(Bangs head against table)
I call BS on...What!?!?<br /><br />(Bangs head against table)<br /><br />I call BS on this. Not saying the poster is lying, just that the left cheek at GW doesn't know what the right cheek is expelling in this case.<br /><br />Clearly, whoever edited the codices intended to do what they did, else they just would have put the old codices up verbatim. It took more effort to edit things out. And it's not like it would have made that much difference in GW's bandwidth costs to just put the whole thing up, pictures and all.<br /><br />So now we have a case where some armies will be legal -or not, depending on the whim of individual tourney organizers? Sounds like a deliberate FU to DH/WH players and a lazy, mealy-mouthed sop to everyone who cried about Mystics and unlimited range hoods.SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-51647306700023005472010-06-25T02:31:41.703-04:002010-06-25T02:31:41.703-04:00UH hum gentlemen:

They also clearly changed the formatting on a couple of pages and deleted entire sections of fluff/pics while updating the page numbers. <br /><br />So... They could have re-costed the vehicles, clarified the outdated induction options, and brought the special rules (smoke) in line with the current norm. But they chose not to.

And since they don't have a silence for Adobe PDF Creator, they just didn't scan in the allies page. Simple really. <br /><br />They also paid an intern to do it, and he didn't know how to use the copy machine to scan to PDF. It took him 3 months to figure it out.CaulynDarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556761303500891267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-62580884308241888942010-06-23T11:52:16.581-04:002010-06-23T11:52:16.581-04:00Oddly, with the lack of mystics and hoods and taro...Oddly, with the lack of mystics and hoods and tarot in non =I= lists, psykers get a bit of a boost, like Eldar and Tyranids...
