The pre-measuring is used in both LotR and WFB today so I think it's for the sake of keeping the three systems similar. It makes it easier for a player to go from WFB to WH40k imho, and I think that is why they did it. Allies will be fun as hell, and though many people are bashing it now, I think that it is properly balanced with the different levels of alliances. Competetive play will most likely only see "brofist" allies anyway since you can't really use the other ones flexibly with ICs not being able to join their squads and rules not applying and such... Mystery terrain...I love it! Maybe not for tournaments, but I'd do it for pickup games for sure, hehe!

It also gives 3 different class of allies also. I suppose if there are negatives for obscure alliances then it could be balanced. I also love the warlord traits and psychic powers changes. Definately not dumbing down. They're adding a whole new range of tactics and strategic play. |

I'll be using the "Strategic" roll myself for my warlord(very AL, I know, hehe) 1. Your units have move through cover and stealth in ruins. 2. Automatic Night Fight the first round if you want to. 3. All outflankers gain acute senses(that has become an outflanking buff nowadays, hasn't it) 4. Reroll all reserve rolls 5. Enemy gets -1 to reserve rolls 6. Redeploy 1 unit 3d6" or 3 units 1d6" within their deployment zone. Very Alpha Legion to me, hehe |

Well, I got it from another source so I haven't seen it myself personally but: Command 1. Units within 12" can use warlord's Ld value. 2. Enemies within 12"(assuming from the warlord) must use the unit's lowest Ld value. 3. Units within 12" have Move through cover. 4. Units within 12" roll 2 dices on run and use the highest. 5. Units within 12" rerolls all ones when they fire at units within 3" from an objective. 6. Units within 12" gets +1" charge distance. Personal 1. The warlord and the unit he is with gets Counter Attack when in their own deployment zone. 2. The warlord and the unit he is with gets Furious Charge in the enemy's deployment zone. 3. The warlord and the unit he is with gets to Outflank. 4. Characters killed by this warlord awards 1 victory point. 5. The warlord and the unit he is with gets FnP within 3" from an objective. 6. The warlord is scoring, even if he is a vehicle. Translated from English to Swedish and back again, it should be correct but there might be errors... |

Funny thing is, that with the release of 6th edition the rumours regarding the new CSM codex has completely died down, drowned in the internet screaming about 6th edition... ...only little piece from Darnok at warseer that CSM is definitely coming in august is a comfort...

I also hear its Chaos and Dark Angels in a starter box. But 2 power armour armies, I'm taking that with a pinch of salt. |

Has anyone else thought it might be IG with Chaos allies? EDIT: In the starter box? Edited by Dark Apostle Thirst, Jun 28 2012, 04:38 PM.

I tend to remember things off the top of my head as opposed to checking, so please excuse and correct any official fluff mistakes I make. A lot of it also personal interpretation and theory, so feel free to disagree as well, I won't mind | |
