The one from Overkill was Assault 2, it seems to be the same one just with the Impact special rule on the long range mode.

Terminators are more expensive. They better have Special Ammunition too...

No restrictions on the number of heavy weapons on terminators? That could get interesting!

The terminator from Overkill also had this. But his were master crafted because he is a Salamander. So doesn't seem that crazy...

Tau already have something similar, albeit it's a signature system (one per army)...

Well its a melta gun you can use outside of combat that once you charge you can use the fist to punch things.

doesn't seem that crazy.

not as much as those frag cannons

I could see terminators being used for once this way, now they can pull double duty. Melta a transport to death then charge the juicy insides. Nasty.

No Techmarines?

That seems feasible; charge out of a Landraider Crusader to add extra spice to the mix?

Did someone mention that you would get special bonuses depending on each marine's chapter? Im sure I heard that a while ago.

It has 3 modes:

16" S4, AP-, Assault 2 Shred
16"S4 AP4 Assault 2
Template, S3, AP6, Assault 1

So you pick which ammo each of your shotgun wielding dudes uses in the shooting phase, then fire the selected profile

So, the Corvus is pretty much their version of a Stormraven. Nice.

So it looks like the codex is written in such a way that all of the DW:O guys are playable. Only now you can put them with their appropriate units. I am looking forward to getting some more bikes, more jump pack Marines, and a lot of Veteran squads made.

Holy crap, that flyer's an assault vehicle... That can carry bikes...

Nice, finally usable, i guess...

Any info on the scenario/booklety bits? Wondering if you can play a game with what's included in the set. I don't have a real interest in getting back into 40k but could possibly see this as a self-contained boxed game if the scenario lets you play just with the contents.

So many cool weapons!
Guess I will need like 4 boxes so I can make "devastator" squads with 4 frag cannons and 4 heavy bolter/flamers

Million dollar question: do they have access to grav weapons, more specifically grav cannons?

No Special Weapons on the Bikes other than power swords and meltabombs?

So, Vanguard Veterans with special ammunition. Meaning special ammunition on bolt pistols?

Oh mamma. It's looking more and more like I'm gonna build Deathwatch instead of Raven Guard. Upgrade sprue + BaC = Mk IV Deathwatch. Too bad it looks like no using the contemptor dread.

Just use it as a normal dread?
