I'm surprised that they've given these bikes 4 wounds, was expecting the standard +1 wound only.

Interesting to see what the points cost will be.

Ain't that the truth.

Also, they'll probably be priced like 4 points higher per model than the non-primaris ones.

2 points per wound - the standard price of a wound in warhammer 40,000

also does mortal wounds on the charge i'd bet

probably twin bolt rifles for extra range and ap

Well, bikes work this way:

- 1 hand to use your chainsaw
- 1 hand to drive the bike
- 1 hand to shoot the bike's gun
Makes perfect sense, you just need 4 hands!

I do like that one of the new bike dudes appears to have a big goofy knife. Reminds me of my very first space marine model I painted, which was a biker.

Someone had heavily emphasized that models HAD TO BE WYSIWYG no matter what, so I knew that in order to have his pistol he needed to be holding it.

But the only arms he came with were turned sideways!

so to make it work my first space marine biker is holding his gun sideways, and I borrowed some gold foil craft paint from my mom so that I could make sure he had extra bling on his gun barrel, face grill, and ammo.

Mad Doc Grotsnik wrote:Cultists are also less vulnerable to multi damage weapons.

To wipe out each unit in turn with your standard D1 weapon will take, respectively, 10 and 16 shots.

But, turn D2 or more damage weapons on them? And it drops to 5 for the Intercessors....but remains 16 for Cultists.

Yes, Intercessors are far more resilient. They’re tougher and have vastly superior armour. But the risk remains. 5 Autocannons can wipe out 5 Intercessors, but they can still only ever kill a total of 10 Cultists (two shots each for the Autocannon). So even in worst case scenarios for the Intercessor and Cultists, the Cultists will still be left with 6 models on the table after that batch of shooting.

In turn, when it comes to more exotic builds (say, Nidzilla, Armoured Company etc), Intercessors are just far more vulnerable, because of the plethora of multi damage weapons. A Carnifex with boosted attacks and all the re- rolls in the world will still chew through the Intercessors faster than the Cultists.

And all that time they remain on the board, the Cultists are still capable of achieving something. Sure, they’re pretty unlikely to go smashing up enemy units....but they can scuttle off into cover, ready to make a late game break for an objective, or block the foe from charging a more critical unit.

Their very disposability is a factor in their points value, or at least it should be. Because all the time they’re being a nuisance of some kind, they’re a distraction for the enemy’s finite kill potential in a given turn. Yes, they’ll die to a stiff breeze, but don’t die in any greater number against really nasty stuff.

Should probably add I’m not saying 6 point Cultists are well priced, as we simply cannot know that now until we’ve seen how everything else stacks up. Just trying to illustrate that points are about more than just kill power and armour save.


Question: why would you fire D2 weapons at T3 1W 6+SV targets? When there are far better targets for such weapons? And there are so many high ROF D1 weapons in the game that would be better suited for use against said T3 1W 6+SV targets? Target priority is a thing. The only reason you would fire D2 weapons against cultists is if it's your only option, such as your Nidzilla example.

And all those D1 weapons are less efficient against intercessors. So that would balance things out wouldn't it?

40K for GW is a package, it always has been. The rules are one component of that. They wanna build a package which also has lore, art style, model coolness, buisness and marketability factors.

For them its like the equalizer on an old stereo, they tweak each lever until they get an overall sound they are happy with.


Well can someone please tell them to turn the knob away from Dragon Force and back towards Bolt Thrower?

Mixed weapons for Necron Warrior squads confirmed.

'Devastating Charge' gives the new Outrider bikes two additional attacks on the charge.

Hopefully this will end the crying about how all the new units are useless.

Edit: they just talked about a new necron army wide rule to make them more proactive (where as RP is defensive they wanted a rule to encourage interacting with the other army) and will be shaped the dynasty and characters

"Astartes chainsword" is definitely different to other chainswords, bikes give +2 attacks on the charge for average of 6 each

Not sure a fourth wound is actually that great for their balance of durability and mobility relative to actual damage output. Likely to make it harder to not under or overpower them, similar to how in an extreme example, a land raider has a lot of on paper assets it needs to pay for but very little actual impact relative to cost.

haha you almost called the mortal wounds on the charge, +2 attacks instead, so you get 6 astartes chainsword attacks per bike

Yes, that sounds great. I'm very happy that they identified that the rule didn't really work. This makes everything much more interesting to me.

It also makes that article from the other day even more useless...
