I'm disappointed that these "updated data sheets" are pretty much not there. Scouts? Still BS 3 but cost the same as Vanilla. Termies haven't gone down to vanilla point costs. Vanguard still have to pay original power weapon cost. That's just naming a few.

What the hell? Was it just a lazy reprint? Did they make a mistake and forgot to put in the new costs and stuff? This really sucks if it's intensional because it means they're still not up to date with every other marine codex...

They haven't even updated the Dreadnaughts attacks to 4 base (which they said they got in the FAQ). GW... What are you doing?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8906831.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8906831.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex...

And yeah I really hope so. I really hope things have actually been updated and this isn't the final update, because nothing has been updated except for Grav-Cannons being a thing. In fact, this book even says that Heavy Flamers are Sternguard only haha.

Good job GW. I seriously hope that this wasn't what they intended]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8906847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8906847.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex... (Disappointed)

The most recent Space Marine codex has them BS4.

The Traitor's Hate book has a box that allows Predators and Vindicators to be taken in squadrons of 1-3, like the Space Marine codex.

They could have chosen to bump scouts to BS4, Dreadnought attacks to 4, and fix some points.

I'm not suggesting the draft faq has been changed, I'm saying the draft faq is a draft. The final faq hasn't been issued. Therefore I wouldn't have expected any of the proposed changes to be reflected in digital supplements yet.

If they update the digital supplements when the faqs have been finalised and published, then that's what they'll do.

Our HQ unit is great. Just pay a 5% point tax to cover your troops and throw as many down as possible. You're still 50/50 on losing to most other modern codexes.

There are good opportunities to deep strike a durable psyker (like a libby dread), and excellent swaps within the codex for electrodisplacement. Or if you want to ally, you can swap in a charging Knight on T1.

I think that vanilla is still significantly more powerful and offers more playable options (Skyhammer, Centurions, Gladius, etc.), but this is a big step -- at least Blood Angels have some interesting play options that aren't totally gimped. I for one, will enjoy trying out the Lucifer tank formation, Archangels force, Golden Host, 10th company, and Deathcurion -- because I already have all those models anyhow.

By the time I explore the options available in Angel's blade, 8th edition will be out, LOL.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8908363.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8908363.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex...

We play with all the errata/draft faq as if they were final. "Obviously" it's gonna happen sometime, but I suppose the issue is that not all factions have been FAQ'd, so it's not "fair" in some contexts to play a FAQ'ed faction against an unFAQ'ed (or errata or whatever).

However, I don't believe any of it is published to the RULES ERRATA page on GW's website yet, so it's not technically "official". I'm referring to this:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Rules-Errata

My point is simply that the FAQ, which will contain the Errata, when finalized and released on GW's website will supercede the Angel's Blade supplement or the Red Thirst version of the BA Codex, because it will have a later date stamp.


On the point of FAQ vs Errata -- the reason it says Errata instead of FAQ is because GW is saying it's a rebalance rather than answering a question (there is no question). It seems that all the straight up rebalance issues (change of attacks, stats, etc) are labelled Errata.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8908883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8908883.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex...

Any reason I shouldn't buy this over the new Angels Blade book? It's cheaper on iTunes, so I am suspicious I would miss out on something.

Thanks!

I'd buy the books as you can sell them if wanted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8909684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8909684.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex... (Disappointed) FAQ was even released. It takes them a few days to write up a draft FAQ, but months has to go in to their printed books and ebooks, even when it's just copying in updated rules to an existing book. It's also worth remembering it's two seperate departments writing the rules and the FAQs.

Still pretty lazy, but that's orobably the reason unfortunately. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8910833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8910833.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex... (Disappointed)

Then it most likely is just the people writing the codex being lazy and not putting in the right info.

I really hope so haha and I hope they update it with the right info soon. It was a $70 Ebook in Aus...


FAQ was done when? Printed book was finalized months ago so if FAQ came out in like summer way too late for printed book...

Oh and as for errata being MUST be used...HAHAHA.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8910884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/702661/8910884.page GMT So I just got the Red Thirst BAngel codex... (Disappointed)

However, I don't believe any of it is published to the RULES ERRATA page on GW's website yet, so it's not technically "official". I'm referring to this:

https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Rules-Errata

My point is simply that the FAQ, which will contain the Errata, when finalized and released on GW's website will supercede the Angel's Blade supplement or the Red Thirst version of the BA Codex, because it will have a later date stamp.

That's a good point on getting the timestamps to line up, actually.

Though I'm pretty sure changes made via errata become official as soon as they are published, in any shape or form, whether or not they're on that page - GW took flak for putting them out over facebook for that exact reason.

It doesn't help that they wrote them cack-handedly, though - whereas the scouts and Cassor changes state to 'replace' a value, generic dreads get 'add 2' which ties them to the old, incorrect version.

It took me less than 3 minutes to edit/correct my Red Thirst edition epub. Can see why dreads were left the way they were, but there's no excuse for the scout changes not being made to the electronic books.

Well, it seems odd giving Scouts BS3 in light of the Draft FAQ:
