The Bee posted:Yes. It flat-out says (i.e. moving vertically is free for these models.) Still won't work. Page 182 clearly states that you can only target units within 12". If you are 9" away horizontally and vertically, then you are 12.7" inches away base-to-base and therefore out of charge range.

The Bee posted:I said at the very least 9.0000001" away diagonally. It could be 9 vertical, 0 horizontal. Or it could be 6 and 6. I don't expect you to be able to dive off of giant 2-foot tall encampments, but being able to lower minimum charge distance from a 9 on the dice to something more manageable is always nice. You also have to be within 6" of a board edge when you deep-strike w/ grappels, if you're going for a turn 1 charge, so that seems pretty niche. I do like the idea of finishing off a unit in melee and then batman grappeling to the roof of a nearby building and swarming on the shooters trying to control the high ground there.

Expensive though it may be, the Primaris Captain kit is really cool. Just now getting around to assembling it and I love the details. The greaves are a separate piece so you have really defined armor plates everywhere and the vambraces are a nice touch. I wish it were more customizable but at least it uses separate shoulder pads so I was able to switch those out with sculpted chapter pad and a pad and head from the sternguard kit. I also really like that the cloak is detached (like for the gravis captain) so that you can prime and paint it separately. Really looking forward to painting this up.

LingcodKilla posted:Wow. Then they really hosed up with the librarian. Looks great but the cloak conceals a lot of detail and some of the armor is extremely hard to get to deep in its shadows. Hem, that's a bummer. I haven't looked at my librarian sprues yet really but that kind of disparity seems odd. On the captain even the tabard is a separate piece which is great if you want to paint it separately as well. Admittedly the librarians cloak is much closer to the armor and less isolated so it seems like it would be way harder to do something similar. Some of the mold lines on the captain are loving genius, too. They flow into totally hidden areas in many cases. I also like that one of the major waist joins gets covered by the pistol holster. I'm really impressed with the spruce design.

SteelMentor posted:According to the PDFs on the Pre-Order pages, Deathwatch can take all those new goodies. My Imperial Fist insignias fit fine on the Reiver right shoulder, but it does take up most of the pad. The right shoulders are maybe 10% bigger than normal scout shoulders.

I am glad the tank wont be out on this credit card billing cycle. 2 of each, drat! I feel like 20 Reivers is a bit much. I'm still trying to get a full 2K together and as noted, Primaris are not super anti-vehicle yet so I'll probably run a squad of Aggressors and a squad of Centurions with meltas.

Strobe posted:So Intercessors can take Stalker Bolt Rifles (whole squad or just one per five?), but can they take Auto Bolt Rifles? Box mags > scopes. The miniature showcase seemed to indicate intercessors can take auto rifles: "Ultramarine intercessors carry a variety of bolt rifles, including auto bolt rifles." My guess is they'll do the same thing as they did with the Primaris Captain and have the bolter be modular with a gap in the middle you can slot in a normal mag, scope (for stalker) or box mag (for auto bolt rifle). It's a cool design imo.

Prior to release there was a lot of speculation in this thread regarding how quickly "new" GW would address imbalances and stuff that came up once the rules were in the wild and real people were playing. I think that squashing flyer spam so quickly is very encouraging.

One change I would have liked is having characters be targetable as long as they're the closest NON-FLYER unit. So you can't try to be clever and bubble wrap your lone character in your flyer spam list. I mean, even if there are enemy jets screaming by overhead, I can still pick out the lone enemy idiot on the battlefield at ground level.

http://imgur.com/gallery/0HJDg Some more pages I hadn't seen before. I really like the CF warlord trait, feels very fluffy and will make sending Kantor charging into a horde of orks or tyrannids extra fun. The Ultras warlord trait seems kind of nuts though, as long as he's alive you have a 30% of being refunded stratagem CP expenditures.

Pendent posted:BOLS claims the Repulsor is going to sell for $80 which is honesly better than I was expected. I figured it would be Land raider + one or more extra sprues, essentially. This is definitely the case, my store takes pre-orders (but not money) early, and it's 80 bucks. 35 for the characters again. Curious whether there will be an unhelmeted/unhooded chaplain.

Given that you can see the trigger guard, I've seen speculation that this is an inquisitors pistol (which would align better with grey knights being the next codex).

White Dwarf also advertises a new Ultramarines Primaris upgrade sprue. Similar to the old one with some cool bits but mostly this gives me hopes of similar upgrade sprues for other first founding/popular chapters.

Yes, I am specifically referring to the iBook enhanced editions in an iPad. Everything is hyperlinked, it's super easy to go from one end to the other and the screen is big enough to handle a full page without any zoom. If the alternative to physical was just plain ebook I'd say gently caress it and stick with the real thing. I still buy the real books because they're so cool but you can't beat the convenience of the enhanced versions.

I've been building mixed detachments (aeldari) and you can add sub detachments as part of the parent to mix factions that way and fulfill the force org reqs. I believe that was a feature introduced in the last month.
