Hey guys,

Things I've noticed:

1. No special commands like there is for the assault brigade
2. No "Forlorn Hope"
3. A lot of units cheaper and/or streamlined
4. No carcass shells like assault brigade
5. Engineers are still Troops but become elites when with a hades drill
6. Commander now has refractor field
7. more minor details

What do you guys think?

 

I for one would've liked the carcass shells, but love the new point costs...

Just makes me want to save money to start...

Just reading through it now, very excited to start planning new lists (and might even get to start one if I ever finish my metal cadians and catachans lol). It seems that there is no combined squads though any more. Not sure if this was intentional or an oversite, but think it may have a big impact on their ability to fight. Also no commisars in the inf squads :(

Two more things I've noticed:

- simplified rules for mole mortar (no more launching on one turn and hitting on the next one)

- heavy weapon squads can now have mixed weapons

the lack of combined squads pushes me towards a mechanised assault brigade grenadiers army instead of a massive infantry blob army. probably be cheaper for me, but maybe a little less fun
