Maybe it is a matter of "marketing"... but it isn't "strategy" to listen to your customers after years of ignoring them.

So is it possible to have the few lucky members of dakka dakka that did get a copy, post the sisters info?

Same old dilemma:

Good: WD actually became useful again after a long dead zone. Lots of cool stuff in side that people can use.

Bad: It sold out. People who didn't get a copy are out of luck; instant "have" vs "have not" problem for the game(s).

The sisters rumors thread has accurate info for the most part, sept Seraphim are INT 3, not 5

Do you know off hand which page the rules and point costs are on?

1. The points costs aren't until next month's issue. It's a 2 part article.

2. They wouldn't be posted, as that's against Dakka rules.

Apologies, I meant special rules and stats lines.

Anyone else notice the Warhammer FAQ they slipped into this months WD on pg 15?

It amends the Power Scroll arcane item. The Power Scroll will now half the casting value of a spell instead of causing a spell to be cast with irrestible force on any double. It's labeled offical, yet it is not currently in the Warhammer FAQ on GW's website.

If a MOD thinks it best, please feel free to remove this post. Especially if I'm gonna have GW branded assassins bursting through my door any time soon...

Terrorgeist: points around midway between a Hydra and a Treeman; a little closer to the Hydra

M - 6
WS - 3
BS - 0
S - 5
T - 6
W - 6
I - 3
A - 4
LD - 4

Special rules - Death Shriek, Fly, Large target, Regenerate 6+, Terror, Undead

Death Shriek = special attack for shooting phase. Can beu sed if marched, charged, or in cc. 8" range, need los. If in cc may target unit in base contact.

Roll 2d6 and add number of remaining wounds. For each point that exceeds targets ld, target suffers 1 wound with no armour save allowed. Magical attack and wounds suffered are distributed as shooting.

Options - infested x pts / rancid maw more pts

Infested = bats explode from tg when slain. When removed as casualty all units in base contact take 3d6 s2 hits.
Rancid maw = poisoned attacks, excluding thunder stomp.

Monster that is a rare choice in VC army or can be taken as mount for a Ghoul King (Vampire lord with ghoulkin vamp power)


SoB info coming soon, may take me a while to get it typed up. That or I'll have taken a bullet in the head from gw assassins. Maybe a MoD if I've broken dakka law...

It's nice that you're doing that Kitch, but Dakka kind of frowns upon just outright posting statlines, points costs, etc.

It's better to err on the side of caution and whatnot.

But good to know that the Terrorgeist is pretty neat. Infested rule is fantastic.

With previous releases, the rules were made available as free .pdf dowloads on the GW website shortly after the white dwarf releases.

SoB stuff;

Faith points

- generate d6 points at start of movement phase for each turn. Does not carry over

Acts of faith

- Attempted immediately before unit acts in a phase (movement, shooting or assault). To use, roll d6 and add the following:

+1 if led by at least 1 of following
Sister Superior / Retributor Superior / Dominion Superior / Seraphim Superior / Celestian Superior / Mistress of Repentance

+1 if unit has been joined by at least 1 of following
Canoness / Ecclesiarchal Confessor / Saint Celestine / Uriah Jacobus / Arch Confessor Kyrinov

+1 if unit has taken at least 1 casualty

If total less than 5, act of faith fails. Faith point is lost and nothing happens.


Shield of faith - special rule that gives 6+ inv save

Fair play Kanluwen - still a bit of a Dakka noob here, and as I say I have no problem if a mod wants to delete the posts (as long as I dont get kicked out!). I'll leave them up for now though if needs be, we can take 'em down.

Lose at the end of YOUR turn, so you cannot use Acts of Faith on the enemy's turn.

What!?

That's AWESOME! The most broken arcane item in the book, finally fixed... if only they'd do this more!

Uhhhhhh putting all those photos here is against the posting guidelines.

Which you should have known because you read the guidelines before you posted right?

Right?

What guidelines? My internet connection dies about 3 times an hour here (damn you sky broadband) so i typically just try to do what I want to do as quick as possible, haven't seen the guidelines

Fair play. I dislike someone's personal tastes for games to be used as an insult, so I get a bit uptight about the "fanboy" calling.

Yet you started it by the claim "you have a history of GW hate", after I made a joke and left a smiley to show it. So when you say that, it rings hollow when you start it.

Cool it please, guys. No more personal remarks this thread.

You can artificially create a situation to achieve the desired effect. You can easily achieve "sell out status be reducing the quantity of product that they normally ship to their sites.

I'm skeptical with the sell out action at the GW stores due to their past corporate business practices.

I was actually tempted to post something like that as well until having seen you went there first. Kudos.

The world would be such a bleak place if we would not have irony and sarcasm to dull the pain.

I didnt notice this till you said it. Hopefully this is FAQed.

So does anyone think they will print additional copies of the WD, given the success of this month's issue. (Or is that darn wishful thinking of mine?) LOL

I think the sell out is a matter of demand... this months had a good amount of stuff in it and the FLGS around me had for sale many more copies than they usually do and sold more than they usually do. Whether its a true sell out, a manufacturers sell out, or even just a regional sell out... the point is its selling better than normal. I think GW just printed the same number of issues they normally do, but that FLGS' increased demand pulled supply from their stores. If GW were going to pull shenanigans and create an artificial sell out they'd have done it before.

GW US has WD #280 as "No Longer Available".

I would hope so, it came out more than 8 years ago.

Yeah. That was me mistyping and thinking of Forge World's newsletter which I had up in another tab.

I never knew WD is printed in poland LOL

Anyway, i don't know why US is sold out because here in the UK, we have lots.

the first few release days only had like 2 but the next week our GW got lots new WDs

Maybe they are just slow at shipping it to america

I don't know in GW store, but there is still a lot of WD in newspaper stand, in France.

As it was already say, if these issues of WD sell well, I hope it means that more interesting content will appear...

I hope to Druss that it does, I was flipping through some really old WDs a while ago and was reminded how good it used to be.....actual rules everywhere *sigh*
