I played 40k from 4th Ed to the end of 6th. I liked the base game of 8th Ed 40k but with so many rule changes within the system it was too much to keep up with as a casual gamer, so I didn't really play 8th. With 9th edition on the horizon I have a quick question.
I have the space Marine book and the Raven gaurd book. My question is this:
Do I get both the chapter tactics rule (-1 to my units in cover)
And the sons of corax abilities (surgical strike). Or does surgical strike make the chapter tactics useless?
