Our Codex is confirmed! - *** summary as of Sept. 29 in OP ***

I get that its legal, I more meant that it seems kind of wasteful. Why not take more dogs?

Wouldn't surprise me if they've reduced the number of Khymerae allowable per Beastmaster. No good reason for that, just cos!

They are generally trying to nerf deathstars. Beaststars are used and abused fairly often so it might be logical to assume that they will get the nerfhammer.

I am greatly interested in whether the points reduction/increase rumours are true. That our infantry should get a drop and vehicles should get a rise. In my book that means that infantry will stay more or less the same and vehicles will get some boost. Perhaps towards survivability, or offence. Like jinking, but firing full BS.

My biggest hope is that Lileth gets the rules that she has in the legion of the damned book/data slate, then she would become useful again

Yes-yes-yes!
Lelith realy needs some buff!

Slightly-but-not-entirely-baseless speculation here - what do people think of Power From Pain working in a similar way to Epidemius' tally rule? Every time you inflict a wound/casualty, add 1 to the total. Get a boost every time you hit a certain number.

I would actually love that as I feel it would really reflect the way in which a DE raid would work.

The "reveal" of the Voidraven on the GW website today mentions a book going up for pre-order too which "you'll no doubt want to get your hands on..."

Please don't let them be talking about Warhammer Visions.

Nah. Seen something about a novel somewhere.

The day has finally arrived. I have been waiting for plastic wracks since the first time I read the Dark Eldar codex all those years ago. I'll be getting two or three boxes today.

I think it would work a lot more elegantly than the rumoured "your army gets better with each passing turn", and is a lot less hassle than keeping track of how many pain tokens each individual squad has. Also makes more sense fluffwise than "Your kabalite unit has killed 37 space marines but you have no power from pain because you killed 9/10 dudes in each of 3 squads" and "Barry the Trueborn finished took the last wound off that Trygon so him and his 2 mates get a boost but nobody else does, not even the guys that took the other 5".

The rumored version (turnwise) shall be renamed to...
Waitmarker!

Anyone seen the rumours on Faeit? Somehow I think its BS... No Vect? Unlikely. No mention of bomber? I guess that would be one of the first things to look at. That PfP seems meh... Webway Portal giving DS? We have Retrojets for that... somehow it does not feel right.

Have you not seen the bomber?

I don't know. Somehow I find it believable, but on the other hand I just can't believe it. While I have a thread in another section saying Vect shouldn't be playable I never thought they'd take him out, and I can accept him as a lord of war. The major bummer/thing I can't accept is we'll have what? Three named HQs: Lelith, Urien, Drazhar. I could deal with it if they give our HQs options out the wazoo, but even if they did that, I think our named HQs are kind of integral to the fluff. Or at least replace them with new ones.

I have seen pictures and some rules rumours of course, but what I meant is that had I a dex in hand, Bomber would be one of the first things I would look at and talk about it. Not upgrading trueborn or wyches. :-)

One of our Warlord traits makes them cause fear, and our new LoW Batman gets it automatically!

Can I be an anon source too?

No Vect? :C

That puts Vect along with other characters as the third week of releases. So Week 1 Haemy/Wracks, Week 2 Codex/Void Raven, Week 3 characters.

Yes, that is what Khaine Mor posted here yesterday. Not sure that I am buying anything from this morning's Natfka leak re: Vect in particular. That guy supposedly has the codex in hand before its even up for pre-orders, and he hasn't leaked anything else from it yet? **reaches for salt**

Whereas the next WD will have a feature on the nobility of Commorragh. Mixed messages here, to me.

More info on Faeit.

Preorders are up!

Damn you archon edition, I just couldn't resist

Been sitting here pressing ctrl F5 since 10ish. 4:15am now

And I will now be sitting here and waiting on any more info.

Looking around, one thing I noted:

We will still have 6 combat drugs, as is apparent from the datacards description. Yay.
