Did you know Ezekiel's force sword seems to no longer be two handed?

The Power Armor Command Squad (currently) bestows Honour or Death to everybody in the squad? (Yeah this is probably a typo/bug that will be FAQ'ed, as the Deathwing and Ravenwing limit it to the Champion)

Deathwing Assault appears to no longer be Army wide, and Formation Specific? Without that formation, Deathwing Deep Strike as normal?

Are there others?

There are so many.

Ezekiels book gives +1a instead of +1ws

He also has a different warlord trait

"The hunt" warlord trait is completely different

Azraels fnp is now 5+

The list goes on.....

The change to Deathwing is by far the most horrendous.

So if you don't take the formation, they just drop in on via normal deep strike.

And even if you do take the formation, they still can't drop in on turn 1, and they lost objective secured.

So they got cheaper but got worse. With TH/SS being more expensive, they're just a dubious choice on a good day, and they got worse for combined armies (no DS on turn of choice without formation).

The book is in the spirit of what I was looking at, but the Warlord Trait isn't as stealthy- i.e. "completely different". He always has a book, what the book does changed and you have to click a link etc to see it.

It having the same name as before is what threw me

That's cause termies are too good. Now, purchase our fine Wraithknights ©GW

So take more terminators? At 1800 points onwards I can get four terminator squads on the table anyway, and I can manage a terminator captain to suggest that one can't afford these changes in their armies is ludicrous.

Dark Talon lost Hoverstrike and gained straight up Strafing Run.
Azrael has a full 5+ FNP now.
Librarian Mastery 2 Level dropped by 10 points.
Ezekiel not locked into Mindworm anymore.

Standards lost +1 to combat resolution, as did the Darkshroud.

No Veteran Sgt. Naaman (although he's been discontinued for a while).

Monster Hunter of Caliban still sucks.

Buying terminator armour for a librarian doesn't automatically give a storm bolter, it costs an additional melta bomb. Not sure if a lot of people noticed that.
