VDR is coming back?

Kinda. It will only allow you to design your own Land Raider and its only for Open Play.

It is a trial. If it works and is popular, they will expand it.

Well the VDR made you pay for individual weapons, which everyone has to do in 8th, so I don't see why it would be too unbalanced to use the VDR in matched play - tax or no tax.

Smart move to introduce it only with Land Raiders (hopefully not just Imperial ones) but I certainly hope it expands later

Ork looted vehicles?

I can only hope that this will lower the points cost of the Land Raider Terminus Ultra. That thing is about 100 points over what it should be. I know it's not iconic or anything, but I've been sitting on all the bits needed to do a sweet conversion, but the rules suck so bad that I can't bring myself to make it.


FYI, it will be a WWI British Mk IV tank, with the exhaust/ rear hull of a Land Raider, sponsons from a Baneblade, Marine tank hatches, and a TON of iconography strategically placed.

400 points for the firepower of two Predators on the Land Raider platform is a fair price.

Um.... With weapons it is more like 600. A Predator is 102 without weapons, 202 with. So, no, a Terminus Ultra isn't as good as three Predators.

The price of the Terminus Ultra includes the weapons, see the index errata.

""* Updated matched play points for dozens of units and weapons across every army ""

So here is how they'll do: with each new supplement they will nerf buff depending on the meta i guess ? Maybe we can expect slight point change for some already released codex or for long time no codex index factions.
