I've not read it, but it all sounds like a major upheaval. As others have noted, I suspect much of this is work in progress stuff (assuming not fake )

Kind of pissed about Ghazzy. S&P is just horrible for him since he can't run anymore, and the nerf to his Waaagh! just kills him. 225 points that are best left on the shelf now.

Very unlikely it's fake but like the leaked GK book.. its an earlier version I imagine

I love being able to charge people who stumble out of transports

If I run my lovely Shrike Raven Guard list, and infiltrate him with a unit of Assault Marines the he would now have a base movement of 9, increased to an 11 with fleet, which would give the squad a 22 inch charge range turn 1

Lets cut to the chase peeps.
Based on this being legit what models are being pushed sales wise then and whats getting flushed down the toilet?

Any section on psychic powers/changes? (cant view from work).

I'm loving the EV rules, I really hope they keep that. Infantry out in the open are not completely screwed. While a static gun line has penalties.

On first look I can't really think of any units really getting flushed at this time.

Nobz, Paladins. Especially Nobz.

Neither unit is worth its points without wound allocation.

Rules summary

I really, really like the new rules! They look great on a first read through. I hope they are true.

The new infiltrate rule seems pretty weak.

Basically an automatic 1st turn deep strike. So no moving, assaulting, etc...

Jump troops movement reduced to 9 inches seems kind of painful..

Yeah but run movement isnt +d6 anymore either so it balances out

KP is variable now and based on unit cost now (Praise the emperor).

It's almost enough to make me care about 40K again (the game I mean, not the universe... never stopped caring about that).

I don't think the 'bidding' shenanigans is necessary - why not make the SP variable like the KP? A single D6 roll like 1-2: Gain 1 SP for every 1000 points in your army, 3-4: Gain 1 SP for every 500 points in your army, 5-6: Gain 1 SP for every 200 points in your army.

Well if it relates to setting up then it wont be used in tournaments and is entirely optional.

Like the terrain deployment craziness in Fantasy.



Could someone please email the pdf's it to me at saurus.warrior@gmail.com
It would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

These look great so far. I hope they're true.

I think its game testing copy.......It's going to completely level the playing field

And best of all, you get shot at for being too close!

Deepstriking is terrible now. Unless you deploy so far away that you might as well not have deep struck in the first place, you have a very good chance of getting riddled with bullets before you get a chance to actually do anything. Not to mention that you can no longer run to spread your unit out, leaving any unit that even attempts to deploy in such a manner fodder for any template weapon.

Vangaurd squads are now more useless than ever before. It's a shame too, since the Blood Angels book actually made them viable for once Back on the shelf.

Callidus Assassin is also a waste, since she'll also be shot to ribbons the moment she arrives in play.

Ditto for Marbo (he deserves it though).

It's a 1.1k .rar, which is compressed.

Okay, my sm codex is 58mb on my Ipad. That is a standard 144 page book.

The rb will be close to 150 mb by my reckoning. Are you suggesting that they have a 99% compression rate? Because the best you can get is usually less than 45%.

I've mirrored the thing on a couple of websites.
It is now a Zip file to accommodate people with less computer knowledge and also features no password.

Have a good read.

EDIT: If the files go down PM me I will re-upload them.

It's also worth noting that this leak is full text with no images. Most codex scans are entirely images. Images are massive compared to text.

The size of your SM codex is fairly inaccurate. If you simply use optimize your PDF and decrease file size it will be A LOT smaller

For instance, *my* copy of the SM codex is around 3 meg for the same book

Its totally reasonable to have this be 1.1 meg

My Ghostmaker eBook is 0.8 mb and features twice as many pages as your codex, it simply has no pictures.

In conclusion, lrn2format

Ive also mirrored the book on my own box account

Enjoy, and while you're there check out my battle reports!

The internet doesn't forget and taking the original down was pointless.

I think the rate at which links stop working might be a good indication of how legitimate this thing is.

Why, does GW have a direct line to Al Gore, just to be able to shut down sites willy nilly?

Its okay I have the file in my lock box.. I imagine its already on torrent sites

The only thing I'd say I don't like so far is that all characters get Directed Attacks. That strikes me as a little too Herohammer-y.

What about the part where deep strikers can make a Combat or Engage move on the turn they arrive? What about the part that they don't scatter and can be placed in coherency, not clumped up, if they are within 6" of a teleport homer or further than 18" from the enemy?

Interesting to see some ideas from Warpath make it into 40k (the reliance on unit leaders for line of sight and such)

Heh.

Eldrad - Mastery Level 2.
Ahriman - Mastery Level 3.
