Pendent posted:I'm actually surprised you're happy with this. More than 12 puts you outside of even rapid fire for bolters. Hopefully it works like Lord Arkos does in the FW Index, where he infiltrates more than 12 inches away during deployment rather than the first movement phase, which would be pretty good (and so much more vulnerable to going second but that's life.)

Id imagine it'd work like the raven guard if anything where its at the start of the first round before the first turn, so if you aren't going first you aren't just throwing that unit away since you can put it elsewhere.

Going to point out that that second round of shooting Stratagem is not EC only. It's Slaneesh only. Meaning EC likely have a different Stratagem exclusive to them.

I've decided to take Big Boys to the goon meetup, so that'll be 37 more big boys to paint up. So Reivers - knives and pistols or bullpup bolters? Was thinking of going with a 5 man squad of each, but is one a no brainer? I have a feeling it is knives and pistols as you deep strike into pistol range anyway. And they are AP -1.

Knives if you're going for a max squad, Tacticool bolters if you're going for 5 man harassment squads. Also decide if you want Grapnel Launchers or Grav-Chutes. Don't make my mistake and slap both on, gets expensive fast.

Apparently someone has a better photo and translation of the new White Dwarf. Here are the actual Chaos Traits. And yeah, Word Bearers do get the worst of it:quote:1.

This does seem like something of a kick in the teeth for Imperial Fists players. It's fitting, really, given the rivalry between those two legions.

That iron warriors one is loving brutal. That puts them at a rerollable 2+ against small arms when in cover.

The fists one is a direct counter to the iron warriors one though which is also fitting.

Corrode posted:Iron Warriors loving hell, it's going to be 3rd edition all over again I like the bonus for being in cover, because it encourages you to bring a fortification or two. chutche2 posted:Weird that they would give alpha legion the exact same one as raven guard, and iron warriors the exact same one as imperial fists except better. Yeah I'm not super-wild about it, but I guess it kind of fits a "stealth" image. Will depend a lot on what their strategem/relics are. THECHIRURGEON'S RANKING OF NEW LEGION TRAITS BASED ON THIS NEW PROBABLY STILL FLAWED TRANSLATION TIER 1: Good p much all the time 1. Black Legion (imo the most useful all the time) 2. Emperor's Children (good offensively and defensively) 3. Renegades (advancing and charging gives you a lot of movement) TIER 2: Situationally useful 4. Iron Warriors, if they re-roll saves in cover 5. World Eaters (Berserkers are already all-stars) 6. Alpha Legion (This could also go in Tier 3, probably) 7. Night Lords (sick with raptors and a cool way to make sure you finish units off in combat) TIER 3: Still decent but completely boring 8. Word Bearers (do Cultists get this too? I don't remember) 9. Iron Warriors, if they just get +1 to cover saves

Well, if that's the case, I'm absolutely using C:SM for Alpha Legion. Because why wouldn't I, when the C:CSM version is just "Raven Guard but without the great RG stratagem".

Iron Warriors getting a direct buff from cover is interesting, because it sort of goes with the hidden incentive for Fist players to get fortifications. Consider: a Fist player makes cover not do anything for opponents, which means that by bringing a fortification, you've turned literally any scenario you can think of into a siege scenario where your opponent has no cover and you are at an advantage as a defender. Iron Warriors might be able to get rerolls even if they don't get the bonus from cover, so they're a natural counter to each other, but then the Fist player also has a bonus to damaging fortifications - not just enemy forts, but also the ones the Fist player bought in case they're lost. So the mostly useless Fist secondary thing (marginally useful for shooting your own lost forts down before) becomes super relevant against their biggest nemesis, because they want to get forts too. If fortifications were cheaper/more viable this would be a hell of a series of gambits to try out. What's the word on units in buildings getting captain aura bonuses again?
