I wonder if the Legion of the Damned is getting it's own Dex (and maybe some Plastics)

that would be fun

Color me skeptical on any LotD codex being worth buying *cries in 6th edition*

Man, if Legion of the Damned gets a Codex after they removed Skitarii and Scions with their own...I'll cry into my bacon and waffles tomorrow morning.

A supplement with a few special rules would work fine for Legion of the Damned. Buts thats trueof ALL Marine Chapters

Well, and a time machine. Because they were destroyed during Gathering Storm.

Well to be fair they have always had a giant slew of rules you can't really consolidate for. They ignore cover, have a 3++, AND Deep Strike (and I'm pretty sure they still have to arrive that way). I've been all for getting rid of bloat but they're a tough nut to crack.

Skitarii do have their own codex, regardless of your continued bizzare trolling on the matter.

That their small number of auxiliary units happens to include the HQ section because they’ve yet to get around to giving an alpha primus rules outside of 30k is a strange anomaly, but doesn’t change that the tabletop faction is *overwhelmingly* tech guard.

They do not have their own Codex. They feature in a Codex. They had their own Codex, hence my statement of "after they removed" those two from their own.

"Small number of auxiliary units" is apparently code for:
-Three different Techpriest variants(Dominus, Enginseer, Manipulus) plus two characters(Cawl and Daedolosus)
-Two different Electropriest units
-Two different Kataphron units
-Kastelan Robots
-Datasmiths
-Knights and Armigers

Huh. Why, it almost sounds like they rolled three books into one!
If people can constantly whine about GW prices or anything, I can damn well bring up in my thread the fact that Skitarii lost their own Codex to get rolled into a combined book that could just as easily have been two separate ones or a more complete one with a simple frigging job that ensured Skitarii remained a viable solo army. Because they were a viable solo army, unlike the dumpsterfire that was Cult Mechanicus

They a single entry in the Index and they certianly have less unique units than say Harlequins (who are still missing some of theirs) and would in fact be perfect for a WD dex.

Having their Chapter tactics be Flaming Projectiles (Ignore Cover) Aid Unlooked For (Deep Strike) and Unyeilding Spectres (Amour is invulnerable) worked there

So to clarify, you're upset your faction got rolled in with another who is thematically very similar from the same organisation. You gained options, you can still run your army the way you could before (hint, skitarii needed a bespoke force org to even field models) more or less and you're complaining you don't get to buy 2-3 books for the same units?

Gee, it’s almost like cult mechanicus was a small supplement following up the initial release or something.

He’s been at this for a while, essentially instead of just asking for one or two skitarii specific characters like the rest of admech players, he wants the filthy taint of tech priests out of his pure unsullied skitarii book.

Yeah...no. That's the view that someone who was unfamiliar with the two factions would go for.

I'm "upset" that my faction lost all of its flavor in response to the whining from Cult Mechanicus players who insisted that "iT nEeDs To Be CoMbInEd!!!1!" because their Canticles "didn't work otherwise".
So to summarize:
I don't get Doctrina Imperatives on my Skitarii outside of Stratagems, I don't get squadroned Onagers, I don't get grenades on my Ruststalkers, I don't get my advance move.
And to top it off? I got a whole new set of nonsense in the form of that watered down crap that is Canticles foisted upon me

You gained options, you can still run your army the way you could before (hint, skitarii needed a bespoke force org to even field models) more or less and you're complaining you don't get to buy 2-3 books for the same units?

I cannot run my army the way I could before. I gained no "options" until the introduction of the Skorpius and the forthcoming Engine War stuff. I could ally in Cult if I wanted them(spoiler: I didn't), and the 'bespoke force org' that they had was no different than Harlequins had last edition...yet Harlequins got HQ choices added.

Gee, it's almost like Cult Mechanicus was designed around being an elite army and people insisted they had to play it as a horde...and for whatever stupid reason, GW caved and let them have their way.

Electropriests should have been a Troops choice, not Kataphrons.

lol, no? I've said that we need a Skitarii HQ choice before we need more stupid Techpriests added. I've said that we need Doctrina Imperatives returned to Skitarii because this Canticles stuff is garbage.

If you choose to view it that way, that's on you. But you're wrong.

you are aware that you army only was created just because not all boxes fitted the release model by that time and GW split them into 2 factions instead of changing the way they released stuff?
this was just a temporary solution until the next Codex release

your army was a placeholder right from the start and while I can understand it, this is how GW works, deal with it or play something else (as you can expect another change happening with 9th)

"your army" is only there for one edition/life cycle of the Codex books and replaced by something different with the next version of the book. If you expected those things (as how your army works and plays) to stay, you play the wrong game

Cool, so when do Harlequin get rolled into Codex: Aeldari?

as soon as the next Eldar Codex is released
it is not like they were not part of that Codex before

The Pan- Fo will not be denied!

2nd Edition!

I’ll.....I’ll get me coat.

So, just talking with some people from our group, and one pointed out the obvious: All those quotes they spoiled only really match one faction perfectly - the Sisters of Silence, which are supposed to join the custodes in their PA.

Which is "War of the Spider", not "Pariah".

Also they match any non-Marine Imperial faction fairly well.

Did they say the preview was limited to Pariah?

They said it's something bigger than Psychic Awakening.

We know Pariah, we know War of the Spider, we know Engine War. All of that stuff got previewed already.

that makes sense we know sisters are getting slotted into custodes.

that said the silent king's return has been all but said already, that's IMHO the big news and we should expect no more and no less.

anything beyond that one reveal? is a bonus

I kind of have a feeling that the last part of the quote (which will likely be shown at the beginning of the preview) will begin with the word "But".

Back to back previews starring the Lion would be epic. Wasn't the HH one shown at the last one?

You know, that's a really good call. I mean, if we didn't already know it was Space Slann. SPACE SLANN!



Seriously though, SoS works. *

Why are *BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD* people *MURDER* thinking the *MAIM* above quote *KILL* means Khorne?

Its been 10 editions since Khorne had anything remotely like martial honour. I don't see GW adding any extra nuance at this late stage.

Get ready everyone, your wallets are not prepared ! As in spending, they offer you salvation. The real question will be, how over the top will all the new offerings cost ?

Give those feelers out there folks. I'm going to say the prices will be legendary, strong enough to send ripples of joy through the masses.
