You can change your flag though

True, but why bother?

EDIT: Actually, I know why. Everything about his account is at default settings, he just typed in a name and signed up. Australia is at the top of the list. His post-ranking system is the default. So he could indeed be from GW headquarters.

but most likely he didn't. could work in GW Australia and might have seen the game being played before heading home and posting it there. And thats why he's incomprehensible, I mean he is an Aussie.

And thats the Australian-New Zealand neighborly comment lol

Scratch that what you say about the default settings is probably more valid

IMO i would build them even if the new dex makes them worse. It never hurts to have some spare ones made should anything happen to your exiting models.

I have about 70 lying around the box but so many are old color schemes, first time paint jobs, early hobby, etc, I'd definitely build a ton in preparing for the update as warriors will make a glorious comeback.

Contrary to popular belief, you can strip the paint off old Warriors without breaking them all - some will snap at the legs or arms but not many as long as you don't clean them with bricks! Do it! Leave the sprues in case you can use them for these possible squad leaders.

Given Mr 4-points-for-SB-and-FW Ward is writing the codex, 8 points and some stat drops seems entirely plausable but it does probably mean that the elite and heavy support slots will be expensive! Mind you, if Tomb Spyders stay at roughly the same stats but drop to 40pts I'll be laughing and buying even more! It might make up for the terrible pain that will come with reading the fluff...

I don't think there's enough eye-bleach in the world that could make up for that...

I once did that with my Nids I had from my battle for Macragge box. cleaned them back to plastic.

Tend to agree with others, what was posted originally dosent seem too wacky or broken, assuming of course theres any truth to it.

I hope this Bob is more reliable than the Bob from Bob's Country Bunker.

If this is true, this may tempt me to get a Necron army sooner.

Ummmm. Gauss becomes AP1 on a Pen roll of 6? lovely, assumign that they ALSO still glance on a 6 as well. Otherwise what is the point? AP1 just gives you +1 on the damage tabel right?

But unless it auto-glances then we are still limited to hardly ever gettign a pen hit hit and killign a tank.

The rumour said "Gauss. Same rules but counts as AP1 on a 6 - only on vehicle." I assume this means that it will keep the auto-glance as well, so even a lowly Warrior has a 1/36 chance of wrecking a Land Raider

ObiFett wrote:Orks are BS2, right?

So Necrons would be BS2? eek.

BUT, if they are BS3, with a 3+ save, modified FNP, and a gun that can glance any vehicle with AP1.... So freaking help me, they better lower the cost of my firewarriors. Because then the basic necron warriors would be leagues above FWs and cost 2 points less. I mean, come on...

BS2 would make me fairly unhappy, that would just plain be terrible.

I disbelieve these rumors. Just doesn't feel right, not sure why.

i reckon, A shooty army that can't even shoot would be stupid.

morning, sorry about bad typo's, i do need to be quick on this.
typos happen, its 18 not 8. but includes 'Prime'

they shoot a lot better than ork boys, and 1 in 36 a LR.
(well, 1*squad*=if(rapid)2,1)/72))

TS is 40 base.. come on its clear.


more soon.

Well at least with glancing and AP 1 every necron warrior has a chance to wreck the vehicle, currently the closest thing you could get to killing a tank from glancing is immobilizing it and destroying all of its weapons, that's a lot of glancing 6's you're going to need.

Do they have their WS and BS swapped on a Boy? that would make a lot more sense with WS 2 and BS 4.

Yeah, some bits sound good....the stuff about the Warriors stat line is very worrying though.


I like the Destroyer stuff, actually makes sense.
Wraiths havign PW - finally!!!!

qft

Bob

Would you mind writing out as much of the warrior stat line as you remember as people a fretting about it a lot.

Oh and by the way thanks for clearing up the points cost too. Is there any difference in the stats of the *prime* to a normal warrior?

Bob

If your superiors are watching and you cant post longer comments, then try it from home? Either give us some specifics or dont bother

Any new units apart from the pilon?
(if someone says necromancer ill get my pointy stick)

Maybe not a Necronmancer, but a Cryptek?

Cryptek? whats that

The Metal Tide wrote:Cryptek? whats that

It's in Fall of Damnos, spoilered below:

Just to add on some stuff to scarey nerd's description

Well thanks for the info. Cryptek, I like it. But if what you say is true then how would the fluff fit for being able to field him in battle. if he is indeed

I made it a spoiler just in case so as not to aggravate anyone.

I dunno. This being Dakka, I'm immediately inclined to post some sort of salt-related image macro.

On the other hand, the last time I called shenanigans on a leak that smelled vaguely official like this (tomb stalker), it turned out to be 100% legit. So, I dunno. Nothing here seems to be unreasonable or out of line or just plain wishlisty. So I'm going to just shrug unknowingly instead.

edit: on the other hand, the fact nothing here seems to be ridiculous is suspicious in and of itself, if Mat Ward is indeed raping writing the codex.

I hear you there and i guess that you could write any amount of nonsense to get what you want if you are Matt Ward and are writing the codex

"Ward"... the new four-letter expletive to so many gamers.... the man who seems to be on a crusade to completely feth up the 40k universe, one codex at a time...
