Is the "Enforcer" suit actually something different now?

The broadside and riptide character only have bs3 whilst the rest have bs5, I suppose they would be very dirty if they were bs5 as well...

Holy Tau'Va....

IT is kinda stupid they have BS3, they are kinda useless TBH other then making your riptide a warlord.

It rerolls ones and re-rolls nova reactor tests

Which can be put on a normal riptide

I don;t really see the point in taking any of that command team. Unless their wargear build up is ultimately a discount or something, I don't much see the worth in comparison to the old fashioned Farsight bombshell.

If they are all ic they can each go join a seperate unit right?

They're probably costed at normal commander prices too, running just 2 of those suits is gonna start stretching your point budget.

Yes, but you can get more.

Yeah, you can have the riptide character join a unit of stealth suits for some added stealth and shrouded.

I only have 1 riptide though, so that is useless.

Or another riptide for los shenninagans.

GW is perfectly ok with you buying another... really, they don't mind...

I was thinking it would be an interesting way of getting multiple bs5 drone controllers out there but i seem to be incorrect as only ONE of them has one. a bit disappointing.

4 man Missile fist squads sounds fun though.

I want this supplement very much -- but i refuse to buy an intangible codex. I guess i'll be waiting until november for this one....Good thing i can focus on my nids to keep me occupied.

Oh for the love of... an IC Riptide? For real? Well, good luck killing that.

It is just a durable as another one.

And can hide in a Fire Warrior squad, forcing you to kill them off first. Hence the whole IC thing.

A tide hiding in Warriors is t3. It won't hide there.

The print copy isn't until November?

It can also play stupid Look Out Sir tricks with it's shield drones.

A Riptide with 2 Shielded Missile Drones and 2 Broadsides however, remains T6.
Plus it has that 2+ LoS.

Yes, it's T3, but it also has 10 ablative wounds before you even get to allocate wounds to it. Wiping 10 Fire Warriors in cover in one turn of shooting is kinda hard, so if the unit starts to get low the Riptide can just prance away and park somewhere else.

October according to the black library website. But I probation wont get it until November.

In terms of fluff, can someone share what if anything is definitively revealed about Farsight? Do we know whether it is still the original Farsight or a successor with the same name? Do we know Farsight's ideology and goals for the enclaves? And do we get any clarification about Farsight's Dawnblade?

He definitly fought demons in Arthas. But he found out they are from the warp and are not xenos

The dawn blade is what keeps farsight alive. He does not know it but every kill he makes adds the balance of that persons life expectancy. It said if he knew he would kill himself. Sounds like a chaos weapon just not a sentient one

Could still be a Necron one with their super science that might as well be magic. Or it could be random artifact of unnamed or minor race. Not everything has to be Chaos.

Well that seems disappointing. i would of rather liked the necron angle better than a chaos one.
