I can't remember a special named character with weapon options, TBH. If theres more than old Lelith, I doubt you had more than 2-3 in the entire game.

Bjorn, at the very least.

Eldard, Karandras, Boss Zagstruk, Urien, current Lelith, Current Drazhar, Abaddon, Huron Blackheart, etc.. there are more, but I got tired of looking.

Those aren't what he was referring to.

They mean weapon options that you pick prior to fielding them in a game. Not extra redundant gear you can choose between.

shalaxi helbane can pick between the whip and shield

Come oooon!!! Just 10 more days. I guess the Codex will be "reviewable" on 20th.

Yeah, Bjørn comes with a whole suite of weapons. Probably because the model he is build on makes swapping them very easy. I think some old dark angels has options of transport or no transports, the flying jet bike. Space Wolf also has Santa sled option.

No real news but its something

That article was much to do about nothing.

Cronos are looking pretty deadly with their whole extra attack...

Lol they try to excite with hellions and chronos. It'll take a miracle to make those good.

Hellions has never been good, always that fun unit lol. Literally for 6 editions, and Cronos at least were good in 7th in the Formation, having a targetable MC as a Lieutenant is kind of a bad idea.

Helions migt never have been good. But Baron Satonyx was hot lava gass!

not to thrilled about needing to buy 2 books if I want to get the most out of cult of strife... on a codex that isn't even out yet. Insulting.

Anybody planning to buy some scourge just to see what the weapon options will have provided they haven't already been shown.

No, not for investigative purposes. I don't own any Scourge, so have been sniffing around ebay for any cheapish options to build.

Really good box IMO.

Archon
10 Kabs
5 Incubi
Raider
Ravager

The only model I don't really like or need is the extra Archon, but it's really kitbashable so, no problem for me.

Yup, I can't knock the box as a good way for someone to start the faction.

IMO its the best Combat Patrol box so far.

If not best certanly one of the best. I comfirms dar eldars as stil being about fast boats, I like that. You can buy 3 and get a good army asuming Icuby and Ravagers are good. And if you do not want 3 ravagers, or any for that matter, you can stil roll to town with 2 raiders. Sweet I'll say.

Is there any remote chance we will be able to add incubi bodyguards to an Archom like a Command Squad?

I want to be wrong about this, but no. Probably not.

That would mean GW understands their own rules or cares about Dark Eldar.

Em... Not bad.

Not bad? YOU MEAN AMAZING.

Seriously this is insanely good, holy Fing Vects slaves its awesome.

For me, every bit of the article is awesome.

But we are in Dakka, I didn't want to be that positive

I think Covens took a hit. Power from Pain no longer offering the FNP equivalent. Because power from pain at turns 1 and 4 basically do nothing for them.

I like the Trueborn!

I had been playing using Poisoned Tongue and liked re-rolling 1s to wound. moving to a 3+ wound roll is basically an equivalent.

P from P changing rerolling charges to advance and charge means the deepstrike charge is less of a move. But in general means that all of the Wych cults get it, which is pretty awesome, adding to the speed of the army.

With the Realspace Raid detachment, thats basically 3 patrol detachments, except the warlord has to be an Archon and the archon gets a bubble that affects any of the troops.

It's not the worst rules I've ever seen

Coven still could keep their rule for better invul. Insensible to Pain rule could be something like "+1 to Inured to Suffering" meaning 5++ turns 1, 2, and 3, and a 4++ turn 4 and 5. Or Coven's Insensible to Pain is always a 5+++. We do not know yet so I wouldnt write them off yet.

Sad they called out hired mercenaries are still a thing with no detachment abilities for them.... hopefully scourges stop being considered mercs and become a kabal unit instead...

Well they are Kabals, lets just hope the rules writers remember the fluff for them

The Codex may be good or bad, but at least we can't say "brainless copypaste" anymore. They put some thought on it and listened, at least a little, to the players.

If bikes and perhaps he lions has a crazy movement then turn 2 eager to flay seems quite good. Charge after advancing..

Also perhaps wytches loose charge after advancing as one of their three traits?
