Vassakov Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 yes, Valerian - but I've just checked Blood of Baal and Ritual of the Damned and they both specify Troops.

That applies only to troops Not according to Psychic Awakening or the FAQ, both of which supersede the codex. It almost makes me thankful there aren't any tournaments right now as this would be a nightmare for a TO to rule on.

Valerian Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Are you talking about the fact that the detachment gains Defenders of Humanity? That applies only to troops In the Codex, it says that if your army is Battleforged, then Troops units in Space Wolves Detachments get Defenders of Humanity. But, in Saga of the Beast it says, Space Wolves Detachments gain the Defenders of Humanity ability (not just Troops). This new Saga of the Beast Errata changes that to all units except Servitors and Beasts in Space Wolves Detachments gain Defenders of Humanity. So, definitely not just Troops. Pretty much the whole army gets Objective Secured. Enjoy!

The Saint Ragnar Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) The rule Defenders of Humanity in itself states that Troops count as objective secured unless I am mistaken. I'll double check that Edit: Spelling errors Edited July 27, 2020 by The Saint Ragnar Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365475-saga-of-the-beast-faq-is-out/#findComment-5572509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Guard Dan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Rune Priest in Phobos can take from the Tempestas discipline now. Until we get the codex I suppose. If you put him on a forward objective and cast Fury of Wolf Spirits, with some support that becomes a very hard unit to shift. Oh we definitely giving him armor of Russ.

I'll double check that Edit: Spelling errors It does not. What Valerian said - I will confess this was my assumption as well but Defenders of Humanity is an ability which, prior to SotB, Troops units gained. The ability itself makes no reference to Troops units at all.

The Saint Ragnar Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I was looking at the Codex Space Marine version, not ours. Apologies for trying to be the voice of reason. This is heavily playing RAW when RAI is quite obvious given all the other versions of the rule. I personally won't be doing this in my games but it is there. We will see if they fix that in the FAQ down the road.

TiguriusX Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) Rune Priest in Phobos can take from the Tempestas discipline now. Until we get the codex I suppose. If you put him on a forward objective and cast Fury of Wolf Spirits, with some support that becomes a very hard unit to shift. Oh we definitely giving him armor of Russ.You can combine this with phobos WL trait lord of deceit to put serious pressure on an opponent. Ideally this is on another character like a phobos captain. 9th edition is simultaneous deployment and nobody knows who has first turn until all units are down. Another major change is no scoring objectives until the beginning of your next turn. So if you dont put yourself at risk on an objective you get nothing. You can use a phobos rune priest with saga of the hunter and fury of the wolf spirits to put instant pressure on your opponent. If you get first turn you can basically wipe out any infantry unit placed on the edge of the DZ. If you get second turn redeploy using lord of deceit. You are now safe and have denied aggressive deployment to your opponent Funny thing is another marine chapter like raven guard or white scars doing this doesn't scare you as a SW. With army wide HI and armor of russ tricks you can shut down alpha melee builds easily Edited July 27, 2020 by TiguriusX QuarterPounder 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365475-saga-of-the-beast-faq-is-out/#findComment-5572535 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NatBrannigan Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 That Defenders of Humanity wording seems so odd that it might well be intentional? Something to do with Wolves being the chapter most interested in actually defending Humanity? Not sure.... Be VERY strong if true, but I’m expecting a FAQ to alter the FAQ if that FAQ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/365475-saga-of-the-beast-faq-is-out/#findComment-5572576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Side note, one of the necron dynasties tgats been leaked does get all models obsec. So this is not completely impossible. My thought is, if it's a mistake then it's kinda big because the wording makes it feel intentional, however it would be a bit odd so its definitely worth confirming the intent on.
