Hello everyone !!

yesterday Gw released an Errata/Faq for Iron Hands and Raven guards.

Iron Hands errata

Raven Guard errata

Off course what's matter are the nerf to Iron Hands :

• Ironstone, now limited to one tank within 3"


• 5++ bubble from Iron Father limited to infantry


• 4+ Counter SPell is now 2cp


• the Overwatch on 4+ is now 2cp as well


• Repair stratagem can't target twice the same model


• Psychic Repair power can't target a tank already repaired this turn

Sound like a well made nerf, not too big but still significant enough to save the Meta ^^ My only gripe is Machine Empathy, with Blessing of the Omnimessia being range 1" it's hard to use on 2 targets :/.

I still think Iron Hands are one of the best but now you can try the double Primaris Heavy Plasma unit with 5++ 6fnp reroll 1 move and fire bla bla bla...

Hello everyone !!!

Official preview of the Imperial Fists

For more than 10 millennia, the Imperial Fists have defended the Sol System and crushed the enemies of Mankind all across the galaxy from aboard their matchless star fortress, Phalanx.

Siege Masters

This ability is from the Space Marines Codex, but now with the Supplément you also gain :

Legacy Of Dorn

It's a good power but it's very restrictive: Devastator Doctrine, heavy weapon, targeting Vehicle. It allows IF to shred light vehicle with Sniper Bolter/Heavy bolter. Also your Heavy Bolter should be able to dmg heavier stuff with the help of some stratagems.

Warlord Trait

Surely my favourite one ^^ Also it's Lisander one ^^

Wrack and Ruin

18" is good range for an average of 3 Mortals wounds

The Eye of Hypnoth

Best used when stationed near your Repulsor Exec so you can reroll that pesky one ^^

Praetorian's Wrath Stratagem

Yea meh :/

Tor Garadon

Classic captain but: Signum is awesome and his power Fist is scary ^^

Crimson Fists

Fist of Vengeance

Better than Kantor (The Frigging Chapter Master) Power fist (i have no idea why ^^)

That's it for the preview!

I'll do a Review this weekend (even if there not much left in the codex ^^)

/Cheers.
Bob.

Hello everyone !!!

Next White Dwarf has Rules for Sisters of Silence in Warhammer 40000 !

I know the rules are in french so here a small translation :

Chasseuse de Sorciers :
When resolving a melee attack against a psyker you can reroll the wound roll.

Abomination Psychic:
This unit can't be targeted or affected by psychic power. Also Psychic Test or Deny the Witch test suffer -1 for each units from your army with this power within 18" (max -4)

Dame du Néant :
If your warlord have Imperium keywords (unless fallen) you can include this unit in a vanguard detachment with QG restriction changed to 0-2 and bonus : None.

protocoles D'accusation :
Sniper against Psyker

Rest of rules are standard stuff

/Cheers.

Also coming with their codex the upgrade sprues

Primaris Upgrade sets

Thunder Hammer unlocked ! ;)

Adrax Agatone

Tor Garadon

Both new Primaris Captain are awesome and their rules are very good so perfect !

Impulsor

Impulsor is very good and allows a lot of neat tricks but....Still not a %£µ%µ£% RHINO !

Infiltrators and Incursors

Both are Tech picks and could solve Meta issues and they count as troop so very good again. Even if honestly they are not very inspiring.
These models are a lot more SF than usual and even remind me of INFINITY.

/Cheers.

Hello everyone !!!

Today goes on pre-order Phoenix rising the first chapter of Psychic Awakening.
Psychic Awakening is the Warhammer 40000 campaign dealing with the aftermath of the Great Rift cutting the galaxy in two. This review will first look at the fluff and then the rules added to the differents Eldar Factions.

Introduction

Phoenix rising book is 80 pages long with hardcover. The quality is normal GW so nothing bad to say. There is a lot of illustration in it (old and new) making it a very good looking object! The rule section cover both Eldars and Dark Eldars only Harlequins are left out.

Fluff

To me, the fluff is the most interesting part of the book and Games Workshop hyped it quite a lot. I don't want to copy all the story in the book but here are the juicy info, skim down if you don't want to be spoiled

• Book confirm that you need the 5 Crones sword from morai heg or kill all Eldars to revive Ynnead


• Last (5th) Crone sword has been stolen by Slaanesh and stocked in his palace


• Yvraine admit the mass suicide is now the only way (i am not sure yet)


• 5 or 6 pages of details on what are doing famous Craftworlds


• Shalaxi Helbane and Syll lead a Slaanesh Hunter party to kill Yvraine and the Avatar


• Dark Eldar are close to civil war as a lot of them join Yvraine


• Vect sent Drahzar to kill Yvraine and was very very close to succeeding but Jain Zar saved her


• 1 harlequin exiled from Cegorath join the band, accompagnied by a Human Female Psyker in Black power armour (and white hairs). The human has super strong psychic power, they also warn Yvraine of a new foe



• Yvraine group is now 5 Champions: Jain zar, Visarch, mysterious exiled solitaire, Lelith Hesperax


• Multiple fights happen on Exodite Worlds to save them from chaos (3 Phoenix Lord fight together there)


• Lots of Eldars are gaining more psychic power since the big rift


• Dino riders are mentioned multiple time


• Exodite ride to wars with the Eldars now



• the Last Stand happen on Iathglas a Hexodite world with a lot of spiritual power


• Big fight Dnd fight happen, the 5 champions vs Hellbane, while a bunch of other Eldars sacrifice themself to hold the Slaanesh horde


• Jain Zar start using the power of the dead to buff her now


• , In the end, Shalaxi Helbane is banished but it was only a shard of his power and he was only having fun.
  Wtf? he was super close to winning vs Jain zar, Vizarch, avatar, Lilith, solitaire (KIA) and Yvraine and it was only a "glamour of his real self". Yea sure, why not just coming for real and delete reality


• Story close on Eldars factions blaming each other

Fluff Conclusion
The story was nice even if the ending was a bit of a letdown, still not sure about the Title "Phoenix Rising". Still It gives a good idea of what Eldars have to do now. Also, I am pretty sure that the mission "Save the last Crone Sword from the Slaanesh Palace is happening onde day"

Rules

3 parts here, Craftworlds, Dark Eldars and Ynnari

Craftworlds rules

• Updated Datasheet for Jain zar and the Banshee

Banshee are 13 points , jain is 115
• Each sort of Aspect Warrior Exarchs get to choose new powers. You can exchange the standard power against a different one from a list of 6. All temple also have stratagem to stack 2 Exarch power .
• Rune of Power: New Psychic Discipline representing Eldars getting new minor powers that are easier to manifest
• Create your own Craftworld with these new attributes. Choose 2 from a list of 22 and build the one you like the most



• Runes of Fortune

Instead of Smite, you can choose one from the table below :
-Reroll one roll
-add 2 Dmg to one psyker weapon (oO)
- Bonus + 2 charge rolls (hello Banshee !)
-Roll 3 dices on a 5+ deal one mortal wound (characters only)
-Bonus 2 for unbind spell
-Force one enemy unit to shoot at closest target unless the target is within 18" (trash^^)

Drukhari rules

Dark Eldars get updated Datasheet for Drahzar and Incubi. Like the Craftworlds cousins, they get traits to customise their: Kabals, Cults, Covens.

• Drazhar and Incubi

They are now at 16pts and 120pts. Drazhar was already spoiled and he's a beast in melee if he can connect.

The master of Blade power is super strong allowing Incubi (and Drazhar as well) to wounds more reliably

• Obsessions

There are 3 lists of 8 Obsessions to choose from and you select 2. One list for Kabals, one for Covens and one for Cults.

A bit of everything in these lists, still i think you'll be able to customize your force to your liking.

Ynnari rules

Children of Ynnead allow you to field a mixed force of Eldar under the banner of the God of Death! Or mix the Trio into a Craftworlds, Harlequins, Drukhari army!
The rule is so complex that I prefer to post a full image of it (have fun ^^)

Good luck with that one ^^

Also you gain :

• Objective Secured for troops


• Strength from the death : +1 to hit and fight first in a turn you lost an unit.


• 6 Ynnari Warlords traits

*Fnp5+ and heal 1 each turn
*+1A & +1S while Strenght from death is active (yvraine)
*5+ cashback on CP spent and 1 rr per turn
*-1 or -2 to LD within 6" (Ycarne)
*pile in 6"
*6 to hit score 2 hits (visarch)

Decent list, Fnp5+ is interesting or maybe warden of soul to 1 A and 1 S on your general (Solitaire ?)

• Revenant Discipline, all psyker in this army must select from this list

Gaze of Ynead : 1 , 1D3 or 1D6 mortal wounds
Storm : 3d6 per enemy psyker around on a 6+ 1mw
Word or the Phoenix: Heal D3 or revive one model on a 4+
Unbind Souls : Debuff one target unit, reroll wounds against it for friendly Ynnari
Shield of Ynnead 5++ for units within 6" (ho yea!)
Grace : Buff, target friendly unit reroll 1 to hit.

Gaze, Shield and Unbind souls are very strong and will help a lot.

• 2 pages of stratagems

The Ynnari army looks interesting but to be honest, my Eldar List Building is quite weak. I have no idea on how to build an Eldar army (except Flyers spam of course ^^)

That's all for the review of this small campaign book. It is a must-buy if you play Eldar and still quite a good read if you are interested in the fluff.

ps: There is very little fluff in this book about Drazhar and Jain Fight. So I don't know if she was raised from dead by Yvraine if she won or if the fight was interrupted and the fluff didn't progress (like usual ^^)

ps2 : I'll complete the review tonight with more infos, (running late right now)

/Cheers.
Bob.

Hello everyone !!

Phoenix Rising go on pre-order this weekend (expect a full review Saturday) but for now GW revealed rules about Jain Zar and Drazhar

Jain Zar, the Storm of Silence

So, insane threat range, immune to overwatch, decent damages, some survivability with 6w, 5++ and -1 to hit. A cute ability to gain attack based on the number of models within 2'' after all pile in. And always fight first. Depending on the price it's a very good beater/assassin.

Drazhar, Master of Blades

For Drazhar, Insane dmg output thanks to murderous Assault and master of blades. Good survivability with a 5++ and a 6+ fnp. Off course, his threat range is a bit low but if he connects it's showtime !

Phoenix Rising Review this weekend !!

/Cheers.

Hello everyone !!

Huge amount of details have been shared by GW about the first chapter of Psychic Awakening : Phoenix Rising.

Phoenix Rising has a system that enables you to create your own Craftworlds, Kabals, Wych Cults and Haemonculus Covens! As the Successor Tactics from Space Marines Codex you can choose the one you prefer.

if your Craftworld, Kabal, Cult or Coven Detachment of choice doesn’t have its own associated Craftworld Attributes or Drukhari Obsessions, you can now choose two from those listed in Phoenix Rising

Craftworld Attributes

22 Craftworld Attributes to choose from

3 exemple of Craftworld Attribute.

Book will also include some stratagem ie :

New Exarch Power :

Even a new Psychic Discinpline : Runes of Fortune

As Craftworld Eldar the dark one also get their own chapter tactics: Obsessions !

Kabal Obsessions

Wych Cult Obsessions

Great idea to give Cult Trait !

Haemonculus Coven Obsessions

Off course Coven get some loves too !

Holy shit MW on a 5+ for each model oO ?

Note : Master Torturers halves the Command Point cost of the Torturer’s Craft Stratagem (+1 to wound).

Lots of cool stuff, it's quite cool to have a the 2 sides of the Faction in the book.

/Cheers.
Bob.

Cover of the Codex

The cover is cool but again the face is very weird :/ I don't know why but I am not a fan at all of the face of the different models/arts.

Arco-flagellants

yea very Grim Dark ^^ they look cool!

This art is awesome !!

Arco fluff :

What Are They?
In the grim darkness of the far future, it’s really not a good idea to upset the Ecclessiarchy.** To be sentenced to arco-flagellation is to become little more than a weaponised, utterly berserk killer. Over the course of a long, painful process, the convict’s mind is wiped, replaced only with an uncontrollable urge to mete out violent destruction upon their prey. In fact, this process is so effective that Arco-flagellants must be subdued by the pacifier helm rooted deep in their nervous system and cerebellum to render them docile.***

When unleashed in battle, a trigger word is uttered, which not only deactivates the pacifier helms of the Arco-flagellants but floods their bodies with a murderous cocktail of stimms and combat drugs. No sooner has the kill order been given than the pack of Arco-flagellants roars off towards the enemy lines with inhuman speed, tearing through their hapless victims in a destructive whirlwind of cybernetically implanted flails.

Repentia Superior

These fearsome matriarchs are tasked with overseeing the Sisters Repentia in battle, ensuring they stay true to their vows by taking the fight to heretics without fear and with the Emperor’s name on their lips.

Love the painting on this one.

Conclusion

Yea the army look cool, i know everything is mono pose but it's just the start of the new Sisters Of Battle line of product. Lots of cool kits should be added.

/Cheers.
Bob.
