For things like Magnus, where he can cast multiple times, could we in theory cast smite 3x a turn with him?

Unless Monster overrides.

Except in the core rules there is no mention of such a thing.

The leaked psyker rules stipulate they can only attempt to cast one instance of a spell per round, so no casting the same spell twice.

I'm pretty excited to see Nids again. Like, real nid armies, not just bio-drop pods+flyrants. I think the last time I saw someone seriously attempt a nid army with hormagaunts in was in 4th edition about a decade ago.

And they strike first on the charge (which they pretty much never used to do), are permanently Strength 4 instead of just on the charge, can wound anything on the game on a 6+, wound T6-T7 on 5s instead of 6s like before, don't lose Attacks until they drop below 20 models, have the highest Leadership in the game in big numbers....but yet some other people are still convinced they suck

... There's all kinds of things that aren't in the core rules. Like the -1 to hit when shooting at models with Fly, etc.

Can hammer on Instagram is posting all the DarkEldar rules for those interested.

I'm a little depressed that Magnus can now suffer from Perils. Hopefully these are stop-gap rules, and the actual codex will flesh out the models quite a bit more.

Considering, with the rule of one, if you have an army with Magnus and Arhiman you will only be able to cast EACH of the THREE spells you know, total, once... It seems not the best, right now.

Assuming that the Rule of One ports over to 40K, of course. But yeah, the Sons are in serious need of many, many more psychic powers to choose from, as well as systemic boosts to their casting rolls.

Aren't all these leaks from the Index books... so what we see if what we get? And what we get is a shelved Thousand Sons army yet again?

I've been assuming that the Index books will be supplemented down the line with actual army-specific codexes. I (desperately) hope that's the case, at any rate.

Boyz!

Ok tank hammers are badarse and make tankbustas a great suicide unit. As are bomb squigs
No to wound roll or save just straight up d3 mortal wounds is death.

Can someone please post the Nurgle Daemon rules if they have them?

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm convinced that the actual god-specific disciplines will say "Psykers in your army with the right keyword can also take these powers in addition/instead of any powers they could normally take" as it seems a bit strange that all of Magnus/Ahriman/Exalted Sorcerers can't take Tzeentch powers. Let's not forget Aspiring Sorcers from Rubric Marine units only get Smite, which would mean in a Thousand Sons army only Scarab Occult Sorcerers and regular Sorcerers would get Tzeentch powers...which I find very hard to believe.

/tg/ is the 4chan board that focuses on traditional games (Pen and Paper DnD, tabletop wargames, ect)

In those Daemon pics the tail end of the Masque is shown and she's looking pretty nice.

Locus of Beguilement: Opponent must subtract 1 from any hit rolls that target a Daemonette unit within 6" in the Fight phase.

Eternal Dance: At the beginning of each Fight phase, choose an enemy unit within 1" of this model. For the rest of the phase, add 1 to any hit rolls that target the chosen unit.

And it's a Character, so now it gets to benefit from the targeting rules.

Man, if the points for Tankbustas are good, they're going to remain a premier anti-tank unit. 5+ to-hit in range doesn't matter when the dudes that do hit do 3 Damage each...and up close? There's nothing stopping you blowing up non-vehicle units with those TankHammers

This, also some leakers are not posting pictures because their books are marked.

Cant wait for DE leaks

Which is not a core rule. It's a bespoke rule. If a flier incurs a -1 to hit from ground shooters it says on the datasheet. I don't think the C'tan have a bespoke rule saying they are an exception to the character rules.

Or maybe people realize you are not going to prevent 10+ boys from dying in a 30 boy squad in the average of 3 turns it takes them to get into reliable charge range because they move dirt freakin slow.

Couldn't, I'm on mobile. Mah bad.

Loving the addition of the "Pair of Rokkit Pistols" since about a year ago I modeled a couple of scratch built Tank Busters with that exact thing for fun.

Is it just me or are that unit of boys sorta expensive?

Which is why you have multiple units and other things in your army to draw firepower...you know, like a normal assault army that tries to constrict opponents through threat overload?

Besides, that's one aspect of their new rules you're addressing. You're also not accounting for enemies moving forward, things like pile-ins/consolidations tying up multiple enemy units while denying Overwatch, etc.

Just let it go. I'm sick of retreading the same old topic with you. The Mob Rule and casualties-from-the-front removal (which you STILL haven't acknowledged) alone are enough to make Boyz far more viable than they used to be.

all regular boys went up to 6ppm. No idea on tankbustas but they are much better now.

Got some tyranid stuff off 4chan.

Blue boards are work safe, just expect insults, slurs and such to be hurled around a lot. Significantly less passive agressive tone than most forums once you get used to skipping over the unpleasant people though. Pros and cons.
