Post by: andalucien on July 23, 2012, 01:53:50 PM: So does "new" mean "new sculpt"? As in, new sculpts for all of these daemons?

WTF.... how am I supposed to save any money.

The items listed in yellow are repacked or redone in resin. The sculpts are the same as the old metal models.

The new White Dwarf, which is on the way here, has "tons of cool info on new Daemons." I was told "If you thought the flyer issue of WD was popular, this will be at least as popular."

Screamers: 29 pts, 2 wounds, 3 str 5 ap2 armourbane attacks, still jetbikes.
Flamers: 23 points (down from 35), 2 wounds (!!!!), still get the breath attack, but can also use warpfire (the attack that Horrors have) at BS4.

Bananas. Are daemons going to be the new Grey Knights?

No. Daemon troops are either awful or not-scoring.

Definitely the codex's biggest issue.

The Blue Scribes look almost exactly how I wanted them to. Just a little less manic.

Screamers might be the allies my Thousand Sons have been looking for to get that oh-so-nice AP 2 and anti-armor punch.

Post by: andalucien on July 24, 2012, 11:25:57 PM: THose new Plaguebearers look fantastic. It is like night and day with the old plaguebearers. Almost makes me want to rethink my "all my Nurgle stuff is rats" policy.
