Thanks for taking the time to answer questions. I've got a few. How many points is the tac squad heavy flamer?

Heavy Flamer is 2MB

Does the 1 elite 2 troop detachment for +1 initative have objective secured for its troops.

Negative

Is Seth fearless?

Indeed he is

And are vanguard vets pointed the same as SM.

Not sure ... VVS is 19 MB base cost then to put JP on them it is 3 Search Lights

Thanks again.

Interesting side note ... Drop pods are also a fast choice ... Like the SW dex

Indeed, that is the case

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

No unit has the SR as a dedicated transport

Oh wow that is bs. Let me get this straight: frikkin Space Wolves, who HATE flying, have DT Flyers for almost all their units, but goddamn Blood Angels, who feel like flying is pretty much communion with Sanguinius, don't. Wooooooooooooooooooooow. GG, GW.

Any translators here?

What's all pretty self explanatory....anything specific you need?

Kind of wanted to know what The Sanguinor does now. I know the details that have been said about him but does he gain IC? Also does he keep his aura for +1A?

EDIT: From what I can see he doesn't get it which I think sucks pretty bad.

No IC from what I can tell, but still has the +1A aura.

Artificier Armor
Encarmine blade
Frag and krak grenades,
Death mask
Iron Halo (no more 3++)
Jump pack

Heroic mark? (Sergeant buff skill I assume?)
Eternal warrior
Furious charge
Fearless

Reroll hits and wounds in duels?
+1 Attack aura.

Astorahth
Artificer Armor
bolt pistol
frag, krak
rosario

axe, +1S, ap2, two handed, strike last, rending/ Instand dead...

And if you want you can take that "Honour Guard" 4 times over in one list. You do not need a Headquarter unit to open them up to take.

Thanks for answering questions.

Does Dante have furious charge like everyone else?

What about Mephiston?

What is Lemartes like now?

BA have Sanguinary guard instead of vanilla's honor guard. You can take 4 Sang guard squads
Command squad is similar to vanilla command squads, I hear they take a slot now though...elite?

There is a detachment in the new codex that allows 4 Elite

He probably meant the new command squad as being the old honour guard. If the BA command squad is the same to SM command squad, then it sucks due to SM command squads not having access to special weapons and no jump packs.

Special weapons were added to command squads in the FAQ.

Quoted for Truth...

Once again, GW trumps Space Wolves flavor in order to make them uber-powerful...

The Stormraven started as a BA unique vehicle, it should've been a dedicated transport for BA units... This bites worse than RAS being moved out of troops..

How many melta bombs is Tycho? And does he have a set Warlord Trait?

diepotato47 wrote:

He has 2 different versions from what was posted earlier on.

Death Company Version - About 29MB, his warlord trait is the one that gives rampage (D3 extra attacks if the enemy outnumbers you).

Normal Version - About - About 26MB and his trait is the same as above.

Awesome, thank you

Can sanguinary priests take a storm shield for 2MB?

What is with these points values in Melta Bombs!? Skaven-slave units is the only acceptable currency!

Can vanilla Captains and Commanders now take Artificer Armour? Seemed odd the couldn't.

Except what you're quoting isn't true. Space Wolves distrusts teleporting, they don't hate flying what so ever.

You can't deny it makes less sense for wolves to have flying DT than BA though.

Dedicated transport status is based on willingness to use the transport and its availability. Wolves would DEFINITELY be more willing to use a rare and possibly irreplacable vehicle for unit-ferrying. Besides, that matches the Space Marine codex's storm raven. They use it primarily as a gunship and secondly a transport.

Actually I think Wolves prefer to fight with "both feet planted on the ground, as Russ intended". That's why Skyclaws were looked sideways by their peers.

The bit about teleporting actually started in 3rd if I'm not mistaken (their Terminators could not deepstrike), now it's more permissive but that fluff tidbit has been kept. I think it's actually in line with their character.

Also to answer someone, servoarmadura can be Servo Armour, but I'm maybe more inclined to say it's Bionics.

Skaven slaves work better in fantasy where things occasionally have odd point costs. Particularly characters when all their wargear is added in.

Melta bombs are something every 40k player knows the point value of, and give us a good clean idea of point values.

Personally i prefer thunderfire cannons. Like the old mephiston was 2.5 thunderfire cannons.

Ahem... Blood Angels would Deep Strike their Land Raiders straight into battle using T-hawk transporters - an incredibly dangerous (if not suicidal) manoeuvre. So I don't think your argument is valid.

What is the "servomadura" on the second entry? The rest looks like it should be for a chaplain but at least in english that sounds like something a techmarine would get.

Servoarmadura is power armor

Speaking of which, can Blood Angels still deep strike their Landraiders ?

Nope. Sucks too because that was a fluffy and awesome thing that they used to do.
