Back into GK

[Gaz1858]

Taking a break from my Admech while waiting on the new Flier and getting back into my GK.

 

I have a few Questions about the army now.

 

What rules from marines do GK get?

 

Where are the rules contained for any changes?

 

Do the chaplains get any prayers or things?

 

Can the tech, apoth and chaplain be upgraded from Faith and Fury?

 

Anything else worth knowing as I get back into it?

 

I have managed to make a 2K brigade from the models I have so I can do most things.

 

Thanks all

A) none

B ) codex and faq

C) nope

D) yeah definitely! Nah just kidding nope again!

E) psychic awakening is previewed on the 25th Dec which will have new rules for GK so maybe wait until then? :D

They get shock assault and bolter discipline. Make some army on battlescribe to check rules

[Gaz1858]

Thanks,

 

So the Fury of Deimos fires 6 shots at 30" all the time then as all characters have Termy armour?

 

Falchions are still the best granting +1A on top of the Shock Assault rule (so 3 attacks from a strike squad in first round)?

[Matt_149]

Yes and yes

As stated in other answers, only Shock Assault and Bolter Discipline at the moment

 

Where are the rules contained for any changes?

 

Codex + Errata/FAQs + Chapter Approved (point changes)

 

Do the chaplains get any prayers or things?

 

Nope (at the moment), must wait for Psychic Awakening on January

 

Can the tech, apoth and chaplain be upgraded from Faith and Fury?

 

Nope again (at the moment, see above)

 

Anything else worth knowing as I get back into it?

 

Wait until January before trying to play anything clad in silver armour (or not) :)

Honestly, I would *never ever in the world* take a GK Brigade in place of multiple souped Battalions due to our chronic in-game deficiencies ;)

With chapter approved are Falchions 1 pt or 2???

For 1 Falchion equipped it's 1pt, for twin falchions it's 2pts.

[Gaz1858]

So whats peoples thoughts now? I know Falchions were always statistically better but does the extra point change that?

That extra attack is key, at least for me.. and 1 point is nothing imo. For a 5-man squad pay 5 extra points and get double the amount of attacks? Yes please. Plus it should have always been that way. When 8th first dropped we didn’t know if the specific wording was a typo or not then they said it was. Guess they decided now again that it wasnt with the points drop and all..

Actually, the Brotherhood Champion doesn't have terminator armour. Pretty sure he's the only character without (aside from Crowe) that comes with basic power armour.

I always felt it was a shame that there wasn't an HQ with interceptor teleporting packs.

If you use Gate Of Infinity on a unit does it count as moving for heavy weapons if it didnt move before? Edited December 17, 2019 by Gaz1858
