I was looking at the preview of the Ad Mech for the new Apocalypse game (https://www.warhammer-community.com/2019/06/23/apocalypse-faction-focus-adeptus-mechanicusgw-homepage-post-4/) and I noticed something. In most of the other previews each army detachment has a special ability that is very similar to the (mostly) army wide special ability that army has in 40k; And they shall know no fear, battle focus, Dakka Dakka, etc. but looking at the Ad Mech preview it was different. Instead of the Canticles each detachment gets the Blessings of the Omnissiah which allows rerolls of 1 when making saving throws and two of the canticles are now command assets, more or less the equivalent of stratagems. Is this an indication of how things will be at some point in the future? Is the Ad Mech going to gain this ability and replace the Canticles and the Canticles instead become stratagems? Is this a good or bad idea?
