That was an 8th ruling. We'll see how 9th shakes out.

Many events have already adopted the smaller table size.

10 on the charge -- Hateful Assault. Try 'em out with Prescience, Warptime and Blades!

PA did wonders for Drukhari. Dark Techno and certain Haemi Cults are insane now. No clue on the "nearly" exceptions.

Yeah, but the "can't kill nuffin" issue may be solved in the Psychic Awakening release. We don't know which rumors pan out and how they interact with the new comtent forthcoming.

Good question. I'm not sure they need it, though. Aren't they already 3W T5 2+/5++ or somesuch?

Some rumors I have heard from about 3 different leak sources: Chapter Approved will: *Bump all "Cult" Troops to 2 Wounds, claiming this is due to the Cicatrix Maledictum supercharging "the most devoted servants of the Gods". Standard CSM with or without Marks now represent the equivalent of non-Primaris Marines. *Decrease Mortarion in points -- he's "manifesting more easily". *Bump "Cult Terminators" to 3 Wounds, with the same explanation -- they gain +1 wound from Terminator armor, and +1 wound for being good boys to their Gods. 3 Wound 'Shroud and Blightlords will be good times. *Possessed gain Disgustingly Resilient AND +1 WOUND. They are rumored to basically be a weird, "fast" version of Aggressors with no shooting. *Daemon keyword once again unlocks access to Daemon stratagems (this sounds weird, but could be true.) *Cultists drop to 4 points per model. *Poxwalkers drop to 5, and can be taken in squads of 30 or 40 -- rumor just says they increase in squad size and drop in points. *DisRes becomes nearly army-wide.

Too bad on the Forgeworld thing: Loyalist versions already get Chapter traits, so Iron Hands Leviathans already rock a FNP save. We need it for parity, tbh.
