Looks like infantry are going to get decimated along with the new blast rules

I assume these are a modification to the current rules, and we still have things like minimum move value, and one 90 degree turn at the beginning of movement if they started on the board. If so they seem ok, a few common sense updates, but nothing that is going to make "aircraft" fly off of the shelfs. To be fair though, aircraft weren't too exciting in 8th ed after boots on the ground, aside from the eldar/dark eldar.

Let's look at the bright side. Helldrake Harpies and Crons can be LoS blocked by a 5" inch obscuring element now. If we get the clarification that wings don't matter for LoS, nid flyers could finally appear on the tables.

I thought that, it can’t be right. I’m expecting some new rules for flying beasts aswell

One of the good points 8th edition had was about flyers being part of the game for the entire battle. I hated the 7th edition mechanics about flyers starting from the reserve and flying off the board to come out later.

More free deepstriking tools, which is bad.
