Death to the 3+ armor save!

I am in full belief that since the space marine is the post child of the games workshop they have to build new army books to combat these battle hardened warriors. This being true with each new book that comes out there are more guns that are ap 3 and power weapons that eat marines up and wipe them off the board. A prime example is the blood angels codex they have the the baal predator which can have a firestorm cannon on it giving the tank that moves fast mind you. It is definatiely  a great way to destroy marines, but it is not the best way to the blood angels offer the furioso dread. This bad boy is able to munch through a marines squad in one round of  close combat. This being so older books are losing edge against newer books. A good example is the black templar, they have really one good list that is able to stand a chance against another 5th edition space marine book. I could put together just about any list in the blood angels book as long as i include the baal breds and furioso's those templars are going to be mince meat. This being said when you go to choose an army sometimes it is better to choose one that as a more current codex or is about to get a new one within 6 months. Doing this will bring a better chance for victory for newer players making the game a better experience over all.

  1. Two comments really...first of all I love that picture. The second I would avoid buying a codex that is due to come out soon as the changes they make lately can be ever so severe. What you get initially has a high potential of being worthless once the codex is released.
