SilverShire Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I get the feeling 9th will be geared a lot more towards combat than 8th Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364069-9th-edition-incoming/#findComment-5526357 Share on other sites More sharing options...

C0deb1ue Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Hard to tell whether it will help CC yet apart from maybe ITC style terrain rules. Not being able to tie up tanks is certainly a nerf to combat centric armies especially when a lot of our minimal mobility was tied into consolidation. Maybe the new reserves system will help but they would need to change how easy it is zone and also will it still be a 9inch charge?

lonewolf81 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Updated terrain rules may bring back units like T-wolves and characters on wolves who suffer greatly with the current ruleset. Also allowing tanks to fire in combat gives them a huge buff to an already shooty type game which can only lead to more deadly combat phase ( first turn charges made easier etc). They already have feedback that shows that horde armies and shooting phase in general need a nerf of some kind (as rules stand who ever has the first turn has a huge advantage) ... I would also like alternate activations but let's see :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364069-9th-edition-incoming/#findComment-5526479 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Ooh, since they’re Assault ‘Intercessors’ that means I can use the Veteran Intercessor stratagem on them, and give Ragnar a proper Wolf Guard.

PeteySödes Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So glad I didn’t start trying to make dynamic intercessors without these. I’m kinda shocked I dodged that bullet to be honest.

Dark Shepherd Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 They did say it would be a more CC friendly edition Hope cavalry get some rules love especially with admech getting them too Just bought our Primaris Start Collecting box for Primaris Wulfen, gives me 5 spare inters with 2 upgrade sprues to make a squad of Assault Intercessors They have close support markings in some photos sadly Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364069-9th-edition-incoming/#findComment-5526544 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Triszin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I only have to chop off my bolt pistols on my completed claws and put the heavy bolt pistol on them to use them as either claws or AI.

Valerian Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So glad I didn’t start trying to make dynamic intercessors without these. I’m kinda shocked I dodged that bullet to be honest. Same here. Although I did give one unit of Intercessors markings for a Wolf Guard Pack, for the Veteran Intercessor stratagem. Now I’m going to want to do that for this new Assault version, instead.

Guest Triszin Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 honestly, IM thinking of jsut magnetizing all of my primaris scale marines going forward. it seems at the basic level, its just an arm swap to swap between units. at most running legs are dynamic, but thats the only change Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364069-9th-edition-incoming/#findComment-5526569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteySödes Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 My hang up though is now that we have a more clearly defined gh/bc analogues, am I shooting myself in the foot not waiting for the inevitable official versions in case they have differing gear etc? This is my issue with the drop fed releases, it gives me MMO loot treadmill syndrome. I’m not salty to be clear, the releases look great, just cautious with ever decreasing hobby time Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/364069-9th-edition-incoming/#findComment-5526599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valerian Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I’m sure a real Wolf Guard analogue will eventually come, but I’m thinking those are still a long way out.

Castle Wolfenstein Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Do you all think it is safe to assume that assault intercessor pack leaders will be able to take a TH or PF? Just wondering because I was about to build 2 squads of ABR intercessors with TH pack leaders, now think I should maybe hold off?

I think the Assault Intercessors will have Pack Leaders able to take the special close combat weapons (like Power Fists and Thunderhammers), else they'll underperform in close combat compared with "stock" Intercessors. However, that being said, don't build anything until we know for sure.
