Hi guys, I made a quick reference sheet for my white scars army showing the useful stratagems and abilities in each phase. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mXvgEz98EP8cCV6lzfHiW2tDW7nGRmPpRggoXljvFb8/edit?usp=sharing

Anyone else notice that instead of bikes being able to ignore the penalty for moving and firing with heavy weapons or advancing with Assault weapons we now just have a blanket "White Scars can advance and fire Assault weapons without penalty"? Probably it's because the movement rules only penalize INFANTRY for firing a heavy weapon on the move and Bikes aren't INFANTRY. That subtle change slipped me at first. It's not unwelcome but it does make WS feel a bit less distinctive.

So we discussed the White Scars chapter tactic getting updated to essentially include all units getting to advance and shoot assault weapons like normal, and just not bikes. My concern, and I found this really problematic in 8th edition, is finding balance. You want to put a lot of eggs into getting to grips with the enemy quickly, and turning it up a notch in T3. I found a lot of opponents actually hit harder. Lots of Chaos Marine builds, Wolves, etc, etc... but now you can add Death Guard, and probably of most concern: Custodes. So how do you find balance in that? I think lots of those opponents we can't run into. We have to widdle them down first, because if we don't we'll get chewed up pretty easily. A lot of our assaults come from mid tier troops, and they don't shoot well enough to take down hard targets. Yet we can't just walk up to a Telemon, or a blob of possessed, or a squad of Allarus Terminators, and just cross our fingers. I'm just curious where you guys find balance in those tough match ups, without diluting your assault force too much?

Do WS still have their Chapter Specific Litany?

Quick question guys, can white scars only use the warlord traits in the new 9th edition space marine codex, or can we still use the WS specific ones from the 8th edition supplement?
