Unless the point change leaks are missing something, the standard space marine is dead. Chosen are 14pts while regular CSM are 13pts still. Intercessors are 17pts with a better gun and +1 wound.

Chaos Terminators paying 5 points for the ability to buy full combiplas and shoot twice probably...
basic loyalist termies have drastically worse wargear options.

Thats kind of wierd, tit for tat, PW + Combi Bolter, or PF + Storm bolter... is equal?
Paying a head of time, for a unit that could possible take XYZ... really is off. You would just make XYZ more, and not punish the person who wants to play CSM Termies with Combi bolters / PS.
Maybe it is all true, as I said. Its still a reduction for Combiplas/Power Axe CSM Termies. Still good point reductions for Deamon units I use/like. And Tau did not get shafted as far as points going up.

As I said page back, some deception. GW confirmed 2 things, GK going down and big changes and a SoB index. No leaks have shown these 2 things, one of them is actually contradicted based off the leaks.
So while I hope the points reduction in most cases are true, there is something not shown or in the works for GK , at the very least I would gather.

Yeah, it looks like they want the end cost of both units to be roughly equal. Since most loyalist termies HAVE to buy Powerfist and can only get a whimpy storm bolter, it sorta makes sense. Especially if they wanted to drop the cost of Combi-weapons for all units, but keep Chaos termies a bit higher.
Still weird though.

You shouldn't have to PAY for opportunity though. That's the line of logic of Conscripts and Infantry being the same price, as you have an opportunity to make the squad size larger. That's just not how it should work.

Well, guess they thought of making the rest as powerful as Drukhari and not Drukhari weaker. Some units got massive point drops, so I can see a shift in power.

That's true, but I'm just calling it as I see it here: There is a strong shooting combo that Chaos Terminators have that Loyalists dont and loyalists are locked into much more rigid weapon configurations: 1 special, 1 special melee, the rest fist/storm bolter.
That said, Deathwatch termies are going to be aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing. That is, if you're not already stuffed full of 14pt vets with 2 point storm shields and Intercessors that can be turned into Indomitus Veterans to spray out 4 hit on 3s wound on 2s rerolling AP-1 shots.

You do get some very weird stuff. Like the redemptor is a lot cheaper, which is nice. The heavy onslaught gatling cannon is also a bit cheaper, but not the plasma gun option. Why not, when in the rare cases anyone ever takes a redemptor it's always with the gatling gun?
One of the things I'm happiest about is a serious cut to the cost of crisis suits. I'll have to do some adding up later but it looks like those might now actually work. Big cuts to the cost of the guys themselves and their guns.
Another odd thing is having the cost of my Primaris captain cut by quite a lot. He's 92 points now with a plasma pistol and a power fist - upgraded to the fist of vengeance. That really is a bargain. I guess he's benefiting from cuts intended for other units, but that doesn't explain why the base model has come down.

I'm not sure whether deathwatch will be able to use that detachment. Definitely not saying that they can't, but it might be odd if they could. If they did, would it affect non-intercessors in intercessor squads?

We don't have a scan of the Indomitus Crusaders page, it's true, but the preview did say "Select one of your Space Marines detachments' which seems to indicate "adeptus astartes."
It would affect the Deathwatch unit "Intercessors Squad" and you would get the +1A and +1ld on any attached members as well, however since they don't have Bolt Rifles the stratagems would not work onthem.
Also, there seems to be no way to get the relic/warlord trait on the Deathwatch if they can take the detachment, because they have Primaris Watch Captains and not Primaris Captains. Space Wolves would have the same issue.

Wow, really a lot of points dropped.
CSM got quite a lot of love. I am glad. A hellbrute is even cheaper now. Same goes for a Defiler. This is especially because a lot of our weapon options all went down in cost. A missile launcher, twin lascannon Hellbrute is now barely 120 points total. It used to cost 150 points.
A defiler with scourge and reaper autocannon is now just under 150 points! @_@
Even forgefiends got love. Autocannon Forgefiend is now 148 points. It used to cost 177 points!
Chosen at 14 points is like crazy. They are barely 1 point more than normal troop CSM, but with so much better weapon options and 2 attacks base.
And CSM's cheapest HQ is now the warpsmith. Even with all of his gear, he costs only 60 points.
Combi plasma are the same price as plasma guns - 11. Wow, so ,this means that a chaos termi with combi plasma and power sword is only 28+11+4 = 43 points.
btw, so many named HQs went down in price., Kharn used to be 160, and now he is just 120!
My only gripe is I have the lord of skulls model. How come his points wasn't adjusted down. When you have a mighty castellan at just 600 points with the firepower it has, and a 4++ save, why should a lord of skulls with less firepower and a 5++ save be more expensive...
