Rage-Fuelled Warrior increased in points 

Bloodless Angels no more

Some Death Company units reduced in points

 

Thoughts?

Given that I have just finished paining a Captain to use RFW and a Phobos Lt to lead my Reivers, I am feeling slightly salty. I haven't looked at the DC points reductions yet.

 

The loss of Bloodless Angels is a shame but not entirely surprising. I hadn't got around to trying it yet but my vanilla Space Wolves were appreciating it.

Probably worth a mention that you also now cannot sidestep the "No Divergent Chapter Marines" thing to get the OoM buff by running LAG with no BA.

 

It's now locked to both Codex: SM detachments (and their Grotmas Detachment) as well as no Divergent Chapter Marines.

Overall a boring update. The death company no one uses got reduced, and big bricks of them got reduced even further. All 3 people who are playing Lost Brotherhood will politely clap before realizing it didn't save them enough points to DO anything with.

 

We needed a drop on jump pack dc by like 10 points and we could stand a drop on some of our heroes.

 

Baal Predator being the only predator to not get slapped with an increase is interesting, but probably indicative that they've forgotten about it entirely.
