I recently purchased the legion of the damned codex ebook and I have a Is my original e-mail and the GW response Via a Reader here on Faeit 212 (I do not have permission as of this moment to post the readers name.)ДЄfter some arguments on forums/groups/youtube comments I e-mailed GW, here Here is a response to a Reader's email from the Games Workshop. The Legion of the Damned is one of those armies that many people have looked at, and wanted to be able to do this, but the rules as they are written do not allow for it. It instead makes this product for collectors only, and if you can afford the Finecast Legion models I am sure you can splurge for the codex.We have been talking mini-dex's for a long time here on Faeit 212, and back a year or so ago, we were told that these releases would be meant to be fielded with another army, but often could stand on their own.

The highlights are the missions and fluff, but that doesn't make a codex. The Legion of the Damned Codex isn't what most people hoped for, but if you have a love affair with the Legion you could do worse. The final section to the book is the Glossary, which by now has you feeling like you already read it a few times. Mysterious Objectives are used, but only reveal the useful bonuses. The battle is dramatic, taking place on the flagship of the Imperial Fists above Terra. The third missions is a showcase of many digital materials, with you fielding Sentinels of Terra, Legion of the Damned, Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, and Be'lakor. Lelith gets poison 2+ and special slaves with Outflanking. The great thing about this mission (unlike many army specific missions) is the opposing faction has fun stuff. The second mission is Hunter or Hunted has the Damned saving Black Templars, this time from a super-sized Lelith. They're supporting fragments from other forces, so having a small allied detachment the Legion comes to the rescue for makes complete sense. Frankly, it makes fluff sense that they don't have it the legion comes in the final moments to turn the tide of battle. They just didn't forget to give it to all Legion of the Damned using the codex all the time. It means GW actually gave some thought to this. The important part in this missions is the special rule Aid from Beyond for the Legion of the Damned, allowing the Legion to Deep Strike on turn one. Orks have to kill the Ultramarines, the Legion of the Damned have to keep them alive. The three missions here are very specific and look fun, and you can adopt ideas for use in other narrative adventures.Дeliverance of Andraxes has Tigurius needing some spectral help from rampaging Orks. The next part of the codex is the Missions called Echoes of War. The Apoc formation is actually pretty nasty because of Spectral Horrors: All enemy models within 12' suffer -3 to Leadership! Unless your facing up against Destroyer weapons, Legion of the Damned are better than most for survival on large-scale battlefields.ДЄfter the rules is the Showcase, with images you can find on the GW webpage, making it complete filler. Intertwined in these theories are stories of the Legion of the Damned exploits and the section ends with the customary time line of their great deeds.

The oddest theory is the legion is a reimagined lost Space Marine chapter, with some mad case of Warp Herpies, and would rather play the martyr then infect others. Another one is the Emperor himself is manifesting these marines the same way the Chaos Gods spawn daemons. You have the zeitgeist theory where the legion is a mass hallucination brought by the latent human psychic energy around a dire situation. The other theories for the legion are imaginative. The key though, and runs throughout the entire book, is the Legion of the Damned always arrives the last-minute to turn the tide of battle this is important to keep in mind when I get to the big whine fest about Deep Striking. You get the Ordo Chronos or as I like to call them Department of Temporal Investigations, trying to harness the temporal power of the Legion, thinking a simple five-minute interview with a DГa de Muertos Marine would do the trick. The focus is on the various theories about who and what the Legion of the Damned are. The first of which is titled Vengeance and Flame, and for about 20 pages is the fragmented history of the Legion of the Damned, this is a well-organized and enjoyable. The Legion of the Damned Codex is broken-down into about five sections. This biggest complaint though for the Legion of the Damned Codex is the price point, ($16.99) for 71 pages worth of content and sadly, a good amount is summary of rules any Marine player will have. This supplement really shines in the fluff department and like the Cypher Dataslate has missions and rules that focus on the narrative GW wants players to forge.
