For combat patrol, the requirement is a patrol detachment which doesn't have a spot for Lords of War. In the footnotes they did make an exception for knights, so it is possible the exception extends to other Lords of War as well. I wouldn't assume you can until the rules are out.

 Looks like one of the upcoming reveals is going to be a Hammerfall Drop Turret. Which just makes me think someone took the Starcraft Missile Turret and slapped on a couple of fireports at the bottom.

After spending a few hours looking around for a cheap way to get a heavy stubber model on my Leman Russ, I just hacked together the heavy bolter from a heavy weapons team. If I do it to more I might try to tilt it down or something as it looks a little unnatural. sitting there so stiff. Hopefully people are ok with it, apparently the only official heavy stubbers I could find are in the chimera kits. I might also use a trimmed down mortar as a hunter killer missile. With the new vehicle heavy weapon rules in 40k, it might be worth it to put a hunker killer on every single vehicle and just have 12 of them streak out on the first turn.

Looks like Empire of Man is winning in 40k. I haven't seen any Xenos for ages.. maybe some Necrons but they are historical pushovers. Even Harlequins have been subjugated and are now fighting in the empire ranks. Maybe GWs long term plan is to have everyone playing Marines in the end so they can re-enact Horus heresy and reset the timeline

Just wondering about the max of +/- 1 on the modifiers, does that apply to AP? So like do you think tau can still use the custom sept missile rule for -1 AP then also use an ATS for another -1 on top? Or is stacking buffs like that just not gonna be a thing?

Folks (rightly, mostly) complain about Space Marines getting more support than anyone else, but this makes them one of the last armies to get a dedicated terrain piece/building.

Do we know if the blast rules do anything for d3 weapons. Plasma cannon for example.

So if blast weapons lose the random factor on units of a certain size, is there any reason not to put my horde units in WHFB rank formations because I think they look cool? I guess terrain stuff would get squirrelly.

Some interesting stuff in there. I don't really know Necrons well enough to know what stands out on that side, so I'm mostly looking at the Marine sheets.

Looks like psykers have to manifest all of their powers before you can move on to the next psyker, that's new isn't it?

The really big change in an see there that's not been discussed is the fact the command re-roll is a) restricted to certain dice rolls and b) re-rolls the roll, not a single dice. Makes a lot of things that aren't too risky with a re-roll a lot riskier either without one or knowing you can't keep that 6 on 2d6 and re-roll the 1. Reading through the crusade rules they seem pretty in depth and I have to say I'm super hyped about it.

Fortification networks cost 1 cp but refund 1 if it shares a faction with your warlord - since you don't need to stack detachments for CP and this is effectively free, I wonder if you're going to see more of those oddball faction specific fortifications that never get used? Triple battle sanctum list, here I come! Kitchner posted:The really big change in an see there that's not been discussed is the fact the command re-roll is a) restricted to certain dice rolls and b) re-rolls the roll, not a single dice.

Neither is FNP or things like Big Blue's "I come back to life roll". Even the change from a single dice in a 2D6 charge roll to re-roll the whole thing is a huge change. If you roll a charge right now and roll a 6 and a 1, you know you can re-roll the 1 and get a 9 inch charge on a 3+, with the new roll it could be anything. Have to say when you look at a couple of these more subtle bits and bobs, I think melee is still going to struggle in 9th to be as good as shooting is.

I know some people here think it's somehow gatekeeping to say people should put a little bit of paint on their models and base them before going to events, but even I have to say it's weird to include that line in the standard rules. Like I totally see why having paid events tell people to at least put some effort into colouring in their toys makes the whole experience a bit more enjoyable etc, but if I'm playing a game with my buddy in a gaming club, am I really going to sit there and go "well adding up all the points you scored 67 and I scored 59. But I get 10 extra points because your new squad of Intercessors aren't painted yet so I won  "? No, of course not.I suspect it will be ignored outside of tournaments, though I'm going to organise a crusade group with my friends and may suggest we stick to it as an incentive to actually paint our models at least with some colour before we use them. If they would rather not though then I have no problem with ignoring it. Kitchner fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Jul 2, 2020 |
