6th ED official discussion thread

hey guys,

Post everything related to the 6th ed discussion here, no rumors just facts. And combos you are thinking off here.

looking at that vid,

I guess csm players like me will rejoice... i can finally have my csm undivided tact squad paired with blood letters if the csm dex does allow us to summon our allies it will definitely bring back the combos to the table once again not seen since CSM 3.5

yea, the possibilities are endless. the question would be those ability whether does it confer to the allied units.

imagine having necrons get FnP from a BA ally.
Armor Save, FnP and Reanimation Protocol. Gay~!

imagine Eldar ally with Orks. Farseer casting Guide on a bunch of Lootas.
5+ to hit? nvm! re-roll to hit all! Gay~!

hahahha.. eldar guide on 5 plasma canon.... hhmm hardly miss.

yea man. damn crazy wei! Kindred has now been an official tournament instead of a hobby tournament. lolz

Kind of tricky with this:

allies:there is 4 classifications.

battle brothers - these allies are truly freinds and benefit from each othersuniversal special rules, psychic powers, and everything, they act as one force.

allies of convenience - these allies will fight together if they have a common foe, they do not get to benefit from each others USR or powers, and in effect act as independant armies on the table.

desperate allies - these allies only fight in dire straights and gain no benefit from each other. you must roll a d6 if the roll is failed your allies do nothing for the tunr as they are whatching you for betrayal.

not before the apocolypse - these armies listed here can never be allies.


allies is very random, tyranids have NO allies at all. everyone else can almost all ally in some form or another.

oh... that sucks. lolz. ok then. can only look for combo within battle brothers ally.

Would've been utterly hilarious to see Orks get Fortuned / Guided by a Farseer, or Eldar get raised from the dead by a Res Orb...

Here's the allies Matrix (said to be accurate):

wahh... BA and BT can be brother in arms.

Preferred enemy termies with furious charge and FnP.

Eldar and Dark Eldar... guide my 20 warriors with Duke.
That's 40 3+ re-rollable poisons!
Might as well play with Eldrad. DOOM and GUIDE to kingdom come! lol

Hei alvin i want to buys some of your BA la...hahahah make a Twillight Army hahahahha. BA & SW are brother in ARMS..ok fnp TWC.

Better still deathcompany with bloodclaw..with fnp.

yea man. twilight army will be one of the most powerful already.
4 USR rules. Accute Senses, Counter Attack, Furious Charge and FnP.
Add that with psychic madness from the wolves.

hihihihh... im starting to smell cheese.. hahaha..can use stormraven.

yes, but u can't fit beast into a transport la.

speaking of that, i can put my bloodcrushers on a landraider! lolz

We don't exactly know the full rules of allies, but I can tell you the allies matrix is accurate and someone posted the rulebook version of it,

Brother in Arms = Can join units + Use friendly psychic powers.
Grudging Alliance = Cannot join units + cannot use friendly psychic powers.
Unholy Alliance = Same as the above but if allied units are within 6" of your own units, roll a D6, on a 1 the allied unit? won't do anything.

This is probably just a simplified explanation so there maybe more to it.

if brother in arms can also share transports, there are many combo on this.

Then again, are we discussing real 6th ed. rules or just speculating on tidbits?
We should probably discuss this in the rumour mill instead of in this thread.

It's only 4 days away people, no need to put the things in stone now, hahah.

1) Sanguinary Guard + Tau Crisis Suits

This one I'm really looking forward to. Everyone's jumpy, the Tau have awesome firepower, and if you put enough shield drones on the Crisis Suits, they get VERY annoying to deal with. By the time you do, the SangGuard are in your face.

2) 12-18 Obliterators + Fateweaver + Chaos Bastion

Ugh! This one gives me heartburn. What's more annoying than playing against Fateweaver? Well, how about 3+ cover with re-rolls for one of the nastiest shooting units in the game? Add in some Bloodcrushers and... ugh!


3) Orks with 90 Lootas In A Bastion or Aegis Defense Line

Gonna happen. Gonna suck too. Especially if they can take a Farseer too. :/


4) Eldar Runes of Warding For Everyone.

This is actually a good thing, since Magic Psykers are going to be so LOL-tastic.


5) Blood Angels + IG

Decent of Angels + Astropath = 2+ reserve rolls for the 2/3rds of your jumpers that you put in a single reserve group. Fun!


6) IG + Grey Knights

Though henchmen were annoying? Now they get actual melta-vets.

Fortune + Shadowfield = You are all screwed.

lol yeah about that dann did you read the previous months white dwarft.. in campaign if your de lord kills a character and rolls 2 in a 2d6 he gets re rolls all 1 for armour save

i am sure there will be some balancing involved with allies, like the old 5th ed there will be a lot of deathstars at the start before streamlining back to the typical balance armies.

ya lor shadow field with rerolls is to much

Thinking of a Tau X IG alliance. Crisis Suits, Broadsides, and lots of tanks.

was thinking of an eldar-ork alliance..

orkdar!

Doom + Husk blade

...speculating is fun!
