I wouldn't jump on the guy for 'cheating' with that. it seems like a pretty common misunderstanding with drop pods.

I don't think anyone was about to jump anyone screaming "CHEATER!" Heck, when I started playing 5th ed coming out of fourth, I thought plasma pistols still shot twice. That was an eye opener. Also why all plasma pistol using models were immediately stripped and replaced with flamers/meltas/combis.

4th ed. Space marine Fear of Darkness was a bit over the top..I've seen 1 libby make a 2/3s tau gunline run off the board several times.

Actually, with all the mech flying around, that power wouldn't even be that effective. Everything not already in a vehicle tends to be fearless!

A Sister of Battle to be my personal masseuse would be nice.

Xenos should also never have a stat above 2, nor should they have anything that can be employed in the shooting phase. Including run.


...I also want the battle sister masseuse.

That would make for a dull game indead.

I'm not specifically against alowing earlier codicies, but it's very situation dependent. If a player is doing it to accomadate some minis they have or use conversions they made in a previous edition or to better represent a specific chapter feel, I'd probably be game. However, if the effect is just to strenghten an army that someone feels is too week, then I wouldn't be as understanding.

Also, as someone who's been in the hobby since early 2nd edition, I would ask, where does it stop? Can we bring back genestealer cults, Squats, Legion of the Damned, etc, etc? Not that I'd be against them, but it is a slippery slope.

Personally I would love to see some revised rules for gene stealer cults, a squat codex, new rules for legion of the damned, they really blow right now.

I miss the old SM codex. I like being able to kit out my squads however I want. GW doesn't like that. I mean just look at SW & GK.

I too, miss the old style books with actual wargear. Ahh, bionics, holy relics, adamantine mantle, auspex what fun stuff they used to have.
