I like the codex, But I've got confused by something. On the predator profile, it says"Hellcannon". On the summery, it says"hellfire". Was this a typo?

Also, does the Rhino have fire points? Or was that deliberately left out so you had to buy Open-Topped?

Like it. Although I'll never use them, rules are cool.

Their maddened flailing might give them increased strength.

EDIT: Actually, it probably wouldn't since they are dead, but I've just watched 28 days later.

Also, Sorry to re-post, but can you answer my earlier question? Quoted here for reference.

I used this list today, And obviously it's really fluffy.

Lord, jump pack, 2 Lightning claws, mark of slaanesh, Icon of the emperors children, Chaos armour.

FAST ATTACK
6 raptors, melta gun, champion with power fist.

The amount of fire power this list can produce is Quite high, and performs Admirably in combat as well. The lord goes with raptors, and they counter assault anything that gets near noise marines.

1750. I should be playing an eldar player. Today, so I will post how it goes

But, that's a lot of points into a model that can Easily be shot down be lasannons.

You say you used this list already? How did you find it was? The list and Codex, that is...
I imagine you'll do pretty well considering the W/L ratio in your sig!

Whoops, Ment to say I will use it. I'm playing in around half an hour or so.

Also, the reason I win so much is because I play to win, and don't take crappy lists. (Yes, even necrons can win )

EDIT: I'm playing my brother, and he's using eldar. The list is here.

My game went downhill from the start. He had 9 AV12 Vehicles, and with AP- from the blastmasters puts me down. The chosen did fantastical well though, as normal.

ZephyrRey wrote:I don't really agree with the ap- value on sonic weaponry. With they way it works in fluff of any kind, it really should have at least the ap5 that bolters do, especially to justify it as the 'anti horde' cult troop option.
Granted, I know that fluff can't be the biggest thing in codices, that isn't how it works, I'd still like to see some kind of ap value on sonic weaponry, otherwise they get the short end of the stick

Definitely on the blastmaster.

Just Dave wrote:

Judging from feedback then, it does appear that the Sonic Blaster does need a boost.

AP- really lets you down when against guard or orks.

Just Dave wrote:
Does pose a question regarding the Blast Master however, as I'm reluctant for it to be twice as good against vehicles and MeQ's. Chances are it'll be:
- Assault 4 - Str6, AP5
- Heavy 5 - Str6, AP4

I prefer this Blastmaster a lot better. Little bit more mathhammer for you.
V GeQ: Heavy
Sonic blaster: 1.19 dead per sonic blaster.
Blastmaster: 2.78 dead per Blastmaster.
V GeQ: assault
Sonic blaster: 0.59
Blastmaster: 2.22

Correct me if I'm wrong, but what are the changes to the sonic weaponry?

Oh, lol whoops.
I like it a lot, It's improved noise marines by 10 fold.

Yes.

Iandroid wrote:Man. A chaos space marine should not be better and cheaper than a regular space marine. You get leadership 10?? All of them have close combat weapons and bolt pistols and bolters? They are better in every way, it's a little broken. In fact a lot of stuff in here is broken. A dreadnought that ignores a pen every turn??? For 155pts?!?? That's way better than a venerable. Also the dreadnoughts crazed rule has no drawback now. And you've got leadership 10 on like everything. All is dust is waaaay too good too. Same with raptors. Same price as an assault marine with leadership 10 for free. Even two lightening claws are 5 points cheaper. Why? This codex seems intentionally imbalanced.

You say all of that, get on with your rant. When your finished, I'll start.
Compare everything to space wolves. You have your answer. Space wolves are better than codex marines. Codex marines have ATSKNF. Chaos don't. Same with raptors. The dreadnought that ignores a pen? That's 1 pen. Hit it with 3 meltaguns and it'l drop pretty quickly. All is dust is a 5+ invun. Not as good as it is now, obviously.

Praxiss, that looks really cool. Good luck on the bolters!

Praxiss, when was the last time you went down to your LGW?

Not been down there for a while tbh. i feel bad looking at stuff and then leaving without buying anything.

Why do you ask?

You might know the manager, he used to be a trainee at GW norwich.

I will be playing quite a few games with this codex soon, at last. This is what I'll be using.

Look at the "chosen" page.

Since the armour is ancient and of better quality than exarch armour, why not have it confer fell no pain, or a re-roll of the armour save?
