2 Models in 1 Codex, indeed! GW has even described it so, saying "The codex will be mainly fluff" =P

And on fluff, a question:
It seems, and with all descriptions, codex snapshots etc, that they have 1 Noble pilot?

Since the M12 or something when men went to the stars, there's been 1 pilot?

They seem more immortal than the emperor himself!

(Fluff just seems broken)

You're creating a distinction that doesn't exist in the rules. Escalation is an update to 'standard' 40k, not a separate game.

Furthermore, I would be surprised if the alleged 7th edition that is "at the printers" won't include Escalation as standard fare.

I have heard similar, it would not be surprising if that's 1 of the reasons they'll release it...

They mean that the knight has a crew of one, not that the same guy has been in the seat since it was built.

Just looking at the BlackLibrary previews (Here)

"each Freeblade (...) if he chose to reveal his past" and "after many years of relentless warfare, some knights may even have forgotten why they took their first step along the path of the Freeblade."

Just sounds like 1 guy to me =P
Houses, yes, but explain Freeblades... unless it's a father-son thing (and then mother?)... problems, just problems lol

Regarding the Knights... I'd have been happier if they priced it at £20 but oh well....


The limited edition codex is looking mightly NON tempting right now. Its £70 for a thin book and some art prints.

I'm more inclined to buy the Codex/Heraldry book/Novella for a little more and get alot more content (as Im actually interested in the background/paint schemes etc for once)


Also let me get this straight? the codex only has two unit entries? the same ones as in WD??? That sucks a bit I was hoping for a couple more variants!

Indeed it does, however to note: It seems they will have "Pilots" to make up/smooth points and which will probably add WS characteristics or other changes like that (for like 50pts or 75, etc)

And thanks, fav character too =D

I would think that trend is already in motion... or:

How many books do i need to play an Iyanden Reaver?

Although if they do Rulebook V7.0 that includes Escalation & Stronghold, it might begin a trend toward combined books!

Positive thinking!
