I expect Terminators to be boosted to 3 wounds across the board, and Paladins to get up to 4.
Not wishlisting here, thinking GW is going to do the right thing with Tau / Necrons / etc coming out. From everything I can tell, the Xenos codexes are going to have a lot of AP -3 / multiwound firepower.
Terminators already suffer with all the Plasma in the game, they are going to be completely sidelined unless they become tough enough to withstand a turn of high powered shots.
That’s a feature not a bug.

Hah. Well, we're about to harvest a whole host of new issues with DE, Necrons, and whatever else springs up between now and then. And once Dark Reapers and pals are sorted (I hope) then it's entirely possibly other things will spring up because they were so blinding.

Absolutely, I don't think anyone is under the illusion that this FAQ will make the game perfectly balanced but if you remove the worst offenders it's still making it better incrementally.
And the release date basically has to coincide with when the TAU errata would come out in my opinion, so very end of March.

The only path towards balance is iteration. The FAQ is a new iteration, and while not every single iteration will be a step to a more balanced game, multiple iterations will be.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

"IF" GW is planning on upping the points on AM troops 10pts I would prefer to see them just make the "requirement" : 1 platoon commander per 2 troop squads. This way you get the points increase without actually raising the pts per model plus gives us access to additional orders
... seems like a fair and reasonable addition

This is my thought as well. 2 weeks after Tau puts us on 31 March, so I'd expect this to release around then.

"Courage and Honour. I hear you murmur these words in the mist, in their wake I hear your hearts beat harder with false conviction seeking to convince yourselves that a brave death has meaning.
There is no courage to be found here my nephews, no honour to be had. Your souls will join the trillion others in the mist shrieking uselessly to eternity, weeping for the empire you could not save.
To the unfaithful, I bring holy plagues ripe with enlightenment. To the devout, I bring the blessing of immortality through the kiss of sacred rot.
And to you, new-born sons of Gulliman, to you flesh crafted puppets of a failing Imperium I bring the holiest gift of all.... Silence."

Here’s where I expect Astra Militarum to end up
Leman Russ ~194 base
Manticore ~ 179 complete
Basilisk ~ 138 complete
Lasgun - 1 (not a straight increase to all guard but makes most 5ppm)
I did not pull these numbers out my ass, I have a model I use. It’s based on comparing to the marine and their vehicles.

That's not how this works, necessarily. We've been over this.

FAQ is also explicitly stated to be for balance changes
From Warhammer Community, emphasis added:
2: Big, Twice-a-year FAQs
Major game-wide questions will be answered on a biannual basis each March and September when a wider set of FAQ updates will be released. These will be focused on anything that might emerge as more codexes, and thus more unusual interactions, make their way into the game and will address issues across multiple factions and publications. We’ll also use these to address balance issues in the game, so these might include a few changes to rules for overly powerful, or underrepresented units.
So by 'balance changes', they don't mean points adjustments.
