Book arrived early, so ask away

Do they have any alternate color schemes (IE disciples of Caliban in 40k)?

Did DA get any new units or was it just the Legion Rules/RoW/Wargear?

Lots of alternate colours schemes for various legions, but nothing like deciples.

Only legions traits for the new 3 and rites of war

Some pics

Nice! Now if only I could do a decent checkered pattern lol.

how are the Shattered legions/Black shields rules overall? anything not mentioned previously?

Not sure what has been mentioned already, but shattered legions have plenty of stuff, really opens up making a mixed Legion force, they never count as denial units though, which is pretty major.

The blackshields trait

Anything new for a Word Bearer's player? Did they get a new RoW?

The Recon company RoW- does it say "one additional compulsory troop choice which must be a recon squad" or does it say "one additional compulsory troop and all must be recon squads."?

Hope these help. Also to another question. It seems dark angels models in one of the pics have an eagle on there shoulders, very odd

Eeew that is bad wording but I take it to mean that one extra slot must be a recon squad and the rest can be filled with other comp troops. Thanks.

It's pretty clear to me: the RoW needs 3 compulsory troops, 1 of which MUST be a recon squad. Recon squads are also compulsory troops, so they can also fill the other 2 slots as well.

Yeah it's pretty clear, I'm considering taking 2 detachments, ravenwing and recon rites of war, should be fun

Could we perhaps see some of the Knight-Errant things please?

Here you go guys

Something people will need to get used to, Angron fnp 3+ and iwnd 4+, good luck with that.

Nice one dude!
Dang - it's unchanged from the mechanicum red book - no new toys.

How well would the shattered legion rules work with deathwatch games? The first thing I thought when I saw them was, I would love to play shattered legions in small games using more elite units? Also, what are the shattered legions FoCs like?

"Something people will need to get used to, Angron fnp 3+ and iwnd 4+, good luck with that..."

Does he has to be in the enemy deployment zone for these buffs ?

Some of them yes, there is a new special character apothecary for world eaters that give fnp 4+, the rite gives +1 to fnp and it will not die, it's quite easy to achieve, take a drop pod of your wanted flavour, and bam, deal with Angron and bodyguard, sadly no red butchers though, as no slow and purposeful units allowed, I'm just gonna use standard tartaros termies for the time being.

That is the awesome !!!

At over $100 with current exchange rate, Id like to know what Im getting for total pages for each group. Not gonna buy if its 2 pages of DA stuff. Please post a picture of table of contents.

Thanks

Cataphracti Armor no longer has Slow and Purposeful, just its effects written out the long way, according to the latest FAQ.

Again, thanks for the pics. Glad to know my Knight Errant will run so high in points cost.

Interesting... So which units do you think they are trying to stop people using in that RoW?

Honestly no idea, if it wasnt for the change I would have figured restricting the Cataphractii, but maybe they realized that some of their forces Special Units are only Cataphractii.

The rites of war for playing loyalists in traitor legions and traitors in loyalists legions can we see those? I am running loyalist Luna Wolves and it is going to be awhile before I can get the book.

Also, Justarian Terminators are two wounds now, point costs? Or just a snap shot?
