Notes

1. Outrider Squads can contain up to one Invader ATV

2. This unit can join a squad even if one Captain or Chapter Master has already been attached to it.

3. This unit can join a squad even if one Captain or Chapter Master, or Lieutenant model has been added to it. This implies that you cannot add them to squads that already contain a Lieutenant AND a Captain or Chapter Master.

4. Interestingly, this allows for a Lieutenant in Terminator Armour, which doesn’t yet exist, but I wouldn’t read too much into this.

Common rules

• Rites of Battle: Once per battle round, one unit from your army with this ability can be targeted by a Stratagem for 0CP, even if another unit from your army has already been targeted by that Stratagem this phase.

• Finest Hour: Once per battle, at the start of the Fight phase, this model can use this ability. If it does, until the end of the phase, add 3 to the Attacks characteristic of melee weapons equipped by this model and those weapons have the [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] ability.

• Tactical Precision: While this model is leading a unit, weapons equipped by models in that unit have the [LETHAL HITS] ability.

• Target Priority: This model’s unit is eligible to shoot and declare a charge in a turn in which it Fell Back.

• Psychic Hood: While this model is leading a unit, models in that unit have the Feel No Pain 4+ ability against Psychic Attacks.

• Mental Fortress (Psychic): While this model is leading a unit, models in that unit have a 4+ invulnerable save.

• Litany of Hate: While this model is leading a unit, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, add 1 to the Wound roll.

• Spiritual Leader: Once per battle, at the start of any phase, you can select one friendly Adeptus Astartes unit that is Battle-shocked and within 12" of this model. That unit is no longer Battle-shocked.

• Techmarine: While this model is within 3" of one or more friendly Adeptus Astartes Vehicle units, this model has the Lone Operative ability.

• Blessing of the Omnissiah: In your Command phase, you can select one friendly Adeptus Astartes Vehicle model within 3" of this model. That model regains up to D3 lost wounds and, until the start of your next Command phase, each time that Vehicle model makes an attack, add 1 to the Hit roll. Each model can only be selected for this ability once per turn.

• Vengeance of the Omnissiah: If a friendly Adeptus Astartes Vehicle model is destroyed within 12" of this model, until the end of the battle, this model’s Omnissian power axe has an Attacks characteristic of 7.

• Astartes Banner: While this model is leading a unit, add 1 to the Objective Control characteristic of models in that unit.

Weirdness

• The Primaris Captain can be equipped with a power fist AND with a bolt pistol and master-crafted bolt rifle. This is a new load out.

Reivers lt is crap

 

 

[CCE1981]

What is fun is that you can Heroically Intervene with three units in n a turn all for a total of 2CP.  A unit, the Company Champions Unit and a Captains Unit.   I think 3x Bladeguard units, one led be a Judicier, one by a Captain, and one by a Company Champion.

Much less crappy than before. They have precision so could attack characters directly, and -1ld is no longer nothing in 10th. Still hit like noodles though.

[Starlight_Wolf]

Also if he's attached to a Hounds of Morkai unit, the Howl of Morkai ability does go from 12' (native) to 18' (+LT) to 21' (+Terror Troops). May not be great but gives a very big bubble of options to potentially turn a squad off from holding an objective that turn, may not hit hard, but could be a major pain making your opponent divert resources to deal with them

[Karhedron]

Reivers are not especially killy in themselves but the increased importance of Characters and Ld in 10th does give them a solid role in messing up the enemy. Plenty of armies that rely on fragile buffing Characters will fear these guys. Eldar Pyskers, Tau Ethereals, Guard are all going to be nervous around a squad of these guys. MEQ characters won't have so much to fear but even so, failing a Battleshock test at an inconvenient moment could easily cost you 5 VPs.

Doesn’t look like he can.

He cannot - no Leader ability.

[yan]

Does that mean he can be shot anytime?

yuuup

 

You hide him (waste of points) or operation dumbo drop him from a storm raven using rapid ingress

 

But he isn't worth it...I'm gonna see if I can make murderfang work with the storm raven (if the points aren't stupid high)

[yan]

Murderfang seems like the beast he's ment to be. Lets hope he's reasonable priced indeed

[TiguriusX]

There is 1 whacky usage for Bjorn

 

Take bjorn + callidus assassin

 

The combo essentially shuts down enemy stratagem usage 

 

Increase 1 stratagem by 2

or

increase 2 stratagems by 1
