It is pretty sweet currently but there is no way it is going to survive a FAQ. If it was intended to be infinite missiles, why is it 'take 4' of a heavy 1 missile, instead of Hellfire Missiles -- Heavy 4? They have never been multi use before and I doubt they are supposed to be now... almost always if a missile weapon is multi use it is described as a launcher of some kind, not as just the missile. I'd be floored if that is RAI.
I think almost certainly it is intended, actually. A lot of missile weapons on flyers that were previously one-use lost that designation in 8th, and making them 'heavy 4' doesn't account for the fact that different planes get different amounts of them and with them as separate weapons each missile can target something different. Plus, they're obscenely over-costed at 20 points a pop if they are one-use, but quite accurately costed as roughly as good as a Lascannon if they can be used unlimited times. I'll be floored if they FAQ them to be one-use (at least, without a points-cost amendment as well).

Nonsense. The Battle Company box is perfect for filling out your ranks of aspect warriors with a large contingent from the Screaming Baldies shrine.

Am I correct to assume that DKoK can no longer use the Earthshaker carriage, and if I want to use an Earthshaker carriage, I would have to include it as an ally with a generic IG crew?
Same kind of goes for the Hades, it becomes pretty meaningless if I have to purchase it with a generic squad of veterans. It's like they didn't proof-read this at all.
Correct, but not only that, my Gorgon and Malcadors are not useable by Krieg units anymore either....but the AM get them...why DKK get the units listed but not ones that have been part of their core lists since Vraks amazes me. So much for them supporting existing armies.
It's an update of the Assault Brigade army list from Imperial Armour 12 - The Fall of Orpheus. That list never had fixed heavy artillery nor tanks heavier than Leman Russ, and to save space FW did not include Combat Engineers with Hades Breaching Drills Combat Engineers with Rapier Laser Destroyers.
The Assault Brigade had the Gorgon.
It sure as gak ain't listed in the index of the book.
The book was also written during 6th, before lords of war become a standard unit in the codices, nor can I ever remember seeing it there. If you're referring to the pdf they released, it was just an addon and we might as well complain about any of the units the DKoK could ever take (which, as they counted as IG, was more or less everything IG could take).
Either way, I'm absolutely certain the Assault Brigade had access to the Hades crewed by engineers.
so no.
