And refuse to love the Spinosaurus because it is a hamfisted attempt at taking what you loved, making it TREX +++ and trying to sell you it.

I don't think it's Dakka policy to give out points values (you can just look it up in the Codex, after all  ). However, looking on Battlescribe, the Captain entry is laid out in a really weird fashion. The top-level entry is the Captain - you can choose Captain or Captain Centos. Choose Captain, and there's a second level - also Captain. That has a checkbox for Warlord and a pair of radio buttons - Power Armour or Terminator Armour.
Why Captain Centos isn't his own army list entry (like Sicarius, for example) escapes me.

Thanks. I would buy the codex, but do I wanna sink £25 into a book that may be invalidated in a few months? I'll wait 'till 8th, but in the meantime thanks again.

True, but free battletomes are only a few months away.

To be fair, 7th did up-end the normal edition schedule.

Maybe, but right now and for the past month they've been everywhere.

Too much.
Terminator armour is not an upgrade, it's a points dump.

I don't break the rules but I'll bend them as far as they'll go. |

It's also the only captain model I have, soooooo...
Unless I were to proxy, which I'm not a fan of.

It's been all over the rumour mills, plus I think confirmation from GW.
I may be wrong, but there is plot advancement, so I'd imagine here'll be a rules shake up of some kind, bettletome or no, once gathering storm is done.

Ok not heard anything about fre AoS style battle tomes. Considering GW are categorically denied that 8th will be anything like a 40k end times I would be surprised if they go for free codecies for everything. I think there is too much out there for that.

GW has not said anything about 8th, whatsoever. You are making assumptions that battle tomes will be replacing codexes, an easy source of income for GW. These are based upon rumors that have no backing to them, the same as every rumor about 8th at this point.
Feel free to go off assumptions, but don't assume your assumptions are actually correct. Even with rumors that have a grain of truth to them, they are almost always incorrect in fairly significant ways until something is about a month out.

If you have the option give him artificer armour and an iron halo instead. But I don't play filthy loyalists so...
|
Please note, for those of you who play Chaos Daemons as a faction the term "Daemon" is potentially offensive. Instead, please play codex "Chaos: Mortally Challenged". Thank you. |

Iron Halo is default Wargear. Thank you GW favouritism of Sphece Merheeeens! haha
@Dakka Wolf - It's only a points dump if it serve no purpose in the game you play. E.g. Dedicated AA units would be a points dump in a game with no flyers. Context Context Context! haha

You can buy an extra model with those points - buy a meatshield.
Ap2 is just too common for Terminator Armour to make back its points.
