TheCelticRaven Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 From a rules standpoint? Ya there's nothing stopping you from using the rules in book 6 with white scars. The custodes are explicitly called out as having updated rules. Doesn't really matter what I think about needing scions to get protocols; I think corswain should have mastery of the blade but he doesn't. new rules always overwrite old rules, that is GW and FW policy, if you want you can email them for confirmation. Doing so as we speak - will report back with results because I am genuinely curious now. Edit: Email sent - I have also asked in regards to some of the omissions to Mastery of the Blade. I will publish the answer once I have them and we'll know if the two Protocols are obsolete and if MotB applies to The Blade, the Lion Sword, the Wolf Blade and Divining Blades. well of course The Lion Sword And The Wolf Blade don't count for Mastery of The Blade, The Lion doesn't have Legiones Astartes and therefore doesn't have Mastery of The Blade.

shang Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Do terror squads have access to more power weapons now? For me i thought this was a weakness for the squad.

SkimaskMohawk Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 No. The real weakness of the squad was lack of anti vehicle, which is mitigated by melta bombs now. 10 terror marines with volkites kill 6 terminators from shooting and charging, that's pretty good for about the same price as an upgraded terminator squad. Failing the fear test bumps it to 7 terminators. Against power armour they get 4.9 with volkite and 7.8 from melee, feared enemies results in 9.8 instead. They really don't need power weapons imo.

shang Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Fair point, they can be very hard hitting. Although i wouldnt charge them into terminators, atleast not alone.

shang Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 You could probably kill a few terminators, but the terminators will get a few of your guys; maybe a consul would help out.

I thought about the ol' reliable 5 men squad and those die. Depends on the circumstances.
