It's on a facebook page I follow. It's not letting me post the image.

One of the typos on the page is they have Multi-Meltas at S 5, AP -1, 1 D.

So the typo is "I accidentally typed in the values of an old Heavy Bolter", nice

Or did he see the Inceptor datasheet and not devastators? I haven't seen this pop up in any major groups and it certainly would have by now.

I don't know - we've seen at least one weapon which improves its target's save by 3 or 4 so far, so...

Looking at a box of Triarch Praetorians I got in today and … did they always have a movement of 10"? I thought they had a 5" like most Necrons.

Who the heck knows any more ?

Praetorians always had 10" move and the Fly keyword. That thing on their backs is essentially a Necron jump pack.

Yes. GW never ever does typoes.

When you are talking about person who are selected not due to competence but attitude hardly surprising. Ability to shout waagh enthusticially and willingness to work with low wage doesnt' mean you are competent designer/writer.

Ah! Thank you.

Uuuuh....yes? Would be kinda lousy jump packs them if they moved just 5"...As it is they are already slow jump packs compared to what others have. 5" would be ridiculous. "here's our elite melee units with jump packs. Watch them hop with zero speed boost!"

Not to call this a good practice, but that's still better than what's going on in some US companies where people that apparently dislike their franchise and fans are hired since they have the correct social and political views.

At least the people hired at gw care about the game. Doesn't make them better at writing it, sadly.

the best case would be a competentish designer ontop of someone that loves the game and the universe. Basically not only able to shout waaaggh but also catch the feeling for it to implement it correctly into the rules.

GW people love their own opinion of what the game should be. They certainly don't love the game.

That's how you get Robin - frack the Tyranids- Cruddace and Mr Ermagherd Ulrtrumuhrines destroying factions left and right just because they do not like them.

that's funny, I've never heard anyone accuse Matt Ward of writing BAD codices before

Allegedly, he was the author of the 7th edition ork codex and the supplement that shall not be named.

I mean yes, technically they weren't "bad", they were often just outright, broken.

BrianDavion wrote:

See I didn't even named him and it is evident that his reputation is already legendary.

His 8th edition fantasy Elf (yes Elf not Aelf) army books were pretty good and well balanced from when I played them.

(Now sits shaking in a corner with the memory of flying BA land raiders and “THAT” Grey Knights codex!)

His Chaos Daemons book was the actual thing that drove me out of the game, but his 7th edition Orcs and Goblins book sowed the seeds for it. The only positive thing that book did was make Choppas count as hand weapons. Basically everything else in the book removed options or flavour with the most egregious stuff being to nerf anything Goblin-related into the ground and be made irrelevant.

I don't think 8th edition High Elves was of the tier of 6th edition Skaven or 7th edition Daemons - but it was still probably the most powerful book, and in the top tier by a considerable distance.

Really though I think it just shows that while CA isn't perfect, its massively improved balance because you don't just get multi-year codex creep with no compensation.

Here's btw the devastator sheet in question.

This page seems like it is getting pretty hyperbolic.

Another fantastic typo. The Multi-Melta fires D6 shots, apparently.

Did fething nobody read these things before they went to print?

Probably not. Likely they just wanted them made and shipped.
