So what benefit are Teleport Homers and Locator Beacons going to have now that deep strike-alikes have unerring accuracy?

Strobe posted:So what benefit are Teleport Homers and Locator Beacons going to have now that deep strike-alikes have unerring accuracy? In AOS some units can deploy closer than >9". Examples: Vanguard-Hunters use an astral compass to deploy within 6" of any table edge but >7" from an enemy. The Hammerstrike Force battalion lets you deploy units within 6" of one of your own units, and there is no restriction on how close you can deploy to an enemy unit. Some units (such as Chameleon Skinks) can deploy directly into melee - no charge roll required. Chameleon Skinks can also leave play and redeploy anywhere else on the next turn. There are also some counter-deployment units like the Gryph Hound that lets out a warning cry when an enemy sets up within 10", allowing all your units within 2d6" of the hound to shoot at that unit immediately. I assume these kinds of mechanics - and more - will be applied to certain units and items in 40k. I could see homing beacons do something like "immediately move D3" after deploying from reserves".

TBF that's essentially what Servo Skulls in the =I= list used to do so I wouldn't be surprised if they kept a rule like it.

Just a combination of no longer having a steady hand and lots of detail, mainly the runes on the guns, gently caress those things. I really shouldn't be spending 8 hours on one terminator but here I am, doing exactly that. Otherwise they're great models but not the best to relearn the hobby on.

Thousand Sons are the CSM Legion that I would be most interested in getting eventually, so hearing these horror stories keeps me from getting them. Probably for the best, since I'm just now getting up past 1500 points of Blood Angels.

This is why I'm currently working on a Dark Angels Scout team for SWA that is partly composed of salvage models. Need to get the old hand-eye coordination going again.

quote:Subterranean Assault: During deployment, you can set up a Trygon underground instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the same time, you can set up a <HIVE FLEET> Troops unit in the Trygon's tunnel. At the end of any of your Movement phases, set up the Trygon anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. If there is another unit in the Trygon's tunnel, set it up at the same time wholly within 3" of the Trygon and more than 9" away from any enemy models. Any models that you cannot place this way are destroyed. FUUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSS I loving love Trygons and I hated hated hated how bad the reserves rules were in 7th making them totally wasted. This is actually GOOD. Turn 1 movement phase BOOM there's my trygon, bitch! TYRANIDS ARE BACK BAYBEEEEEEEEEE Seriously Trygons are like my favorite Tyranid model.

I wouldn't want to model ANY other CSMs right now. Those new Death Guard models look sexy as gently caress though, gonna need to pick up at least one kit of those guys

I'm not playing EC or any Slaanesh CSM really but I've got a kit of the finecast noise marines becuase NOISE MARINES, and I just got a fun kit from spellcrow that has some noise marine guitars for old school guitar marine action  http://www.spellcrow.com/guitars-with-hands-p-276.html I'd love to put them together as a SW:A kill team but you can't get loving noise marine weapons in that game  no way am I collecting a whole army of them, I guess I could try to run my whole CSM force as undivided instead of Tzeentch but eh...

So how are alliances going to work in 8th? I'm guessing any Imperial and any Chaos faction army can ally with itself, but.. Xenos?

I don't think it'll change much from how it is now. The 3 "Core" books exist solely to break the units up into categories, and Xenos sounded better than "other".

Tyranids and marines fighting together? Sure, whatever. Matched Play: You need to be Battleforged, which requires picking a faction allegiance based on the keywords in your scrolls. So you can have a CHAOS or IMPERIUM allegiance force, or be more specific with ADEPTUS ASTARTES or even more specific with something like THOUSAND SONS. Xenos can't ally with each other unless they share keywords. This means Imperium and Chaos will have the biggest toolkits available, but since there's a lot of synergy buffs in the game it may not be the best idea to bring a mixed force because your bonuses won't effect your whole army. Codexes will also likely feature faction-specific bonuses that reward sticking to your faction.

Battleforged rules say quote:The most common restriction is that all units in a single Detachment must share a faction keyword Wording leaves wiggle room for a small number of detachments without Faction keyword, but that's just speculation We literally know nothing.

Disclaimer: So I'm gonna do the thing that SRM and Sex Cannon told me explicitly not to do on the badcast, and that is wildly speculate based on the limited information I have available to me now Wouldn't frag grenades be more effective than a bolter against a T5 target now with the new wounding rolls? They both wound on 5+ but you would get d6 shots instead of 1-2? Did these oft-forgotten weapons suddenly become useful?
