6" from the two closest models in the two units. And the if a third unit is there, also take the model of the original unit closest to that.

What do you think about the new look on the Wraiths? It's not too bad, although I think I prefer the old look to the new one. Less robotic and faceless the old ones. Not that I'll not pick up a few when they come out...

I think they look really cool! And with the fluff change they couldn't have stayed looking like necrons.

You have a point there. I can't wait for the 2nd wave!

Come to think of it, I can barely wait for tomorrow!

If any model from the Target unit is within 6" of any model from another unit, that second unit can be hit.

Ok. Looks like Destroyer Lords can have Staffs of Light after all, not just Warscythes.

Jesus... Obyron can get up to 9 warscythe attacks per turn. Thats pretty scary.

This just sounds so ridiculous me. "You're army is assailed by spinning bikes that move like the old pipes screensaver for windows"

So basically, they do a barrel roll?

Yes but all the time, no matter where they fly. Go type do a barrel roll into google.

Someone needs a good photo of the tomblades with the caption "do a barrel roll"

You're welcome.

thank you.

Now we just need annoying background chatter.

"HEY TOMB BLADE, I'M ON YOUR SIDE"
"TOMB BLADE, HELP ME"
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY THAT EASY"
"GO FOR THE 4 HATCHES ON ITS UNDERSIDE"
"DADDY SQUEALED REEEEEEEAL GOOD BEFORE HE DIED"

I know. hopefully there are better pictures in the codex. no insult to you, but i'd rather a better picture, maybe even in color.

"Alright, you know the drill lads, fly in a haphazard, random fashion, and give 'em hell!"

*silence"

"Er..umm...carry on."

Anyone else wish slippy died in a fire?

The paint jobs in the codex are ridiculously awesome.

Fragile as hell.

That (*IF* the 6th edition rumors are accurate) you'll need a 6 to hit with BS4 as long as it's outside of 12". So I'm not gonna judge it too much until next July.

Like the art for the new stuff. Tomb Blades aren't quite what I expected, but they seem to have some nice design synergies with the Barges.

Did anybody else read the batrep and just get floored by Trazyn's just flat-out arrogance? I'm gonna run him SOLELY for that reason.

I'm not sure why, but I think this looks almost like some kind of robotic Tyranid.... Will be waiting for pics of the actual model as I think it might have some conversion potential.

Hey look at that! Same speculation when the Tomb Stalker came out last year. Funny how if something robotic has an insectoid appearance it immediately is labeled a Tyranid look alike...

Possibly because the picture is so similar to the artwork for The Red Terror. There's just slightly fewer teeth

I wasn't saying Tyranid lookalike, just noticed some similarities. As a matter of fact, there is a creature in the Tyranid codex on page 24 called the Catachan Devil that looks like a cross between a Tyranid and a centipede.

It's fluff piece sure, but it would still be an interesting conversion.

I don't know if you are serious about asking people to give you illegal links...

Concerning the Tomb Blades, I'm kind of confused. If they ignore forces such a gravity, why would they ever want to end their movement hovering just above the ground? Why don't they just stay high up in the air and only come down to strike at their foes and immediately get up again?

They do. They are actually spacefighting craft. Designed to be used in 10-100s, the pilots are immune to the effects of vacuum of space. Using them on land battles is an afterthought.

They have fear of heights...

I wasnt asking for illegal links, there are some websites that show books on the internet such as scribd.

Yes you were its illegal to even put up on scribd. Someone as intelligent as yourself probably knows the advanced search tab in google allows you to search for pages only made in the last 24 hrs. If say you needed to find something recent like a news story, this could be helpful.

Looking for an e-book version of the codex (like buying something for a kindle or kobo) is VERY different than asking for a pdf in this context. "Looking for a pdf" implies that you're looking for a stolen copy of the codex.

Guys, even scribd is illegal and violating copyright terms.

I just wish the rules would represent this in any way, but meh, would be kind of imbalanced.

After looking through the codex and seeing the flayed one pics, I realized it has reverse hinged legs. Thinking myself to be crazy, I went to look at the finecasts and the back one does infact have the extra leg parts. Has this come up yet?



Also the new flyers are going to be enormous judging by the pics. You can see the pilot on the doom scythe and he is quite small.
