Any chance for a more in depth tutorial? Maybe add screen shots? Pretend we are 55 and just bought our first computer

lol that's a lot like work. Maybe on Monday. I've got some playing to do.

To convert... I literally just used: http://www.zamzar.com and it came out beautifully. High-rez and everything I could want. I duplicated the pdf and trimmed out everything but the reference pages and am good to go. One full-sized, 208 page codex, and one 10 page reference file to print and laminate.

Highly recommended!

Sounds like some of my favorites got hit with the nerf bat. Nice that Rets can take a bloody transport now though! Saves me load'em turn one. Be good if we had something they could actually assault out of though.

I suppose it's time to start digging up models that can be used as female priests. And DCA. Lots and lots and lots of DCA.

Immolate still useless.

They were fine before - now they are better

Can't open my download :( need to find something to open it

So just want to throw this out there, I finished fixing up my excel sheet, haven't double checked it but using a list I fielded last night and not upgrading to Veterans my list dropped by 58 points. If I did upgrade everyone to Veterans Army cost went down by 8 points.

My list for those interested.

Been looking at it for a bit and i'm confused at some of the changes. for instance

Penitent engines were nerfed! I don't get that one at all!

Celestine's nerf was expected I guess, but its kinda strange on that one as well. Uriah looks amazing now.

Well just skim read and its full of changes - certianly not a WD reprint!

Is it just me or can we have truely huge amounts of meltaguns with pretty much all squads being able to have them in 5 woman units!?

More melta than you can shake a squig at.

I didn't notice that at first b/c I've never used them, but looking at it again, you're right. Penitents are noticeably worse than they used to be.

Can someone please recommend a good Epub reader?

Having a real swine of a time reading it.

So going through the list i'd say

BSS - upgraded, ashame they're still the only troop choice but I guess I wasn't expecting much

Fast
Seraphim were nerfed some due to the change in faith system.

Dominion - upgrade by a long shot. I see these as the biggest upgrade

Heavy
Exorcists -- about the same
Rets -- heavy bolter version is nerfed, but the heavy flamer version has been upgraded
Pen engines -- nerfed, but noone will notice because noone used them anyway

Special
celestians -- upgrade, but i'm not sure its enough for my tastes
Repentia -- upgrade, better faith ability and better due to transports

others
the priests were upgraded but still are independent characters, so you'll be giving up on any game with kill points if you use them
- conclaves were nerfed because 'power weapon' was changed to 'power sword'
- cannoness was sorta upgraded by default, she's cheap and is useful when she dies
-St Celestine -- nerfed, now limited in usefulness. I'm not sure what i'll do against MC's now but I guess she's better at killing SM's
-Uriah -- greatly upgraded. He'll be my go-to-guy now
-command squads -- actually don't look too bad at first glance

-rhinos -- nerf due to more expensive
-immolators -- upgraded, significantly cheaper. will be using them MUCH more now

We'll see if the upsides balance out the nerf bat. I'm

holy crap faith just got worse...
"Unless stated otherwise, a unit can only attempt to use an Act of Faith once per game and a unit cannot attempt to use more than one Act of Faith in the same phase."

Uh... Did I miss something? I thought for sure the iBooks version was listed at $32.99 like the ebook version. But now it's $39.99!?!??!? That *really* sticks in my craw. GW, you're really treading on thin ice there...

Valete,

So someone on the fansite for GW Facebook page is saying Immolator's can only snapshot if they move at all. I'm having a hard time believing this, I would think it would be the same as any other tank, full BS at combat speed and snapshots at cruising speed. I pre-ordered digital edition so I have to wait until midnight to read for myself. Can anyone please confirm or deny this?

You get two per game if you have a Standard................and theres some other stuff to finese this a bit

@ Spidie its ready now Immolator, can't see anything that marks it as not the same as a normal vehicle - now with free upgrade to multimelta and searchlight...........

immolators can fire normally, no reason that I can see that it changed

So seems like reactions are mixed, but on the whole, people are mostly happy with what we got? That's the impression I'm getting. I'm pretty happy with it, but I'm probably not as discriminating as some of you.

What I'm really eager to see is some battle reports with this.

iBooks version was always more expensive than the ebook version in UK currency. Sure you're not remembering it wrong?

Right now, Sisters kick the crap out of a lot of meta lists.

Wraithknights and Riptides? Good luck with that. My ignores cover scouts and exorcists ahve something to say.
Screamerstar and Jetseers? Yeah, so I have a 10 point piece of wargear that kills your unit.

It's delicious.

on my itunes it still just shows as Pre-ordered, available Oct 19th. Won't let me download it yet.

BTW I found these as a fairly cheap Priest substitute as they seem to be all the rage now. http://www.miniaturemarket.com/pip32087.html

Bye bye jetSeers & ScreamerCouncils

synergy of this codex with guard is going to be really fun. fearless IG blob with hit and run, and reroll armor saves.

Sooooo much this... ^


Uriah + a couple priests with eviscerators and Litanies in a guard blob is stupid. Just insane... going to move this over to the Tatica thread.

Things have certainly changed, but the sky is far from falling

Ughhh why is the layout so horrible :(
