There not going to challange Eldar or Tau at the top but will remain a solid mid table codex. <br /><br />It will take some adjusting to the new rules, but thats always the case with a new codex. My army will still be valid and run pretty much as before, although i'll have to re-think the vets in the valkyrie, and i'll be looking at the new MT/ST platoons. (Which i'm hoping will work the same way for reserves as the standard platoons) <br /><br />I'll morn the loss of the Griffin though, and hope the wyvern can step up and show that its as good as it seems.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412304888734273336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-84420107608195908892014-04-05T14:41:00.781-07:002014-04-05T14:41:00.781-07:00Well, it was foreseeable they wouldn't include...Well, it was foreseeable they wouldn't include half-a-dozen artillery kits to give us all variants listed in the current codex.<br /><br />My concern with the current leaks is - the guard seems to become far more static.<br />AlRahem is gone, Marbo is gone, stormtroopers can't outflank/infiltrate any more.<br />Seems the only scouts would be the scout sentinel and Creed's chosen.<br /><br />As for the wyvern, I like the model and the rules, just the price is too high to field enough of 'em.<br />Luckily I won't need many other kits, Ogryns don't fit my army style, Taurox will take much time to convert (preventing me from buying more until it's done, yay).<br />One box of scions is enough to build 10 guys when using Cadian torsos/legs, that will come closer to my current Kasrkin and leave cool torsos for charakters.MajorNesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-7245099745092931232014-04-05T05:57:39.727-07:002014-04-05T05:57:39.727-07:00So yeah, it competes in heavy .
