That wargear is actually quite savage. I think DA will be made or broken as a Legion by their RoW and unique units really.

The D3 victory points drawback is really, really rough and kind of forces you to spam a lot of units. That being said, with the ironwing ROW stock marines get a pretty huge edge against other stock marines in both CC and shooting which can be really massive and they get access to some really nasty anti infantry weapons between the plasma and the heavy bolters. I don't think they're necessarily the worst or whatever but they're certainly not the top of the heap. Also I think it's pretty funny that the little teaser for the DA was "combined arms!" and the two ROWs are BIKES and TANKS respectively.

Man I really like these Sons of Horus changes. Terminators get an insane buff, and even their Legion rules got buffed too. That +1BS to shooting within 12" is pretty cool, especially with all the outflanking and deep striking you can do. Really looking forward to dropping Horus and a 12-man squad of Justaerin to wipe out whatever they look at.

Also I spoke quite a bit with Mark Bedford after his "Painting Armies" presentation and decided I'll get an airbrush as soon as I've got my stuff settled in Barcelona. He basically hit on all points that I find demotivating, and the answer was 99.9% "yeah just get an airbrush". A badger patriot should be a good choice for keeping things simple with base coating, zenithal highlights and applying clear colors right?

Mango Polo posted:gently caress it, it's totally normal to whip out some bigass book in the departure section of an airport with a scary robbit on the cover and start taking pictures right? I'll be honest, this is more favorable than I expected. The Calibanite war blades are the same cost as power swords for sergeants and while the greatsword is limited to HQs it is only 15 points somehow, holy poo poo. I really thought the war blade would be 20-25 points while the greatsword would be 30-40. I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the plasma repeater though. It's really short-ranged and it'll only reach out to 6" if you move. Good luck pulling off three shots with a 12" range while immobile. A support or veteran tactical squad with these things will absolutely need a transport or drop pod. Stasis grenades are stasis grenades. The problem here is that I have no idea what units can even take those. I'm glancing through the legion list and I'm not seeing grenade launchers as an option anywhere. Maybe it's future-proofing, maybe it's a goof-up. It'll be hilarious if Dark Angels eventually get a special unit with loving grenade launchers just for these things. The missiles are a solid option though. Like others have said, the acid shells are awesome. It's too bad you can't give them to predators, but it looks like twin-linked heavy bolter dreadnoughts finally have their niche. Heavy bolter heavy support squads too. I feel like if you want to make full use of the unique weaponry you're going to have to run a fairly mixed force with veteran tactical, support, and heavy support squads. Regular tactical squads might not feature a whole lot and when they do it might be worth shelling out for their combat blades to benefit from the legion's dumb special rule. With all of that in mind, their unique RoWs suck, especially the Ravenwing one even though you can run an army of acid heavy bolter dickbikes. I think Dark Angels are going to be better off running a generic RoW instead. After seeing the wargear rules I'm warming more to the army, but I don't think that stuff entirely makes up for the hilariously bad legion rules. There were just so many interesting directions they could have taken the army and they didn't. It's sloppy and really feels like a missed opportunity. White Scars are the clear winners rules-wise as far as the new legions go. Hopefully the Blood Angels and Dark Angels get solid updates in the future.

Am I correct in reading veterans in this way: Salamanders have +1 str on flamers. So they become s5 base. Wounds on 3s normally. If I gave a vet squad sniper would they then be forced to wound on 4+ but get rending?

Lord Twisted posted:Am I correct in reading veterans in this way: Nay. FW has decreed that they wound per weapon strength for models with T4 or lower, and wound on 4+ on models with T5 or higher. They still get rending in either case. Edit: P. psyched that SW get their own list instead of using the base list.

In the wake of the Blood Angel rules I'm debating the relative merits of two tactical sergeant loadouts: Artificer Armour + Power Fist vs Artificer Armour, Power Axe and Melta Bomb. Both loadouts are 25 points. I'm leaning towards the axe because of the bomb's utility and the bonus on wound rolls, but instant deaths via fist are tempting. Can anyone convince me either way?

Being able to double people out is dope and your melta bomb will only be relevant against vehicles the rest of your squad can't do anything about.

Melta bomb is one hail Mary attack. Power fist has versatility and multiple attacks. Anything that you'd be forced to use a Melta bomb on (av 13+14) can be in theory harmed by a fist.
