Hey peoples, I'm back yay I know you all were having a great time without me. Any who after two weeks of hotel hopping and slow driving across Canada (thanks dad) I am here in Victoria B.C. and I am without a codex awesome eh. Apparently I missed the first part of our exciting *crosses fingers* new White Dwarf "codex" and have not had a chance to see a copy the store owners at the local GW gushed about it of course then happened to mention it was sold out, awesome eh. I've tried ordering it for warehouse but sold out means sold out again just awesome and my friends have had no luck either anyways I very curious and somewhat desperate after three weeks of taking paint stripper to my models and actually painting for once and would rather like to use said models and I'm hoping someone will know how I can get these rules without having to pray someone who's bought it is willing to sell it.
Also I'm curious as to peoples thoughts on it is it worth being annoyed that I don't have it? I hear they made the faith points system more interesting but alot harder to use as it apparently is a D6 roll know instead of a collection of accumulated points. I don't really care if the rules suck I'm not giving up the army now that I've actually started painting it and it cost a bundle, if anyone can help me here that would be awesome. On a final note my use of any who was deliberate and I plan to start posting pictures on the army soon if you've seen the previous I've worked on fixing the skin tone but still have no clue how to high-light or layer the black cloth to look proper. I stuck with the red armour but added more spot colours then just the white.

If you have only missed the first of the two WD's, don't fret. You're not missing much. It just had a rundown of the bestiary. The good stuff comes out later this month with the actual point costs and army list. IDK if the new faith system is as bad as everyone says... they kinda streamlined it and in the long run, gave you more faith. Instead of piling like 3-4 acts on one unit of seraphim, you now can reliably have up to six units 33% chance per turn!50% if you upgrade squad leaders or priests Changing the acts for the different units was also good for some variety and can make some nasty combos with the right characters IMHO. Be prepared to buy many a penitent engine....

I bet that they post a PDF of the codex a month or two after the second half comes out in White Dwarf.

Thanks guys for the responses but I got lucky a guy in my new group scanned me a copy I think the new faith is fine abit risky like the Exorcist missiles but then that forces you to use it wisely, I'm liking the new Celestine rules and I can see her staying in my army (as if I'd ever remove her).
