AbusePuppy Posted December 13, 2014 Report Share Posted December 13, 2014 Serious? Well, was last edition. Fail there. Mostly worthless character. It actually wasn't. Hatred did not change any between 6E and 7E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prophecy Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 The only question I have is what troop choices are we allowed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 It actually wasn't. Hatred did not change any between 6E and 7E. Hmmm...Ah, last edition, the chappy would add hatred to their unit. Was thinking of that. You are correct that 6E didn't add hate the other members of the unit. This edition, looked it up, a bit iffy: This rule is often presented as Hatred (X) where X identifies a specific type of foe. If the special rule does not specify a type of foe, then the unit has Hatred against everyone. This can refer to a faction, or even a specific unit. For example, Hatred (Orks) means any model with the Ork Faction, while Hatred (Big Meks) means only Big Meks. A model striking a hated foe in close combat re-rolls all failed To-Hit rolls during the first round of each close combat. So, looks like Hatred for a specific enemy type, like above with tycho, is per model, while a model with Hatred for everyone get's it for the whole unit. Could also be a typo, those aren't uncommon for GW. I'll also note that it doesn't specify how a mixed unit would work, despite including an example which uses an IC (big mek).

AbusePuppy Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 Eh. It doesn't have ObSec, and units that have been wiped out still don't get to make RP rolls. It's not awful, but it's nothing amazing, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pretre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 The new White Dwarf has been leaked. The photos are of bad quality, especially those showing the new WD-exclusive formations http://descansodelescriba.blogspot.de/2014/12/wdw-47-desveladahobbitjuegos-y-extras.html This and the next issue comes with cards! No joke Fat Dwarf is back? :P :) Mini-games for WFB and The Hobbit The release list is either not leaked yet or there are no products this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Here's the BA translation from the crappy pic: Guided Drop: This formation must be placed in Deep Strike Reserve. Make a single reserve roll for the entire formation. If successful, all units arrive from the formation. The formation’s unit of vanguard veterans must be placed first, and units of assault marines do not scatter so long as the first model is placed within 6” of the Vanguard Veterans Unit. Meteoric Impact: Immediately after deploying, any enemy unit within 6” of any unit from this formation suffer a str 4 AP- hit for each of their models which is within 6” of a model from the formation. In addition, these enemy units must move as if they are in difficult terrain until the end of their next turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 What do you have to take in that formation? I can't parse it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 That BA detachment is rilly rilly rilly dumb. The formations seem middling, but not awful- probably about the power level that formations "should" be at, as opposed to nonsense like the Lance or Firebase. Including the psychic power and Maelstrom cards in the WD issue is actually fairly clever; good on GW for doing that. @Fluger: They all have to have Jump Packs.

pretre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 am specialised in reading blur. Here's what I could make of it: Formation: X Tactical Squads X Stormraven Gunships (can't make out the numbers for sure, sorry. But I think it's 3 of each; the picture also supports that) Restrictions: Each Tactical Squad must include 10 models. The Sergeant of each Tactical Squad in this Formation may take a teleport homer as a free upgrade. This Formation's Tactical Squads cannot take Dedicated Transports, and must begin the game embarked in the Stormraven Gunships from this Formation. Special Rules: Augur Triangulation: If a friendly unit with the Blood Angels Faction arrives from Deep Strike Reserves within 12" of at least one/two model(s) from this Formation equipped with a teleport homer, then it does not scatter and can charge in the same turn it arrives. Objective Secured: All Troops units from this Formation have the Objective Secured special rule. Spearhead Strike Force: When making Reserve Rolls, make a single roll for the entire Formation, which you may choose to re-roll. If successful, all units arrive from this Formation. You can make a Reserve Roll for this formation from the start of Turn 1. This message was edited 4 times.

pretre Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 That's actually kind of cool. Charge from reserves, hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Holy [big bad swear word]. Combo that with the 15 elite formation and you have deep-striking assaulting melee terminators or vanguard vets... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
