https://www.reddit.com/r/Warhammer40k/comments/6ebveo/drop_pod_rules_leaked_infantry_only/ So the new drop pods in 8th are infantry only and you choose when they deploy. Oh.. and they cost 100 points. So there is a ton of doom saying and acrimony about these changes. From my perspective as a relative newbie I think the big picture is largely positive. You can call the pods down whenever and virtually wherever you want. This means you can grab objectives in a timely manner without scatter. So we lose dreadnoughts in pods but gain reliability. Sternguard/vets in pods will be better than 7th since you wont scatter. Devastators in pods will be devastating since shooting heavy weapons after moving is now only -1 to hit. Pods themselves are durable and can probably still hold objectives. (not 100% on that one) Tacticals in pods are probably going to be really sexy also since you can load them up with all kinds of bling and split fire all over the place. I understand Blood Angel players being overcome by the black rage because of this change but for Raven Guard I think these more reliable pods are tactically superior to the old pods. You get em on time and on target, every time. Are the new pods good, bad, or otherwise?
