Just gonna repost this specific comment here:

This unit appears to be straight replacing the DW Veterans kit since the Vets have disappeared from the Webstore already so they might just inherit the old DW Vets ability.

Edit: Also KT Cassius is finally gone despite being a Legends unit for almost a year now.
Presumably it was kept around because of DW Vets customisation so once they went so did the Legends unit (surprised the Firstborn Upgrade Sprue isn't gone yet tbh).
