Am Samstag ist es endlich so weit: Der neue Codex Tyraniden kommt in die Läden und mit ihm sicher eine ganze Menge neuer Spielspaß und verrückte Armeelisten. Ich zumindest freue mich und ich kenne mindestens einen anderen Turnierspieler aus Berlin, dem es auch so geht! Bevor wir in ein paar Tagen alle genaueres wissen, müssen wir uns bis dahin noch mit Fragmenten und Gerüchten über Wasser halten. Traurigerweise scheinen ein paar wirklich wichtige Punkte nicht im Sinne der Tyraniden auszufallen. So scheint das neue CC-Monster nur zu Fuß unterwegs zu sein, Schwarmwachen haben nur noch S7 und Sensenklauen verpassen dem Träger einfach DS6. Das alles garniert mit ein paar Reduktionen in den Punktkosten heißt wahrscheinlich: Mehr, aber schlechtere Modelle…Hier kommen die letzte Neuigkeiten in Sachen Regeln:
Neuer Schwarmherrscher gegen andere Nahkämpfer:
Let me put it this way, within an average of 5 instances each bad *** rival, mathhammered to averages:
- vs Abaddon – Victorious after two phases, with 1.08 wounds taken in return.
- vs Skarbrand – Victorious after two phases, with 0.78 wounds taken in return.
- vs Be’lakor – Victorious after three phases, with 0.67 wounds taken in return.
- vs Ghazghull Thraka under Waaagh! – Victorious after four phases, with 0.43 wounds taken in turn.
- vs Draigo: Victorious after four phases, with 0.33 wounds taken in turn.
Flangenebber via BolS:
- I can confirm there is no transport bug
- Points reductions pretty much as rumored on most big bugs
- No Yamgarl Stealers – There is a Yamgarl Bio Artifact but not for use on Gene Stealer
- No Spore as rumored
- No access to main rule book psychic powers as far as I can tell
- Gene Stealers largely unchanged so pretty much destined to sit on the shelf
- Biovores look to be slightly cheaper and far more effective
- Flesh hooks are available to Warriors & Shrikes – So can swing at initiative when charging into cover
