10th edition has literally the loosest army creation rules ever! You need 1 Character to be your Warlord and that is it. Then pick 0-3 of as many units as you like and 0-6 Battleline. The Force Org charts of previous editions were far more restrictive.

Last I knew, we were limited to multiples of 5 (5, 10, 15, etc) for units. I may be wrong, I fully admit I checked out after 8 and what I saw from 10 didn’t fill me with hope or excitement.

Ah you mean miniatures in the units, and yeah they're often locked to multiples of whar you get in the box versus paying per model as pre-10th.

I'm just pleased that I don't have to buy yet another Codex (yet) - As someone who doesn't have a huge amount of time to play, seeing this as a 10.5 kinda edition is good for me. I like the sound of the objective changes and really like that we can lean into army theme a bit more and tie that in with some more narrative.

More detachments, and you can combine or mix and match?

 

Exactly the wrong design GW, impressive.

Yep, that’s what I meant. Thank you for clarifying that, I was having a hard time articulating the idea. 
 

Unfortunately, GW has kind of just… abandoned conversion opportunities and varied options / unit sizes. The models themselves may look a bit better nowadays, but it’s a hassle trying to give them any variation and it’s kind of turned me off from it as someone who prioritizes the hobby and personalization aspect of the game.

No problem, and I completely understand, it's something that's caused me a few issues from time to time when list building.

This is not sounding good for guard

 

From initial info, hitting on 5s before orders, even 4s with orders vs cover isn't great

 

Then, cant shoot units in cover, unless you get really close or said unit has shot

 

Infact sounds like your being punished for shooting

 

 

Or encouraging the use of scouts/spotters - you can shoot is you have a unit close enough, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that unit?  That's the impression I got from the admittedly imprecise blurb.
