Rumors on the new Guard Codex??

[MadLarkin]

I actually like the hard boyz kill point system.

1 kill point per troops choice
2 per fast/elite/heavy choice
3 per HQ choice

and giving free points to the opponent if you don't include one of everything. This actually makes all armies about the same KP's and still doesn't over abuse the platoon system that much (which was a fear I had that guard would be unstoppable in kill points with this ruling) It essentially means the enemy goes after tanks and such as they're easier KP then the infantry.

Although this being said I can see how guard can still abuse it if they took heavy weapon platoons and Independent commissars (hiding 1 out of the 3 commissars in the back and still fielding a elite choice).

While this system isn't perfect I think its a step forward towards guard being equal in KP.

Maybe if they made officers in the platoon worth killpoints but not the squads or something.

KILL POINTS

So this seems to be a big point of alot people here... sure its damn hard to win when you've got 20+ squads on the table and the enemy has around 10+

BUT

This is only affecting 1/3 of the games we play... the other 2/3 games we have the advantage of having up to 36 scoring units... where the most others can get is 12...


Anyway... this thread is about RUMORS ON THE NEW GUARD CODEX.. not what we want to see in it.

[Marrius]

with doctrines being taken out Im worried about my ability to have carapace armour on my guardsmen

[Liffrea]

I would imagine squads will still have a raft of wargear options you can choose from.

Too all concerned,

I will at some point in the next few days post up a summary list of the RUMORED changes and another list on what we would like to see in the new codex.

Keep up with the good work and ideas!!
