Nah, this was posted in the AdMech facebook group and I live in the middle of nowhere.
Now any guys, that've been witholding the Chaos Daemon scans, can come forward :p
In the meanwhile, I'm gonna go write up this book in a .doc file for better use

Who cares! It is bloody awesome! Strides seem incredible now...

After seeing the knight and admech anti air weapons it looks like IG Hydras are going to be BS4+ T7 w12 +3 with Quad autocannon Heavy 8 S7 Ap-1 Dmg2 hitting flyers on 3+ and other stuff on 5+. If we got BS boosting orders or characters I might have to knock the dust off mine

Interesting changes all around. Also the Voltaghiest field looks nasty. Charge a horde and watch a sixth of them sizzle away.

I like. I many like.

Where are you getting this information! In the Emperor's name tell me before I go fetch the Lord Commissar, or the inquisitor for that matter!

Where did the Scan come from?

Thanks for clarifying, Ghaz! Makes what I thought Magnus could do much worse.

Spoiler:

Awesome! Thanks for posting. And thanks for putting it in Spoilers!

Again, it bothers me that Transonic Blades suck so bad. But from the looks of it, I can give the Princeps two Transonic Blades and a Chord Claw while giving the rest of them Razors and a Chord Claw. This was never an option before and it is actually quite awesome.

Hold on. You may be applying 7th edition rules that no longer apply in 8th.


Drop Pod Assault
... Any models embarked inside must immediately disembark, but they must be setup more than 9" from enemy models. Any models that cannot be set up because there is not enough room are slain.

Disembark
... Units that disembark can then act normally (move, shoot, charge, fight, etc.) during the remainder of their turn.


I see no mention that the squad has any restrictions on what it can do after they Disembark from a Drop Pod. That would definitely justify the points cost if your Marines could move and assault after they get out of the Drop Pod.

Seen it, and it's just like 5 out of 40 units...

You place the Drop Pod and its contents at the end of the movement phase. Since the Movement phase has ended, the contents can't move.

I saw that the bottom of the Razorback confirms that Primaris can't ride current Marine Transports. I bet they can't even ride in a Land Raider either. So incredibly lame.

Looks I might be getting more electro priests, Corpus dropped 4pts, Fulg dropped 2pts and became much more likely to get that 3+ invuln thanks to the voltagheist field change. They're still not stellar but definitely better and if we get a delivery method for them later down the road then they could be really nasty.

I haven't played Necrons since 5th and I never did like the whole glancing vehicles to death, but at least it was something. You think they would have given it higher damage against vehicles. Like 2 or D3. Oh well.

You must be joking, it's better against anything with a 4+ or better than it was in 7th.
The special rule of auto glancing on a 6 was powerful, and now that vehicles have wounds and an armor save, 4+ is better than a 3+

While I can respect your feelings for a favorite unit/tactic getting hit - ALL transports went up in points. Some A LOT.

So, this is a pretty universal thing. Also, as a guy who loves drop pods (I even painted the insides of mine, and magnetized the doors) - yeah, they were WAY under-costed before.
So, this kind of should be no surprise.

Overall, as a trend (except bugs....) basic troops stayed about the same cost (or cheaper) and anything bigger went up in points...some times a lot.

(of course, they have a lot more wounds now, but you get the idea).

How many editions have you been playing?

I loved 2nd, hated 3rd, liked 4th and 5th, and 6th and 7th drove me out of 40K.

So, I'm...cautiously optimistic for 8th, as it looks like an...OK combo of 2nd and 3rd?

I'd be willing to say that this feels a lot like what 3rd Edition would have been if it were the evolutionary facelift to 2nd rather than something that supplanted it (like it ended up doing). A 2.75e if you will.

So yeah, I think the description makes sense. It is a revolutionary change, like 3rd, but mostly in so far as it shares more DNA with 2nd than it does with 3rd to 7th.

Definitely an evolution of 2nd. When third came out the Inquisitor magazine crew had been working on a 40K 2.5 rule set. We had already been using Strength and Toughnesses higher than 10 and Toughness instead of AV for vehicle armor in the Inquisitor Titan and vehicle rules so were carrying it into the new rules. Will be very interesting to compare vehicle and Titan numbers when we get a full set of vehicle rules.

As with others, played Rogue Trader and second edition, but dropped 40K completely shortly after third edition came out. Fifth was better than third, but still not all that great. My only games in fifth were played in a small three game tournament tournament against guys playing in tournaments regularly and I won the tournament. Sixth and then seventh: bleagh... not even. Am very hopeful for 8th though. Would like to start playing 40K again...
