I was talking about dealing with the other 25 or so armies in the game that you'll be playing against, not your own army. With every random unit getting their own special little rules, you either have to stop the game and say "show me where your rulebook says you can do that" every time your opponent rerolls, lands mortal wounds, etc, or say fuck it and take them at their word which in this community is asking for trouble';

'>>92604319
No. As much as I shit on OPR for being basic as fuck, I think they actually do morale well and 40k should do it like they do. Basically, if a unit fails a morale check, they become "fatigued" which means they will now only hit on 6+ regardless of their stats and they auto fail any other morale checks until their next turn. And if they have to take a morale check again the unit is removed from the table to simulate them fleeing in terror from the battlefield.';

if true. GW really does hate the FW stuff, jetbikes and the V. Dreadnought. But who knows maybe custodes with an extra unit of X will be a working army. The question is, is it going to be the way of working DA and Ad Mecha have their working lists, aka borderline unfun ? At least the army isn't super expensive (for those that don't want to run 2-3 calladius and/or Rex), unlike Ad Mecha or DA.

big condolances to all the guys that bough more then 5 guards though. if someone has 30 and 17 bikers seeing something like this, following the custodes codex, has to sting. IF THE NUMBERS ARE REAL.';
