So... anyone want to take a guess? i'm assuming Intercessor stats, higher move combat knives give +1 attack pistols are pistols and they give models in CC with them -1 to LD or something.

Anyone else slightly grumpy that "Reaver/Reiver" now means another thing? "Reavers..." "Hold on. Do you mean the Primaris thing, the Dark Eldar jetbike, or the Corsair infantry? Or have I stumbled into a conversation about Firefly?"

you forgot the horus heresy era Sons of Horus unit



that said my guess is 4+ armor, 5+ str (they specificly noted the enhanced muscles and how it can punch out a building, my guess is they'll thus claim "cause armor doesn't weigh it down it's super strong now. at which we'll all facepalm, and beat GW over the head with physics books) a 7-8 speed. infiltrate, and a leadership reduction bubble.

I'm mostly curious why they decided to go with Reiver, as that is just an archaic spelling of Reaver, and both basically mean Raider or Robber.

I wonder if they'll be better than assault centurions, which are total garbage.

my guess is power knife like the custodies.

str user ap -2 D1 and gives an extra cc attack

depending on points they might be base 2 attacks for 3 attacks each and a bolt pistol the looks bigger so maybe 15 or 18 inch range but could be normal 12 inch.

likely -1 to hit with the fluff on the cloaks. and they are fast so maybe 1 extra inch movement. I expect them to be pretty points expensive if they get all that to match the book though

I don't think they'll get 4+ armor that's guard territory. or militarium tempestus or however you spell it, back in my day it was all just guard.

scout marines would beg to differ.

true, though I would be surprised at 4+ save on super space marines, but it might be a way to make them cost less if the profile I think they will have is correct

They have power armour, I'm pretty sure they have 3+ save.

But its different to be quiet, so perhaps had some armor panels removed

Scout marines aren't full marines. they also have NO power armor but carapace armor, reivers have full power armor, it's just different power armor the bits about it being lighter are just for the extra movement. i bet you a reiver squad they're a 3+

Hopefully they allow more than 3-5 per unit or else they will be useless.

99% chance Units of 3 only as the primaris infantry and non HQs are all pretty much uncustomizable. maybe that changes in the new codex and we get primaris special/heavy weapons.
