Assuming he splits them into 2 squads as they are max size 15

Well, it kinda annoying for people who play a successor chapter (other than Flesh Tearers.) Though it is the same problem with Dark Angels.

Wow...I'm dumb. You are correct sir, my brain failed me there. That'll be interesting to see if there is one.

I was about a 9 on the pissy scale, after looking into the codex I am about a 2 ... I can still take things the way I want as far as JP army goes ... still bothers me that the RAS is gone from troops ... oh well.

Scouts ... not that I could find.

Well thats a bummer for a decent troop tax.

I guess regular scouts will be fine. (unless they are doing that thing where they chuck it into FA slot.

What terminators can take the banner upgrade? Is it JUST assault Termies?

Yes on the Assault ... you smoke either a LC or a Storm Shield ... have to trade one in.

Re-roll failed morale and pinning test ... not worth it.

In what form can we have honour guards?

 Bla_Ze wrote:

No Honour Guard, as that is what the Sanguinary Guard are. We can take a Company Command Squad though.

First, Can Blood Angels Captains purchase Artificer Armor from the armory? Always bugged me with the last codex that Captains couldn't purchase Artificer Armor.

Second, What's the price difference between a regular Jump Pack, and the Chapter Relic Jump Pack for a Captain? (is it 5 points more? 10 points?)

What's the name of the Relic Power Sword that has AP:2?

Lastly, Would you mind helping me out with the total points on a Captain build I plan on running?

Captain armed with the following:

Artificer Armor, Iron Halo, Jump Pack, Bolt Pistol, Frag & Krak Grenades, Relic Death Mask, Relic Item that allows for second Strategic Warlord Trait, and the Relic AP:2 Power Sword.
I'm hoping he'll run around 170ish points for this gear, please let me know though, if you don't mind?

Thanks for the help OIIIIIIIO!

Take it easy.

The more I look into this book the happier I am ... It actually looks like a lot of fun to play. I was all kinds of, not even Furious Charge, but Black Rage at the way I perceived the way they changed my codex. I am actually looking forward to playing a game with this book ... like not even joking. It really does look like fun so far as I have read.

Is it true that normal Preds and Vindies can't buy Fast?

How many meltabombs more is the BA Rhino and Razor compared to their SM equivalents?

Is the Stormraven Fast Attack or Heavy Support?

Also, how many meltabombs is the Baal Pred? Does it still have Scouts?

False ... all Rhino chassis can buy it for 2 MB

Not sure ... do not have SM Codex

Heavy

Also, how many meltabombs is the Baal Pred? Does it still have Scouts?

Sticker price is 23 MB but you can really knock off 2 MB because it comes from the factory with a Super Charger installed.

Do assault troops still get a discount is they ditch their Jump packs for a Dedicated transport?

Is Sanguinor only 4++ now?

What is the profile of the Glaive Encarmine?

Assault mans get a free rhino or drop pod if they ditch their packs.

Yes, Sanguinor is only a 4++ now.

S: User, AP3, Master Crafted.

Kinda ... they can take either a DP or a Rhino for free

He is

What is the profile of the Glaive Encarmine?

Power Swords or axes that are 2 handed and MC

How many special weapons can assault marines and tacticals take per five man squad?

Am i the only one thinking that it´s a bit dull that they only get a new kit for termies, tacticals, this blood priest or whatever it´s called and the starterset?
Nothing really new and interesting there, just the same old in a new wrapping.

 jspyd3rx wrote:

RAS can take 2, Tac squad can take either Heavy or Special, not both until you get the 10th guy

The longstanding rumor was GK treatment for codex... so new chapter specific Tacticals with new weapon options, new sanguinary priest sculpt, new chapter specific terminators, point reductions, and everything in the Deathstorm box set being better than the regular version in some way, is actually kind of nice

Sanguinary Priests are HQ. Any way to keep them from taking up a slot?

Can Sanguinary Priests take relic Jump Pack? What about Terminator Armour?

How many MB are infernos pistols?

Can Sergeants take two pistols?

 timwrightii wrote:

Not that I could see

Relic JP Yes, Termie Armour ... no

How many MB are infernos pistols?

3

Can Sergeants take two pistols?

They come with a bolt pistol and you can trade your bolter in on say a hand flamer that costs 2mb, then you can trade in your bolt pistol in as well

On a side note, a 5 man RAS can take 2 meltas ... bonus for us!!

Thanks! I'm Over the loss of assault troops and getting genuinely excited!

Refering back to my earlier questions, a SM Rhino is 7 meltabombs and a Razor w/ say Assault Cannon is 15 meltabombs. Do BA pay 2 meltabombs over that in each case?

Also, very important question: can Stormravens be made a Dedicated Transport?

Thanks for taking the time to answer questions. I've got a few. How many points is the tac squad heavy flamer? Does the 1 elite 2 troop detachment for +1 initative have objective secured for its troops. Is Seth fearless? And are vanguard vets pointed the same as SM. Thanks again.

Indeed, that is the case

No unit has the SR as a dedicated transport
