Lol they patched Haarken to make him worse. He only works for Black legion Raptors now.

Woo Flesh Hound Burning Roar is now D6 attacks instead of 1 attack. Hopefully this translates over to AoS because I usually didn't bother even using it before. Now it can actually do some damage.

I predict after 49 days they release a special version of guilliman smooshing him under his big buzz lightyear boot, to keep in line with the tradition of instantly murderizing any new non-imperial characters introduced (e.g. the named Death Jester from Death Masque who didn't survive the book accompanying the game box, the Genestealer Cult leaders who didn't survive the book accompanying DW:O, the Tau Ethereal from the Tau Vs Raven Guard box...)

Then just shrug and re-release him as a generic chaos lord with jump pack and power lance.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Thank goodness! They advertised him as working with all Raptors, so that should be reflected in his rules.

Only GW would release a FAQ for their FAQ.

Only thing that surprises me is that they didn't charge us for it.

Since everyone got angry and it worked, you think we can do the same thing for giving his Spear a frickin melee profile???

Well, since we currently have no idea how effective his spear is in melee, there's no way to compare them and decide which is better.

With 95% certainty it would just follow rules for power spear/lance, seeing Shakespeare's equally fancy claw is just, well, claw. And claws are pretty much always better than any power weapon lighter than a fist, which is probably the reason why the spear didn't get rules, no one would use it anyway...

I dislike the model of Harrken. However, I fully intend to create a 'counts as' now that he works with any and all Raptors.

Mob Rule is not a rule.

I would rather he had a pistol or something than the stupid, worthless, spear. Honestly, it is essentially a weird Grav Pistol type thing anyway. Heck, just find a very cool looking pistol and call it good. Most of the rest of him is fine, the spear is just stupid both in rules and appearance.

The Spear has a DD3 profile, which makes it a lot better vs models with multiple wounds.

A wannabe Relic Blade and a Lightning Claw, then his special rules (to affect Raptors) would make him less bad.

Did GW just make a rules change in response to fan demand in real time??

No, they reversed a stupid change to Nerf a character for no reason while ignoring the actual demand. In reality absolutely nothing changed.

Hold your horses, there, Chief... We can't go around making Chaos characters useful or anything crazy like that...

Nope, its too late, now Haarken makes Raptors re-roll successful rolls to hit. He's so spooky even Raptors can't focus when he's around them. Wow!

I am planning to sig this later because this is already the post of the year for me.
