and yeah thx for all the espionage, if nothing else right to slaughter some puppies and a Hive word :3 for him

We now have 2 items that give -2 Ld to nearby enemy units. Within 6" and 9". So even with Ld 10 som pinning tests would be great!.

well take eldar heavy support seems the solution, Dark reapers with starshot and the Nightspinner/Shadowweaver/Vibro cannon trio can help this, but back to topic arent the wych weapons paired so even the specialist means nothing for us? here in 5th dex razorflails hydras and S&I are all paired weapons hnce giving bonus A

Can the Haemunculus take the Archangel of Pain Relic?!

Here's a question from left field, who is the author? I can't find it anywhere.

Lately all the books have been written by the Studio Design Team or something similar. They no longer put a single author name on them.

That's so the internet doesn't pseudo-witchhunt/lynch the person responsible for this.

I'm not so sure. I think rather it's to prevent personalities from becoming popular (or unpopular), as opposed to the company, so that when they eventually move on (or get sacked), the public never even hears about it.

NO WONDER IT IS SCREWED UP! - 'Studio Design Team..So model makers making RULES CODEXES.....

Still cannot believe what they did to the splinter cannon if they were going to dick it up, should have made 'if moving snap fire' LIKE THEYDO WITH EVERY OTHER HEAVY WEAPON THAT IS INFANTRY OPTION..

BUT they hose the MAIN WEAPONS on the Venom.. sit still like a pigeon, shoot 36, move, shoot 18..... hell may as well MAKE IT A RULE FOR ALL VEHICLE WEAPONS FOR ALL ARMIES... ONLY way to be fair... oh wait this is a GW update... stupid me.... Evil or Very Mad

I think we all need a bit more time to digest the many changes and how they will mesh together and affect us. In the meantime, can we cut down on the 'shouting', please? Thank you, Gob.

Is Vect mentioned in the book? I know he's not available to play but is he still in the fluff? I mean, did he get overthrown finally or should I continue to hold out hope that he's going to be a LoW in a future release with the Dais?

I know a lot of people claim that they didn't play him but I did, and he was a freakin' monster despite not having AP2 weapon. My circle of friends learned to hate him pretty quick Smile

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that vehicles with heavy weapons were unaffected by moving and shooting?

Read the thread, but couldn't find.

1 Can the haemi take a hexrifle?

2: Is hexrifle cause a AP2 ID on to hit rolls of 6, or do you have to wound with it ?

3: Sslyth Bulky?

4: Does the lhamean 2+ poison rule only affect the archon, or does it affect sslyths too?

Kabalite Warrior Posts : 198 Join date : 2014-01-09

You mentioned the Archon gives +1 to the PfP clock if he's brought in the formation. Did you mention what the formation is?

I have a bunch of wych models still on sprue... and a lot of left over splinter rifles. Time to make them Kabalite Warriors.

Awesome work, Scorpion, thank you! Smile

This dex seems to be better and better the more I read the info Smile

BTW Vehicles are Relentless, so Venoms Fire Salvo 4/6 as stationary 6 at 36". 12 shots at 36" after 12" movement with dual Cannons are still in. Although 5 points more expensive if I read correctly.

Question: If i read right, many units (Coven, Sslyth, etc) start with FnP. Is this basic 5+ FnP, right, not just "count PfP 1 turn better"? So native 5+, that is unaffected by PfP Turn 2-3, AND Talos can boost it to FnP(4+)?

Urien has IWND or he kept his auto regain 1 W / turn? What do his special rules provide? Thanks Smile

Vehicles always count as stationary when firing salvo and heavy weapons. So a venom will always get 12 shots at 36" even if it moves...

incubi are 20 p each now. 3-10 unit size.

Klaive is the same, 10p, and same weapon 15p for demiklaives.

Awesome so my incubi gained +1 attack rampage and init 6 attacks for the same cost as before.

So grateful to you Scorpion for revealing the latest secrets...

...I get the codex on Saturday so all the knowledge will be mine!!!

Great work Scorpion, you have given the many of us inspiration to wreak More havoc upon the slave-races.

Also reading over the other posts about the Coven supplement, I can see some rather nasty combinations of formations. Since they are the same faction, combining the formations for increased utility could be devastating for many.

I'm looking forward to this edition of our Dark Kin. Very Happy

Again thanks.

^^^This!

Question:
1. Since Lhamaeans seem to be the new wyches what kind of gear do they have besides the 2+ poison blades?
2. How is the artwork of the codex? color pictures of units or just pictures of the models?

Dude we really lost him... OTOH, Scorpion, is shadowfield exclusive to archons and clone fields for archins and haemis or can sucubbi take any of them?

Do you people bother reading the thread? Literally half of these questions have been answered more than once.

It's really disrespectful to have one person repeating the same thing over and over again. Take the time to read, just like he's taking the time to write out the book for you.

In my defense I have been reading this thread completely since it was started. I don't remember the question being answered so I asked.

I was wondering if the Shattershard is still around? if so how does it work now?
