Not sure if I am allowed to do this, but what would you want the new codex to have? (if there is one)

I personally want to see RJB as troops (or an H.Q. that makes them troops) wyches with hit and run/ furious charge/something that allows them to pick a special rule. hopefully more troop choices (not sure what they could do with it but im excited to see it) and maybe some new stuff on the raiders (although i hope the model doesnt change since I love there vehicles..so pointy)

In the current codex there is 4 Kabal units, Archon/Dracon, Warrior, Scourge and Ravager, not much flavor for them as scourge is just flying warrior (also crap) and Ravager is pimped raider. I'll hope they give them cooler units (and better minis). Some units maybe crap but at least Warp Beasts and Hellions are different from black Torquemadas from Nemesis the Warlock.

Incubi as troops

incubi as troops would be so fun...but if they stay at the same point cost..well very costly.

I was thinking about Incubies as elite with dojo master HQ or something making them scoring. Also Scourges should go to FA and mandrakes should have rending.

mandrakes should have infiltrate, hit and run, scouts. whatever that will make them not suck

Mandrakes can already pop out from anywhere they want, too bad they can't hurt anything.

hm. maybe give them wounding on 2+ or something.

I want to use my Raven in something other than apoc. I think something like this would be great since its not OP, and fills the lack luster FA slot.




Fast attack:


RAVEN
11 / 11 / 10 Pt 120

Fast, simmer

Must purchase 1 weapon from the following list:
Dark Lance 10pt, Disintegrator 10pt, or Twin-linked Splinter Cannon Free

Must purchase 2 of the following weapons:
Blaster 5pt, Shredder 5pt, Splinter cannon Free

Special rules:
The Raven must move flat-out every turn if possible.

Due to its incredible speed, Crew stunned results are reduced to crew shaken.

The raven may fire all weapons at a single target even while traveling flat-out, provided that the target was in the front armor facing of the raven at the beginning of the turn.

...a release date.

that model looks so sexy..and it would help to fill up the slots that my RJB usually fill. speaking of which i hate there model..so hard to put together... -_- anyway back on topic i'd also prefer a permanent cover save on my raiders

Shredder on flyer seems frigging weird, dropping barbed wire from skies. But raven would be cool. They will surely remove lots of wargear in the next codex so maybe we get a few new weapons. Some specialized hand weapons for some units would be nice, not every eldar has shuriken weapons but every shooting DE has a splinter weapon. Maybe more damaging terrorfex variants?

personally i think that we have enough fex's in the game already.. lol. plus i'd probably only use the terror fex the same was i use them already, as horror fex's

i'd like to have a incubi lord or somethin of the sort, since i basically use one (tormentor helm, punisher, combat drugs, shadowfield)

I was thinking about upgrading xenospasm or that obsidian grenade from special character to option for some unit. They have short range tho and it would probably stay as "Oh gak enemy is too close" attack. Maybe give scourges JSJ so they can annoy crap out of infantry with pinning weapons. [/rampant wishlisting]

i like the idea of the scourges, but they still seem like the basic dev's of DE. and just cuz ravagers are so damn powerful......i am hoping for the ability to take them in squadrons of 1-3

The true Striking Scorpion Phoenix Lord to be a character. Give some lighting on his backstory.

yeah i keep hearing about it and i really want some fluff on him. and some rules because he seems like a character that would just rape anything he gets into melee with. is there ANYTHING known about him?

Not really, his allegiance shift was hinted by GW and Eldar codex. Eldar codex entry is very very vague tho, according to it he might as well be Daemon Prince and same vagueness applies to everything in DE fluff (and there is very little of it anyways). They might ass pull horrors undreamed of and if Matt Ward was writing the codex it wouldn't contradict anything to put Vanguard and Sternguard in it.

No really, I'd like a release date for the DE Codex!

Maybe you should think it same way as Linus does about The Great Pumpkin: "It will come this year" as doubting it will make it not appear to you.

I'd like a release date for the codex too. However the release date isnt in the new codex. so quit asking?

UH OH!

I heard they will be able to deepstrike Talos

meh? talos deepstriking really doesnt sound that powerful to me.

Considering that the best way to use Talos is to portal it (damn that slow bugger) it wouldn't be that far fetched. I'm more afraid that they remove the fragility of de with tons of armor saves. Few 5+ invus or improved cover saves would be ok but I wouldn't like to see av 14 ravagers save Vect.

I just hope they keep our raiders/ravagers at fast, opentopped and skimmers, otherwise i'll be sad :(

How about a copywrite date....thats in the Codex, and I'd like to see one.

Copywright 2001.


Its most likely been done since then...
