everything dies from a single Str D attack. However, most of the stuff not killed by a Str D attack isn't going to have much problems from Soul Blaze. I suppose it is just for fun.

It's our faction's signature special rule.

You can't spell "Mortals And Mutants Belonging To Tzeentch" without Soul Blaze

Soul Blaze is a stupid name for the rule, it makes no sense on most weapons with it. It should simply be renamed Burning. It's also extra rolls that are so insignificant you forget about it allot of the time.

Shame relictors weren't there to help fight with all the chaos weapons they have, considering Logan's axe was pivital.

Shame they won't touch on this idea of using chaos against itself. and the relictors will continue to fold into obscurity..

Every story needs a hero.

I'm ready for hulkbuster- I mean Primarchbuster guilliman.

It also means that the Avatar of Khaine is immune to the attack, IIRC.

Yes he is. Bummer for Magnus. Though who uses an AoK anyway?

Magnus has another Str D witchfire without Soul Blaze for the AoK anyway, if it ever comes to that.

I love the soul blaze mechanic, though you are right, it is basically better referred to as "on fire"
It makes it a lot easier to remember if you use markers, like the wall of fire or sphere of fire from Bones. they also make good hull point trackers for vehicles.

My house rules have soulblaze using the profile of whatever fired it.

That is AWESOME!

More on topic, does anyone here know if the other great companies got core formations for the wolves' multiple formation detachment? (Bran Redmaw needs to know...)

Might be Prismatic Gaze from the Tzeentch Daemon Discipline. Assuming they kept most of it that similar.

Good for Knight killing though. Fly to an exposed side and blast it before Ion Shields go up.

That's the power.

It's from Warzone Fenris Part 1: Curse of the Wulfen as part of the updated Change Discipline. I'm not sure if it got reprinted in Part 2: Wrath of Magnus though.

I mean the beam is only 1mm thick. If you fire through an infantry unit there'll be plenty of stuff upright still.

Why on earth do you need D for an avatar?

Just kill it with regular attacks. he ain't that impressive.
