Yesterday I held someone's copy of the new codex in my hot, slightly sweaty hands. He had been sitting not 10 paces away, with me playing my guard right next to him, for 4 hours before he mentioned it! (Muppet) What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's a tremendous item, and I know for certain that it's going to make the Guard competitive again. Sure, it's all pretty, but it's got teeth as well. Shifting the focus from the Command Platoon, and putting the heavy and special weapon squads with Infantry, means we have more opportunities to capture objectives than any other army in the game. On the flip side, I noticed that Basilisks can't fire directly now, minimum range of 36"... Still, bring on the griffons! ;D Saying that, on the same day I managed to hand a Necron player his metallic rear end using the old codex - the foot sloggers won the day!

I think you will find in the 5th ed rule book that ordnance barrage weapons have the option to fire directly ignoring their minimum range.

That's right. Also, if you are looking really closely, you'll notice that of the four Artillery choices available to you, two of them SPECIFICALLY state that they may not fire directly, and niether of those is the basilisk.

Hehe, I love these ranks we have from the number of post we've made. My guard commander's rank seems to go up according to whatever I have on my account. ;D
