Wouldnt hold up too much hope for any loadout change on the outriders before a multipart kit though. As long as it is monobuild itll have access to only what it comes with

 

But thats why I mentioned the Intercessor Sgt, he has no weapon options in his kit but now you can give him a thunder hammer, so theres a precedent for a unit to get options out of the box.

[Marshal Reinhard]

But he is in a multipart kit. The outriders are not. They are not designed to take different arms than the exact pairs they come with. Thats a huge difference for this purpose.

I agree; I think their fate is sealed. Higher model count is dubious as well, since one is already modeled as the sarge. Such a shame, that kit.
 

Has there been a similar situation where they boxed an ETB kit from a starter set, but then replaced it with a full kit later on?

[Marshal Reinhard]

Most starters have shared sprues, so when they go standalone its usually with other models as well. 

 

Outriders are a bit of outlier in that they went from starter box to their own kit, owing to the fact that they took up enough space to have their own sprue

Just posting this here as this will definitely be an improvement from 10th!

Maybe the updated melee weapon bits would be included in a new White Scar(or in 10th style names, e.g. Wind hunter task force) upgrade kits.

A most important thing about 10th: BT is confirmed being a "faction", in the same category of DA, BA, SW and Dwatch.

Has it been said anywhere if we are still a supplement or if we are back to being a standalone codex like the chaos legions? Im glad its confirmed we are keeping our rules. 

[Marshal Reinhard]

Presumably by being a faction we will get our own codex again? 

 

With the way 10th is setup our index/codex needs to include a repeat of all other generalist marine units, the way it worked in the 9th codex supplement is counter to the design philosophy of 10th.

[Sir Clausel]

Big maybe but what if all the datasheets getting released at the start of 10th wont change? So the codexes is only detachment rules and such? That way they wont have to release the rules for the same units over and over again?

[Marshal Reinhard]

Could be, but I would still assume they'd be included in the codex. But changed... like swapping out OoM mentions for whatever specific rules would be coming. Im predicting there being very little in the way of BT specifics in the index that we're getting day 1 of 10th hitting.

 

Index will make everything functional but probably not overly flavorful.

Well just the fact they have finally sorted out the primaris mess around transports has actually rekindled my interest in the game. I've skipped the entirety of 9th edition (mainly been playing Necromunda and purging with my Cawdor) but am looking forward to 10th and filling my LRC and Stormraven/drop pods with the nice new primaris Templars. First time I've been hyped about 40K in a loooong time!
