Well just thought people might be interested about how the new guard codex is lookin. I was talking to Pete Hains so here s a couple of little bits.

1. You will now be able to design your own regiment rules. Basically how it works is you can take about 4 abilities from a list options which will effect the cost s of certain things. There are going to be about 30 different options so plenty of choice (though certain abilities carnt be combined). Here s a few of the abilites i remember:

Jungle Troopers: +1 Cover Save, but only 6+ normal save
Karskin: Storm Troopers become troops, there only now 10pts as well now
Iron Will: Gives the same sort bonus that Death Korps get at the minute
Cavalary Troopers: Rough Riders become Troops
Sanctioned Psykers: Same thing as the cadians get in the eye of terror codex
Heavy Troopers: Normal Troops can buy Carapace Armour
Sharp Shooters: Same thing as the cadians get in the eye of terror codex
Inflitrate
Drop Troopers: Army can deep strike if its allowed in the mission

2. There will be rules for 12 different regiments, they will use a certain combination of abilities but will get certain other benifits.

3. Ogyrns are now cheaper and can now be take in units of 10 and will have better rules for the ripper gun.

4. Rough riders have been vastly improved to make them more affective.

5. Veterens now will cost 8pts each

6. The Exterminator and Griffon are now being drooped from the list, though they will still allow people to use them, its because GW no longer wants metal and plastic tank kits

7. There are going to be new guard plastics and a new plastic Demolisher

8. The basic cost of Guardsmen will stay the same

9. Tank company isnt coverd in the codex but they will get there own codex at a later date.

Plus

10. The chaos codex reprint with the new obliterator T4 (5) will hit the shops in october, coviently after the eye of terror campain.

11. 4th edtion will be out for xmas 2004, before then there will be some new tank rules. From what i found you will now be able to move and shoot ordance but it will scatter 2d6 it you dont role a hit. Also the preferd option to counter rhino rush at the minute will be to dissallow the +1 A if you charge out of closed top vehical.

Blood Angel Rush? en tiedä. Browning Automatic Rifle on ainakin BAR normaalin nautintolaitoksen lisäksi
