only allows certain units with this keyword to be affected by army aura ability from HQs...who knows what else will come out of this "core" keyword.

I wonder...how much does this keyword cost in terms of points? Plus will this accomplish ANYTHING but make players only use "core" units. Yet again...more bad rules from GW. Thank you cry babies. Now even more units in our codex will be unplayable.

Well that didnt take long.

Blame Facebook.

It's hard to take any discussion about this seriously with that title. Of course given the post in general.. yeah this is just another whining post.

Methinks we're being a wee bit overdramatic here.

The core keyword appears like it'll apply to troops and some particular chosen units from other slots like Terminators, and in the example given, a Repulsor wouldn't benefit from the aura ability since it isn't Core.

I'm ok with this in concept. We'll see how execution goes, but I don't see how it makes SM's unplayable, nor do I see any argument being advanced as to why it's particularly bad.

EDIT: actually, imma lock this thread as we already have one that's discussing the Core topic that started a bit earlier here and is a bit less dramatic.

I, for one, like this change.

Less gunlines parked up around tanks? Works for me!

Seems like a great change to me.

Well It makes repulsors unplayable...and they are already unplayable.
