I actually have enough Armies that I'll probably drop the ~US$125 on the lot of them, but covering them all would take something like a dozen Codices. Even if they dropped back to turn of the century prices, that would come to far more cash to get them all. Plus, this way I also get the other half-dozen or so that I don't play, which would be another substantial chunk of change if I wanted to stay on top of those.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-45423203471888749852017-05-24T22:27:42.461+01:002017-05-24T22:27:42.461+01:00A Charge is successful if you end up within 1"...A Charge is successful if you end up within 1", so you only need to roll 9+ to make it in from the new Deep Strike. 10+ will get you into Base Contact, but that's not actually necessary. Doubles the odds of making that Charge, even before the possibility of re-rolls or other bonuses.<br /><br />I expect Ork Trukks to be somewhere in the vicinity of T5 W8 Sv4+, based on what we've seen so far. I also like how having an Attacks value and WS means that they can account for things like the crew of a Trukk laying about them with whatever they've got on hand as well as running people down with the Trukk itself.<br /><br />I also find it kind of interesting that the Chainsword specifies that it gives an extra Attack with the Chainsword itself. So a Sgt with Power Fist and Chainsword would likely get two swings with the Fist, and one with the Sword.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-12173273673513855592017-05-24T13:05:48.923+01:002017-05-24T13:05:48.923+01:00Yeah, by the looks of it, I'll need to pick up...Yeah, by the looks of it, I'll need to pick up 3 of the books for my current armies!Mike (Didcot Wargames Club)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04136576868354842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-42867436804167653042017-05-24T13:03:45.777+01:002017-05-24T13:03:45.777+01:00A friend and I were talking about the loss of deep...A friend and I were talking about the loss of deep striking flamer attacks last night. It is a concern, especially when it works so well against those cowardly Tau! <br /><br />Overall, very pleased with everything/rules except for the initial cost if we want the box set and play many armies that would cover most of the books. I know that most people will not have Chaos, Space Marines, and multiple Xenos forces however, and $25 will not be too much for those that are more *focused and wise with their purchases.Spot1cushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00697718872294791637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-53871818087620574722017-05-24T12:39:43.824+01:002017-05-24T12:39:43.824+01:00I am mostly waiting for videos of people playing i...I am mostly waiting for videos of people playing it for me to figure out half of it.Rory (Stepping Between Games)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11795468944108833350noreply@blogger.com
