Oh sure, it could happen if it's enough of a moral threat, but not always.

Makes sense that they don't get rhinos...they really don't use them...and with night fight shrouds and rending...who needs them...I will stand 24" away and let my opponent only be able to see me half the time...and then if they get close enough...I have some of the greatest close combat troops in the entire game...who have rending!

The nightfight/rend combo is sick nasty fun and screw rhinos because they make the game boring...and the vehicals aren't good enough for Knights...Go big or go home.

LR variant or StormRaven.

I am bored with fluff debates...let's talk about codex content!

Yes.

It's not in WD but Dark Eldar are the next codex.

And they are out sooner than people think (ie b4 Xmas).

What kind of psychic powers do people forsee for justicars?

Any guesses as to whether henchmen/retinues will be mandatory for HQ-level inquisitors/inquisitor lords?

Though I may be alone, I'm hoping that stipulation quietly goes the way of the dinosaurs. Optional retinues/henchmen would be great, but making them mandatory? Please.

Would be cool if you could give them death cult retinues...mandatory is a bit ridiculous...it's not like an Inquisitor can't choose to go without one.

And it makes gameplay better...I usually stick an Evicserator Inquisitor in with my squads of Knights.

An anti-tank one of some kind.


What's cooler than ripping apart tanks with giant glaives?

Ripping apart tanks with your MIND.

So then Grey Knights are Loyalist Tzeench Marines?

Grey Knights are all psykers. That does not make them Tzeenchian.

One of the main faults of a GK army is their lack of anti-tank. An anti-tank psychic power would be perfect for this kind of thing.

*sigh*

It was a Joke because the Tzeentch unique power is Bolt of Change, an Anti-tank psy-power able to be taken by TSons unit leader Sorcs.

True...Hammerhand on all Justicars?

Or Squads have access to THs and Justicars somehow weaken leadership or other stats of surrounding units?

I was thinking more like: "psychic chooting attack, causes an automatic glancing hit. On a to-hit roll of 5+ (or six?), it instead causes an automatic penetrating hit."

Better be an expensive power...or have restrictions to using it...like semi limited range or a necessary number of troops in the squad to use it...or a strength equal to the number of troops in the squad...that would make sense.

ductvader wrote:or a strength equal to the number of troops in the squad...that would make sense.

I'd think this one's the most likely, considering the powers for the PBS.

Mhmm...and seeing as the squad's powers are channeled through the Justicar...if the squad is smaller it makes sense.

Maybe there will be an upgrade to the unit that the channels the power instead of the Justicar?

It's not in WD but Dark Eldar are the next codex.

Old GK and WH rules will defo be available online according to spearhead WD. Thanks for the update btw.

No one KNOWS what the next codex is...but we're talking about Daemonhunters in this thread...

I don't think it's so much that they can't choose to go without a retinue... more like they wouldn't choose to go without one. An Inquisitor starts building up his network of agents from very early in his career and can, by the time they reach Lord level, have hundreds scattered across the region of space he works within. No self respecting Inquisitor is going to go and face the enemy without at least some of his retinue in tow. Adding other options or more flexibility into the retinue on the other hand would be great.

And "they" is Grey Knights?

Hundreds of contacts/servants is pretty light. Once you get to Inquisitor Lord status, you might as well have a subsector in your pocket.

Reds8n just said Dark Eldar were next like 7 posts above you.

Pretty sure that Fateweaver is talking about DE, since he replied to reds8n's statement of DE being next. Pretty sure we can forget about GK in 2010 at this point.

I'm not sure of that. If DE come in aug or sept, then there's still three months for Grey Knights to come in.

Melissia wrote:I'm not sure of that. If DE come in aug or sept, then there's still three months for Grey Knights to come in.

I'd bet that October is the soonest month for DE, if only because I have a feeling September will either be a LotR month or(more likely) Fantasy 8th Box set month.

Mn, maybe. Let's hope for the best.

Reds8n and MadCowCrazy confirmed that the 3rd edition rules for both DH and WH will be available for free in PDF format soon. At this point thinking that GK are coming in 2010 is pure delusion, sadly. Let's hope that January will be kinder.

They already are, dled them from the gw-page just a few days ago.

edit: just realized, they were available few days ago but seem to be taken of
the gw-page again ... o.O so ... new Codex?

Ooh, where at? I couldn't find them on GW US. I'm quite curious to read the WH codex.
