I'd rather they just bring back Crypteks back to 5th edition and give them their fancy necron magic technology that they had before but with more options.
But I guess they will be ICs and an IC could be sniped off as said elsewhere.

Small blast templates. The new flamers went about as I expected so I'm really curious to see what they do here.
SBT were generally garbage, but there's definitely potential depending on how GW handles it. Plasma cannons, frag missiles/kannon batteries, and especially grotzookas and thunderfire cannons.
Regardless, with the new wound chart there will be a lot more room for weapon diversity.

Based on what we've seen in the last couple of days, I'm excited for Orkanauts and Tac squads.

I am excited to have a reason to run my Lascannon Devastators again. Also, I might just look into adding a Heavy Weapons to my Tactical Squads, should I increase their Squad sizes and give them a Rhino instead of a Razorback. The choices just went up.
My Skitarii are going to get an overhaul in terms of how I run them. The fact the Special Weapons no longer will limit what Squads can do, I might bring more Arquebuses than I originally planned. Also, if Dunecrawlers can still be taken in Squads, I might run one AA and two Neutron Lasers. Should be fun.

Explain your first comment. Glued together in what way?
I just hope I don't HAVE to bring CultMech in order to run my Skitarii. Techpriest don't belong on the ground!

Kan walls, multiple dreads, morkanauts, basically just a horde of ork walkers. I love how they look and now they actually have a shot at surviving. Here come da boyz!

They still do. Technically even a Magos or Archmagos. Doesn´t mean that there could not be any Skitarii- HQ. In Skitarius and Techpriest are some Alpha Primes on the ground.

If they make the Techpriest have a separate datasheet called a Skitarii Alpha Prime rather than making it a Techpriest Dominus, I will be happy. I wouldn't mind being able to use an Enginseer as a Techpriest Alpha Prime either. The Enginseer definitely has the right aesthetic to go along with Skitarii.

I'm very excited to scrap all my spam lists. The 2 greatest changes are the universal adoption of wounds and split fire. Vehicles like dreads/sentinels will fair far better than before.
The split fire means that lists can become much more fluffy while remaining competitive. It also opens up many possibilities that never would have been explored before like railrifles.

With today's info, I'm happy to have Tactical Marines be good again. I've always like fluffy marine squads, terminators and dreadnoughts. Here's hoping my including them will be useful now.

Defilers and maulerfiends that can last more then 1 turn on the table.
Zerkers better at combat.
Maybe using termies more often?, apart for termicide when i need the extra points to fill a list, i don't play termies like they should since 4th Ed...
