via Iuchiban on Warseer!
First the big stuff!
- Death Company is now elite as DC dreadnought
- Predator Baal is Heavy Support
- Librarian Dreadnought is HQ
- Mephiston is HQ and IC
- All units have now Furious Charge
- Only troop choices are Tactical squads and scouts.
- No new units. No Centurions and no talons.
Unit Tweaks
– Dante’s Axe is +2S, AP2, mastercraft and NOT unwieldy, and he’s Eternal Warrior
– Special rules for Death Company: FC, Fearless, Relentless, FnP, Rage. They cannot reroll to wound if chaplain in the unit. Only Astorath gives them this ability.
– No terminator armour for DC. But there are good news, Jump packs are now only +3 points. On the other hand their WS has been downgraded to 4.
– No squadrons for Dreads. “Standard” dreads are now Elite, Furiosos and DC dreads too. Librarian dreads are HQ.
– Tacticals As usual + new options. They can get anti-air missiles BTW.
– No more Land Raider as dedicated transports for everybody, just for termies.
– Vanguard Veterans cannot charge after Deep Strike
– Sanguinor pretty the same but: gets only 4++, re-rolls to hit and wound in challenges
– Sanguinary Priests costs about the same as a Wyvern, are HQ, and units they joins get +1WS and FnP. The are IC btw.
Fast Vehicles
– Rhinos
– Razorbacks
– Baal Predators
Detachment
Mandatory: 1 HQ, 1 Elite, 2 Troops
Optional: As usual, but 3 additioanl Elite (Total 4)
Special rule: +1I when charging, all the army, any turn. I see in the pictures of the codex there is nothing coming after the termie kit. Librarian is separate from the kit.
~ The VIIIth Legion is back!
