So apparently drop pods are a fast attack choice... Which mean battle brother squads in drop pods...

Can you clarify? Do you mean empty pods alone are available in the FA slot?

yes.

How many?

As many as you have fast attack slots...

Yea thats stupid. The game is already too bonkers to take seriously competitive IMHO as it was but that somehow will make things much worse....

Edit
BTW Thanks for the info pretre

Interesting. Wolves are going to have many FA choices competing for time...

I see many lists now whoring out wolves as allies to grab that pod. Marines will throw 3 grav cents and libby in for sure I'm guessing. Heck every drop pod army will ally with wolves now.

Do pods in other codexes restrict contents?

Transport capacity: Ten models, one Dreadnought or one Thunderfire Cannon and Techmarine Gunner...

Doesn't appear to restrict infantry other then ten dudes.

So dreadnaughts technically are fast attack? K

Erm....... No. Dreadnoughts are elites. Pods for them are dedicated transports. Pods taken on their own with no contents are fast attack.

So I can take a pod...and then what? Give it to something that does not have a dedicated transport?

Cool, so bulky and very bulky work.

Anyone know how much this Logan model will cost in GBP?

Rumours and my guess say £45. Its a fairly large model, but not vehicle so roughly £33 akin to the Dreadknight. But character tax so 45.

Americans are expecting $80 because "ubercool character tax."

Pod with tig and grav cents in it!

A few pages back it was mentioned as £36, which isn't too bad at all.

Dedicated transports being FA seems to be new thing. Ork Trukks are listed as FA too.

I thought very bulky was 4 slots?

3. Bulky is 2, Very Bulky is 3 and Extremely Bulky is 5.

It's kind of sad when the best thing about your codex is being able to take good units from another dex in your drop pods.

It would indeed be sad if that were the case, but it's not at all.

So far, I think the best things to have come from this codex are:

Cheaper Blood Claws making them a viable alternative to GH
3 Specials (with combi) GH in Pods
Points drops on a lot of units that needed them (Dreads, characters, Termies, Claws of all types, TWC)
An array of cool new units

Really, I think this is the most solid release for a long time.

If he still has servo arm, that means 2+1 attack base since they are both specialist weapon

Funny as this came up in a game last night. Opponent tried to tell me the servo arm was a either/or attack. I told him it was a additional attack at initive 1.

Did they change it or am i wrong?

Newer marine codices now list servo arms as a X2 strength ap 2 unwieldy specialist weapon. Older codices still have the 1 attack at init 1 rule.

It is actually ap1 on marine codex so even better!

So the iron priest is actually an absolute boss. On top of all the other stuff covered; in the first round on cc he gets 5 S10 TH or servo attacks! (2 base, 1 for TW, 1 for two specialist weaps, 1 for charge/counter attack). This guy is a beast! Auto-include of the century much! 105 POINTS! What the hell were they thinking?!

(Apologies for all the "!!!" I'm really friggin excited )

Just 4 actually 2 base + 1 for 2 weapons + 1 charge/ca . Still good just not that good.

The Thunderwolf Mount adds another attack. Base 2, Thunderwolf +1, two weapons +1, charge/CA +1. Total 5

So how many pts is the thunderwolf mount? 55 for the priest and?

50 points for a Thunderwolf, I believe, and he can join any unit (not just TWC). For an Elites slot, he's not bloody bad!

Attach him to some TWC for 2+ tanking, and 5 extra (Rending!) TH attacks.
