Bzzt. Wrong.
From the GW preview today, re: their new SM Codex:
"Heavy Intercessors! And they’re called that for a reason – like their Captain, these bad-boys aren’t just heavily armed, they’re heavily armoured too, thanks to their Gravis armour. A Toughness 5 Troops unit with 3 Wounds apiece, anyone?"
And so it begins...
And from the bit that you edited out of my post that you replied to...
That’s right – it won’t just be Primaris Marines on 2 Wounds anymore! All of a sudden, a lot of units that may have felt a bit left behind become very durable and appealing. From Battle Company units such as Assault, Devastator and Tactical Marines, to the elite Terminators of the 1st Company (who will be increased to 3 Wounds accordingly), the first born will be back to prove to their Primaris battle-brothers their great worth.
And as for future codexes for other genetically engineered transhuman warriors (both of the shiny grey and spikey variety), the same will apply to them. Just think how durable that will make units like Rubric Marines or Plague Marines.
Anything Marine that isn't a Scout will start at 2W.
So Terminators are going to be 3W. Gravis Armor is going to be 3W as well...it's almost like the armor is what grants the bonus wound!

I'd like to see all basic troops go to two wounds(or more) and all or almost all the basic basic troop weapons go to Damage D2 (i.e. 1-3=1 damage, 4-6= 2 Damage not always doing 2 damage)

Lol wasn't expecting this thread to crop back up again, the general "Dakka" consensus back then and from the discussions seemed to be cautious optimism and now, the reveal of the Heavy Intercessors are certainly something people are taking caution with.
Still, and this may be redundant to some, it all comes down to points. As a Necron fan and player seeing T5 W3 Chad marines in comparison to Immortals T5 W1 does leave me feeling deflated, buuuuuut I'm only paying 18ppm for my troop choice. (Yeah that small comfort I know when Intercessors are 20ppm and soon to be W2 tacticals are also 18ppm).
If H Intercessors end up being 35ppm+ then all's well that ends well right? Just another unit in a bloated codex nothing to see here.

How many ppm is a Custodes? I'm not familiar with any of their units. Also do we know the new costs for Terminators which are going to be W3?

Around 50 per guardian, which are mostly something you don't really have much use for except standing in a corner. They have almost no effect on the board state, they are just passive points generators.

Sure. Problem is power level probably puts them about 25-30.
I'm not convinced its the end of the world, but its just another obnoxious thing Marines get for... reasons.

Bladeguard veterans with a stormshield and a better power weapon are 35.
Aggressors with 60 guns taped to them are 40
There is no way the Heavy Intercessor is going to be 35 points. I'd wager around 25-28.

28 would be fair. 8 additional points for the T5, W3, and S5 on the gun seems correct.

I wouldn't say 28 is 'fair'. Its way undercosted.

Except those units really aren't undercosted, unless you're suggesting anything Gravis is OP. I mean it's already a 20 page debate regarding Eliminators in this subforum so there's clearly different wavelengths going on. Plus the only real issue with Aggressors was double shooting on Overwatch, which is now solved.

I suppose Heavy Intercessors would finally give my Repulsor a real job. A demi-squad can actually benefit from the speed and can hold an objective when it gets to where its going.
They certainly seem like they were intended as marine killers too with their statline.

According to the leaks I got Tyranid Warriors are 27 points with an Assault 3 S5 AP-1 24" Deathspitter with a BS of 4+. They are 3W but T4 and 4+ save. 3 attacks though.
T5 and 3+ is definitely worth more than a point or two over T4 4+. But offensively the Deathspitter helps the Warrior with its Assault 3.
I think 28 is a little low, but not too far off.

So 30ppm just to err on the side of caution for H Intercessors?
I'm by no means a competitive player or a mathhammer savant but that sounds pretty decent to me...

Thats assuming the Warriors were worth 27 points to begin with.

They were 25 in 8th and pretty solid. I haven't used them in 9th, but since a bunch of stuff went up I don't see a 2 point hike being particularly damning.

Although as any owner of an ork stompa will tell you, slapping more wounds on it doesn't always make it feel tougher. Sometimes having multiple separate entities can feel more durable

Given that they got an additional wound as leaked and assuming no other changes in their datasheet, regular terminators are 31 ppm for a 3W T4 and +2 Save with a humble power sword and a crappy storm bolter. The range weapon of a heavy intercessor is far way better than a storm bolter + a power sword. In top of that regular terminators are not op sec and heavy intercessors are op sec and troop choice
imao 31 ppm for heavy intercessors is already quite undercosted in comparative.

Not to mention Terminators have to pay points for Powerfists, etc. too. That adds up quick and is mandatory for a squad.

Terminators arent getting the 3rd wound for free. They're poised to get, at minimum, a 5 point increase. Which puts the cheapest loadout ( SB + PS) at 36. If loadouts remained weird and locked, you're looking at 41 points for a Terminator.
Also calling SBs crappy is highly entertaining.

Repulsors won’t have a job until they can live long enough to do it. Vehicles in general need a massive upgrade. They’re worse off than they were with armor facings. More guns can now hurt them, and the ones that could before can do it even easier. S9 LC’s “wounded” AV14 on 5’s. Now on 3’s. S8 wounded on 6’s, now on 4’s.

And one S9 Lascannon shot could blow up a Land Raider.
Now, you need three at the ABSOLUTE minimum. On average, you'd need five failed saves, which is around 17 BS3+ Lascannons.
Before, hitting on a 3+ and glancing/penning on a 5+, you needed literally a SINGLE MORE Lascannon to kill it via HP damage. Not accounting for any penetrating hits.

Warriors also have a 12 inch fearless bubble, and their shadow of the warp bubble. I could see GW deciding those traits where def worth a few points.
