http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net GW planning to release all remaining codices this year, i wonder what changes people want to see going from index to codex?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9891834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9891834.page GMT of course.

Such as something give bloodclaws run and charge, or something like +1 to hit in close combat. blahahaha. I might be dreaming ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9891875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9891875.page GMT
I expect them to get a chapter tactic that punishes the enemy for fighting them in close combat. Maybe just exactly the EC trait, or something letting units heroic intervention, etc. This would basically replace the old counter attack rules they used to have in 5th and so on.

Then I would just expect a few more psychic powers so they have 6, and 1 half page of strategems that mostly apply to wulfen, wolves, blood claws, etc. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9892032.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9892032.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9893934.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9893934.page GMT
* Sagas as pre-game stratagems that reward mid-game performance. So Saga of the Warrior Born might be a stratagem that costs 1CP when you deploy a character. Keep track of that character's kills over the course of a game. When the character has slain 10 wounds worth of models, the SW player gains 1d3+1 CP.

I think this sort of recaptures some of the intent behind sagas back in the 5th edition 'dex. Back then, they were bonuses for no mechanical drawback, but you were supposed to feel lame if you didn't meet a certain goal. Here, sagas become investments that encourage heroic (though not always tactical) behavior and reward you for pulling off stunts worthy of a skjald's telling.

* Gain <Great Company> keywords that unlock specific stratagems. <Sven Bloodhowl> Detachments might gain a stratagem that grants a unit 4+ FNP against flamer attacks, for instance, or <Ragnar Blackmane> might be able to spend 3CP to grant +1 Attack to any units that charge that turn.

Just spitballing. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9894091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/753393/9894091.page GMT
