Well.... this may bode well for Raven Guard in 10th :)

So the stealth ability, as set out in leaked copy of the 10th edition rules is a simple -1 to hit. No distance requirement. If Raven Guard units or detachments get this across the board, or even just for infantry, I can see this being meaningful without being over-powered. Thoughts from the rest of the sneaky flock?

Hard to tell tbh 

 

Maybe there will be a army bonus that gives everyone stealth. Would be nice, the faction bonus will be more streamline and slightly more generic based on the IG codex and what weve seen so far, who knows 

 

I wouldn't mind another buff, than just were hard to see / shoot

It is not capped at a range band like previous but like @duz_ said it would be nice to see more than hard see/ shoot

I suspect that the vanguard Spearhead army of renown rules are likely to be a 'beta' version of what a phobos/ sneaky / Raven Guard detachment rule set might be. If so, then the stealth rule combined with +1 to hit with ranged attacks if an infantry model moved at least 4" wouldn't be the worst thing ever. Still, due to the increased toughness range mooted for 10th, without expanding the list of models that can be taken to include land speeders, such a detachment would really struggle against heavy targets.

 

Still, it would be fluffy :D
