9th Ed. Wishlist?

So you agree then?

To move away from completely random shots a bit, I’d literally just add exploding 6s to to hit rolls to represent the possibility of explosive shells doing extra damage.

id make those exploding 6s also hit at half strength though.

Agreed on the flat 3/4 damage.  We're still keeping a random number of shots, and with BS4 there's enough swing there to flip a game on one turn of going hot.

 

I'm still holding out (foolish) hope that GW really does something cool with turret weapons to differentiate them.

• BCs go to flat D2, and ignore -1D effects
• DC go to d3+3 damage, less shots than the BC
• Nova cannons ignore cover
• Exterminator ACs go to 2d3 shots, AP1, D3, ignore hit penalties for FLY/FLYER/JUMP PACK targets
• Vanquisher ignores invulns & phase caps. 

The phase caps I think is the important one, since Guard really only play in 1 phase of the game.  Or guard need some buff to psyker or non-shooting phase support

If exterminators get even the slightest stat buff I’m building like 3 more of them lol 

I also think the RRs are to help out in the fight phase

The sanctioned psykers are listed as no longer available on the GW site, hopefully there's a plastic version coming soon.

I know not 9th but since it seem we’re not going to get revamped Catachans or other regiments this go around, for 10th I’m hoping a new Catachan line drops, and based on how the colonel model looks, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were primarily shirtless dudes with body armor on, to try to maintain some connection to the Cadian line while maintaining that Catachan signature look.

Shoot into combat with the risk of hitting your own troops. Not a stratagem but army wide rule.

well, we got a strategem ‘acceptable losses’ that basically allows this.

You mean like the Catachan colonel?
