Hi all,

where is it written that Grey knights Strike/Purgation/Interceptor squads have 2 wounds per model?

Cause I scoured the erratas and couldn't find it... I know they should have them, but where is it specifically written?

Thanks!

**Argive**

it isint written anywhere. So 1 wound.
Because GW...

**ThulsaDoom**

Huh....

So psyker demon-hunting-uber-marines are weaker than regular marines...isn't that oh so very fluffy?

thanks for the confirmation

Dunno what to tell you... But at the moment, everyones troops/line infantry in 40k is weaker than a regular marine..
Even regular marine that's made pact with ancient evil dietities corrupting themselves for power.. Is less powerful than a regular marine. Because GW...

No, it's because GW sucks at uniform changes across the board. See "Autocannons" and "Bolters", for more. Basically GW doesn't want to do things for free. You want those extra wounds, you better buy that book that comes out next year. Until then, have you seen our new Drukhari box sets!?!? Only 120 dollars, well, if you want to play all the way, you have to buy this new 60 dollar book as well. So that'll be 180. But don't forget.......

On the bright side, when they get around to putting out an updated GK codex, they might decide to give them 3 wounds to make them look better than the "regular" 2 wound Space Marines. (with accompanying point/power hikes)

Thousand Sons are in the same boat, just have to wait for the update.

And they will do it just to force Custodes to cry until their book comes out and they bump Custodes up to 4W a model.

From Warhammer Community (emphasis added):

What’s more, both of these units get a suitably chunky statline boost to match their powerful new weaponry too!

Oh, speaking of stat boosts, Space Marines will get some of those in their codex too. In fact…

…ALL FULLY-FLEDGED SPACE MARINES WILL BE GETTING 2 WOUNDS!

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.

Of course, all these updates will also come with a suitable points adjustment. The aforementioned Tactical Marine will clock in at 18pts for his extra Wound (20% more than he is today). And it means Space Marine forces will be compact, elite, durable and utterly deadly – just as they should be.

These new rules and points will come into effect officially, as new codexes are released. The first two codexes will be with us in October (along with loads of new miniatures) and we’ll be taking a closer look at them and what to expect from next month. As always, we’ll keep you up to date on the changes here on warhammer-community.com.
