WestRider Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/845 Some odd decisions in the GSC section. The DeathWatch stuff is all pretty straightforward. Knights got their Armour Facings and firing arcs sorted out, and a resolution to Ion Shields vs. Barrage.

PumpkinHead Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 I can see it both ways for the GSC and the allies matrix: BB vs AoC. Its not like putting invisibility on a "good" tyranid unit was going to help the army much. But it would have been nice seeing how other armies are getting crazy shenanigans. Guess mixing of the units won't be happening and my OFCC list is kind of boned a bit... Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfestedKerrigan Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 One persons post had the images embedded due to how he copied the information. The other one took the lazy route and expected us to do all the work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonwinter Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 At least Tyranids can can have friends if not BB. BB makes more since.. But oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other one took the lazy route and expected us to do all the work.It's actually a lot easier than it used to be, which is why I do so much reposting here. You can actually highlight and copy the page without doing the img tags and ordo figures it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I did not know that. And yeah, I couldn't deal with messing with the images and tags and all when I posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Yeah, I'm ashamed I dealt with img tags for so long now that I know I can just cut and paste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Cultists were more like "eat last" on the list of things to eat on a planet, so not sure they should count as battle brothers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PumpkinHead Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Ouch, reading the facebook page about the GSC and Tyranids makes me want to cry as allies of convenience kicks the GSC square in the nuts. Being affected by Shadows in the warp, not being able to infiltrate within 18" of Tyranids, and hitting each other with shriek will suck! My OFCC list is straight up boned if the GW FAQ in its current incarnation is used. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torg Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 anyone playing with the Gene Stealer Cult? I've been eyeballing them as a possible project - that box set made it really possible. -d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OFCC list is straight up boned if the GW FAQ in its current incarnation is used. :( Yeah, that was really a terrible decision on their part. I think they just wanted people to not be able to mix n match ICs and use powers on each other, but it ends up doing much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's okay, Shadow is a joke of a rule anyways, so it really doesn't hurt you much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 Regarding the fluff, doesn't the Genestealer cult precede the swarm, so the two wouldn't really be present at the same time? GW's FAQs always seem more related to intended fluff than they do regarding game balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbusePuppy Posted May 27, 2016 Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 They establish themselves ahead of the main body of a Tyranid invasion, yes, but once the hive fleet arrives they fight rabidly against the planet's defenders in order to weaken them so that the main Tyranid forces can more easily overpower any resistance. GSC allied with Tyranids would presumably represent this stage of an invasion, where the hive fleet had made planetfall and the GSC had outed themselves through sabotage and betrayal of the defensive forces, and working alongside their alien masters. Going purely by the fluff, the GSC should absolutely be Battle Brothers with Tyranids- they are suicidally devoted to them and literally have no thoughts but to serve their purposes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
