Love the Abhuman detachment for Guard.  

 

Also intrigued by persistent battleshock- adds teeth to fear-based units and detachments.

That's weird to me. 

 

If NONE of the existing 10e detachments are 3 points, that's serious power creep for every army in the game. I had assumed MOST would be 3 points, with only the under performers coming in at 2.

Tend to agree, I’m not even convinced all three new blood angels ones combined are as good as pure LAG or Angelic Inheritors for blood angels.

It's marketing speak so keep that in mind. I would expect things like Gladius and LAG to be something that remains 3 points.

Personally, I don’t think the previewed Death Company detachment rules, stacked on top of LAG or AI, add too much power. That -at the moment- makes me okay with LAG, Gladius, etc being 2 points. I’m more worried about Librarium Conclave combined with Firestorm.

The Death Company one previewed is frankly trash. One model at minimum dies for the Advance + Charge. No thanks.
