Just like you, I am so, so sad our great buddy, Macharius, isn't in the 'dex.
Funny thing though. I made a Commander for my army months back and happened to give him a scroll. Man, I feel so special the GW made the orders and I already have them in hand (literally). Just like my friends dead space marine he made months ago, looks just like the new one with the bolt pistol.

I don't think that the wounded marine with the bolt pistol is new. I think it's a collector's model. Oh well, doesn't matter to me ;D
I am really excited about the appearance of Sly Marbo. He's awesome, and he's also the only guardsman with like 6 initiative! Booya!

wounded marines are new and collector's models...
sorta like the new wolf guard with lightning claws and the WHFB orc raider with looted pig.
Sly Marbo, awesome I just watched all 4 Rambo movies recently...(John Rambo, greatest action hero of the 80s by the way...and the new one is a barrel of laughs, espically if you like watching burmese get torn apart by heavy machine guns...good ol fashion fun.)

No, we know, at least I do. Of all people, why wouldn't I know? ;D anyway, Sly's sick, and will be a great addition to any army (mainly catachans), and also, do the new orders actually represent a wargear option, or are they just there for ascetic purposes? Plus; I didn't expect new rules, simply a new model, and a revival of his character (game wise, not like resurrection, though zombie macharius would kick ass) Those poor Burmese...

Awesome! I mean, it's not like I didn't already have this book marked, just that now more people shall join my cause (although I'm not sure exactly sure what it is)
Are there any pictures on the new Leman Russ, or Chimera models? I've searched but haven't found anything new.
Oh, yeah, and I just found out that Shrine world Macharia was destroyed. F***ing Horus!

WTF? I posted a thread dedicated to my new regiment, which is based on Macharia. Apparently, Macharia wasn't destroyed. And now mrman says it was devoured by Tyranids? I'm not sure who's right, and who's wrong.
I may have to start a new thread solely on this matter.

Why is Old One Eye mentioned in that PDF?
|

Post by Ymmot (M.I.A) on Mar 12, 2009 17:09:01 GMT -5
Because it was originally printed along with the original stats and rules for Old One Eye.

Ohh, I was very confused by that as well. If anybody has more info on the new codex (or Macharius), keep it coming.

I wonder if they'll let us take all carapace regiments and light infantry anymore...it would truly be a shame if Puffy lost his monian's ability to outflank and infiltrate, and Basaliskians Basaliskians (;D) weren't able to take an armour save against bolter fire anymore. That's one thing I'm worried about - loss of the ability to completely make a themed army. And even if they let us take 0-6 stormies (or units similar to stormies) it's not the same as a platoon of carapace guys. Stormies are different. Even if they let us (and this is a rumour I heard a while back) take 3 hardened vet squads as elites, and then 2 more attached to the H.Q command platoon, it wouldn't nearly measure up to Puffy's entire regiment of stealthers.
Who knows...we just have to wait 51 more days...

You could always use the old (well, it would be then) codex for friendly battles.

But the current 'dex wouldn't have all the fun new goodies! We can only wait and hope for it...

I just realized that I think the greatcoat rumors were started by people seeing the Greatcoat Cadian officer and jumping to conclusions. Any violent disagreements or enthusiastic agreement?

That's probably what started it. There's only one plastic great coat legs, and that's for the officer. There won't be anymore than that, and they're only in that one position, too

Hurm, that's too bad. Not that I collect greatcoats, or was planing to, but it would have been nice for all of those who do. Umm, I don't think this is a violent disagreement, or violent agreement.

Hmm with so many rumor threads I guess I will have to stick this here. Scroll down a little below halfway and some guy took a pic of the new IG dex armor section. Interesting little pic, it pretty much just re confirms alot of old rumors, but an interesting read none the less. www.heresy-online.net/forums/showthread.php?p=330485#post330485

That eradicator Nova Cannon seems pretty beastly. No cover saves and as strong as an assault cannon, but a large blast!? I like it!
