They are mostly current with the relevant 5th edition codeces, with a little FW spice remaining. This includes an updated Armoured Battlegroup list.<br /><br />I suspect 3 and 4 next, with 5 and 6 to follow. 7 as stated is already current.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-51467497970194736482009-09-02T19:43:42.401+01:002009-09-02T19:43:42.401+01:00Thanks!

Now I've finally gotten a hold of UPS and it will go to work tomorrow.<br /><br />I never paid for UPS though maybe that was the only option, I took the cheapest shipping option.Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-42303155236132090882009-09-02T14:11:49.108+01:002009-09-02T14:11:49.108+01:00In Siege of Vraks Part Three a Chimera is 55 point...In Siege of Vraks Part Three a Chimera is 55 points and plague marines are a standard elite choice n- you could field up to 60 in a codex legal army.<br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-73756471942115305592009-09-01T23:09:07.751+01:002009-09-01T23:09:07.751+01:00You can kinda tell by the price of a Chimera.

They used to be 85 points which came with some guns but few upgrades now I think they are 55 points with a lot of upgrades like spotlight included but also with more gun options that used to be Imperial Armor only are in the IG Codex.<br /><br />I don't have any of the relevant books in front of me. But basically the Iron Fist squad seems to have left the new IG Codex but was in the Vraks 2 list I believe, it was definitely in the older lists...<br /><br />I don't care much, because I'm running rebels because it will be cool and look very different from everyone else, it is the painting and dollars that worry me a bit...Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-91150458798758362532009-09-01T20:43:20.362+01:002009-09-01T20:43:20.362+01:00dear Muskie

I play Nurgle so the list interests me. The first list only has one CSM squad allowed... You can have three I think in the second two lists.<br /><br />I'm intersted in the rules for Plague Zombies and I'm disappointed that the Drones can't be fast attack for the Nurgle Renegade list. They are fast attack for the regular CSM list? That is still OK for me, but I won't be buying any this year or even early next year in all liklihood.<br /><br />I ordered the book and have plans to make a small nurgle renegades list, but I guess I'll run sentinals or hellhounds as my FA choice.<br /><br />Imperial Armour 1 & 2 were updated including their tank company rules, they changed the point values of chimeras and leman russes etc. Does the Vraks three renegade list have the old point values or the new inline with the new IG codex point values for vehicles?Muskiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328467370627934582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-31896440446456071922009-08-30T08:29:57.977+01:002009-08-30T08:29:57.977+01:00Dear Pacific,

There is little else apart from some notes in the Inquisition Codexes or the old Lost and Damned.<br /><br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-82693915707637819122009-08-30T08:27:21.501+01:002009-08-30T08:27:21.501+01:00Dear Angelic

I think this is because they are written by a whole range of writers from solid professionals to fanfic people.<br />I sold my first ever story to GW so I am not a disinterested witness.<br />JohnJohn Lambsheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598696442104566164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-24630139542119650532009-08-30T04:42:35.023+01:002009-08-30T04:42:35.023+01:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.bks2plzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968409410257799494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-74106530617599819942009-08-29T20:39:09.008+01:002009-08-29T20:39:09.008+01:00Thanks very much for the review John!
I love the...Thanks very much for the review John! <br /><br />I love the FW campaign books, as much for the background and artwork as the new rules and models, and might well consider picking up this one!<br /><br />These books are the only really legal lists for renegade guard armies - I think FW have been very astute in picking out a gap in the market after GW withdrew the Eye of Terror codex, and no doubt a lot more players would pick this up if it were not for the heavy price tag!<br /><br />In terms of picking up a book for a general and perhaps most comprehensive renegade list, which would you recommend? I already have book 1 but didn't go for the second one after hearing similar comments to your own when it was released.Pacifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16474407197167592680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4447293089931737000.post-84339673760224821672009-08-29T19:41:58.969+01:002009-08-29T19:41:58.969+01:00Nice reviews.

I haven't seen the books myself, but they sound fair.<br /><br />I'm very glad to know that I'm not the only one who gets really upset with the writing in GW products. Have you read any of the Horus Heresy novels? (They're the only GW novels I've summoned up the effort to read.)<br /><br />My feeling about the writing in the novels is just as you describe for these books. (Though some are much better or worse than others.)<br /><br />Angelic DespotAngelic Despothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908669415823243782noreply@blogger.com
