This could completely change?

Melta is going to S9 by the looks of things. That means it will be going from wounding Dreads on a 3+ to a 5+. Heavier tanks will be going from a 4+ to a 5+.

 

 

It does look like Infantry will have a harder time dealing with vehicles than they did in 9th, particularly in melee. I suspect that this is by design but we will have to wait and see if vehicles come out too powerful. Given how easily vehicles died in 9th, my hunch is that they will not be brokenly powerful.

Sisters confirm melta is S9. Looks like instead of one shotting tanks it's gimmick is more consistent damage when in short range.

The prince with wings is cheaper?

I wonder what a plague master is? (if this is even real, weird that the winged daemon prince is cheaper)

And since 9th, all solo unit have points cost with multiple of 5. 196pts can't be the real cost.

Well, that was always a mess from inception. Losing that granularity created a lot of balance messes.  There was aome exceptions in 9th pre "Baby out with the bathwater, all equipment is free" for space wolves, vanguard vets, etc...

 

Not having "Always have to be a multiple of 5" is much healthier for the game, so hopefully if these points are true, it's a return to better points granularity.

This is actually untrue, Spawn come to mind off the top of my head but there are more than a few other examples.

Spawn has unit size of 1-5, not exact 1.

I suppose but it is base 1 not base 5. But I guess its not a solo model unit.

 

If this is real I suspect it was a typo for 195 because it does seem weird. I dont think it necessarily point to it being a false leak.

Might have different stats/abilities depending on wings or not, like the Hive Tyrant. On foot is tougher with better save.

Liking a lot of the stuff here. @TrawlingCleaner thank you for posting all these!

 

Lots of daemons in my pile of shame. Time to get building and painting! I'm also really hoping GW does a CP box for each pantheon.

Some names of the shooting weapons are not seen in previous editions, and don't have clearly corresponding parts on model kits. I guess they are different profile under different gods, for the "mouth attacks".

 

[Tokugawa]

Does the "fly" and "walk" versions of the same monster units go into different datasheets in 10th?
