My take on the new codex

uhh, chaos do not have combat squad options - thus there would only ever be an entire unit in a vehicle. In the case of any squad with a Rhino, the squad MUST be 10 or fewer models, otherwise the entire squad does not fit, so none can use the Rhino.

I suppose it does leave it open to a 20-man CSM squad still being able to take a Rhino and simply never using it as a transport though.
And at a 35pt vehicle with Repair that can block line of sight, I can see that being very useful.

Actually, just compared the Bezerker wording with the others and its appears that you're right, they do appear to be the only unit unable to take a Rhino if they number more than ten - strange but true it would seem. I suppose it's to reflect their lack of tactical thinking or somesuch.

not sure what to make of that.

am i being slated or absolved?

anyway - i know Chaos don't have combat squads, i just meant it was a case of a squad being able to take the transport despite being larger than the carrying capicity of the vehicle

being that im still new to the whole 40k game i found the codex very informative.

I really look forward to the Legion dexes. I miss the dedicated vehicles, hopefully they will make a comeback. I hope the new Daemon dex restores the character to greater and lesser Daemons. Overall, the 4th ed. is much easier to use than the 3rd ed. Could have been a lot worse!

every single rummor i've heard/seen has been made it pretty clear that the new daemon codex contains all the cult daemons of old!

cheers!

I truly hope the cult Daemons are not just rumors. I can't wait for the plastic Daemons to come out. Will Furies make a comeback, or are they gone? The good thing about generic ones is you can make them look the way you want, but I want some Nurglings and Daemonettes! Any news on dedicated vechiles Stitch? Overall, I think with the cult dexes coming out, the 4th ed. is not that bad. There are a few things I miss. I'd like to see more Chaos only vechicles, something similar to Attack Bikes or Landspeeders. I would love some plastic Obliterators too. I think the new dex is a lot more user-friendly. At first I was a little upset that it focused a lot on Renegades, but with cult dexes, I'm happy with it.
