New IG Codex

*cough*sputter*choke*

Hadn't seen all of this in one place before - looks like I'll have to do a major overhaul to my list.

IG Codex Rumors

Is it just me, or is anyone else worried that people will start bringing some way too powerful vehicles to smaller games?

Hmmm...by the looks of it (so far) the tanks'll be pretty pricey (pointswise) - certainly enough to limit their numbers: an interesting choice considering that the troops are getting cheaper.

But yes, I think some of them simply have too much potential power.

I guess we'll see, eh?

I'm not sure on that, yes we have some powerful vehicles but like most things in 40k, they're only useful in one particular way eg anti-armour or anti-infantry. Even the heavy artillery has some severe downsides in a normal game considering the minimum ranges. This combined with the high points cost and the fact that most of the tanks will be severely hampered by weapon destroyed results, I don't think you'll see that many.

It'll be guys with guns that win the wars.

Yeah, I think the high points cost will keep things somewhat in check, and make it more about the troops, but I'm sure we'll see some small points lists with some armor units that have no place being in a force that size.

Hopefully it will all be balanced enough so that it won't be a problem.
