My 20 Assault Marines I am building around are very grateful. Did the 1 Melta Bomb per squad in assault FaQ go through for 30k?

If it updates the core rulebook, it applies to 30k, which uses the core rulebook for its rules.

Just take a Power Fist or Thunder Hammer and call it a day!

Is any knight able to be taken as a lord of war for a legion list or is there a specific list to choose from?

"War Machine Detachment: 1-2 Super-heavy vehicles of the same unit type, each with a Hull Points value of 8 or less, and each chosen either from the specific army list for the Primary Detachment, the Questoris Knights army list found in the Crusade Imperialis army list..."

So basically any Knight, generally speaking. Which is pretty awesome!

Is that the wording from the current book, or the new one dropping next week? We've seen the page that lists the specific LoW choices allowed from other Imperial Armour books.

The new book dropped and that is from it.

It's not even gone through for 40k...

I can see an FAQ dismissing this ruling from FW anyway, like the sniper rule for vets

There isnt yet an official FAQ for 40k 7th its a draft subject to changes, however if it becomes the official released FAQ or 8th drops with it then you can worry and hope for a FW FAQ, until then a powerfist is always useful for stuff but meltabombs are killer.

For the pride of the legion rite of war, apparently you need to have more or equal amount of units with the legiones astartes than those without. Is somone able to confirm this and do dedicated transport count towards that number?

Draft doesn't mean subject to changes in rulings, just format and clarity of ruling. These will be official, so best embrace them now and be ready.

This.

I find that people who like the changes will push for them to be applied to their games now. Those that may not benefit would want just the opposite.
Best to discuss this with your opponent before the game.

That is exactly what draft means, at this time they are clearing up rule misconceptions etc however the documents they have released are not official yet and are subject to change by their own word, if you wish to use them then you must get permission from your opponent and remember that when released officially it may not say the same thing as it does now.

Except that the rulings will be the same. They made that clear. It is only about clarity and wording, not the ruling. So we all might as well embrace it, because that is what we are getting. Not sure why people keep resisting.

Because some of the rulings are terrible.

And, at least one has also been changed already due to feedback.

What was changed?

They made the Dreadnought attack bonus an official errata rather than a suggested 'if both players agree' designer's note thing.

The fact that the overwhelmingly positive response to the dreadnought ruling made them declare it an official update now shows that they are taking into account what people say. One of the next ones im expecting is the increasing scouts to ws4 bs4 to become official.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Rulings like that are the more likely to be confirmed faster as they are more about bringing older armies more in line with the current state of game.

another small change i noticed was that the extra armour on storm eagles are now 5p Points instead of 10

totally worth it now!!

Any word on destroyers? Anyone?

No change. Sadly. But with so much dropping in price, them being a bit expensive isn't as much a burden. I mean, just seeing that new Moritat model from FW Open makes me want them more than ever.

actually, one change for destroyers is that Rad Missles are fleshbane now, where iirc hey where poison 3+ before

Nah they were Fleshbane in the previous Red Book.

Ah, just me missremembering then. Could servitors always take them?

Nope, that's new (as is Servitors being able to take Missile Launchers at all).

God I can't wait for my book to arrive... looking forward to being able to see all these changes in person to be able to update my list.

Well yeah, but with the assault marine price drop, now you're REALLY paying a premium for your destroyers. I don't know, unless the meta shifts more in the direction of blob troops, and thus resulting in me needing a way to really cut down MEQs, I'll be surprised if I bother with destroyers. And I like my moritat!

You would never take them without MLs right now, for sure, but fleshbane AP3 is pretty good man, especially against mechanicum robits who force rerolls on poison (do they also do so to fleshbane? I don't think so, but the robit rules still confuse me tbh)

Oooh yeah, good question. Those missiles could do some real damage against the mechanicum.

and now you can also take Servitors with them (assuming your techmarine takes rad grenades.) So the ability to have a Rad Gunline is truly real.

And then give the techmarine a Cortex Controller so you can have your own Ad Mech stompies.

Poor Destroyers... getting outclassed by a bunch of mindless, lobotomised slaves.

do they also do so to fleshbane? I don't think so, but the robit rules still confuse me tbh

They do. But a 2+ with a compulsory reroll is stlll bloody good when firing on a T7 target....
