captain Angel Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I'm sure they'll FAQ the vehicle squadrons and I would never get the grav cannon for that points cost.

Jolemai Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I doubt we'll get grav cannon access to be honest, especially if we remain the sole users of the heavy flamer on Tacticals. We did remain the sole use of meltagun RAS (which is a shame foe the Salamanders, especially given their Objective Cards!)

Bartali Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Someone with the dex in news and rumours is confirming four attacks base for Dreads. Hopefully we'll get a FAQ....

Jolemai Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Aye, that is pretty huge and would mean that the DCD has five base attacks 0.o Of course, if it were to happen, they would probably forget about Cassor...

Charlo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Would be a travesty is the vanilla dread ends up with more attacks than our Ancient Librarian warlords! Seen that Templars get Rage if they take damage from shooting / overwatch? What an awesome rule.

Spagunk Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Obviously our "defective geneseed" keeps us from having the best performing units/gear . I'm pretty cynical when it comes to any freebies from GW. I doubt that we will get an FAQ. Will have to wait when our codex is released next year which will be just in time for 8th edition to make our new-new codex obsolete again.

Charlo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Getting pretty salty now :/ It just feels like there's no common sense at GW. May as well just play unbound. Which, random question - say I played unbound in that I had a BSF with a TFC in, does the BSF still get it's command benefits (red thirst and reroll trait) or is it just all negated?

Jorre Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 There seem like a lot of changes happening that all marines could really benefit from. Unfortunetly it will probably be a long time before we get them! I will take a lot of interest in the rumoured Dark Angel release that is ment to be next. If they get things like vehicle squadrons and increases to dreadnaught attacks I would be really hopeful that eventually we will get similar treatment!

Bartali Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm not too bothered about all the detachment/formations that SM are getting. We've got our own after all. The things that need addressing are:- 1. Standard SM Dreads with gun+fist now out punch BA Double fist dreads 2. Terminators at 175pts base 3. Vehicle squadrons Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308340-wishful-thinking-new-sm-dex/page/5/#findComment-4077022 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm glad they all suck as much as ours do, too restrictive and if not very overkill (you will seldom need 3 anti-air units and the bonuses!) Anything on the Gladius, Javelin etc? Good that the Demi company is just ours with doctrine instead of red thirst.

Jolemai Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm copying what I see on Warseer here. As for the Formations, what concerns me is even though they are the same, now they have been rolled into the C:SM book I'm not sure if the stand along publications are legal for us to use.

Jolemai Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 [Q:] Is that true that any HQ on a bike unlocks bikers as troops with no additional restrictions? [A:] Yes, if they are in the same detachment. It's written in the bike entry. This would be so nice for us...

Charlo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Fluffy too, OR, here's an idea, if our captain had a jump pack, he unlocked Assaults as troops ;) You bring a good point with the formations, especially the Astartes Storm Wing! I wonder what makes Games Workshop hand out BS5 to all Eldar aspect warriors for no limitations (they were always going to take at least three squads) whereas to get an extra shot on our overpriced elite units we need to take four of them, and a HQ and a flyer and a transport. MAXIMUM OVERKILL. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/308340-wishful-thinking-new-sm-dex/page/5/#findComment-4077126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
appiah4 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 via 4chan >New assault marines can take 2 special weapons (even melta) or two melee weapons for unit. The veteran sergent can take an eviscerator for 10 points. >Assault marines have a rule that allow them to contest even against units with objective secured. >Tactical marines have objective secured as a base rule. >Devastators can take free heavy bolters and every other weapons is 5 points less. They can take Grav cannons for 10 points each. >Signum now gives split fire and night vision. >Anti-air missiles are now free with each missile launcher, even those on land speeder or terminators >Missile launchers on Land speeder storms and drop pod now have pinning. >All sergeants can take auspex now >Centurions don't have twin-linked weapons anymore. They instead have two heavy bolters or two lascannons each. Grav is the same. They can shoot with all weapons. >A lot of generic formations are for "Dark Angels, Adeptus Astartes, Blood Angels and Space Wolves faction". Please apply salt.. None of this is compatible with the ASM page posted on the SM Codex rumours thread. It's probably BS.

Morticon Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Jorre- every single rumour on that is debunked. Defs some trolling there. Sadly, it doesnt look like we're getting anything beyond the command tanks :( Hope GW has the good sense to FAQ the costs - since theyre smart changes.

Jolemai Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Each of the Formations is a stand alone Formation, just like the Eldar ones. So technically, we are getting them.
