Has anyone else noticed that the tau got a piece of equipment called the
"Tactical urban navigation apparatus "
Which allows a certain number of fire warrior squads to stay in reserve and then come on from any board edge.
I wondered if anyone else noticed that the Acronym for this is T.U.N.A?
I figure they come on later than everyone else because they were busy fishing for the T.U.N.A, but other suggestions are welcome

T.U.N.A.

LOL!

Not to go too far off-topic, but did all armies get new stratagems?

I have not had a chance to see the WD yet and was wondering what Orks might have gotten in this regard?

Gah, my first month since four years without a white dwarf. price rises!

But TUNA, well personally I prefer

Slow Attack Laser Munition Obliterator Nuke

Sounds fishy to me...

Each army got a single new stratagem. Orks got something along the lines of Kommandos getting Move Through Cover(or maybe all Ork infantry got it).

Each army? Or did they lump the different Marines under a single Marine Stratagem?

All the armies got a stratagem.
The space marines all got lumped together I think, but grey knights got their own one, and the ork one gave Move through Cover to all ork infantry.
I also agree about the Slow Attack Laser Munition Obliterator Nuke (S.A.L.M.O.N for short), I think there should be more humour in the 40k universe, and not the kind of "wow that's so bad it's funny, blood angels teaming up with necrons funny, if you know what I mean

All ork infantry get it IIRC.

Chaos one is lets you select a building/ruin ?... as being corrupted/tainted. You get bonuses when using psychic powers against enemy units in the aforementioned building/ruin.

Non GK marines one is something akin to a "liturgies of battle" effect statue in X inches.

Do people still play Cities of Death? I personally have never played it but I can kinda see the appeal.

We're playing it at the moment.

It's a bit different as a fair few of the rules are in the 5th edition rules anyway now.. but that keeps things simple in a lot of ways. The strats. add a nice layer -- tank traps are, amazingly enough, a very popular choice -- and it's nice to be able to field units that you might not otherwise. Chaos raptors are actually proving quite handy again !

I play it semi-regularly.

I love urban themed boards.

I also play CoD but haven't had time recently. But before I go running to buy this White Dwarf. Do they completely over-hall the rules or just do a patch job on them?

Since i dont buy white dwarf anymore as im sure most of us dont i wont be buying this one unless its worth it.

Does any one know wat the stratagem for the imperial guard is ??? I own a cities of Death board and play on it regulary is the white dwarf update worth me wasting my money on ?????

Makes perfect sense and I am certain that it is by design. Think about it. Tau are inherently aquatic-themed. Air Caste, Manta, Devilfish, Barracuda, Remora, Tiger Shark, Orca, Piranha, Tetra, Hammerhead, etc.

The T.U.N.A. system fits right in. Funny, too.

When you read the article is says that this is to go along with a complete 5ed. update and FAQs currently on the GW site. I looked and its not there so I assume sience this is Julys issue it will show up on the website next month sometime.
