Orange Knight Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I have a feeling that FNP style abilities will be granted by units like the Apothecary, and the Death Guard equivalent?

DemonGSides Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Not getting a look at either of our Battleline Troops kinda blows. Votaan can complain all they want, this article just stunk. And not in a good way! No troops, No PBC Full, no MBH, no Bloat Drones, not even mortarion! Snores-ville. At least the things we saw are sorta ok. More fuel for the Combi- fight.

Lord Marshal Posted May 17, 2023 Author Share Posted May 17, 2023 No FNP is a surprise, especially when it doesn't seem they get anything else beyond their Toughness value to show them up as anymore resilient.

TrawlingCleaner Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Reaper autocannon has Devastating Wounds and Sustained Hits! Oh my! Plague Spewers are ace too! Another notch for Combi-Weapons too. Axes and Swords being combined, much like Accursed weapons is nice. Looking forward to seeing what else DG get!

Everything they showed was very much anti-infantry Just about everything has Lethal Hits, so ignoring the vehicles high toughness will help quite a bit. Kind of sad to see DR gone as that gives credence to the rumor that wraith constructs lost their damage reduction.

Tokugawa Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Disappointed! When toughness stretched to range of 3-14, either -1 toughness to opponent or 1 higher toughness on self profile doesn't make much sense.

Medicinal Carrots Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 The Plaguecaster's pistol doesn't have the [pistol] rule, which is interesting. On the one hand, that means you can shoot it and the plague wind together. On the other, it means you can't shoot it in melee.

Orange Knight Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) It's a shame they didn't preview the Plague Marines and Mortarion, I would have assumed he was a given after seeing some (not all) other factions get their their epic heroes unveiled. I thing reducing the toughness aura is a good rule, and it will be an effective way of dealing with some of the vehicles that boast high durability, but it will require a combination of units to take advantage of it fully. From this brief glance it appears the faction will have an abundance of weapons with Devastating Wounds and Lethal Hits, but it's hard to judge at this point.

The worst part (besides losing DR and the extra durability) is the contagion is the faction ability and not the detachment ability, which means I can't swap it out in 1+ years when they release the codex (cause GW can't make more than 9 codexes in the first year for some reason).

Thanks GW! Eh, I think there's a solid chance that the Faction abilities change with Codex releases. They haven't ruled that out, and some of these early index Faction Abilities are a little lackluster.

Less durability, less movement, pigeonholing into melee even though they are the slowest army in 40k, weapons still being strength 4-8, multi meltas only being S9, Mortarion probably losing his -1D and 5+++, characters like the plaguecaster joining squads and then not interacting with them unless they fail a test and causes mortal wounds to them.

Conversely it makes those meltas a lot easier to stick and it helps them still chew through infantry like nobody's business with all the extra stuff on. 1 minute ago, Special Officer Doofy said: Less durability, less movement, pigeonholing into melee even though they are the slowest army in 40k, weapons still being strength 4-8, multi meltas only being S9, Mortarion probably losing his -1D and 5+++, characters like the plaguecaster joining squads and then not interacting with them unless they fail a test and causes mortal wounds to them.

KingYertle Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I am having trouble comprehending the decision to dump Disgustingly Resilient. DR has been the core ability of a Plague Marine for some 25 years. It was literally the heart and soul of the faction. Really makes the DG feel lackluster unless there is something significant that wasn't previewed. GW really just killed my excitement for 10th edition.

No, it just means it will always wound on that value. To make it into mortals it would need to have "devastating wounds".
