Great!

The iron warrior link on the site goes to codex CSM pdf which does not yet seem to include the IW list?

I dread asking this (apologies in advance), however for clarification for those of us that have not been long time members of this forum,

Why is there an Epic-UK codex that is different than the NetEA Army List Compendium 2014?

i.e. (incoming major noob moment) why do we have more than one set of rules for tournaments?

Thanks in advance for your patience and explanations!

Because to be blunt, the netEA process is very slow to get lists balanced, approved and released, Epic-UK does closed development and releases lists faster, the lists are intended to be balanced for tournament play so often have the more fluffy elements removed, many are based on netEA lists with a few tweaks here and there

There is room for both and they provide useful data for each other, the EUK website has records of every army list taken by every player and how it performed, I'm currently developing the NetEA imperial fists army and hope to release it for EUK too at some point

The actual rules used are the same, it's the army lists and a few stats that are slightly different.

Can you try refreshing your browser as I think it's a caching issue. The version date of the pdf should be 070414 (bottom right of the cover page) and that is the version that opens for me and the Iron Warriors are in there?

just wondering like.... this list says whitescar bike formations have a 25 point reduction, the list says they're now 350.... IIRC they used to be 400 (they certainly are on armyforge) which is correct?

as I'm planning a whitescars army this is relevant to my interests....

They should be 375pts, the 350pts listing in the codex and ref is a mistake, thanks for the spot will fix it asap.

no worries

know what would be *really* helpful?

a summary of the changes from the various netEA lists used to create the new lists (Alaitoc, Yme-Loc, Iron Warriors and Space Wolves)

I'm hoping I can use those NetEA lists as a basis for writing the EUK lists for the armyforge site....

Also in the Yme-Loc list, is it correct that other than the single mandatory EoV host, there are no other options to take a single EoV troupe? seems like a big change in the context of the list

also, it seems like the storm serpent is a waste of points.... nothing can use the gate, wouldn't it make sense to remove the option?

edit: no Simon, it's not correct, and you're an idiot for thinking so....
