Subject: Psychic Awakening N&R - OP updated with rumoured release schedule
An Actual Englishman wrote: We know the level of PA 'buff' to expect from the first book and the Eldar reactions. It won't take any faction to the level of nu-Marines, apart from, presumably, other marines. Listening to recent podcasts of the various playtesters all but confirms this.
I wouldn't expect or want Sisters to be the same level as nu-Marines because, frankly, nu-Marines are overpowered and should be nerfed. Not to mention that slowly adding other overpowered factions into the mix just pisses off those who are last to the party. If Sisters are on the same level does that make the game much better? Is having 2 factions OP way better than 1? I don't think so. Certainly not for those people who don't play those factions.
Which Podcasts? I'd like to listen and see what they are saying.
No Pity! No Remorse! No fear!

This is from me at my Hexfleet Virules Facebook page. Some jackass took my post and carefully cropped out my page name and references and then spread that all over Discord. I mentioned on the B&C what happened (where I post under the username Lagrath), after which Spikey Bits and Faet reposted the cropped picture and referenced my B&C handle rather than my page, hah.

Sadly I think the plot will be as weak as you say but I liked the portrayal of everyone.

Eh.
I figured the wacky voice was going to be the tech priest, but it turned out just to be a normal guy (as far as imperial cardinals go)
Kinda odd to see the Black Templar and Sister be the rational ones, though at least Bald Inquisitor has calmed the feth down from her earlier meth-fueled panic attacks.
Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Regarding the voices, I very often hear 40K characters as Balkan or Eastern when I read them (cos I like to). This is actually the first time I've heard a character in one of their trailers, the Sister, have such an accent, instead of the RP English that they go with for 96.4% of their (human) characters. So thumbs up from me to whoever produced this one, well done

You just described every piece of fiction to ever be associated to 40k.

keep in mind my summery is cliche but that doesn't nesscarily mean it's bad, that can summerize most major conflcits in 40k. Including Armageddon (which IMHO has been one of the better written warzones GW's done)

Wrong on all counts, ignore me.

Well Marines and Battle Sisters are practical and hardened veterans of war as well as true believers - hysterical civilians are just annoyances once the shooting starts.

Preorder on the 16th (as opposed to the 23rd in the leaked list)
2 week preorder maybe? The leaks were release dates
Possible I suppose given the Sisters of Battle box was meant to be released alongside it. But they might have shifted it to avoid having 2 PA books in 2 weeks, which did seem a bit silly

I'm loving the D-tier voice acting. Visuals show shouting, angry peeps, VAs have a range of "bored secretary telling you the boss is busy" to "old man upset there's no buffet tonight".
I don't mean it sarcastically either, it has exactly the level of quality I remember from those 90's video games GW licensed to SSI, so it makes me nostalgic

Hey it worked the first time.
And if the alpha legion is involved then sneakieness is a high probability.

I really hope this rumor is wrong, as GW presented it as the CSM "supplement equivalent" to the loyalist marines, but if there is no upgraded traits or equivilant to doctrines, then its very much not going to equalize even with this. meaning CSM either remains stuck as inferior until round 3, and only then try again-or wait for yet ANOTHER book.
Not to mention 2W cult marines makes me somewhat sad, as the rubrics gain very little from it compared to other cult marines (being a plasma bait already), and I'm a tzeentcher.
can neither confirm nor deny I lost track of what I've got right now.

Didn't Rubrics always used to be 2W marines? Thought they had kept that when they got the new book.
And as always, "supplement equivalent" means like the supplements, what they added compared to the main book - it's just a bit of extra flavour, not a re-balancing to make them equal.

Subject: Psychic Awakening N&R - New trailer page 106
Why does everybody think "supplement level" means doctrines + enhanced traits? Those are both things added by the codex, not the supplement.
All the supplements add are... stratagems, relics, warlord traits... you know, like what Black Legion got in Vigilus.
Expecting anything more than that based on "supplement level" seems really strange.
