Some good looking changes, -1 to hit thing is big, and a move in the right direction.

If accurate, super happy to see the -1 trait disappear. That's the biggest and best change if it happens.

Glad to see that (hopefully) GW saw sense and instead of increasing points costs of popular choices instead decreased the costs of unpopular choices.

Glad to see my wish for cheaper Custodian wardens and Allarus terminators was granted. The big one though if true is Trajaan Valoris being 175pts rather than 250pts. That is a MASSIVE reduction but sorely needed as he simply was too expensive to take.

Also good to see named characters getting cheaper. I haven't seen any apart from Rowboat Girlyman twice since I started playing 8th.

Now Gunline players are rejoicing about the removing of the -1 to hit. Worst decision easily so far from these rumors.

I like that Intercessors are getting a slight price cut. That would mean 1-2 points like I predicted.

I'm fine with them knocking the crutch away if we see 5pt guardsmen and nerfs to other common no-funline elements (venoms, kabs, fire warriors, etc)

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

Reduced points won't make marines better.. they need to actually design units and abilities to not be terrible. Quick and dirty cost changes are pretty much the absolute minimum work that could be done (beyond doing nothing).

I personally want marines to be 13-15 pts a model but actually be 4x better than a damn guardsman instead of functionally worse.

So is -1 to hit on a Fire Prism, but that has been a thing. Chapter Tactics absolutely need to apply to vehicles, because other factions' trait do. It's only fair
I also disagree with you that converting -1 to hit traits into +1 Cover save is a bad decision. It will stop stacking -1 penalties from reaching outrageous/unfair levels against armies that aren't pure gunlines

I agree overall, but that ship has sailed. GW should have made all Marines have the Primaris statline from the start of 8E, but that didn't happen.
We'll have to live with their minimum effort. And if that means hordes get more expensive, while Marines get cheaper, it may balance out to make a Marine better than 2-3 Guardsmen

Disclaimer: Conspiracy theory time...

I wonder if we'll see a subtle move to make Primaris units better than normal Marines (which are, admittedly, floundering at the moment). It would serve the greater goal...

PS: I think Space Marines should indeed have their usual Chapter Tactics available on all models. I believe they assumed it would be too powerful when the first codex was being written (same reason they have such limited and expensive stratagems). I think they've seen the absurdity of what came later and should hopefully realize it won't hurt letting the marines benefit a bit more from traits. I'm genuinely curious if we'll see more chapter traits rewritten.

Is anyone else kind of relieved that Sisters are still about a year out?

The more time I have to save, the more likely I'll be able to spring for a brand new army up-front.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

yeah, at this point it's like

Oh no, ultramarine vehicles will be able to fall back and shoot at -1BS...kind of like how my Blood Axe vehicle can fall back, charge or shoot at full bs, and counts as being in cover at 18+".

oh no salamander vehicles will get reroll to hit and wound. Kind of like how my deffskull vehicle gets reroll to hit, wound, and damage, and a 6++.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I do believe that marine players did empty their clips into their own feet with all the crying that "X faction is just Marines +1 now!!!" in previous eds, and that's pooooossibly why all marine codexes and not just the first one had that stupid rule...but at this point it's just comical.

Disappointing, but not surprising. That's their shiny new model, and I'm sure they have more variations in the pipeline. IK are probably the hottest seller out there right now as everyone has some sort of imperium or chaos army lying around, and every imperium/chaos army would benefit from bringing some flavor of IK.

It’s certainly true that rule changes are required for marines – not just points changes. I’d like it if “The Holy Bolter” had some kind of effect in a game of 40k, for example.

In the meantime though, if my little dudes are going to have no effect, I’m glad not to have to pay so much for them. Wonder if Pedro will get cheaper.

I also play Tau and it’s good to see crisis suits coming down in points a bit. What they really need though is cheaper guns, which are the majority of their cost. It ought to be obvious that a gun is worth more on a 6-wound character with 2+ BS and a 20” move than on a 3-wound model with 4+ BS. On the other hand I’m hoping that nobody notices that my fire warriors now cost the same as ork boyz.

My knights will be happy. Lately I’ve mostly been using just Questoris knights, and only ones with avenger gatling cannons. I can happily have four of those at 1750, and may as well carry on doing so I think.

Wait, If cultists go up to 5 ppm, then i expect Guardsmen also to go up to 5 ppm? Does that mean, that R&H militia and mutants now have a place?

-1 to hit is kinda double edged, in case of AL and RG they got allready nerfed to gak sooo.

Nothing much done on knights will mean that we still will have soup + Knight = BS , so disapointing i guess.
