Nemisor Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Im wondering if these rules are a bit lackluster because when an actual codex comes out we will end up with primarus versions of these units, and they will be decent.....slowly shifting us all to primarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9x19 Parabellum Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I only ever bought 1 drop pod, as I never liked spamming them and thought they were OP and resulted in a negative play experience for my friends. So I've always been a Rhino man, I have 4 of them (2 can double as Razorbacks), so I'm pretty jazzed about this.

NTaW Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) They're only a few more points (30/40?) than a Rhino and show up anywhere on the table not within 9" of an enemy on the turn of your choosing. Still a pretty good transport I'd say, though it's shocking all vehicles have gone up considerably in price in return for improved survivability. Â My Furioso Dreadnoughts will be riding in Stormravens! That will be fun. Curious to see how Flyers are going to work.

Silverson Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Does the is mean flyers start the game on the battlefield now? And are only -1 to hit instead of snap fire'ing and no jink to save them, or no ceremite plating. Wow it's going to be interesting how meta they become.

dread05 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) It looks like nothing can carry Primaris tbh. Â well apart from the Primaris rhino that is. Edited May 31, 2017 by dread05 Helias_Tancred 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedemptionNL Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Note that the Rhino Primaris is the command Rhino from the Warhammer World exclusive box.

Xenith Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hard choice as ever for Stormraven weapon options. At least now the hurricanes can shoot at a different target to any anti tank weapons. Â Missiles are no longer one use it seems, so the stormstrike adds power to an anti tank build. Â Asscans + hurricanes + typhoon (frag) + 2 storm strike missiles nets you an average of 45 shots at 12" range, up to a max of 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Angelus Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) They work like this:  Hidden Content Interesting to see the missiles are now persistent weapons. Although seeing those stats I wish i'd magnetised my turrets.

OrbOfAntioch Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 I'm Brother Lemartes! Look at me! Â Yeah I'm disappointed about the D.C. but that's really it so far... oh yeah and the libby dread. Most people seem happy with the libby dread, so I'll remain optimistic; however, the 3 attacks when every other dread has 4 is silly imo... Â I'm looking forward to trying to make a list tonight (if we can see all the point values that is) Â If DC took a hit power-wise....one could take a look at the composition of my Entire army http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/923/V90vfo.jpg ...and realize that I am not a happy camper.

Cleon Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Well having just seen the Space Wolf leaked rules, I am struggling to believe there isn't someone at GW who hates the Angels. Â Wulfen are so much better than the Death Company it's untrue - better basic stats (extra strength and wound and move 7), better feel no pain (5+ normal AND get to make their attacks if slain before striking), get to advance and then charge (so pretty much Jump pack charge bonus without needing jump packs), re-roll failed charges AND they have two different buff bubbles. Â Oh and insult to injury, they get to keep 'Krom' from their box as a named Character where we lose Karlaen. Â Increasingly feeling like sitting this edition out until we get a codex.

Damon Nightman Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 The more leaks I see the more it seems like they nerfed our stuff for no reason... I'm trying to stay optimistic, but it's just a little baffling. Other HQs give an extra command point but Dante doesn't? Other HQs/weapons have "on the charge, do d6 instead of D3 damage" which seems like a perfect type of thing to give us.. the guys that specialize in assaults and charging? I just don't get it, do they really not have anyone around that cares or has an idea as to how BA can be a flavorful and fun army? Their main concern for awhile seems to be to make sure BA aren't too powerful, which should be way way down on the list of things to worry about with this game considering we haven't been too powerful since 5th maybe?

Bartali Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Â Â I really curious to see our faction focus... Â A bit about jump pack assault, bit about Sang Guard, bit about Lemartes assault re-roll, a bit about BA Primaris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
