Well, Imperial Agents probably aren't surviving as a codex this edition. Jesus.

Yeah, all their detachments are 3DP, they didn't even get new ones. Even Daemons got new detachments.

They might as well have not bothered at this point.

Imperial Agents not getting anything and all being 3dp makes sense in a way.

 

The entire point is to soup them with other armies, so they don't want to make the native IA army too good.

 

 

For everything else tho, it feels like if your Detachment was rated 3.8 ☆ out of 5 or higher in the meta its 3dp, which really kinda kills the hype for the new Detachment system.

Imperial Agents treatment has been a disgrace, really feels like a bait and switch from GW at this point. If they didn't want to support the codex, they should just have released it as an index, instead IA players saw the (full price) codex and battleforces released at launch and foolishly thought GW were commiting to supporting IA like all the rest.

The “assorted Imperial wierdos” lists have been kinda handwaved and ignored since 2nd edition. They are always in a strange place of trying to offer lots of options buy never really feeling right.

Just go back to the 3 "hunters" books.

 

It's an excuse to refresh GK, expand DW and I guess stick some random stuff in sisters.

 

I suspect this is the plan tbh, its the most logical explanation for the total lack of update on DW and IA.

I really hope that is the case! GW has almost all the models they need to do it already available, with all the Imperial weirdos out there now. Just need a multi-part Inquisitor with lots of options and an Inquisitorial Stormtroopers kit.

I'm all for it as an old school Witch Hunters fan, but I don't seem them rebranding Adepta Soroitas. I could still see their inclusion into the codex though

Ya know, something tells me that the Firestorm list I have will not majorly benefit from a few Deathwatch squads getting Furor Tactics or random Sisters models getting Sustained Hits on occasion.

That too does to a point make sense, as frustrating as it is. You don't want t bolt on extra rules to something already doing very well. (I'm quite annoyed that I can't use the Abhuman detachment with Grizzled Veterans. I mean it's been doing fine, but IIRC it's sitting pretty at 50% at the moment, not pulling Recon or Mech Assault numbers.) 

 

That being said, I'm sure after the first three months and the meta starts to settle, we'll see some reductions in a decent number of the 3DP detachments.
