Chapter Approved 2019 - Speculation

[HandsWithLegs]

I could see a mission type like the new one for AOS, where you divide your army into sections and each section enters the battlefield in a different way/time

[Iron Father Ferrum]

Legion Traits apply to Chaos vehicles. I know it doesn't help, say, Word Bearers, but it would bring CSM a little more in line with Loyalists.

It helps the one time someone tries to Mind War a CSM Rhino?

[Marshal Loss]

I don't think CSM traits will be touched in CA to be honest. Hopefully the rumours about the undivided Legions getting some attention in PA are true.

[Ishagu]

Assume CA will be point adjustments and a few bonus bits and bobs + missions.

There won't be any faction rule alterations.

[Tyriks]

CA17 had minor rules for factions, so I don't think it's impossible. I'm not counting on it though.

[BitsHammer]

CA17 let us build land raiders, CA18 gave us looted wagons and characters. Question is what will CA19 let us make? Custom relics?

[Azaiel]

A Beta codex for inquisitors would blow my mind.

A Beta codex for inquisitors would blow my mind.

If it combined Inquisitors and Rogue Traders, with a side of Commissars and their Cadet Squads?

 

Epic.

[Trevak Dal]

I kinda hope they put a limit on Captains in a detachment like they did for Tau commanders and daemon princes.

 

And the same for Shield Captains and every Badass Hq going forward.

 

Or, perhaps have it be 1 captain per Battalion (with Max sized squads)

[Slasher956]

CA2019...

 

WD Index Assassins,

Cost adjustments

hand flamer errata for blood angels (back to D6 shots)

codex kroot

open play/ campaign map + rules

12 new missions.

 

edit + rules for Zone Moralis (or however its written :p)

Whilst (from a lore perspective) I also dislike multiple captains in a detachment, the captains are nowhere near as powerful as Tau commanders and flyrants. Yes, smash captains etc can be amazing but you have to invest a lot into them whereas the things that have been limited are good straight out of the box. I don’t think they’ll limit them.

[Karhedron]

I agree. Smash Captains tend to require relics and/or stratagems to be effective which naturally limits the most devastating builds.

[Guest Triszin]

For wolves.

 

I'd like 15 pt drop on the storm wolf, and a20 pt drop on the wolf/fang multimelta

 

 

I'd like to see a 25 pt drop on the storm fang.

 

 

Twolves need a rules adjustments or a point drop

[ERJAK]

I agree. Smash Captains tend to require relics and/or stratagems to be effective which naturally limits the most devastating builds.

With Thammers at 40pts, I'm not too worried about Smashcaptains tbh.

[The4thHorseman]

With Rise of the Phoenix having Yanarri Rules, thats one less WD copy paste into CA2019. So if the Zone Mortalis Rumors are to be true, that would,be nice to have a ZM ruleset.

[Captain Idaho]

Been thinking about this subject...

 

1) There's a real chance there won't be a Chapter Approved what with all these adjusting rules just coming out. Outside chance but there nonetheless. It could get put back to next year.

 

2) I suspect we might see Tactical Restraint changed. Adept of the Codex in Supplement Ultramarines specifics you can only get it once and what with the likes of Phobos Phobos Psychic power and the Ultramarines power granting a CP without the specification, I reckon things could change.

[Guest Triszin]

If there isn't a chapter approve I will be very dissappointed. Wolves need adjustments. Our Dex has never been patched

[toaae]

There is no chance in hell of them skipping a Chapter Approved. It will be coming, have no doubt.

[Dark Shepherd]

Theyre not going to skip selling something

[Panzer]

If they were to skip this years CA they would have told us by now I'd say.

[INKS]

When do these CAs normally release?

Tau who Only shoot, have middling shooting. We don't have the Jump shoot jump ability to make the 4+ ballistic skill more tolerable, and on "elites" a bs of 4+ is an insult.

 

Tweak some crisis weapons (plasma rifle) and bring back jsj and give them bs3+ and the desire for Commander spam goes down.

 

As it is I exclusively play my Tau in 7th and 30k games.

[Panzer]

I'd be fine with getting just the BS3+ for more elite units even to be honest. BS4+ is just so unreliable and getting 5+ Markerlights to be able to shoot about as good as Marines is just silly. Especially when you have to hit with those against units with negative hit modifiers.

That still doesn’t change the fact that commanders are much more powerful than captains right out of the box and that’s why they were limited and why I don’t think captains will be.

 

Maybe Tau do need some tweaks overall, fair enough if they do. Although I have to say, JSJ was one the most unfun mechanics I’ve ever played against and I’m glad it’s gone. However, I will admit I am still surprised at the low BS skill on elite units so I agree with you there.
