Reecius is talking all about the upcoming Astra Militarum in 8th Edtion. He assited with the playtesting of 8th, so he should know. Here’s what to expect:
Look for a total redo of the entire range that will bring even the old “obsolete” units back to the tabletop.
Improved units:
Scout Sentinels – Improved (???)
Bullgryns – Improved in assault
Rough Riders – Improved in assault
Heavy Weapon Squads – Improved firepower
Commissars – Minimize effects of bad morale tests, keeping your units in the fight for longer.
Ratling Snipers – Ability to target enemy characters.
Leman Russ – T:8 Sv:3+ W:12, Movement begins to slow after 6 wounds.
Orders:
7 Orders to choose from.
Orders work automatically.
Sample Order: ‘First Rank, Fire! Second Rank, Fire!’. Las-guns(including hot-shot) fire as Rapid Fire 2 – so 4 shots per model at half range.
~ It’s going to be a very different world out there!
