Vigo. Spain.

Buff to Smite compared with Beta Rules.:
Warp Charge increases +1 with a Cap at 11, instead of stacking -1 to each time you cast it.

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

Not quite true. If they cast proper Smite, it still applies. It's the baby-smites that are unaffected.

Nope, not in the current rules.

Any detachment can use it.

I suppose that goes hand in hand with how big the troop and HQ taxes are for some of the more elite armies, but conversely it just buffs hordes more.

I think this makes the Grand Strategist+Kurov's Aquila combo less of a "must take"

It also helps dissuade multi-patrol soup, as you're giving up even more CP.

It's a good change for the most part as long as people stick to the 3 detachment rule.

With the buff to the cp, to stop the spam and abuse, they could say you need to fill a detachment before you can pick a second one.

If you field more than one, your opponent is entitled to set about your face with a hammer.

I may have made that up.

You can only use a datasheet 0-3 times, aside from troops and transports.

It's a desperately needed change to be honest (the cp one). I can now make much, much better armies without haven't do weird stuff and have enough CP to make an actual impact on games. Especially in the the more CP hungry lists that happen to be relatively elite.

Then I'm hoping for my .45 acp counter strategem to seeing a primarch across the table...

It's not exactly "Matched Play" rule - it's a recommendation for tournament events.

Any exemption stated for Inquisition, or are they just going to let them die quietly the rest of the way?

It's not hardcapped. It's a recommendation, not a rule.

Tournaments will probably make a rule, but that's how it is from GW.

Nice to get a CP boost for elite armies such as Custodes, we're not forced to take a Guard battalion to get a decent amount.

Thank christ, removing themed armies from standard play would have been a rather nasty slapdown to everyone who doesn’t think with a tournament mindset.
