Dark Angels Knights Cenobium rise!

Their rules seem sort of lackluster to me, and there's no reason to select any Order besides 'Augurs of Weakness' or 'Reapers of Hosts'. Maybe, just maybe 'Hunters of Beasts', but the other four Orders will never see any use I guess.

There's hoping these are just test rules and they'll be refined some more.

Free Thunder Hammers are okay on them.

Plasma Flame rule is just weird, since, as you pointed out already, Cataphractii are not able to fire overwatch at all. 

Worst of all ... no Implacable Advance = no scoring.

 

In terms of models, the guys with the hooded helmets / rebreathers do look kinda nice, but the icons on the back and the blades / covering on the plasma casters look slightly over the top.

Squad leader looks just silly IMHO.

 

They can fire overwatch as it states : "In addition, such is the superlative skill of the Inner Circle Knights that they may make Overwatch attacks, despite being equipped with Cataphractii pattern Terminator armour"

That line was added to their datasheet after initial release.

I was thinking about this after perusing the Crusade and Heresy group on Facebook, where people were pointing out Cataphractii can’t overwatch and here where people are talking about 2W terminators. It got me wondering if a rules update isn’t going to come out *with* or very close to the release of Crusade. There’s no way the authors don’t know or totally missed Cataphractii can’t overwatch given they have been playing the game personally in the past year (Anuj just played a game with Lernaen Terminators on Twitch). I’d bet Terminator Armor rules get an overhaul.

 

As I stated previously in the rules it actual says the following: "In addition, such is the superlative skill of the Inner Circle Knights that they may make Overwatch attacks, despite being equipped with Cataphractii pattern Terminator armour"

 

So is there someway that they can't fore overwatch? Or was the rules recently updated? As its quite clear that they can indeed fire overwatch haha!
