Armiger fans can instead fill the battlefield with noble squires in the Spearhead-at-Arms Detachment, giving the diminutive Knights Battleline and letting your Bondsman abilities affect up to three models instead of just one.
...why they didn't create a special rule for running one Armiger as a warlord previously is beyond me, but at least it's here now.
Maybe hints of 11th ed proofing? I dont remember enhancements being expendable before, and Level of Control on an objective seems a new, more granular sticky objective.

I thought it was just me... I didn't recognize a lot of the new material.

There's mention in the article that Knights have ways to refresh their enhancements, so it may just be a wording used specifically for them to allow that functionality rather than using a confusing "once per game" terminology, with another rule that overrides it.
Glad the FNP has gone. I see GW still have major problems understanding the power level of various things in their own game. The best Quality option is so laughably obvious I wonder whyt hey bothered with the other two options.
Space Marine 2 (videogame) is introducing new weapons to the game including the Pyreblaser (we have that already) and a Pyre Cannon. I wonder if those will be introduced to the tabletop game.

Well, crap. I totally forgot about that. Between being few and far between in games, and sternguard not being popular here, I spaced that this isn't a new weapon. I deserve ridicule.

To be fair, I needed to look up the super special bespoke name they gave to the heavy flamer in the new kit. Because we can’t have normal sensible names anymore. At least they were consistent.

Its because they want to be able to adjust stats independently for balance reasons without people complaining about how there are two different weapons called a heavy flamer with different stats

I get that it lets them fine tune balance, and adjust things on a per unit basis.
I also long for a return of simplicity, when all the weapons in the army fit on less then half a page in the codex.
Complicated feelings on the issue; I see both sides.

Except they already do that. See: Soulshatter Lascannons for the Chaos Land Raider having different different abilities in World Eaters(Rapid Fire vs every other version not having Rapid Fire to make up for only hitting on 4+).

Different Codecs, though.
It’s pretty sensible to want the same weapon in the same Codex to be as similar as possible.

Instead there are a million different 'close combat weapons', and they're significantly different between Ork Nobs depending on which other models are in the unit...

Odd fight to pick, "close combat weapon" is defined as the generic whatever is to hand weapon (including hands), always has been. It makes perfect sense they don't have identical stats..
With Lady Malys on tow (bit too sane for my taste):
Pity there is no clear view of her chest. Wasn't she supposed to have been won a crystal heart (and blade) from a figure that might have been the Laughing God? She had to carve out her own heart and replace it with the gifted heart. Wonder if they will reference this event or this gift with her background or actual stats. I'm guessing her sword is the blade she won.

I think I prefer her veiled head more? The face is fine, I just think the DE should always be showing emotions. Revel in passions. She just seems so calm?
Do like the new archon as well.
Not just a codex plus character release. It’s a codex and two characters!
Two whole characters this edition, master is very generous.
Even back in the day (TM) when 40k got two armies a year, the 10 years between resculpts for DE was outrageous. And now we're on what, 16 years since that one?
The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.

They are supposedly getting a significant refresh in 11th.

As much as I loathe the Spikey Knights for having 64,000 Armiger variants... they still don't have any named characters.

I hope they do something with Malys to take the focus off Vect, because it was getting boring with him seemingly always on top and everything "Just As Planned". I don't think any one character should be effectively the be all and end all of their faction. Maybe show Malys being able to outwit Vect now that she has a bond with the Laughing God, and Vect starting to slip up and his grip on the Dark City loosening.
