Loken from Apocalypse40K is over in England and he is blogging live from The Horus Heresy Weekender.

Does this volume in any way take precedence over the current Imperial Guard codex?

Simple enough question as when for example it states the narrow end of the Inferno cannon needs to be within 18" of the gun, (p269) I appear to have gained range over the 12" quoted in the codex. I'm not sure as to whether there other like examples.


Oops sorry could someone please move this to general? Thanks


Cheers.

So the Third 5th edition 40k Codex to hop straight to Digital. (Space Marines and Necrons)

Can we assume that anything that goes from 5th straight to Digital is going to be last in the list or Codex Refresh's?

Originating from BoLS:

The Dark Reaper Exarch regains a classic weapon option from the days of yore. HINT, HINT - it involves skulls and chain.

Aspect Warriors are moving to plastic using the "combo-unit" dual-build format GW has moved to of late. We'll leave it up to you to guess which aspects could be paired off into combo-kit boxes with differing heads/weapon options.

The new Eldar flyer is quite curved in nature, with sweeping lines all about. A real head turner.

The new Eldar "big kit" is a wraith construct that shares numerous design cues with the current War Walker - but much larger. A "virtual" beast...

Eldar keep thier distance from Tau from an overall design theme. They will be the masters of maneuver and outright speed. Look for multiple options and units types for jetbikes including up-armored and even faster versions. Jetbikes as a family may well become the staple hallmark of the army. They will come in multiple flavors with both anti-personnel and anti-armor types.

FOC wise, look for a whole lot of jumping about of units between the HEAVY SUPPORT, FAST ATTACK, and ELITES slots. There will be difficult player decisions to be made in those areas.

* Models can choose to direct attacks at the chariot instead of the rider.
* Heavy Vehicle rule takes precedence over Deep Striking rule for shooting.

* Attacks, wargear and special rules that automatically affect enemy units also affect Allies of Convenience.
* “If a Fortification's weapons are using manual fire, their firers must target the same unit (unless the firing unit has the Split Fire specialrule). If a Fortification's weapons use automated fire, each weapon must target the nearest enemy unit within range and line of sight. This may result in the same Fortification targeting more than one enemy unit in the same Shooting phase.”
*If two players have special rules or effects that occur at exactly the same time before the game both effects occur simultaneously – roll a dice for which effect occurs first as per ‘The Most Important Rule’ on page 4 of the BRB.
*Fortification do not count towards victories.

Chaos Deamons:
*Limited what Daemon of Khorne’s can take
*Clarification to Heralds taking chariots? (I don’t have the codex so I don’t know if there is really an impact)

Chaos Space Marines:
* Obliterators, Obliterator Weapons - Change the final sentence to “An Obliterator unit cannot choose to fire the same weapon in two consecutive shooting attacks”.
* Abaddon the Despoiler, Mark of Chaos Ascendent - Add the following sentence “If Abaddon rolls Spawnhood or Dark Apotheosis on the Chaos Boon Table,re-roll this result (and any further results of the same). The Despoileris not meant for Daemonhood just yet!”
* A model that rolls Spawnhood or Dark Apotheosis on the Chaos Boon
Table, does not retain the effects of any Chaos Boon Table rolls that have
been applied to it so far during the game.
* A Helbrute that is already Immobilised and rolls Fire Frenzy does not lose an additional Hull Point.
* A model equipped with the Scrolls of Magnus that does not
begin the game as a Psyker, is considered to have become a Psyker once
they acquire one or more additional psychic powers from the scrolls; the model has the Psyker rule from that point onward, and is considered to have Mastery Level 1.

* Vast Stasis Anomaly - Change to read “Every model in a unit hit by one or more weapons with this special rule suffers a -3 penalty to its Weapon Skill and Initiative, to a minimum of 1, until the end of the turn. This replaces any penalty inflicted on a target by a Stasis Anomaly (see left).”
*Power Field Generator - Add “If the bearer is embarked upon a Transport vehicle, the powerfield’s effects only apply to models embarked upon that vehicle”.
!!Didn't finish reviewing....

Dark Eldar:
* Lilith’s ignore armor save attacks apply only to CC.
* Wounds caused by bladevanes, cluster caltrops and / or grav-talon attacks use the final position of the Reaver Jetbikes’ final position
Eldar:
*Mindwar allows LOS and Cover Saves

Grey Knights:
* Grey Knight Grand Masters, Grand Strategy Change the second sentence to “Roll a D3 and choose that many friendly Infantry, Jump Infantry, Monstrous Creature or Walker units in your army chosen from Codex: Grey Knights (but not models with the Independent Character special rule, Inquisitorial Henchmen Warbands or Grand Master Mordrak’s unit of Ghost Knights).”

Imperial Guard:
* Valkyrie Assault Carrier – Scout Remove Scout from the Special Rules section of both the Bestiary and Army List entries for the Valkyrie Assault Carrier and Vendetta Gunship.
* Other Equipment, Camo Cloak Replace the second paragraph with “A model wearing a camo cloak adds +1 to its cover save”
* A Psyker Battle Squad is Mastery Level 1.
* If an Imperial Guard army includes both Captain Al’Rahem and Commander Chenkov, and a unit of Conscripts that is part of Al’Rahem’s Infantry Platoon has purchased Commander Chenkov’s ‘Send in the Next Wave’ upgrade, neither the Outflank as per Captain Al’Rahem’s ‘Stalk the Enemy’ or move on from the player’s board edge, as per Commander Chenkov’s ‘Send in the Next Wave’ takes precedence – therefore simply roll a dice for which rule applies as per ‘The Most Important Rule’ on page 4 of the BRB.

Necrons:
* Monolith, Dimensional Corridor - Add “Note that a Monolith can use its Dimensional Corridor on a turn that it deploys by Deep Strike.” to the end of the rule.
* Vargard Obyron, The Vargard’s Duty - Change the first sentence to “When Obyron uses his Ghostwalk Mantle, so long as he and Nemesor Zahndrekh are not currently part of the same unit, he does not scatter providing he aims to arrive within 6” of Zahndrekh.”

A: Yes.

Orks:
* Weirdboyz can't use zzap on flyiers or flying MC
* Bigbomms have to be placed on models Deffkopta fly over
* Zogwort gets to rerolling if he gets a shooting power but keeps the second result, even if it's zzap.

Space Marines:
* Drop Pods and the units embarked upon them are to be considered as entering play from Reserves when deploying using the Drop Pod Assault special rule. Aside from the exceptions specified by the Drop Pod Assault special rule, these units are considered to be entering play from Reserves as normal, meaning, for example, that models benefitting from the Interceptor special rule may use this to make Shooting attacks at a newly arrived Drop Pod or the squad that has disembarked from it.

Tau:
*A Crisis Suits can take three of the same weapons (not twin-linked).

Eldar are now expected to release in June and according to Natfka there are going to be some interesting changes.
The eldar are going to be much better I hope!

Eldar are indeed coming.

Path system has been revamped. Autarchs take paths that are now fixed in point cost (before they became more expensive the more you took) but do not make their aspect troops.

Instead it allows corresponding aspects to be taken as compulsory troops.

Ergo, the Path of the Striking Scorpions would allow you to take up to two striking scorpions as troops.

If you also took the path of Swooping Hawks you could take up to two Swooping Hawks as troops or one and one.

Guardians are a lot cheaper and have more options for special weapons.

New transport for dire avengers / weapon platform (with no transport capacity).

And lots of new goodies.

If tau are the long range shooting army, eldar are a mix with potential units in short, mid and long range

Long range comes almost exclusively from heavy support, however so you need to create a mix it seems.

Aspects are still hyper focused and saw a very small decrease in points except fire dragons.

just saw this on faeit 212 http://natfka.blogspot.com/2013/04/b...c-plastic.html :D

Just went on pre-order:
http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuf...ERACT_ARK.html

Looks pretty sweet

All up on the new stuff bit.

Does that answer the blog question from a few days ago about if it was a conversion or not? Think so but I haven't gone back to look.

Not as keen on the front of the thunderhawk as I'd hoped. Looks more like it's sinking than it crashed and grazed the front to bits.

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuf...UNDERHAWK.html - £90 for the Crashed Thunderhawk tile

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuf...YER_SQUAD.html - £32 for the Legion Destroyers

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuf...ON_CANNON.html - £29 for the Legion Graviton Cannon

http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuf...VY_BOLTER.html £29 for the Legion Quad Heavy Bolter - which I love! Looks really meaty.

Ala faetit : http://natfka.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04...-not.html#more

Hope on the horizon?
