Holy crap they finally spent the 10 minutes needed to update the rules!

 

 

EDIT: wow, having just read the DA one, Deathwing are going to be the ultimate hammer unit. 2+/3++ Feel no pain!?! And what, Heavy2 cyclone to boot?

Time to paint up more thunder hammer/ storm shields!

god dammit, why did this not come out a month ago, I'm playing my DA as Space marines in a tourney tomorrow, and i had to submit my list already. :tu: but at least I can go back to playing them as DA. YAY!

 

This will change a number of my lists though, FNP termies and One Ravenwing bike squad (will now go up to 6 and probably have the banner as well.

Wow...

 

After all the resistance from GW, about correcting DA equipment to standard, they do it finally.

 

Only issue I still see is the Ravenwing Turbo boost.

 

 

And PTOMS is still BS2.

But still, Deathwing is going to be the flavour of the month now...

They completely changed the text of the POTMS rule. I think the BS2 is gone.

I cannot adequately convey just how very, very, very, very, very excited I am by this news. So I will just say this:

 

I was so excited I gave myself a bloody nose.

 

Thank you, GW!!!!

 

Edit: Also, they changed BT's thunderhammers, but not ours. Heh.

*checks calander*

 

Strange it not the eleventy second of septober.

Wasn't that when we were supposed to get an FAQ that was this radical in its approach?

 

 

 

 

Ok on a serious note words cannot express how happy this has made me, but actions can

 

 

*runs round like a five year old full of sugar*

Very interesting.

 

Positives:

 

Cyclone and storm shield now equivalent to Codex marines (no additional cost if bought as part of a DW squad)

Typhoon missile upgrade (no additional cost)

Improved drop pods

Clarification on RW outflank

Calrity over scout sergeant options

Updated POTMS

 

Negatives (arguable):

 

Feel No Pain for apothecaries instead of ignoring first wound in shooting

Smoke launchers updated

 

Unresolved:

 

Scoring RW Landspeeders (presumably this means they are, but it would be nice to have an FAQ)

Thunderhammer stats are still old (good for us, if memory serves)

Tactical squad entry is still inconsistent with more recent releases (may be intentional?)

 

 

Overall my thoughts are that this is very nice to have. Very nice indeed. Company veterans and DW get some nice buffs with the new storm shield rules (which, combined with the old thunderhammer rules mean they will be nasty)

The Typhoon becomes viable too. But overall I can see Deathwing squads gaining the most from this, particularly in combination with the apothecary and Deathwing banner.

 

Time will tell (obviously), but I for one am rather happy to see this.
