70 pt 5 man tacticals make my CSM very sad (75 pts for 5 men, and we don't get the loyalist rules).

I think It'll be a strong army and it makes me curious as to what Vanilla SM will get, as everything becomes cheaper. Moreso, following this trend, what will Tau/Eldar (really cheap psykers?)/Orks (cheaper everything?) look like?

Im pretty angry about this......and the codex clearly has some broken rules. The overhaul they gave Samuel alone,

Skilled Rider + Stealth + Turbo Boost = 2+ cover for the Black Knights.
Flat Out + Shrouding = 2+ cover for the Darkshroud.

-not balanced

On a squad of bikes that cost like termies and an AV10 vehicle with 2 hull points.

On a squad of bikes (that are amazing this edition) that all have twin-linked plasma guns..... there is no comparison to termies here

As a Angel player since 4th I gotta say I am inlove with all the Detail and quirks of the units, Vetock wisely avoided the mistakes of Wolves, 5th ed knights, and Necrons, and gave great unit by unit flavor so they feel unique without leaving the opponent sorry he played you.

Though I can't help but feel sorry for basic Csm marines, compared to our Rites of battle ld10, stubborn, atsknf marines

Chaos got shafted, Dark Angels isnt the best codex ever written but it certainly is leagues better than the pike of gak called CSM.
