I'm just an ork player, so I might be missing something, but do tzangors suck ASS?

They're like boyz, but more expensive, fewer attacks, no furious charge, somehow worse shooting than boyz, in that they have none, other than a S3 pistol for 1PPM, and nothing like mob rule to hold them in combat.


S3 bolt pistol...........?

Tzaangors have +1 I and a 6++.
(Relic Hunters is a fluff-rule, it will very rarely, if ever happen.)

Orc Boyz are 1 point cheaper, have +1 A, +1 S on the charge, a slugga and Mob Rule.

Regular Tzaangors are inferior to Orc Boyz, but there's probably a "fodder-tax" on them, since a cheap fodder-unit is more unique in the Thousand Sons-army, than in the Orc-army.

I'd take Tzaangors over Cultists with Mark of Tzeentch any day though, +1 WS and +1 T for 1 point is well worth it.

There's also a formation for them which gives them some nifty bonuses, but I can't see myself ever using it.
I've ordered 20 Tzaangors, I'll use them as compulsory troops in my TS CAD.

I'm looking at their datasheet, and the only special rule I see is MoT and effectively hatred: enemy relics. No mention of fleet, run and charge, or anything else. They do have higher T than cultists, but that just makes them on par with an ork boy statline with none of the rules that makes boyz even marginally useful (furious charge, 'ere we go, mob rule).

Their formation gives them run and charge. IIRC, it also provides +1S and +1I if you charge more than 9", I don't remember seeing anything about fleet, though.

Well orks can't buff their boyz like Tsons can. That might have been factored in....probably not though.
Never mind that though, isn't it saturday somewhere in the world yet? I need ma leaks XD

Another 7 1/2 hours till GMT 0.

The question I want to know is if we will get leaks straight away or do I get to sleep tonight?

Ok, that's something then, missed that. Still, depending on a 9" charge to get +1S is kind of a long shot. I suspect it would largely come down to buffing the crap out of them with blessings, which could be done, I suppose.

It was said that the reviews would drop as soon as the preorders went up.

I don't know if I can wait that long...

Great, who needs sleep anyway.

You should sleep and dream of the worst, that way when you wake up and it's only moderately bad (or, Emperor forbid, actually decent), you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Guess I'll read my CSM codex before I go to bed then.

Aren't Tzaangors also Fearless?

Edit: Nope, they ain't.

Would have been better if they had used the face with only one eye...

That face has one eye. The other eye is like all scarred.

His armour have more eyes then he does.

The top left face is the one I'm referring to...

His eye-hand coordination seems pretty good.

Im curious to how they painted his wings? I need to know because I'll be buying him here in an hour or so.

Baddum-tish!

I can't wait to hear what world eaters get. They could make for some delicious combos.

It would be sad if TS get a way to make troops move 12" but world eaters dom't.

If everything goes according to predictions, then they will have a maelstrom of gore, except now buffed by a more combat oriented decurion than traitors hate plus a bonus for being world eaters, plus whatever aretfacts they get....and then you can still ally in a TSons character with the jump relic to make them extra angry. And I plan to mix it with Black Legion for a proper Black Legion warband that's made of world eaters that have a bone to pick with marines.
