yep me too :(

Oh you

This is up for pre order now though as well CLAN RAUKAAN - A CODEX: SPACE MARINES SUPPLEMENT (EBOOK EDITION)

Its up and its... different. Short of it is the codex consists of HQs, Elites and Transports. No Assassins but a wide variety of transports.

You now get the option of an Inquisitorial Detachment (Primary, Secondary and Inquisitorial can all be fielded together. I.e. Marines with Guard with Inquisitors)

So, kind of along the old 3rd edition codex: assassins, as only a supplement?

So slow...

Pre-order it and go to My Account > My Downloads.

All of you people should stop downloading it. You're getting clogged all up in my bandwidths!!

No but really it's super slow.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!



Il just stick to grey knight allies

Arg. I dislike waiting but for some reason my bank hates the BL (I'm guessing because it's an out of country thing) so the iPad is my only option and it's not out yet.

It's pretty meh. I guess the good thing is that any Imperial army can include an Inquisitor as a stand alone allied HQ choice. So rad and psychotroke grenades for everyone!

Having Coteaz as a Battle Brother can provide a good boost to Sisters armies as disgusting as that thought is.

Does it count as your ally slot? Is Coteaz in the new book?

Blob of 20+"I've been Expecting You"?

Coteaz and Karamazov are in the book along with all the other generic Ordo Inquisistors. It looks like a copy/paste job from C:GK. I think it does count as your ally slot. I'll check though.

Nope. An Inquisition detachment is taken "in addition to any other attachments". It's an orgy of allies y'all!

If mine ever finishes downloading, I'll blog it out on here.

It's worth noting that an Inquisition Detachment is limited to 1-2 HQ and 0-3 Elites where Henchmen are Elites. If you take the Inquisition Detachment as your primary you get to count your 0-3 Warbands as scoring units.

Damn, that sucks. So no dedicated transports for us.

So, whats actually inside it? Just the generic Xenos/Malleus/Hereticus Inquisitors, the SCs, henchmen and vehicles? Are there any differences to their versions in the GK codex? What about the relics?

Hmm if thats the case i suppose i could still take GK allies for a single assassin

Oh god karamazov + marbo for the lulz.

Also anything on Cross codex DT?

There's not a whole lot to blog. Althought the Acolytes are an interesting item. If you want to run some Frateris Militia mobs you can take up to 36 of the little buggers for 4pts each and stick a Priest with them.

Priests are the same as they are for Sisters except their bound to their Warband and not independent characters, which is a pretty big deal.

NO, it specifically states you can take SPace Marines, IG as an ally, and Inquistors as a special ally that does not take up a slot.

No new models for the inquisitors? No Lord Inquisitors?

What are the troop options?

The DTs are all the standard Imperial ones. Rhino, Razorback, Chimera, Valkyrie (but not Vendetta), LR, LRC, LRR. You can take one for each Warband.

The Inquisitors look pretty cut and paste from C:GK. I guess the Relics are new. There's one for each Ordo.

Liber Heresius give a special rule if you pass a Ld check each turn (Scouts, Split-Fire, Counter-attack, Fear, Hatred)

Grimoire of True Names gives -5 WS, I, Ld to any Daemon in a challenge with the bearer.

Tome of Vethric gives a special rule based on what kind of Xeno enemy you're facing.

Fluff question: is anything said about the SoB being Chamber Militant to the Hereticus? If not, is the term "Chamber Militant" used anywhere else?

Not Sisters?

So essentially it is exactly what some people warned it would be (i.e. just a HQ book, with transports) except they've separated henchmen to be pseudo-Elites so they can say "see?! It isn't JUST a HQ book!" when in fact that's exactly what it is.

Glad I didn't bother.

Wake me up please if there are new models for the fraternis militia. I'd buy them for Sisters allies if they exist.

"Liber Heresius give a special rule if you pass a Ld check each turn (Scouts)"

How the what?

Also Space marines in Valkyries? lol

The only direct reference to someone being a "Chamber Militant" is to the Deathwatch and Ordo Xenos. They refer generally to "Chambers Militant" in the section on Acolytes. No mention of the ladies other than that the Ordo Hereticus "keeps and eye on them" along with a few other groups.

One question: can Inquisitors finally get an invulnerable save? (Other than 5+ from termie armour.)

The Scouts thing only works before the start of the game and you can only do each ability once.

I'm pretty sure you can't put Marines in an INQ Valkyrie since Allies can't share transports.

Huh, that's really odd. I think of all Imperial organisations, the Hereticus should have very little cause to "keep an eye on" the Sisters.
