I know the majority of information has been detailed already, but I have some other questions.

*I'm assuming we'll still be able to use all current allied units?

*Do Plasma Tanks really not have to suffer from the weapons "Getting Hot?"

*In the current codex, I'm able to upgrade an entire unit of troops with CA for +20pts, and since there are no longer Doctrines, is that still possible? If not, what are some ways I could work around it?

*How exactly does Capt. Chenkov work? (basically, scatter dice or not? I'm pretty sure not, but a recent debate has me questioning)

*For Nork Dedog, are his X-auto hits based on a D6? and does he get a "Get-Out-Of-Dead-For-Free Card?"

*Is Master of Ordnance a single/entire HQ choice, or does he have to be included in an HQ?

*And say I take all my current soldiers (approx. 50) and turn them into Conscripts, merged all together with Capt. Chenkov, counting as 1 KP, would I be able to grab a squad of Grey Knight Marines and count them as my second troop choice for the chart? or is it strictly 2 minimum units of IG?

(Sorry if some of these questions have been asked before, I couldn't find any answers through search)

let me give you the message i got the last time i tried to ask a guard question just before it got locked.

[mod voice on] "go read the 50 something page post along with the 2 other 20 something page posts, you dont need your own thread" [/mod voice off]

Good Frazz impersonation!

It probably doesn't help that these questions are slowed though. He was a goner no matter where he posted.

Yes!!!

Anytime Jordi comes out I laugh for like 2 minutes

Hahahaha, That is awesome.

*I'm assuming we'll still be able to use all current allied units?
- Dunno

*Do Plasma Tanks really not have to suffer from the weapons "Getting Hot?"
- NEVER

*In the current codex, I'm able to upgrade an entire unit of troops with CA for +20pts, and since there are no longer Doctrines, is that still possible? If not, what are some ways I could work around it?
- Veterans get certain upgrades, the rest can either get a Chimera and that's it

*How exactly does Capt. Chenkov work? (basically, scatter dice or not? I'm pretty sure not, but a recent debate has me questioning)
- He replaces the platoon commander and can give orders of his own

*For Nork Dedog, are his X-auto hits based on a D6? and does he get a "Get-Out-Of-Dead-For-Free Card?"
- When he dies he makes D6 attacks that auto-hit

*Is Master of Ordnance a single/entire HQ choice, or does he have to be included in an HQ?
- He is an advisor, not a HQ choice

*And say I take all my current soldiers (approx. 50) and turn them into Conscripts, merged all together with Capt. Chenkov, counting as 1 KP, would I be able to grab a squad of Grey Knight Marines and count them as my second troop choice for the chart? or is it strictly 2 minimum units of IG?
- No.

Oh and to fit in with the cool crowd: in before the lock.

Brook is SO cool.

NO WAY, I'm a poser compared to you padres. I WISH I was as cool as you guys.

*Wayne's World voice* No you don't! I LOVE YOU, man!

Why would this thread be locked? I mean, unless you've been keeping up with the IG Rumors thread (all 54 pages of it...) you can be a little out of the loop. And anyway, this is just a few easily-answered questions instead of making someone go and interrupt the discussion going on in the IG Codex thread with off-topic questions.

-A.

I've answered to the best of my knowledge and I agree, I don't like the other thread anymore, too high brow and low brow. Plus some of the discussion in the other thread gets recycled every dozen pages, ad nauseum.

How would these questions be off topic ina thread about the IG codex? Thanks for playing.

Also, is this news? Or a rumor? No, these are questions. You probably want to post them in a thread where people are discussing the new IG cod-... Wait a minute!

Also, some of these aren't even related TO the IG codex or make sense.

*Do Plasma Tanks really not have to suffer from the weapons "Getting Hot?"

Nope, and this is only true for all "Gets hot!" weaponry and is in fact in the description of "Gets hot!"

*How exactly does Capt. Chenkov work? (basically, scatter dice or not? I'm pretty sure not, but a recent debate has me questioning)

WTF? A scatter... huh?

*For Nork Dedog... ...does he get a "Get-Out-Of-Dead-For-Free Card?"

Once again, WTF?

*And say I take all my current soldiers (approx. 50) and turn them into Conscripts, merged all together with Capt. Chenkov, counting as 1 KP, would I be able to grab a squad of Grey Knight Marines and count them as my second troop choice for the chart? or is it strictly 2 minimum units of IG?

Seriously, after this one, I thought this might be a prank.

Thank you BrookM =]

Not to mention the long line of people already bitching about how the Guard are still going to suck.

Ahem....

"In before the (supposed) LOCK!"

In return, tell me of this Amy. Is she a ginger?

Thanks for the blunt answer lol

*How exactly does Capt. Chenkov work? (basically, scatter dice or not? I'm pretty sure not, but a recent debate has me questioning)

I was at a recent tourny and was talking about it, and the other person said the might scatter off the table edge or something(I wtf'd as well)

*For Nork Dedog... ...does he get a "Get-Out-Of-Dead-For-Free Card?"

Once again, WTF?

vvvvvv

This was a stupid question, yes, but figured I might as well ask(since grey knights are soo expensive) I'll just cut down on squads in the plat's.

@BrookM, it's an inside joke lol

good question but ive had one personally get locked and seen two others get locked with the justification of theres already a thread on this, go read it even if it is 50 pages long and choked full of pages of pages on how powerful the vendetta is versus the valkyrie and pages upon pages of how stupid rule X is and how great rule Y is.

of course that was how i read the reason for the lock but mostly just the first part was said...

Or we could just let it die without the mods having to enact exterminatus...

IB4L.

Hell no! I have been wondering though, Valkyrie or Vendetta?

And if I put up an army list in here, could someone please shout me down about how bad it is? Thanks.

Where's the fun in that? People shout "IB4L" so sell those tickets, get the mods to load that shotgun 'cause Old Yeller needs to be put down.

I'll save you the time. It's just terrible.

Thanks buddy.

In before the non existant lock. I predict that this thread will die a quiet death!

i'm such a joiner. in before lock as well.
and ph34r is right, it is a terrible list. you should be ashamed.

Your mom's a terrible list!

my mom's dead.

That's the worst list ever, then!
