#News_LampPost #Warhammer40k И у нас новый выпуск бюллетеня по Сестрам! Сегодня немного про отзывы игроков о бэта-правилах из Chapter approved 2018 Если коротко: игрокам не нравится, что акты не работают, и гейм-дизайнеры будут пытаться сделать их более надёжными и меняющими игры, как будто это сам Император помогает им. Рандомное число выстрелов Экзорциста – плохо, потому что рольнул два - один не попал - второй не пробил - грустно, над этим тоже будут работать. И ещё Селестинок будут апать, потому что они выглядят блекло на фоне остальных отрядов из слота Элиты. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/03/04/battle-sister-bulletin-part-2-beta-rules-feedback/ "Battle Sister Bulletin: Part 2 – Beta Rules Feedback In our inaugural Battle Sister Bulletin, we took a look at some of the concept art that inspired the development of the range’s iconography. This time, we’re taking a look at their rules development… When Chapter Approved 2018 first hit the shelves, we asked you – our lovely community – to get your Adepta Sororitas on the battlefield and send us your feedback to help our rules team make them as fun and exciting to play as possible. And you have! First of all, if you were one of the many hobbyists that sent us your feedback, thank you very much for your help. Now that the worldwide playtest stage is over, the rules team are now in a position to write the finished version of the codex. That being the case, any feedback sent in from today onwards is unlikely to be of use to the development process, so for now, just relax and enjoy playing games with your beta rules as normal! Of all the feedback we received, there were three main areas in the beta codex that most people felt needed improvement. Acts of Faith Army-wide abilities are always an integral part of any faction’s rules, as they affect not just one, but most (if not all) of the units within it. That being the case, it’s especially important that they reflect how the army fights while giving the faction a unique edge in battle. In the case of the Adepta Sororitas, many of their units are able to manifest Acts of Faith, representing the divine will of the Emperor lending aid to his loyal subjects in battle. In the beta rules, each Act of Faith requires a Test of Faith roll to be passed in order for them to take effect. According to your feedback, the reliance on luck for the Acts of Faith to kick in has led to some games where these rules didn’t quite have the impact that players felt they should. The Plan: The rules team are looking to rebuild the Acts of Faith system from the ground up to ensure they are both more reliable, and can be used to impact key moments in the battle – just as acts of divine intervention should. You will be as the Emperor Himself, bestowing blessings on your units as and when they are most needed. Exorcist Missile Launcher The Exorcist missile launcher is a devastating weapon, as its profile in the beta codex certainly suggests. Despite having the potential to inflict a whopping 36 wounds, many of you felt that the random number of shots it fires hampers its effectiveness on the battlefield. Should you roll a low number of shots, then fail some or all of the hit rolls for your precious few attacks, it can feel a little disappointing. The Plan: The rules team are looking at how we can make this iconic, missile-launching organ a more consistent damage-dealing addition to your army. They have a few ideas already – heretics beware! Celestian Squads These veteran Battle Sisters are the fighting elite of the Adepta Sororitas, acting as the loyal bodyguards and sworn protectors of senior members of their Order. Even though they can be equipped with a selection of powerful wargear, your collective feedback made it clear that they struggle to compete with the other Elites choices in the army. The Plan: The rules team will look to add a thematic new ability or two to the Celestians to help them have more of an impact on the battlefield without sacrificing their role as sworn guardians of their Order. After all, just because Celestians are protectors first and foremost doesn’t mean they can’t dish out some serious pain! Well, we’d better stop pestering the rules team so they can get on with actually putting these plans into action! We’ll be back in a couple of weeks with some more Adepta Sororitas news. Until then, let us know what you would like to see more of in future bulletins on the Warhammer 40,000 Facebook page.
