Guest Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Please start talking again about how bad the dark angels codex is. please? DA codex is fine, it's just everything released since is that much better. Though that LS vengeance is pure fail and I really hope GW adds some viable rules for that one...

WestRider Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 No, he was using the NightShroud. And that was before Ignores Cover was quite so common, as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yeah, the Nightshroud is situational, but great when the other guy doesn't have a counter for it. The Vengeance is just too expensive, fragile, threatening, and short-ranged, which all together makes for a really terrible combo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I shot his Nightshroud with a lascannon and he failed his 2+ cover save and I popped it. That said, he tabled me in like 3 turns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 My beautifully painted Deathwing hasn't seen the light of day since mid 6th. It will take a good, not OP best book out, but good Codex to get mine back on the table. I would like to play a Mix Wing but with the Termies so bad now I just can't do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I like the idea of their power mauls, I just think they needed rending or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 That would be pretty cool to be able to buy a power weapon with a bonus to strength, high ap but rending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonVilkee Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 yeah with rending they wouldn't have needed the crazy smite thing... Give the Sargent smash (so he could really just crush a vehicle) and bob's your uncle. Drop points of course but that is more a product of terminators for the most part.

Gravedigger Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Any more on this rumor? I'm trying to figure out my OFCC list but if I could bring my Deathwing again I'd be happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 No, he was using the NightShroud. And that was before Ignores Cover was quite so common, as I recall. It's a Darkshroud, not NightShroud, but we all know what you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFireBob Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, finished my DA high command formation in time for the new codex to drop. Gagh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Was thinking about it, DA need an option for their tactical squads to take a second plasma gun instead of a heavy weapon. Likewise, DA devastators with Plasma Guns as an additional option. Would make fluffy sense, given that DA are supposed to have the most plasma weapons.

WestRider Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, going through the fluff, DA are really described as having the most old and rare tech. In rules so far, tho, this pretty much ends up just being Plasma and Mortis Dreads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, going through the fluff, DA are really described as having the most old and rare tech. In rules so far, tho, this pretty much ends up just being Plasma and Mortis Dreads. They've got a few gadgets in the current codex. I am curious how they'll be handled in a new codex. For predictions, I suspect they'll nerf the Darkshround, RW Knights, and DW knights. Then they'll make the LS Vengeance, Dark Talon and Nephlim Jetfighter amazing. If we do get kits, GW would be really smart to release the long overdue Mortis Dreadnought kit/upgrade sprue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's almost certainly not going to happen, but I'd really like to see them get access to Grav. And more specifically, a Grav Cannon option for DeathWing Terminators. My big hope, tho, is that their Relics get better. Most of them are underwhelming, overpriced, or both.

Ser Warwick Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yeah, nerfs to their best units at the moment (which are merely good compared to other codices' best) are not needed. External codex balance does not seem to be a primary goal for the design team though, so that could very well happen. I think solid chapter tactics that reflect either their archaeotech/plasma hoarding, their sinister and secret reputation, their knightly theme or their synergy between the various wings would be cool for fluff and rules balance. Although I am sure they will be nerfed for the sake of tradition, what does everyone think they would need to get to be on par with the more reasonable books? Points adjustments are most likely, but pretty boring as far as updates go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Honestly, points adjustments are what they really need. There are some very cool concepts in the Dex as it stands, but they've never really had a chance to play out on the field, because if you're running the cool stuff, you're effectively playing at something like a 10-25% points deficit. Something to differentiate the Ravenwing more from White Scars would be cool, too. Special Detachments and Formations for RavenWing and DeathWing could probably do a lot of it, along with points adjustments. On an entirely different note, every time I look at this thread, "Dark Angels in June" sounds more and more like some kind of 50s rock/doo wop song ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psilence Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 I think a new DA specific psychic discipline might be interesting. Sorta reflect their secretive/interrogating nature. Perhaps a tie in to their conclave formation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Honestly, points adjustments are what they really need. If you removed the Character tax on DW and RW troops, it would go a very long way to making the codex viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
