Rules Changes in LACAL

[Gorgoff]

Do the doors have to open? Lol

Surely if they remain shut there would be no LoS to the Dread?

Sadly since the draft the doors may stay shut if you "build it that way ".

Ein großer, dampfender Haufen Scheiße, if ya ask me. ;)

[lokkorex]

Welp, malcadors just went up a few steps on my "to-buy" list.

 

Sad to see there's still no change or buff to destroyers.

[Ishagu]

So if you model it with the doors shut, then problems are solved? Lol

[crazyterran]

I guess that would technically work? It would still allowed to be shot, because the rules state it, but it would be obscured. It would be super beards if you shot out of it then said your opponent t couldn't shoot in just because you magnetized the doors closed.

[Charlo]

Simple way to clarify this:

 

Pod comes down, kicks up an insane dust cloud/ smoke/ debris from the burning retros.

 

Doors blow open thus creating more debris/ dust/ smoke.

 

Dread starts firing through the dust cloud and the enemy fires back. Both have are obscured - I think this is the intention.

Anyone else notice moritats have a cap on the number of hits per turn with chain fire? Unsure if that's new?

Say what now? I think that's new, first I've heard of it.

[crazyterran]

It caps at 12, so still a silly amount.

 

And chain fire does not effect weapons that don't roll to hit.

That is how you should do it, but ruleswise it is like Ishagu says. If you glue it shut you can't be targetet and still fire.

I would smack anyone who does that but it is totaly legal to do so.

Glueing!

Not hitting people on their heads, of course. ;)

Finally.

Do Plasma Guns still overheat on 1-2?

They do.

[Charlo]

12 hits per gun or total?

 

Seems major weak sauce.

[Ishagu]

Poor Moritat. I'm not sure I see the point anymore. Although you'd hardly ever score 12 hits per gun anyways...

[Gorgoff]

Yeah.

Steaming pile of horsepoo as well.

[IronDrake28]

So hand flamers can't infinitely wound units now? Good :)

[01RTB01]

12 hits is more than most could do in one round of combat. He's balanced I'd say, not poo!

[shandwen]

Ehh, the extra overheat and the restrictions on what he can join meant that moritats were underwhelming before. Now with a cap (low or high) he becomes even less likely to be played.

Just purchased the new red book (iPad ver E-book), and I found the follows:

 

- HK missile for a rhino has been also discounted to 5 pts

--EDIT: 5-pt HKM for a command rhino, predator, both sicarans as well. Maybe it's global discount?

- Hyperlink of combi-weapon includes 40k grav rule (definitely typo IMO)

 

Sorry if someone has already mentioned them.

[Flint13]

^Yup, 5pt HKs across the board.

 

So many missiles round one :lol:

[Charlo]

I suppose it's still up to 24 wounds with serpentas on an extremely lucky day/ cult blob.

 

The cap Shoudl have removed the gets hot on a 2 rule though. 12 plasma shots isn't unbalanced at all IMO.

[Jarl Kjaran Coldheart]

something that just caught me by surprise, and please correct me if I am wrong (hearing it second hand)

 

An Apothecary can get either Artificer Armor OR a Jump Pack, but not both?

[fedratsailor]

correct elite slots apothecaries choose one, artificer/jump pack or bike.

[K3nn3rs]

Before I buy the e- version of the book has anyone noticed any issues with it (typos/ mistakes/etc)?

 

Also is there any changes to the heavy support squad?

[Dantay VI]

Well the head scratcher on why destroyers were lrft overpriced and borderline useless has been solved.

 

Space Wolves are getting special destroyer units supposedly :p

[helterskelter]

They're not useless just niche. I've found a lovely niche for them being able to wound on 2's ;)

[Brofist]

Poor space wolves players. Gonna get even more expensive destroyers
