Panzer Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 It's everything I hoped for plus something. Only one thing missing so far...something that lets us get into melee more reliably after deep striking. But we haven't seen everything yet obviously. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'll take it. Does a 1 to wound still auto fail, oe do our S8 power fists now wound T4 automatically? If a priest still gives +1 strength, out basic marines are wounding other meq on a 2+ first round of combat. 10 man Cataphracts squad. Deepstrike. Reroll all misses. Banner of sacrifice on a Terminator ancient nearby, all catastrophic get 2+/4++/5+++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unseen Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I believe a 1 always fails when rolling to either hit or wound. Dolchiate Remembrancer 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GW is pretty unwilling to make things happen automatically if you cross a given stat threshold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathstrider Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I wonder if sanguinary priests will be changed from +1 str to giving the red thirst even if the unit hasnt charged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hopefully +1 Str. Orpheus Black Blood 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM1981 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 The wings of sanguinius thing is great (for librarian dreadnought and / or mephi). It means they can actually get around he board and do some damage. 18 inch range plus a charge, and a re-roll on that charge, a turn makes them a real problem for people to face. The banner of sacrifice thing is cool. A terminator unit that can reroll all failed hit wounds is nice too. Hello Mr Assault Cannon and his Storm Bolter friends. Goodbye to Mr Ork Player / Genestealler player and his horde units. +1 to wound for red thirst is ok. Not great, and would have prefered +1 attack & +1 strength, but it's still something to work with. It will mean taking on T5 opponents in CC, even with base marines is much more feasible. Landraider storms will make cc scouts and shotgun scouts a lot more fun. And having access to all heresy era stuff just makes sense. I don't want to go too far, but there is nothing here that makes me a sad panda. Indefragable 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefragable Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I wonder if sanguinary priests will be changed from +1 str to giving the red thirst even if the unit hasnt charged... Red Thirst = if the BA unit Charged, was Charged by an enemy, or did a Heroic Intervention. Unless you’re getting seriously tarpitted for several turns, I would rather have the +1S from SP stack.

Charlo Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Having a priest and Red thirst in tandem means wounding enemy T4 on 2+. Which is totally baller, especially with a power sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the Priest rules don't change of course... Remind me, if the wargear options change for a unit in our Codex, can we go back to the legacy options in the Index?

Blindhamster Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 im just hoping that maybe we will get a power sword option, seeing as there is a legitimate power sword intercessor sergeant available to all. And a number of other models with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So it seems I'm getting the Primaris from the Dark Imperium box for free. This solves my loadout questions kinda by itself...now I just need to buy some BA upgrade sprues for the blood drop relics and the chainsword. :D Karhedron 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This solves my loadout questions kinda by itself...now I just need to buy some BA upgrade sprues for the blood drop relics and the chainsword. I chopped the hands off of the Intercessor sergeants from Dark Imperium and gave them chainswords from one of our kits and it looks pretty ok, for the record. I don't know that I'd bother picking up that kit by itself when (per an article this morning on BoLS) it looks like it will be free alongside the "Blood Angels" Primaris kits.
