With the cost of large retirement, the survivors get quite decent rules.

Just a thought on Archangel's Shard. Still pretty poor (especially compared to the much better Black Death in the SW Index). But one possible use is a Captain on foot with Relic Weapon leading some Assault Intercessors. Trigger "Finest Hour" for +3A and Dev Wounds. So crits on a 5+ with rerolls to Wound. Still situational but at least it is a use case.

Eh, Anti-Chaos is usually a pretty good tag because Chaos is a pretty well represented faction in comp/higher level play.
The benefit to an Anti-X Keyword without something that procs off a Crit is that, no matter the penalties of the roll, if you roll the Anti-X amount that becomes a Crit and therefore automatically successful.

Of course, to get the most out of that benefit, you need the Anti-X to be a value that's *better* than the normal target.

A 5+ usually isn't tho, so it's not that worth it.

 

Lance is good tho since a +1 to Wound is always appreciated.
As such, you're probably taking that for Lance rather than the Anti-Chaos 5+.

Yeah, funnily enough a Techmarine is really nasty with that, as his Axe is I think Str7, and he gets a lot of attacks if a vehicle dies near him, up to 7 axe and 1 servo-arm I believe.

Looks good to me. Looking forward to seeing rules for Sanguinor.
