Captain Coolpants Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 http://image.bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/gallery/album_13179/gallery_23369_13179_447.jpg Near the top it has the stats for the storm bolter. Tis now rapid fire 2 So this means 2 shots at full range and 4 shots at 12" yes? Edit, just noticed it's a repost (>.<) But I also. Concerned with the psychic focus. I'm not sure of I'd prefer the standard smite, or it be replaced with hammerhand. I'm sure it said every psyker knows smite unless stated otherwise, and we could have hammerhand as that otherwise. I'm surprised the dreadknights toughness remained the same too, thought they'd bump it up by 1. But if they do remove the PT, I'll he sad, but knowing I could just DS it and charge anyway isn't so bad.

Holier Than Thou Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just seen that Thunder Hammers do 3 damage. Does this mean our Daemon Hammers will do D3 + 3?

LuisMars Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 If every option is going to be playable Dreadnoughts and Dreadknights need to be differentiable. Dreadknight M8" S6 T6 W12 Heavy Psycannon 24" S7 -1 2 damage Psylencer Heavy 6 S4 1d3 damage. It has more than 10 wounds, so it's going to have attribute reductions. Dreadnought M6" S6 T7 W8 We know Dreadnoughs are going to be priced 70 (base) + 40 (Melee weapon?) + 27 (Multimelta) = 137, (97 if the melee weapon is free) I see the Dreadknight being about the same point range and shooting at 2+ and getting its movement and shooting attributes to make it more close combat oriented. I see the Dreadnought as a more configurable shooting unit.

Gentlemanloser Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 The Chaos DPs with 16 odd wounds doesn't have any degradation chart, I don't think that the NDK will necessarily have one. Hmmm. No move and run with Storm Bolters. But double the shots at half range. At least with the new FoC we can run 1HQ and three (to 6?) NDK as a detachment. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333234-8th-edition-has-me-excited-about-the-gk/page/15/#findComment-4761260 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed at the bottom of the image a "wrist mounted" grenade launcher that's assault D3 or w/e... leads me to believe we could have a "wrist mounted" stormbolter variant allowing us the rapid fire along with the ability to charge maybe?

Gentlemanloser Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Not sure if I prefer Storm Bolters to be Assault 2, or Rapid Fire 2. :/ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333234-8th-edition-has-me-excited-about-the-gk/page/15/#findComment-4761301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Rapid fire 2 means 2 shots at 24" and 4 at 12", which is more than their current profile. The question is whether or not you can assault after firing rapid fire. From what I've seen so far there doesn't appear to be the restriction on charging after shooting any more?In which case I'm all for Rapid Fire 2! If that's not the case then Assault 2 would be my preferred option.

Myunch Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 My hope would be Assault 2 with double shots at half range =D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/333234-8th-edition-has-me-excited-about-the-gk/page/15/#findComment-4761309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 You can charge after shooting Rapid Fire wepaons. You cannot Advance (run) though. Assault Weapons allow you to move + Advance, shoot and charge.

Myunch Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ah, that does change things... mobility seems like it will be a challenge for our Terminators once they hit the ground.

Can it? Just checked the rules leak and Advance = No shooting/charging, Assault Weapon allows you to shoot after advancing with -1 to hit, doesn't say you can then assault.

Gentlemanloser Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Ah that looks right! In that case advancing kinda sucks, and I'd go for rapid fire over assault any day!

We can rapid fire and charge anyway in 8e; shooting weapons no longer restrict your ability to charge, so even heavy weapons don't prevent it in 8e. You can charge after shooting Rapid Fire wepaons. You cannot Advance (run) though. Assault Weapons allow you to move + Advance, shoot and charge. You can move, advance, and shoot with Assault weapons (at -1), but they don't also let you charge. Advancing prevents a charge, outside of specific unit rules.

Waking Dreamer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Looking at the leaks for the other psychic disciplines, it seems like 3 psychic powers per discipline is the standard. So does that mean GKs will most likely have Smite + 3 GK specific psychic powers to chose from? Or will special characters like Draigo, Voldus, Stern etc. have unique psychic powers just for themselves? I'm not sure how it is in AoS but is there a list of general psychic disciplines that are available for all / most factions to cast from on top of their 3 specific powers?

Not that I'm aware of, but I've not played AoS; only did research on it to learn about what to expect from 8e a month or so ago.
