Initiates in a marine dex? Codex meatshields that will be..

Rage? And fnp and ....
The move from codex specific rules to USR is not a secret. Just maybe more than the few USR would be nice to differ the codices a bit.

Super champignon and knight rider.

The greatest EmperorsChampion was the founder of the BlackTemplars but I doubt he returns.
OTOH welcome back former 1st captain of the ImperialFists Space Marine Legion.

The theme of knights taken to far - knights riding on "iron steeds" in a lance formation and poking the Emperors enemys with their extra pointy extra long sticks of knightlyhood.

I'd like a redone plastic bike tough.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, here.

Initiates and Neophytes are in the current Black Templar Codex.

Neophytes wear scout armor (basically). Initiates are Black Templar Space Marines. They form up the current Crusader Squads. You can do 20 man squad (10 of each).

I am getting at : More emphasis, horde, lots of large units. .

So lots of 4+ meatshields.
Not as many as common now, MORE.

But certainly I got the "initiates" mixed with something completly different.
Forgot the changing effect of localized codices, Sorry.

That's boring. He first kills an Avatar by plunging his sword in its chest through its fiery heart. Then he kills the second avatar by breaking its back since he used it as a makeshift anvil to reforge his sword as it was still hot from the first avatar. The third avatar is an easy kill since he's now wielding a super-sword.

8000 points of XI Legion the Space Vagabonds, they can adapt their tactics to represent any and every Legion and Chapter as needed because they were created by the Emperor to be the ultimate tactical power. They have faked their disappearance in order to infiltrate every part of the conflicts in the galaxy.

8000 points of Tau/Craftworld Eldar/Necron because the Space Vagabonds can also emulate their wargear and tactics.

Victories: ALL
Losses: NONE (My armies have the psychic ability to conjure a cataclysmic storm whenever they are about to lose. This allows the Space Vagabonds to teleport away while releasing power waves that destroys the battlefield and so every battle is a victory)

Yes, but it's somewhat more believable a Primarch doing it than a bog standard marine. And for your information, there are energy lines running through Avatars and chakra points, same as any other 'living' being

Nottingham (yay!)

Speaking as a Xeno player, I'm all in favour of seeing more variety amongst the canned food. It's only the power creep that really ruins it for me - I've had my DA regular gaming partner leave the hobby when the pre-3++SS chapters were waiting to get FAQ'd. If there were one thing I'd like to see, it's for at least a third of Marine codexes to be for a Traitor legion. At the very least, Iron Warriors could easily carry off a dedicated dex with all Mechanicus equivalents in there (and I suppose an obligatory plastic MC Obliterator) as a 'spearhead' release to regain the late 3E Chaos dex's best part.

BT a playable race in the upcoming Dark Millenium MMO. Might make sense if 6th is released around the same time they start hyping or release the MMO. . .

Hmm.. three releases last year, so unless one release was a half-marine dex, you mathematically cannot be right. We had tyranids (xenos), then BA, then DE (xenos). Looks like 2/3 xenos to me as far as codices go...

If you mean in the last 12 mos (april to april), then sure 50/50, but does that surprise yo with GW's xeno-> marine->xeno->marine pattern?

Gwar: I'm going to quit while I can.

you mean SM, non SM, SM pattern.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.

Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

Clearly this will be Matt Ward's contribution to the Codex.

What's the bet he takes down at least three Avatars, the second two after breaking his sword in the chest of the first?


Not quite. In fact the rumor is that the Emperor's Champion is a powerful psyker, and psionicly carved his name on Uldrad's soul.

Good news. This is the best time in the hobby. Full of promise. GW lets us down each time and we know it but secretly we're hoping that this is the edition that GW gives us a balanced game that can also be played competitively at tournaments. I'm loving it.
