The taser lance is awesome on a charge, 4 S8 hits that can generate more hits on 6's on I6 is great, but the jezzail is also aa good choice. it is only two shots, but sniper and rad posoning means that if you get a 6 on to-wound, you get two AP2 wounds.

Instead of one big package with all models and codex (per month), they release few kits per week and a codex in the last wave. So they can make people buy things that are cool on release, but something better might be just around the corner.<br /><br />And marketing is semi-official hype-building. First, there are rumors on the internet, stating that things like Skitarii could become real, even if most don't believe it. Then there's leaked WD stuff, with cryptic messages of what's next week (discussed on the web = free viral marketing), followed piecemeal by the content of the announcing WD (some pics, rule parts). Then the official release comes, and everyone is astonished that the high-res pictures look much better than the leaked low-res handy photos of a WD photo.<br /><br />AFAIK that's called guerilla marketing. Instead of working their asses off to promote stuff, WD leaks will make the way around the web. Every page (like BolS) wants the stuff to promote itself, so once someone posts something, it spreads to every community site out there. If GW wanted to keep it under wraps, removing the WD announcements would result in only vague rumors until it's on the GW store page. But no, this way they have sought-after leaks each week, building a week-long hype of "who gets more info".MajorNesenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830414113837067378.post-27218296607194413192015-03-26T02:14:44.247-07:002015-03-26T02:14:44.247-07:00Is this an inquisition tiny release with only two ...Is this an inquisition tiny release with only two unit types, or its it actually going to be a codex with full units?
