On the one hand, I hate that it has taken this long for GW to finally let me make a custom Chapter with proper tactics/relics/a Chapter Master.

But on the other hand...how soon can we expect absolutely broken combos with the new custom chapter tactics?

If you think they went overboard with this book then imagine how the next ones for other factions are going to be. If you think crazy rules and supplements are gonna stop here than you're too naive, and tbh I'm kinda looking forward to it.

We better get just as good rules for DIY CSM warbands...

So with the +1 wounds, I guess this confirms Gravis are the new Terminators for Primaris then?

Sucks, I was really hoping for at least one new update of the old kits...

Can't wait for the absolutely wild over reactions to the new book. It happens every single release, I remember when GSC were released and everyone lost their minds bit I've never seen them actually used before.

Rules in a vacuum always look like either pure gold or pure crap. No one ever considers what other armies can have to counter them. I still remember when Custodes first got their codex and some people said they would break the game. LOL

So can someone clarify for the wording of the Successor Chapter rule; Can you still take one extra Chapter Tactic, so you can have say, Salamander Chapter Tactics + the +3" to ranged weapons CT.
Or is it only the founding Chapter Tactics and nothing else?

only the founding chapter.

Yeah that makes sense, watching the GMG video he worded it like you could take the founding CT AND one extra one, which made no sense because then EVERYONE would run successor chapters.

So is there any way for successor chapters to use Chapter Relics? Some of them look pretty good.

You can get one by paying an extra CP of successor tax.

Dang, that might be kinda steep.

telling SW, DA, BA fans that they have to buy 2 books instead of 1 to play their army is sure to go over like a lead weight from a PR POV

Its the same for every chapter except MAYBE for custom ones with unknown foundings.
