Psykers smack to me of Chaos taint.

:)
hence why i have commissars in my army. to keep them in line.

Old Guard - maybe a commissar? nothing is going to keep them in line better than a bolt pistol :D

Go post in someone's topic that you normally wouldn't
Is it worth taking snipers as ratlings or special weapon squads?

Well,

Good: Heavy Choices, HQ choices, new characters

Bad: No scout move for my armoured sentinels, Can't use Kasrkins as troops, only take HW/SW teams as part of whole platoon.

Ugly: Photowork in Codex, seems rushed, I think the last Codex was a much better 'book', more proffessionaly done.

I've hada small rethink.

I can see some awsome opportunities for fielding a squadron of punishers against a horde army!!!

Combine that with the now awsome Manticore rules, chuck in a few hellhounds and that's an awful lot of mangled gribblies!!!

To be fair, you can see why they've severely limited their use!!!!

yes but what do with 100 kasrkin models! ;)

to be honest they are being striped down and added to different units, coming together for apoc. still trying to figure out how it plays when you attach ordos stormies to ig now, really confusing!

Entertainment officer...Meet the gang cos the boys are here.....
I'm adding a squad of Kasrkin as vets with the Hellguns as las (but I can max the SW and give those cool models a HVY WPN too and give thm carapace- nearly as hard as stormies but with more big bang (weeker main weapons though)
poop a few spares in the tray and i can use as stormies in some games (though My naval stormies may well come in to play for that role)

I'm still abit confused over Valk use. the Dex refers to vets and stormmies being able to atke a chimera but there is nothing I can see as to who can and cannot use the valk!?!)

anyone can use Valks, tho im confused with being non dedicated, can any squad start in them or do they need to embark in turn one? if they do it ruins the idea of an airborne unit?

Hmmm yes. If there is a Dex that needs a few articles and FAQ's this is it.

in other news the releases for planetstrike look very interesting. I'd love to think that the outpost and network come with a couple of trench board additions to the RoB boards but I suspect that its the full set of the existing.

PLANETSTRIKE 80page Book July 04
BLASTSCAPE 5 Craters July 04
IMPERIAL BASTION 1 Model Box July 04
AEGIS DEFENCE LINE 1 Model Box July 04
SKYSHIELD LANDING PAD 1 Model Box July 04
MINES, BOMBS AND BOOBY TRAPS Resin Markers July 04
IMPERIAL OUTPOST 5 Model Set + Gameboard July 18
IMPERIAL DEFENCE NETWORK 13 Model Set + Gameboard July 18
SHRINE OF THE AQUILA 1 Cathedral July 18
IMPERIAL STRONGPOINT 2 Bastions, 3 Defence Lines July 18

Jase/Andy: As a non-dedicated transport, any unit may start embarked in the vehicle. Also, any unit can use the grav chute disembarktion rules. Ordo stormtroopers remain unchanged as they are equiped with markedly different weapons from their Guard counterparts. It is unlikely that Ordos stormies will change until the rumoured Codex: All The Inquisition In One Big Book. Hope that helps chaps.

Dave out.

means he can move and fire a heavy or rapid fire weapon as normal. same goes for termie armour i think ( at least for DAs)

for some reason i suddenly got a craving for my command squad to have hotshot laspistols, and i was very disappointed to find they couldnt have them :(
