40K RUMORS: Grey Knight Codex Latest
Its been a little while since anything Grey Knight related has come our way in the middle of the deluge of Dark Eldar goodness. Lets take a look at the latest scuttlebutt:
Inq lords are hq and unlock ISTs as troops
ISTs are elite otherwise
ISTs can take chimera or valkerie as dt
Inq lord retinue looks more like ig command characters with some seritors thrown in
Temple Assassins one entry in elite, one stat line, options allow for customization into temple variants…but the actual temples are only mentioned in fluff, so some special rules look lost
Demonhosts look to be out
In troops we have ig conscripts…like an ig platoon, but conscripts only
Death cult assassins still elite, larger unit sizes, though
Penal legion squad in troops, different than ig codex entry
chimeras or valks as dt only, and only ig
Valk only dt, no vendetta option
Hellhounds in fast, same as ig, but not variants (Ed: ???)
Deathstrike launchers in heavy, same as ig…replacing orbital strike
You can see the earlier stuff here and here, but this latest seems to fit in with the talk of the Inquisition being toned down in general compared to the more full featured IG allies in the current Daemonhunters codex – making more room to highlight the Grey Knights themselves. Are you liking what you see?
