He's in the chaos hq. Just like he has always been.

Dang. I play fallen, was finally hoping I would get my Cypher :(

Anyone know if a RW vet sarge can take LC or SS?

Did cypher make it into the codex?

Mentioned here and there in fluff. Nothing else. Overall the fluff, like the Chaos dex, doesn't contain anything new that's not a minor battle/blurb. After GK/Necrons, I think GW has had enough with screwing with the setting.

Can't buy SS from the list each vet sarge has access to, its just not there. The DA got a few other toys to add invul saves..

So Belial is now 60 pts more expensive than he was?

Yes sir, gained ws6, on target ds, sword is worth taking fleshbane powerweapon (though for all those like myself that converted th/ss Belial free switch out for that or lc), has precision shot on 5+, iron halo for those that keep sword.

Yes

And for those that like cypher like myself, I think a company master dualwielding pistols, with one of those special armory weapons, and a displacer field, 3++ when you make a save off of it, you scatter like a droppod d6 (gives the disappearing into air feeling)

As a Dark angel player since 4th I am elated with this codex, I don't get the test subject feeling anymore, and I can't wait to play in a tourney in about 8 hours with my deathwing

A quick, slightly off topic question...

I heard there was a special rule in 40k that covered characters dual wielding pistols... it is true?

You mean like being able to shoot both?

Yes, and it applies to anyone with two pistols. Not just characters.

Yeah, thats the one. Where is the rule?

I tried using it in game but got told it didn't exist.

Called Gunslinger, don't remember where it is, no rulebook at hand right now.

Cheers dude... I'll look in the mini rulebook.

Back on topic...

A fellow DA player is telling me that Tac Squads can have two heavy weapons at 10 strong.

Should I have him eviscerated as a heretic or praised as a hero?

Eviscerate

Tacs:

less than 10 models = 1 special or 1 heavy
10 models = 1 special and 1 heavy

Surprised no one has asked about the special wargear like the combi-plasma cannon for 20 pts

Yup in 2 hours need to build a box of knights and make a competent list outta that dex

What the hell? One hit plasma cannon - could be useful in the right situation.

Combo plasma CANNON! What the hell is big enough to have an under slung cannon on it?

That would be the lions roar.
Master crafted too.

I can't wait to utilize the congaline of bikes with salvo banner to throw out a stupid number of twinlinked Bolter shots

So this salvo banner... it is one use only, righ?

All legal but one and a few got better. The only one that I think was not legal is the Champion as he has a special weapon.

How so? I didn't give the champion any special weapons, he's with what the Champion was said to have standard, a sword and a combat shield. Unless I'm missing something?

Whenever it is unfurled on the field of battle, its benefits are granted for the whole game like you never run out of standard ammo.
Why would a standart or banner be one use only?

No its constant, costs 65 if memory serves, theirs a counter attack one for in 12 for around 40, and a fnp one in 12 for 85 or so

Depends on the unit champion you get, the Deathwing one is +5 pts for +2 str, ap2, strikes at int and the champ is ws5 pretty beastly

What about the Plasma Weapon on Attack Bikes?

Isn't one, at least not for the AB you add to a RW squad.

It's not on attack bikes, black knights come with the plasma talons standard, I'm not certain if regular ravenwing can have them I don't believe so
