6th ed White Dwarf (PW now AP2?)

The random: it hurts my brain.

Issue three-hundred and something of GW's-monthly-catalogue-and-Jervis-rant has pics of some of the new crap being flogged to coincide with the release of 6th, but intriguingly it also has some hints at new rules including psychic powers.

Wolves are able to take Divination, Biomancy and Telekinesis, as well as the powers in the Codex. Hopefully we'll still be able to select from the book while rolling for the ones in the BRB is another option open to us.

And that pic leaked a few days ago is of the rulebook, Mr Flood. It'll retail for £45 which will be €60, or more like €50 from a shop or even €40-odd from an internet retailer.

Who actually buys full-price stuff from a GW these days? Storm Ravens for €65?

Lol.


Now if only Chivite was able to translate this from Spanish for us, the lazy Portuguese bellend. Ah, it's in the link above? That's better and doesn't rely on my broken 'capable of ordering a beer and chips but not ask for directions' Spanish.

So Vortex of Death is S10 Ap 1 and I think a large blast but I can't figure out what Lore its from, nor what the bits on the left mean.

Just spotted this snippet over on Whineseer:

Codex: Blood Angels
- Librarians (including Mephiston) May choose to EXCHANGE their Codex Psychic Powers for the Psychic Powers found in the 40k Rulebook. If they choose to do so they may take 2 powers from the following disciplines: Biomancy? Divination, Telepathy or Telekinesis [B]before deployment[/B].


Codex: Chaos Space Marines
- Any model with psychic powers may use the psychic disciplines found in the 40k Rulebook instead of the C:CSM. If you choose to do so, for every psychic power that you have paid for from C:CSM you make take 1 psychic power from the following disciplines: Piromancy? Telekinesis or Telepathy before deployment. Models may choose to get their powers from different disciplines. Typhus generates 2 powers, Ahriman generates 3 powers. 

I got a bit excited about Ahriman throwing out 3 powers but having read earlier rumours about him being Mastery Level 4, this is probably taken from the FAQ/Errata for the current sucky Chaos 'dex.

And Boom goes the dynamite:

BOLS and Naftka have a whole pile of rumours that are now saying that Power Weapons are AP2. Things get curiouser and curiouser. Courtesy of the above:
