Centurions being S5 and T5 is a bit of a burn to Oblits

Do Tactical Squads have access to heavy flamers?

Do Assault Squads still have access to Storm Shields?

Only Sternguard and LotD can take Heavy Flamers.

Assault squads cannot take storm shields, however the sarge can take a combat shield.

However vanguard vets can take Storm Shields.

How are the chapter traits looking?

That is dissapointing, no Heavy Flamers for TAC Squads , in regards to Tactical Marines can a x5 man TAC Squad take a Drop Pod now?

Also how many points are Combi-Grav weapons for Sternguard?

And are Thunderfire Cannons on top of being Barrage Weapons (which is amazing BTW!) still relentless?

With regards to a white scars army, does a captain on bike make one or all bike squads onto troops?

He makes all bike squads into troops instead of fast attack for that detachment provided the bike squad is at least five models strong.

Last I checked only Khan did that, as Captains (and Chapter Masters) could only unlock one unit.

Exactly the last batch of rumours said they were.

Ultramarines:
All doctrines are 1 use per game trait:
Tactical doctrine - all models in detachment reroll 1s, tactical squads reroll all misses
Assault doctrine - all units in detachment reroll charge distance, assault/bike/attack squads get fleet (even though bikes cant run...)
Devastator doctrine - all models reroll snap shots including overwatch, devastator squads have overwatch, unless they disembarked that turn

wait for more

White scars:
Born in the saddle: auto pass dangerous terrain tests on a bike, +1 jink, +1S on hammer of wrath

Fight on the move: all models (except termies, centurions) have hit and run.

Imperial fists:
Bolter drill - rerolls all 1s with bolter weapons, does not apply to special ammo

Siege masters - dev squads and dev centurions have tank hunter and add +1 to building pen table.

Black Templars:
accept any challenge: characters in challenges re roll hits and have rending

crusaders: all models have crusader and adamantium will, and can use crusader squads

Iron hands
the flesh is weak: 6+ feel no pain

machine empathy: all vehicles have 'it will not die' and all techmarines and masters of the forge add +1 to blessings of the omnissiah

Salamanders:
Flamecraft: rerolls saves against flamer weapons, and reroll wounds and armour pen with flamers

master artisans: characters can master 1 weapon for free

Ravenguard:
Strike from the shadows -All models have scout, and non bulky and very bulky models have stealth on turn 1.

wing deliverance - Jump infantry can use their packs for both movement and assault and reroll wounds for hammer of wrath

Not relentless

and all combis are 10pts each

Excellent.

Ultramarines can use three traits in one game, Tactical, Assault and Devestator, they can only use one a turn and each trait an only be used once per game. Tactical allows all models to reroll (1's) and tacticals to get proper rerolls. Assault allows rerolling charge range and fleet. Devestator allows rerolling to hit on snap shots (including OW) and devestators get relentless.

Salamanders get rerolls on the usual weapons they are famed for and their characters can master craft weapons.

Raven Guard get stealth for the first turn and their units get scout and can use their assault packs to move in the assault phase, and can re roll failed to wounds on HoW.

Imperial fists get (1's) with bolt weapons, All devestators get tank hunter including cent ones.

White scars get hit and run, automatically pass DT tests, +1 to jink saves and +1 Strength to HoW attacks.

Iron hands get feel no pain 6+ and characters/vehicles get It will not die.

Templars get crusader and adamantium will, also reroll to hits in challenges and rending in challenges.

Not relentless

and all combis are 10pts each

Dang, they were relentless in the last book, looks like no Thunderfire Cannons in Drop Pods anymore

Also, can Space Marine TAC Squads of x5 take a Drop Pod as a dedicated transport?

A few questions about salamanders, Rysear said they get twinlink on their famed weapons soo...does that include melta weapons too?(or do you need vulkan for these)
As for characters mastercrafting weapons...is it all characters(not only IC)?
Can they mastercraft melee and/or ranged weapons?
thanks

This is awesome dude, can any new units take Drop Pods as dedicated transports?

And how many points is a Veteran for a Command Squad? And all the upgrades for any characters (such as an apothecary) for the squad.

Did Razorbacks get more expensive, like they did in DA?

Melta is Vulkans rule he gives salamanders

it just says 'each character'

Doesn't mention it so I assume yes

Are TFCs cheaper?
Is Pedro in the codex and does he make Sterns Troops or scoring?

razorbacks are 55pts base and all the options are 20pts (Heavy flamer is free)

What's the wounds and attacks statistics of centurions and what's their fluff justification?

Do Templars keep their own position on the allies matrix or do they use the vanilla Marine one now?

Same price

Pedro is there and stern guard are still scoring, not troops

Was typing up this exact question a few seconds ago, BT Allies here I come!

How do Vanguard's value compare to standard Assault Marines?
Is one grossly better than the other point wise?

Quick question:

How much is artificer armour for captains/chapter masters?
do bikes upgrades still cost the same for them?

Thanks!

Thanks.

How much points are the bikers? I heard they are 21 points or so.


How cheap is the Hunter/Stalker? around whirlwind price?

What's your favorite day of the week?

How are Captains shaping up? Do they have any use besides making bikes scoring and being a mediocre HQ?
