"Orkses never lost a battle. If we win we win, if we die we die fighting so it don't count. If we runs for it we don't die neither, cos we can come back for annuver go, see!"
I dig how in a setting where giant, muscled fungus men ride Mad Max cars and use their own teeth as currency, the concept of little engineering dudes with beards was considered a step too far down the aisle of silliness.

They are an Army of the Imperium (Battle brothers with the other imperial factions), no HQs, the book contains the already leaked units - not more - no surprises
Warlord traits:
Shrouded
Eternal warrior
Make a weapon master-crafted (except those from the Relics)
12″ reroll pinning, morale, fear
Overwatch using BS4
Reroll failed fnp + x
Doctrines
There is 6 of them. Use one of them at the beginning of the movement phase (each once per game).
Got the confirmation from 40kings.de. The Codex says the Doctrine effect is army-wide, each doctrine can be used once per game. All units with the Doctrina Imperatives SR are affected.
Also: No transport in this book
Relics:
Re-Roll mysterious objectives (not sure if that is meant)
Zealot USR Ini 1: Each enganged unit (melee) with bearer has to roll a toughness-test, failed = D6 wounds no armour
Phase Taser - after wounding an enemy -> initiative test, if failed the model is dead
A pistol - poison 3+, Illuminagen(?) and deals 3 (instead of one) S5 AP2 hits
Skull of Elder (no idea)
Eradication Beamer (Dunecrawler only, standard weapon): 0″- 9″: 10/1, 9″ – 18″: 8/3 blast, 18″ – 36″: 6/5 large blast
Neutron Laser: 48″ 10/1 blast, concussive
There are some interesting wargear options, for example the Icarus Array (point costs: 9 melta bombs) can replace the standard Eradication Beamer or the Neutron Laser. The Walker now has shields (6++), which are cummulative, each Walker in the squadron in 4" adds +1 (max. 4++).
That's it for the moment - they haven't started posting in the comments - but they now do an AMA

As a design, I actually dig that; actual men have been so strong disencouraged as of late; scout, good movement and decent survivabiliy at low costs would make them pretty good overall.
feth it, I might just run my death korps as counts-as, as lord knows footguard won't have the faintest chance of keeping up with this.
Therefore, I conclude, Valve should announce Half Life 2: Episode 3.

Der klassische Force-Org der Skitarii ist im Prinzip eine Formation, die allen Einheiten “scout” und “crusader” verleiht, satt! Außerdem bekommt der Warlord (und damit einer der Infantrie-Einheiten) “preferred enemy”. Liest sich so wie: “unsere normalen Einheiten sind nicht stark genug – lasst uns mal ein paar gute USR verteilen…”.
Wardlord Traits:
Die WLT sind mal wieder weniger spannend.
[*]shrouded
[*]eternal warrior
[*]eine Waffe master-crafted (aber kein Relikt)
[*]12″ reroll pinning, moral, fear
[*]overwatch mit BF4
[*]reroll failed fnp + x
Relikte:
[*]myteriöses Zeug rerollen
[*]zealot USR [*]Ini1: jede Einheit im Nahkampf mit Träger macht Widerstands-Test, verpatzt = W6 Wunden ohne Rüstung
[*]Phase Taser mit Initest bei Wunde oder tot
[*]Pistole mit Gimmicks
[*]Skull of Elder…Effekt xx
Waffen (Auswahl):
[*]Icarus Array (nur für Dunecrawler, aber SATT!): Deadalus missile launcher: heavy 1, 7/2 48″ skyfire + gatling rocket launcher: heavy 5, 6/4 48″ skyfire, ignores cover + twin icarus autocannon: heavy 2, 7/4 48″ skyfire, interceptor, twin-linked.
[*]Eradication Beamer (nur für Dunecrawler, Standarf-Bewaffnung): 0″- 9″: 10/1, 9″ – 18″: 8/3 blast, 18″ – 36″: 6/5 large blast
[*]Neutron Laser: 48″ 10/1 blast, concussive
Doktrinen:
Es gibt insgesamt 6 Doktrinen. Zu Beginn der Bewegungsphase kann jeweils eine genutzt werden (one use). Die Doktrinen geben
[*]+1 BF [*]+1 KG
[*]+2 BF / -1 KG
[*]+2 KG / -1 BF [*]+3 BF / -2 KG
[*]+3 KG / -2 BF
Schmankerl: Dunecrawler
Dazu gibt’s ein paar spannende Ausrüstungsoptionen, u.a. das Icarus Array für stolze 45 Punkte als Ersatz für den normalen Eradication Beamer oder den Neutron Laser. Die Läufer verfügen außerdem über Schilde (6++), die sich mit weiteren Läufer der Schwadron in 4 Zoll um jeweils einen Punkt verbessern (max. 4++).
Und nun geht’s in den Kommentaren weiter!
And run through Google Translate:
The classic Force Org of Skitarii is basically a formation that all units "scout" and "crusader" confers full! In addition, the Warlord gets (and thus one of the infantry units) "preferred enemy". Reads as: "our normal units are not strong enough - let us to some good USR distribute ...".
Ward Lord Traits:
The WLT are again less exciting.
shrouded
eternal warrior
a weapon master-crafted (but not a relic)
12 "reroll pinning, morals, fear
watch over with BF4
reroll failed fnp + x
Relics:
rerollen myteriöses stuff
zealot USR InI1: every unit in close combat with carrier makes resistance test, marred = D6 wounds without armor
Phase with Taser Initest in wound or dead
Gun with gimmicks
Skull of Elder effect ... xx
Weapons (selection):
Icarus array (only for Dunecrawler, but NEED!): Daedalus missile launcher: heavy 1 7/2 48 "skyfire + gatling rocket launcher: heavy 5, 48 6/4" skyfire, ignores cover + icarus twin autocannon: heavy 2, 48 7/4 "skyfire, interceptor, twin-linked.
Eradication projector (for Dunecrawler, Stan May-Armament): 0 "- 9": 10/1, 9 "- 18": 8/3 blast, 18 "- 36": 6/5 large blast
Neutron Laser: 48 "10/1 blast, concussive
Doctrines:
There are a total of 6 doctrines. At the start of the movement phase can one be used (one use). Add the doctrines
+1 BF +1 KG
+2 BF / -1 KG
+2 KG / -1 BF +3 BF / -2 KG
+3 KG / -2 BF
Treat: Dunecrawler
Plus there's a couple of interesting equipment options, including The Icarus array for proud 45 points as a substitute for the normal Eradication projector or the neutron laser. The runners also have shields (6 ++) that deal with other runners in the squadron 4 inches to climb up a point (max. 4 ++).
And now it's in the comments section!

Exactly
Regarding the translation, I play 40k with the english rules, I double-checked what they posted, and they quote from the english book, so that should be the correct rules

Do they effect the whole army, or just units withing x" of a certain unit, or what? Because people complain about ine unit having everything that shoots it BS5 via markerlights, I can't wait to see how much hate this gets.

If you take a triple plasma culiver squad, and use a doctrine to bump your BS to 6 or higher, you're now re-rolling those ones from gets hot, and might even turn them into more hits.
