So are those Skitarii conversion kits ever going to come back?

They're still in the store - Peltasts & Hoplites, although I can't find what section they're listed under.

How long have previous FAQ taken to release, such as the Codex Heretic Astartes FAQ that I believe doubled the power of Obliterators? That is now the next thing I am eagerly awaiting.

A week, at least - "It’s been a week since the release of Codex: Chaos Space Marines and Codex: Grey Knights" "Codex: Space Marines has been out for more than a week now"

As said, about a week.

Though that FAQ did not change Obliterators. The Codex itself already doubled the number of shots they had vs the Index. A stratagem in said Codex further amplified their abilities on top of that.

My bad, I should not get my hopes up too much then.

Didn't you say something about Reece telling it will be adressed?

I sure hope Ryza doesn't stay with re-roll wounds of 1 in fight phase.

More specifically my friend told me that at some point during the Rumors & Whining Stage of information reveal that Reece said to have patience that all was not yet revealed. Unclear if that meant we just needed to wait to see the full book, or if we needed to wait to see the FAQ, because the exact timing of whenever he said that would make all the difference there.

He's probably just going off the statement that was made a bit ago about AdMech, Space Marines, and Tau codices being what was waited on to see general release before Fires would be released.

I sincerely doubt there is any specific information. Just consider it to be in a state of "Soon-ish" and be done with it.

AdMech, Tau and IG. After that, allegedly based on hearsay from the last FW event.

I think that will work fairly well once Cyraxus is out. More melee options, two transports, and the plasma stratagem with a Thanatar should be fun.

It was Marines, not IG.

Red Scorpions are present.

I swear I heard IG, as the Marine Dex was out when I heard said rumor and I swear it was IG... But I am not digging through forums for it. We're not getting FoC anyway! It's like Flying Cars... Always just two years away.

Whelp, looks like I'll only be getting the card set, not the codex - if that. Battlescribe will keep me up to date with the point cost changes.

I intend to

It was IG that was the 3rd codex this year along with Tyranids and Craftworld Eldar.

So question Unit of 6 kastelans hitting on 5 kills 16 marines or 24 orks. So with the agrapinaa doctrine what can reliably charge and not die instantly to a unit of 6 kastelans? It ain't a five man unit of terminators average there is 12 wounds. 30 man ork blobs with warboss? Giant tyrranid swarms. What else?

How does a Knight stack up? I don't have the rules on hand right now.

No where near but also less expensive

I didn't see any mention of IG in the FoC book. It was just SM and Ad Mech vs Tau.

Two days until book is out, hopefully 9 days until FAQ is out?

It'll all depend on the DG FAQ release

So far, all codex FAQs have dropped eight days after the codex. We should see the Death Guard FAQ on Sunday and a Cult Mechanicus FAQ on November 1st.

Lets hope they are consistent. The AdMech book needs a FAQ and it isn't even out yet!

Uh I think you mean October 1st

Well, I mean errata specifically - concerning points. Like Kataphrons, which should be about 15pt less each. Vanguard should be 8ppm like Rangers. And the Sicarians could use a cut too. A hefty one, really, given how mediocre they are.

And it will be good to get an FAQ on the impact of Cawl on the dual Canticles thing too and how that works with multiple FW detachments.
