Twin-linked Weapons

In the new Warhammer 40,000, twin-linked weapons instead get double the number of shots at half range. - was removed - website changed. Now just double number of shots.

Combi-weapons
Another type of weapon that is changing is the combi-weapon. While in the current edition you can only shoot the “specialist” portion of the gun once, in the new Warhammer 40,000 you can either shoot both all the time, but at a -1 to hit modifier, or choose to just shoot one with no modifier. no longer just one-hit-wonders with those shooting attacks.

Explosives
in the new Warhammer 40,000, these are resolved much faster by just using a random number of shots. This represents either how many warriors are caught in the explosion, or how direct the hit is on a larger single-model target. Otherwise, these work exactly as any other shooting.

How much you want to be that units that can take 2 weapons like tau suits with multitrackers can shot each weapon at a different target or choose to take twinlinked weapons to double the shots.

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the change to Combi-Weapons.

A simple, universal cost of 5 points like on Space Wolf and Chaos Terminators would've been the easiest way to go about it. If they were going to go this route, I would've preferred a much bigger negative modifier.

Outside of that, loving the profiles for the Battle Cannon, Melta Gun, and TL rules.

We have no idea what any of these weapons will cost....

This is the edition of "Bring max squad sizes of troops to absorb the punishment". As stated earlier, elite min unit armies look dead.
