Guard reveals

[sairence]

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.

Well, if the rumours of the Take Aim order are true Scions and Kasrkins will have 2+ to hit and AP-3 on base weapons. You can drop Scions anyway and blast them.

Anyone want to speculate about the effect of the platoon keyword?

im kinda thinking JOs in command squads will only be able to issue orders units with the keyword, and maybe confer an Ld benefit of some sort, or something along those lines anyway 

 

I was thinking it might work like the Dark Eldar  codex where you  get free detachments if they all have a keyword so perhaps it will be free patrol detachments if all units have the Platoon keyword.

That makes sense as the detachments boil down to platoons with support units

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.

None of those field guns are worth 70pts

Better of having 9 lascanons doing 9 shots vs 4 big lascanon shots (similar points). Maybe there is more to the weapon? Hopefully mortal wounds too. If not I will EBay mine.

[bristlybadger]

Could it be that the 70pts are for 2, as the squad is 2-4?

Guard leaks - Google Sheets

 

From Mordian Glorys YouTube channel, he made a handy spreadsheet

 

They are from an old play test version, so hopefully they are wrong

Yep, been saying that too. 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.

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... 

[Emperor Ming]

If that means a tank officer can no longer order himself, we can add that to the pile of nerfs

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

15 doctrines, is that the same number as the mordian glory leaks?

[Emperor Ming]

For having lost regiment traits

 

15 is rather.....low

I'd agree, it also seems weird that the rules (WT, sub-faction rule, relic strat) for the named regiments is gone, especially when every other faction follows that format.

Unless the officer can order himself, then the orders will carry over to platoon/squadron units within 6".  Why that isn't 12" for tanks is unknown, and we don't know what Vox casters will do, or if vehicles will use their come with radios...

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.

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.

[Casual Heresy]

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]

Yeah, after your opponent moves off the objective just move onto it. If they take it back nuke it.

[duz_]

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. 

[sairence]

Glorious Thermomuclear smiting. Dear Grid-coordinates indeed. :D

[Emperor Ming]

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

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
