The main thing "wrong" with the 4th ed book is not in itself, it's in what came after it, making it struggle against newer releases.<br /><br />Within the codex itself, there were some imbalances and disconnects, like Plague Marines getting FNP, fearless, etc. but a Nurgle lord not being able to get FNP and terminators not being able to get FNP or fearless. The Cult Troops were more advanced than the guys that led them. Oblits were awesome, almost mandatory if you wanted a power list. <br /><br />Some mechanics especially suffer in 6th, like icons being even easier to snipe out.<br /><br />That said, on its own, it's a great book. Tons of options, ability to make all sorts of armies, cult, aligned, unaffiliated, or a mix. Great kits to go along with it. For just building and having fun it's a fantastic book.<br /><br />2) Looking forward to cultists, and seeing what kinds of armies can be made with the new book. With Daemon or IG allies, plan to have fun with various Lost and the Damned type builds. <br /><br />3)I'm hoping for some measure of external balance, so that CSM are competitive but not overwhelming. I'm really hoping for serious internal balance, so that choices are hard to make and that you can't flip through the book once and immediately pick out the no-brainer units and choices. I'm hoping for the start of a trend where the codices take advantage of what 6th ed offers, like extra warlord traits and so forth.<br /><br />4)I plan on CSM to be my main project for a while, reworking old figs plus new kits into the Endless Ones, a big mix of renegades and traitors so I can do a little of everything. A big Nurgle component is pretty likely too.<br /><br />sonsoftaurushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466971377569066201noreply@blogger.com
