Assault Squads

• Still not Troop Choices
• If Assault Squads remove their jump packs, they get a rhino, or drop pod for free!
• No discount for Razorbacks for Assault marines, in fact it isn’t even an option to take it as a transport, have to use a heavy slot to get a razorback for assault marines.
• Squad can take 2 Special Weapons and a Combi Weapon, regardless of squad size of 5 or 10.

General Squad Options

• Death company – 5 minimum, 15 maximum
• No restriction on how many units of Death Company you can take.
• Tactical Sergeants can dual wield pistols(?)
• Devastators can take Flakk missiles for normal upgrade points
• Honor Guard is basically Command Squads now, that can take jump packs and special weapons per model
• Terminators get Land Raiders as Dedicated Transports
• No terminator Command Squad
• 8 Fast Attack Choices – Three are bikes, 1 speeder, Rhino, Razorback, Drop Pods, Assault Squad

Reconfirmed that there is no force manipulation at all in the codex  Vehicles and Weapons

• Stormraven is Heavy Support
• Drop Pods are fast attack choices
• Baal Predators no longer Scout
