Thousand Sons preorder January.27

[Prot]

Agreed on the Mutalith. I'm assuming it's a tank cost... about 130-145 points. (I don't know if it actually shoots anything though so maybe not).

 

I do like it though.

[Zodd1888]

I figure it'll be around Maulerfiend cost.

[Varyn]

this is the most interesting part for me:

 

"As well as new ways to use classic units like Rubric Marines, powerful rules to benefit your Sorcerers"

 

 

might be grasping at straws but there could be an alternate rubric unit entry in the codex?

 

I guess they probably just mean a rubric specific strategem.

 

Still, very encouraging news in the post

[Archaeinox]

Dont read too much into it. They're just upselling

[Zodd1888]

It may be referencing updated special rules? Maybe they went more rules instead of dropping points? We'll see soon.

[Scammel]

'Alongside a Mutalith' is a new way to use Rubric Marines.

 

I'm assuming it's a tank cost... about 130-145 points.

I heard 150 somewhere?

150 was quoted more then once, id assume its in that range. very close.

3 would be fun just to pulse 3 MW to everything in an aura. Do we know when it's activated? Can they still advance and use it?

[BoomWolf]

Probably referring to the fact they can get actual spells now.

[Khalan]

Also they mentioned using Boon of Change on enlightened so maybe it isn't characters only?

[Raven1]

Except i thought it was not on demons unless discs dont confer demon anymore but I'm pretty sure they do

[Skerr]

@Raven1, right i need one also. After i finished my last unit my wife asked if my army was done.

 

I said "Baby, armies are never really done..."

 

I was very pleased to see the various powers, how they work, cost, etc... I am really digging the menagerie...

 

The beast also give that opportunity i was hoping to buff SOTs to str 5! My SOTs erase my buddies banshees and scorpions when they hit back so looking forward to str5 ap-3 on the marine chapters in my group.

[Paladin777]

Or 2+ for that matter with veterans of the long war!

[Skerr]

Your my hero!

[Zodd1888]

Warpflamer 15 points per as said in Tabletop tactics.

 

So brutal.

[Khalan]

Is that same price or higher?

[hhhdan]

Ahriman:

·         Same cost on foot and on disk. Same stats, same abilities, except the aura.

·         Aura changed to: re-roll 1s to hit for friendly thousand sons units within 6”

·         Has access to dark hereticus and change (so no tzeentch daemon discipline for him)

Daemon prince: (WOW)

Sorcerer:

Terminator sorcerer:

·         120 pts, so 20 pts cheaper than in csm codex...

·         Option to take a familiar. It gives +1 to the first psychic test in each psychic phase :D (not sure if it is in base cost or some extra cost.)

[hhhdan]

Rubric marines:

·         Aspiring sorcerer is same cost as rubrics

·         Same cost – 18, same cost for bolter – 2. So still 20 pts.

·         Soul reaper cannon is per 10, so 5 man squads can’t take it anymore.

·         Same rule for all is dust. 5++ invul.

Cultists:

·         Same as csm codex.

Horrors:

·         Same as daemons codex

[BoomWolf]

Soulreaper 1/10 makes no sense.

 

I assume they will quickly FAQ either our rubric to be soulreaper at 5, or the CSM to be soulreaper at 10.

yeah it is quite weird..

[Jivanmukta]

I'm not seeing how Magnus is "more shooty" as they said.

[hhhdan]

Tzaangor Shaman:

·         82 pts base + force stave, so 90 pts on disc. No option to take on foot.

·         Aura: +1 to hit for friendly tzaangor units within 6”

·         Knows 1 power from change discipline

·         Daemon keyword.

Scarab Occult:

·         Sorcerer is same price as other terminators. But still 33 pts per model base.

·         Same cost for power sword, same cost for inferno combi bolter. So 40 pts a model total.

·         Same cost for heavy warp flamer, same cost for hellfire missiles.

·         All is dust is same. 5++ still.

·         Sorcerer can cast a power from change discipline. Weaker smite still.

Helbrute:

·         Same as CSM codex

Tzaangor Enlightened:

·         15 pts base. No option to be on foot.

·         WS3+ BS3+ S4 T4 2W 5++ A2

·         Spear is 1pt. Bow is 2 pts. Chainsword/autopistol is 0 pts.

[hhhdan]

·         Same as in daemon’s codex

Chaos Spawn:

·         Same as in CSM codex

·         Designer’s note that any abilities that allow you to create a chaos spawn during the game, unless specified otherwise, you have to pay reinforcement points.

[BoomWolf]

Warlord traits:

Arrogance of eons (dtw reroll)

Undying form: reduce all damage by 1 (minimum 1)

Aetherstride: can advance and charge, can reroll charge distance.

Lord of prospine lore (+1 spell known)

Otherwordly presiceince: +1 to invul saves, make 3+

High Magistar: +1 to casting

 

 

So we really DID get the worst trait by far in CA. honestly, its going to be though call. 2,3,5 and 6 are ALL pretty damn good.

[Archaeinox]

For what it's worth, you can swap warlords before deployment in a new game AND choose an appropriate warlord. So, against GK or Eldar for example, Aeons is great. Just earlier I locked a nurgle player down in the psychic phase.
