Nope, Blood Angels had a "New units" focus at the end of the week (on friday). We can expect the same for Thousand Sons since it's been announced.

No Kanluwen you are completely wrong, GW just hates Thousand Sons, thats why they make them lost the demostration battle vs Adeptus Custodes, the new hotness.

It would be nice for an article a day though as a lot of our choices come from other dexes we will likely get 2 more to round other strats, hqs maybe and d other goodies.
Though it may not get the standard marine push or DG this editions focused antagonist what i have seen so far does not look second rate and i am excited. Was hoping for an article today, fingers crossed (all 13).

I wonder, will Rubrics and Scarabs get the full version of 'Smite' power or will it remain the same (just 1 MW for normal cast and D3 MW for 11+ cast)? And also - is there any chance Scarabs get 2 casts as they could have in 7th ed?

Thanks, in no small part, to a clutch use of the Dark Matter Crystal to grab that objective. That thing is going to be incredibly useful.

You know aspiring and sots might get big smite instead of mini smite. They seem to be getting more relevence and with smite nerf it is possible. I think i read here we dont pay for him seperate only his gear so maybe not.
The extra spell, added range and cheaper cost makes me inclined to say they will not as it is huge. The smite nerf however makes it a wild card.

Not much, but not a slaughter or embarrassment either - especially with observable mistakes made by Eddy.

And if the objective of the game was different? Did the models feel balanced? I recall the custodes player being outnumbered 5:1? And having semi bad die rolling. Granted Magnus did too, but not as bad as the Custodes.

Maybe I missed them, but I dont recall there being that much left over. I thought the custodes still seriously outnumbered Thousand Sons?

There was maybe less than 4 Custodian models left at the end. 
Ahriman, the daemon prince and rubrics were in solid control of the necessary objectives by the end

there were 3 models left for custodes: 2 terminators and half dead land raider controlling 1 objective.
There were more models left for thousand sons: 1 tzaangor on disc, 1 tzaangor on foot, shaman, ahriman, daemon prince and several rubrics (almost full squad).
