Letter to GW about our wishes and requests

The only thing that I think is missing, which I think was discussed, is that bloodbrides, being the wyche equivalent of trueborn, need the option to take a similarly greater number of special weapons in the unit.  I think this should only require one additional sentence in the wyche/bloodbride section.

I second this. This always bothered me a lot.

This is something I have seen brought up a fair bit before. I added it to the end of their section.

I think everyone has had the opportunity to add his name.

Let's send it already !

Could we emphasize how weird it is that auras(aurae?) don't work from open topped Transports?
A.K.A. flying balconies?
I think it is hinted at in the letter but not explicitly mentioned...

Having one last pass on grammar and syntax, then I'll pull to a PDF and send today

Is that a no?

They made it very clear no Auras in anytype of transports at all, even Builds/Bunkers they dont work.
No reason to even talk about it b.c its not a "DE" problem its the core rules.

Ok cool, thanks for clearing that up, still irks me though, as i have the feeling they just forgot open topped, oh well, probably time to leave the comfort zone then i guess xD

Yeah I understand but look at this from this PoV


Open top is extremely strong, when you vehicles can survive at times all game and your dudes inside are fully protected, it can be a game changer.


I swapped my SoB to all Repressors (open top Rhino's) b.c its stronger than their AOF rules (AOF is the Ynnari rule but you pick at the start of each turn to do 1, then 1 per each 30pt character and 1 for ST. Celestine).

As you would guess Ynnari Space Marines would be strong right? Well not as strong as Open top Rhinos. Now imagine i could Double Shoot out of those RHinos with Re-rolls using 6 of any combo pf Melta guns, Flamers or HF's, Storm or Heavy Bolters.

The entire game would have to be re-balanced at that point.

We complained about the fact that that rule made it impossible for us to use Auras. I think it's pretty clear.

I'd rather see them keep that rule, but understand that giving auras to our HQs is pointless (except for CC), and thus give our HQs OTHER means of helping the troops.

Thats why i talked about SoB, their main army wide rules Acts of Faith doesnt work if your in a vehicle, thats like DE not getting any benefit from PFP until the turn after they get out of the vehicle (b.c thats how AoF works currently).

Have we considered asking BoLS to post up our letter in case anyone else wanted to support it?

Email sent - Facebook posted. It won't show on FB till after someone approves the post of course, but I'll let you all know what I hear back

To all; feel free to share this around as much as you can/want to

Awesome sauce !
Thanks a lot to you, Faitherun, as well as to anyone that has participated in this project !

Neat little tidbit: I never said the forum name in the email I sent. The only way they'd know it is if they read the letter

And now... We wait. Thanks everybody.

thanks guys! this is amazing. now let's hope they didn't already write our codex XD

It's up on their site

Now it's up to everyone to start sharing it and getting it spread so they can see what is said etc.

Thank you everyone for your hard work on this!

I regret not being in the dark city recently.

I love that letter! Awesome sauce.

Have we received any feedback from the letter yet?

They asked us to email it to community@gwplc.com

No response yet. They check that mail weekly.

FLG responded

Well, we could bet at this point that we weren't going to see a codex this year as GW tends to do bundles in December and we have a good idea of what codex will will see through November.

I'm down for the wait.
