ambit Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This article appeared on BoLs today. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/02/40k-lore-remember-the-raptors.html They also had an article with leaks on the upcoming Assasins http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/02/40k-breaking-imperial-assassin-index-leaks-stratagems-galore.html http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/02/40k-breaking-imperial-assassins-leaks-stat-blocks.html 85 points each and you can take one as a 1CP stratagem using reserves points. Vindicare gains headshot ability, which lets him deal extra mortal wounds to a target he shot that didn't die, weapon damage the same. 1CP to shoot again. Callidus gains 1 dmg to 2 on phase sword. Eversor, gained a lot, 6" on explosion instead of 1", shooting attack when a unit falls back from him, so if he ties up a ranged unit and they run away he gets to shoot them in the back, another new ability that gives bonus attacks for models he kills in CC, which don't trigger further additional attacks. Culexus, now effects your own psykers as well. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353950-remember-the-raptors-and-assasins/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Captain Vyper Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 While not exactly Raven Guard in nature, Assassins do feel very fitting in a combined force containing Raven Guard, so I think this qualifies ;) I think the best part of the new rules it the ability to leave 85 points open in a list, and take whatever assassin fits the game the best, being able to swap out mid tournament, plug-and-play, if you will (and it doesn't cost you one of your 3 valuable detachments). It effectively gives Imperium armies a "sideboard" to draw from (to use a MTG term). Pretty cool, and I am a big fan of it.

ambit Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Yeah that flexibility is cool for tournaments, and just generally by not taking up a detachment. These guys gave a good rundown of the changes - And this from the reddit you linked to 'Cypher, as the warlord of a Chaos Space Marine army, has both CHAOS and IMPERIUM keywords which allows this. You'd have to take him in a vanguard or aux support detachment. If vangaurd, just fill with Fallen squads. Then fill in the other detachments as desired. Then, during deployment, use the "Operating Requisition Sanctioned" stratagem from these new rules to summon a single assassin of your choice to your army. You just have to have 85 unspent points.' Assassins in a Chaos army... haha Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/353950-remember-the-raptors-and-assasins/#findComment-5258960 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambit Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 Cypher! Now with assazins?be still my heart! The Fallen could use some love tho ....wait can Cypher still chill Imperial units? I think you can only take him in a fallen Vanguard detachment at the moment, if you want to stay battleforged. I don't use him though, so not 100% sure?
