Which is kind of dumb, but concessions have to be made for the sake of gameplay. Even then, the Marine structures have drop rigs around them, whereas this thing has the stabilisation vanes from the top of a drop pod built into it half way up; with a bunch of rockets strapped to the top, and it's filled with promethium!


I mean when has 40k ever really cared about safety? They have guns that might explode on the user.

The guns in question are often more valuable than the person holding them so who cares? Buildings are expensive though.

Load bearing walls are canonically heresy in 40k so maybe making OSHA cry is a design goal?

What? What's that from? That seems odd even for 40k, I mean the load needs bearing somewhere right? Do they magic it all somewhere else???

Orbital drop brick is now the dumbest design in the marine arsenal. On account of being a brick with no deceleration anything, some random nonfunctional fins just to visually tie it to the drop pod, and nonfunctional legs that apparently come collapsed and then deploy to do absolutely nothing.

The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.

Dang. Psykers and psyker units that kill themselves due to Perils cause D3 mortal wounds to all units within 6" of them.

Hehe, the Daemon stratagem that causes psykers to take 2d3 mortal wounds for perils instead of a D3 is now more valuable.

That's the only change I see to psychic.

Last line should've been "The Omnissiah wills it" and you'd have been pretty correct.

Annoyingly the concept could have worked - have them deployed via Thunderhawk Transporter, and then have the legs lift if off the ground slightly in order to level it.
(Plus ditch the non-functional fins and presumably pointless vision ports).

They were being all cheeky about the term 'warp charge' as if something was changing, but it looks like nothing changed (other than better wording).

It would take as little as putting a Repulsor grav plate on each corner instead of the legs to make it at least in-universe sensible, if not real world sensible. But it's not even that. Or ideally it would look like something that transformed into a turret from a Drop Poddy shape after touchdown.

I wonder if we’re effectively only seeing the “top” of the turret and the idea is that it doesn’t decelerate, buries itself and then the “legs” pull it up level.

If that’s how it works, it’s not been executed very well but.... maybe?

Vex mask is also one unit within 6". A targeted ASL that you don't even need to be in combat to use (unlike Armor of Russ) is incredibly powerful against a combat army. A lot of armies just have no real answer to it.


I mean, it's on a mediocre close combat character in an army that isn't great a close combat in general (or at the very least prefers shooting quite a bit). It'll feth up something like a unit of Boyz or Banshees, but most real CQC units won't care all that much.

That's been in the whole of 8th edition! Or have I gone mad and imagined it?

I kinda love it, not gonna lie. Unless those are flamers on the outside of it, then it's just kinda stupid.

For all of 8th.

Unless I missed something obvious, it appears you can multi-smite with the same character now.

Spoiler:

So, we have three options here.

Either the "can't modify below 1" rule/FAQ is gone, and Plasma now only overheats 1/6th of a time (it just overheats on a 2 instead of a 1)...

Or Terminators now have effective 2++ saves.

Or we might be lucky and a core rule prevents the Sv characteristic from being modified to better than 2+.

I don't know which one I am more afraid of.

I guess I never had psykers pop from perils so I never encountered it. And my rulebook is too far away and buried to be bothered.
