Stormbolters went up a point

 

Invictors now 160 equipped

 

Wulfen/TWC could even come down if the stormshield rumour is true

 

Stormravens up abou 20 points re Stormwolves

 

Jump characters up 12-15

Psykers 10

Other characters up about 10%

 

Impulsors now 100+

 

WE NEED MELEE WEAPONS AND OTHER WARGEAR TO LEAK

I'd love it if Storm Shields changed to 4++ vs ranged; 3++ vs melee. That'd make them still really good, but no longer insane value: still absolutely great but not too bonkers (as massed firepower can still bust through a 4++ quite quickly).

Leaks confirming

 

Relic shield is a 4++ to even mort wounds, +1 on armor save

 

Stormshields are 4++ invuln, +1 to armor save.

 

Definitely an interesting change, but my Wulfen aren't too happy about the loss of a point of Invulnerable Save.  

So no bodyguard keyword for shields dudes ?

 

Yeah, definitely not mentioned.  Of course, the dude that typed up all of the details might have just failed to mention it.  If they don't have it, though, then there's a decent chance that I'll just skip on Bladeguard Vets, and use the points elsewhere.

Judiciar got the rumored Armor of Russ-type ability, which is pretty sweet.  Hopefully he is an Elite choice, as also rumored.

Just noticed those Master-crafted Power Swords are all Strength +1, which is a new change, too (in addition to the D2), so they are even better than I thought they'd be.

How much can we trust that leak ? Its look like a serious one or a totally made up by black magic ?

I think Simon Grant saying they can be in units of up to 5 ruled that out, 5 man bodyguard unit would be O.P.

 

 

Looks like stormshields no longer give invuln save, only a +1 to armor save...

 

:(

They still give a 4+ invuln and add 1 to save

 

Though still a nerf!

Makes me a little happier

Not much excuse for SW to be so slow/immobile compared to BA or WS if we lack survivability. It was bad enough last edition but guns are even better and our resilience is worse for our elite CC units.

So a storm shield terminator has a 1+/4++?

 

With any type of cover they get a 0+ base armor save? (Hello storm caller)

 

That is real nice. Unless you pound them with AP3/4 guns the new shield mechanic is better for them against AP1/2.
