Autarch compatibility U-turn

[Karhedron]

Looks like GW can be persuaded to listen to reason! They have now updated the Autarch dataslate to allow the parts and weapons to be fully interchangable!

Yea, considering they touted the back-compatability in the initial post. I'm also glad that they didnt tie mandiblasters/banshee mask to specific builds also, so my old WJG/mandiblaster autarch isnt Legends only.

Common sense has prevailed there, glad to hear it.

 

It's a shame it means a book that's been out a week is already out of date for something that could (and should) easily have been caught during design, especially when the compatibility of the models was an intended feature. But still, it's better that it was fixed and good to hear that GW are capable of listening and reacting to feedback.

 

Edit - Also means my rule-of-cool Autarch with Wings, Fusion Gun, Chainsword and Banshee Mask is now actually playable outside of friendly games, which is nice.

Sadly they haven't done anything with the Biker Autarch yet (also, no Avenger Catapult option). 

 

Still, at least the old models are now legal. Some of the past edition combos (dual-wielding Reaper Launchers, for example) were a bit OTT, so there's no need for them to return really.
