Have fun digging and finding the juiciest nuggets.
Rotate Ion Shields Nerfed! Mob Up Nerfed! You can FLY in the Charge Phase again!
Doesn't seem to be any points changes I can see though. :(
PSA: Castellan points changes and Assassin changes not in the right FAQs
These can only be found in this document here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/warhammer_40000_update_April_2019_en.pdf At the time of writing this document does not show up on the main FAQ portal.
Kind of frustrating that GW can't even do errata right.

The predicted nerf to Doom/Jinx/Reveal and the like working only on Craftworld units is there. I'm predicting that Guard/Knight soup will be absolutely dominating (ITC) tournaments with Ynnari being nerfed to the ground, and Skyweaver spam being dead.

Note not everything new is in magenta. Oblits are back to 115 points (its not in magenta). No changes to CP batteries that I can see.

Biggest change is the 4++ for knights.
I think this changes from having 1 knight with a 3++ to having 2 knights with a 4++.
Mental Onslaught NERFED! That is huge also.
Castellan again unchanged... Wait It looks like it went up by 100.
Castellan for sale!

No 3++ for Knights in general IS a change to the Castellan, so that's good.

I don't see that in the IK Erratta where it would be. Just No more 3++, Death grip nerfed, Sancristan Forge changed but still sucks. Where are you seeing this change?

Q3) Are the Daemon Prince datasheet from Codex: Chaos Space
Marines, the Daemon Prince of Chaos datasheet from Codex:
Chaos Daemons, the Daemon Prince of Nurgle datasheet from
Codex: Death Guard, and the Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
datasheet from Codex: Thousand Sons all considered different
datasheets for the purposes of the Organised Events guidelines?
A3) No. For the purposes of these guidelines all these
datasheets are all considered to be the same.
Goodbye 9 demon princes!

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.

Big fan of what I've read so far.
A big surprise was even Reveal got the "Debuffs only matter when attacked by <Faction>" erratta, but I haven't seen any other factions with that nerf.

Thousand Sons can now tank mortal wounds from Perils of the Warp on the non-sorceror models in the unit, removing the instapop problem they had and the wonky interaction with the GSC Sanctus.

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"
"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"
"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"
"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!" |

Still no clarification on what "army" means with the Renegade Traits. It's the only thing in the game which says "If your Chaos Space Marine army is taken from a Renegade Chapter" before saying you can pick the Codex trait or the Vigilus Trait. But what is "your Chaos Space Marine army"? My reading is that means your whole army has to be taken from a Renegade Chapter (i.e. not a Legion) to take the traits. So no Black Legion + Red Corsair min battalion.
Nearly everyone I talk to disagrees with me and says it works like normal, but this sentence is unique to this section and there's nothing which indicates what "your army taken from" means.

The ability to insta-pop someone with either death grip or GSC mental onslaught has been removed - both now automatically fail if the defending model rolls a natural 6.
Automatically Appended Next Post:
Hand Flamers appear to have been updated to the D6 profile from the GSC codex for everybody.

Sort of.
You only ignore vertical distance and terrain in the movement phase. In the charge phase you ignore models (except buildings), but you have to measure vertical distance and you have to move around terrain.
Still, seems a good compromise!

Metal onslaught was just broken RAW, deathgrip taking 2 nerfs in the same FAQ was probably unnecessary.
Castellen is very dead now, expect to see them going for pennies on Ebay shortly.

Really really good. Fly is back in a meaningful way. Castellans, Ynnari, and Doom eat it.
IS are still 4 points so I guess we still have SOMETHING to argue about.  Automatically Appended Next Post: Ice_can wrote:

They're still quite good, but to each their own.
