As title says I have the BA Codex in hand, ask away!

**Paradigm**

Awesome, thanks for doing this!

Questions:
Can Sanguinary Priests take Terminator Armour?
Do Assaults still get discounts on Transports if they remove Jump Packs?
What are the minimum/maximum Death Co squad size?
Can Tactical/Assault Sergeants wield 2 upgraded pistols?

**cygnnus**

Did I hear correctly that Assault Squads were moved out of troops? Did any of the BA "supercharged" vehicles slow down? Did Dante finally get Eternal Warrior? Finally, can BA Land Raiders still deep strike?

Valete,

JohnS

Priests can't take Terminator Armor
If they remove their jump packs, they get a rhino, or drop pod for free!
Death company - 5 minimum, 15 maximum
It says they mate take items from the lists, so I would say yes, 2 different pistols is allowed.

**Eldarain**

So no discount on Razorbacks for jumpers?
Can you take multiple Death Companies?

**Hulksmash**

Landspeeder Storm an option for Scouts?

Valete,

Assault marines are not troops any more.
Only vehicles that are fast are Baal predators. rhino, and razorbacks
Dante is EW
BA LR cannot deepstrike as far as I saw.

**Eldarain**

Someone posted you can upgrade the normal predator and Vindicator to be fast as well. True?

Eldarain wrote:So no discount on Razorbacks for jumpers?

No discount for Razrobacks for Assault marines, in fact it isn't even an option to take it as a transport, have to use a heavy slot to get a razorback for assault marines.
No restriction on how many units of Death Company you can take.

It is not.

There is, itas farily cheap.

**alanmckenzie**

Has the storm raven moved to FA?
I understand Sanguinary priests are now HQ, can you still take up to 3 per slot?
Can devs take flak missiles?
Only terminators can take landraiders as DT?

Thanks

Raven is heavy.
Orly one per slot, so max 2 per detachment, allowing for no other HQs
Yes 10pts each.
Yes only Terminators can.

Also there is Tycho 1 and Tycho 2!

Please do NOT post pictures/scans of released books, and certainly don't upload them to the Dakka gallery. --Janthkin

**Vaktathi**

Does the Baal still have Scout now that it's in HS?

Do ASM's still have the option for double special weapons or are they back to just Plasma Pistols? Can they still get Razorback transports?

**Orblivion**

Were the rumored changes to Mephiston true? Lower statline but IC?

**endlesswaltz123**

Can you post the Death company squad options please!

**twinner**

Baal no longer have scout :(
They can take 2 special weapons still, but they don't have RB as transports. TO get a RB for them you would have to use a Fast attack spot.

**Vaktathi**

Interesting, I guessed they'd lose Scout, but the ASM's not being able to take a Razorback is somewhat surprising.

actually, I just checked C:SM, apparently they made that change there too, hadn't realized that. Looks like they're *really* bringing them back into the "Codex Adherent" mode.

Are Baals cheaper, or at least have cheaper sponsons?

Point costs on Astorath, Mephiston, Sanguinor and Dante?

**lobbywatson**

How many points were the DC each sir? I can't see in the pic. You rock btw.

Are Furiosos still WS6? And did DC dreads get WS4 like the DC?

**PastelAvenger**

I was dreading that Sanguinary Priest were going to be 1 per HQ

Are you still able to take a Chaplain as an Elite choice?

**lobbywatson**

Thanks! I'll have your baby now if you'd like!

A quick refresher on the guidelines from the army lists forum may be beneficial, as you're violating them very well. Yes, everyone wants to know everything, but this forum typically doesn't allow it.

Furioso - WS5
DC Dread - WS4

Chaplain = HQ, although Lemartes = Elite

As a nurse I need to inform you it is not possible for a man to give birth.

**soomemafia**

Are Dante and Gabriel Seth Lords of War?

Is there any way of making Assault Marines troops again (such as a HQ choice for example)?

What are the point costs of Assault, Tactical and Devastator Marines?

Do you have to buy the Veteran Sergeant for squads?

What are the changes to Sanguinior?

Any new units/models?

Thanks in advance!
(sorry for all the questions xD)

**Motograter**

Silly question but if you take a death company squad can it include a DC dread as a single elite choice or would that be two slots

Terminators as the new kit comes with a banner can you take terminator command squads?

Can the priests be given jump packs or bikes as they cant take termie armour?

**BeeCee**

Can Sanguinary Priests take bikes/jump packs?

3ppm for jump pack? 15 for bike?

Thanks, but I am not doing anything different then found in the News and Rumor thread, if something is not allowed I would ask a moderator to tell me what specifically and I will take care of it. If this needs to be moved to the news and rumors then please do so. Thanks!
