Grey Knight 9th Edition Codex Rumors?

[RedemptionNL]

Does it reduce the range though, I thought the wording was it changed the profile to Pistol 4 but didn't say anything about changing range, AP or damage.

No it specifically says to treat (master-crafted) storm bolters and relics that replace these as Pistol 4 weapons with 12" range.

OK, didn't have my codex with me when thinking about the power.

Nice one to cast when in combat for a little surprise for the enemy.

[Holier Than Thou]

Yes, it’ll be useful if opponents try tarpitting us. Drop a few Mortals in the Psychic Phase, blast them with 4 shots per man and hopefully free ourselves up to charge something else.

[Axilleas]

The 'Fight on the Move' stratagem is also useful against tarpitting attempts, assuming you are not surrounded.

[Holier Than Thou]

Yes, but it only works on Teleporter units so a bit more restrictive.

[Axilleas]

True, but you'd probably have a hard time finding a unit that is not a Teleporter unit that would also benefit meaningfully from turning its bolters into pistols, fringe cases aside.

 

Besides, I see the stratagem as a redundancy. Psychic power didn't go off or pistols didn't finish the job? No problem, as long as you still have a cp to spare.

[Sweetcurse]

I’m going to miss dynamic insertion.
