They fire once in the shooting phase then again when they assault, previous edition was once in the shooting phase only right?

 

Granted one is a snap shot so it's more like an additional half shot, but for Sons of Horus it's at full BS

What have you been reading / listening to? 

 

Both Assault and Despoiler squads output 2 attacks a model (even if they're using a weapon that was previously either a two handed or specialist weapon) and get an additional Pistol shot when they assault.  So Pistols have improved, they have more weapon options, and some weapon options have improved too...  

 

The Lost Legions podcast. I havent yet played a game yet of the new edition, so it might well be incorrect (sounds like it might be, from what you are saying).

I have finally finished a Rhino with tank riders. I will say this idea very nearly went into the bin a couple of times, a few bits were quite tricky, but after some finger stabbings and dropped glue pots here is the finished article. 

 

I have made another post in the Painting and Modelling section with more photos and details:

They lost line in the process, lost the extra

 attack from charging, lost functional apothecaries, never want to take those Pistol shots because they might mess with their charge (and mean their target gets to shoot too) and are stuck on vanguard 2 which is somewhere between a very marginal scoring buff that isn't worth the effort you have to put in to score it and a straight up downgrade to not having a scoring related rule at all, depending on the mission. All their power weapons got worse and more expensive as well. So yeah, nerfed to hell.

I'm so jealous! I tried get one but I had no luck. They look really cool! The left one looks especially cool! 

 

I built wound markers for my field guns. Not sure about the second one from the right. His head is a bit big.

I would say quite the opposite. He is the only one where the size of his head matches those feed. 

Why are their feed so big? ( ゜o゜)

But funny though that you call them wound markers.

Thanks, i may add some decals to push the space wolves connection but ive not found many that fit both the style or even the areas on the mini. 

 

I have a 3rd one that i started base coating red last night.

 

Next up is some non jump infantry to put inside them. Maybe some terminators would be cool.
