More 11th Edition Boxset Rumours

I’d love for a more buff based speeder, smaller than a storm and focused around supporting units. Small things like letting units that can deep strike use it as a teleport homer, giving the smoke keyword to nearby units, giving out a modifier to hit, letting you generate Command Points if it’s in the enemy’s deployment zone.

 

We have many a transport already and scouts don’t need one, especially as they have uppy-downy now for free. Storm Speeders are fast and give us offensive buffs + damage, and we have a myriad of transports. Some more support units in our roster would be lush!

I'll be that guy.

 

I know it'll happen anyway, as surely as the sun rises and sets, but marines don't really need anything and it does suck for everyone else that there's even a debate over the marines 10th concurrent transport datasheet when some armies have fewer kits than marines have transport entries.

 

Do they also need a mobile buffing platform? Not really, there's nothing they really need. I know it'll happen regardless, but I just felt it needed highlighting that literally anything released is in "nice to have" unless it's multipart versions of etb or old kits.

I forgot drop pods, so on technicality maybe the 11th transport.

 

Edit: this was an edit, but it did it as a separate post. Sorry.

The current speeders are already buff/debuff machines, so it wouldn't be too far out.

I doubt they'll do an aura though.  They want aura's to be pricey, currently.

The two units are not identical but their purpose and function on the tabletop is similar:

 

-Both carry less than 10 models.

-Both move quickly across the tabletop

-Both have unique disembarkation related rules

-Both allow the unit inside to shoot whilst in the transport

-Both vehicles have a focus on anti infantry firepower

 

Two units don't have to be exactly the same to have commonality.

 

On top of this, I'm also saying that it would be weird to have a Scout-only transport in a boxset with no Scouts.

By that metric the impulsor and the land raider or repulsor are basically the same.

The land raider and the repulsor aren't exactly a million miles apart in function, the land raider crusader is the closest analogue to the stock repulsor maybe? 10+ mini transport with a good volume of firepower and fairly tough - checks both units boxes.

Has there been any rumours on what the Ork side of things will be?

 

I'm guessing new Boyz, perhaps new Nobz. The Trukk desperately needs a new kit, that could be the new big model for them? 

I think Flash Gitz have been rumoured or heavily suppositioned?
