sairence Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Considering the consistent rumours of the turret rule, it was always going to stay at a base 4+ BS. They were never going to give us a unit you can bring multiples off and that can annihilate a target from across the table on a 2+. Besides, we now have a built in 3+ to hit on ALL our main vehicle weapons across the board. That's a massive buff and I'm here for it. I have 15 Russes and I will squeeze as many as I can into a list at least once. SteveAntilles, Khornestar and duz_ 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can drop Scions anyway and blast them. duz_ 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense as the detachments boil down to platoons with support units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 The CSTs getting exploding 6s probably mean HoTE is gone. I can’t imagine GW allowing any units to double dip in regards to rolling 6s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristlybadger Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Could it be that the 70pts are for 2, as the squad is 2-4? Inquisitor_Lensoven 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it’s 70 per 2. Weird way to take them in pairs, but at 35 points they’re about the same as those Grot Mek Gunz.

duz_ Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Surprised the new warcom article hasn't been posted yet Mix Your Favourite Regiments in the New Codex: Astra Militarum More on the traits and how they work in the article. There's a fair few previews. Good to see more info, although still haven't figured out how they all gel together yet...

Dezron Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Quote The Death Korps of Krieg and Catachan Jungle Fighters are both getting their own individual datasheets in the new book. Krieg troopers have access to the many options included in their Kill Team kit – such as sniper rifles and medi-packs – while Catachans boast two flamers and a particularly vicious close combat ability. Quote Commissars might be the furthest things from Sly Marbo’s modus operandi – championing order and discipline – and their management style was previously delivered exclusively at the barrel of a bolt pistol. Having learned that some troops respond better to gentle encouragement than the imminent threat of execution, they now have access to Prefectus Orders. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2022/11/09/death-korps-sly-marbo-and-more-get-major-upgrades-in-codex-astra-militarum/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=warhammer-40,000&utm_content=cadiaarticle09112022 Edited November 9, 2022 by Dezron duz_ and TCC 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casual Heresy Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 The fact you can move the deathstrike marker on your turn makes them a potentially very useful tool. I can see the threat of it falling and keeping your opponent's army spread out/away from certain objectives being more useful than the potential damage.

War of the Eagle Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yeah, after your opponent moves off the objective just move onto it. If they take it back nuke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I'm curious, do have to fire the weapon the following turn after placing the marker? Or do can you keep moving it around the board until you're ready? Also is it auto hit? Mint transhuman for DKOK is nice @Jud CottrellCottrelland and @Captain Semper must be happy with that. Good to see Sly will be making an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emperor Ming Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 You can keep moving it, the action is change target or fire But is it worth it at 150? for something that gives the enemy a turn to move away and even if you do hit something, on a 1 it still does nothing, that's just very up in the air for me 150 is a russ doing something every turn till it dies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone going to really take the dkok squads at 80pts 80pts for 10 t3 guys, is just bananas Or is everyone just going to use cadians and call them (insert name) Since it looks like all the leaked rules are correct, we can only hope the leaked points are wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
