6th Ed Content Rumours

[eldargal]

I believe transports destroyed in zoom mode lose all their passengers but I'm not sure. Might be that they take a S10 hit, but then that may have been if a flyer crashes into them.

I'm thinking the voidraven void mine will be more useful. Zoom over some enemy, drop the mine, pivot and shoot the place up next turn.

If they're forced into reserves that will limit their effectiveness (compensation for benefits)
Agree no post move pivot will also limit the number of effective shots that can be inflicted by 45 degree hull weapons.

Presumably current transports (except night scythe) will not be flyers (only those with supersonic) or if destroyed in zoom mode will lose all passengers. Otherwise the storm raven just became incredible &vendetta also would be even better than before.

I think you are presuming wrongly. Based on the teaser video. If you stop and look at the flyer rules, it's anything on the big oval flying base. So stormraven are indeed really good. Zoom 36" and shoot 5 weapons. Lets see: TL Assault Cannon+ TL Heavy Bolter + Hurricane bolters + all 4 Mindstrike Missles (assuming I can still shoot defensive) + psyammo + mystic + Psyflemen Dread(skys of grey?)= Some dead infantry/tanks.

Also transports are fliers. Both the Valk and Storm Raven are used as a transport in WD.

If they're destroyed the passengers take a S10 hit with no saves allowed

Thats from the WD battle report

Hm Nightwings could become extremely useful as flyer hunters when you think about it. 4++ from titan holofields so able to withstand more Skyfire fire than most other flyers, fires on flyers using normal BS rather than eeding 6s to hit (Skyfire to all intents and purposes) and has BS4 unlike most Eldar bright lance platforms.

5ht ed vehicle squadron rules + points =extra armour for free and ability to draw LOS through vehicles in unit
- points = 50% chance of destruction as immobilise counts as wrecked.

By the looks of it, Vehicle Squadrons may still suck.

WD pg 62 - " Vehicle squadrons sacrifice some of the flexibility of taking individual vehicles in exchange for increased resilience and line of sight."

How about letting us shoots at different targets with different vehicles, hey a leadership test to do it at races base LD and i might start taking them.

That turned into a bit of a rant didnt it.

[Defenestratus]

So, flyers are rather great, though they can't pivot after moving so lining up shots will be more of a challenge.

I'm actually ridiculously happy that I magnetized the hurricane bolters on the storm raven now.

The SR is going to be an offensive beast if vehicles can shoot at different targets now.

[Archon Charybdis]

I'm really hoping Aerial Assault and Supersonic get some tweaks, otherwise it seems DE vehicles are going to have paid extra for shiny toys all flyers now basically come with.

Cool find, but the links for each of the armies don't seem to work on GW's site right now.

Must be wrong or in construction there are many cursed alliances on there. I expect to be an optional rule (and of course banned in tournaments), because allies can be the end of 40k. Seriously the kind of unbanlance and heresy born on that sistem will have no precedent.
