Marine Update Specific

[CCE1981]

So the general 40k update hit today:

For the Change log, check the "Index Cards" pdf:

 

Looks like lots of minor editorial fixes here, various bits of War gear, all Dreadnoughts now have the "Dreadnought" keywords, Wolf scouts are two wounds, taking a Special Weapon now gives you a Close Combat Weapon on various Squads, etc.

Good to have, but the first thing they should've added? A contents page so you don't have to memorise the order of 253 pages to be able to find the datasheet you are looking for...

Ctrl-F works on them

[Lysimachus]

That is true, but still...

 

If you use search to look for 'Infernus' (as an example) you have to go through all the search results eg Characters that can lead that type of Squad. Still a bit of a nuisance? Much easier to have a contents page?

 

(and would be amazing to have one that actually contained links to each related page, but maybe that is asking too much...)

Even simple bookmarks would solve that tbh

IMO there’s no excuse for the lack of bookmarks, frankly it wouldn’t even have been difficult to include hyperlinks from unit names in the leader sections to

the actual units

Considering how good they are about showing you what rules mean, I would think link cross-referencing could come pretty easily in an update.

The Dreadnought fix is great. Stormraven transport options just opened up!

Huh, what they didn't fix is the Bladeguard Vets. no where does it list a shield as equipment. Does that matter? Probably not, it's in the box / on the model - but it just feels like an oversight. Or is it just me being picky?

Hover mode Storm Ravens may be a decent pick now, especially for armies that want to shove a Brutalis and some close-range infantry into someone's face. Centurion party bus perhaps?

Since there's no way for them to not have them, I can understand the shortcut, but it does feel like there's something missing there.  Even if it was just under it's composition.
