6th ed facts, thats right i have the rulebook 3 days early

Is there such thing as a power axe? I thought they were clumped in with "power weapons"

[Guidebot]

Anyone else thinkthe new wound allocation stuff might really help reduce the problem with certain GK units? I mean with models being removed in ordr of proximity to shooter you are going to need far fewer wounds to start reducing their effectiveness. Indeed just a couple of wounds will kill one instead of them having one woudn allocated to several models accross the squad.

Aye, this is true, though with some canny positioning (different model closest to each immediate shooting threat and cycling wounded models to the back when possible) there can still be some mitigation. Of course, nowhere near the insanity that was 5th wound allocation.

Hey, can powerfist sergeants and the like still hide forever behind a wall of ablative squaddies? I really hope they change that, as it just makes raveners (for e.g.) very hard to use against most armies (even if you kill say 6 marines, the fist will still swing and probably tie the combat if it kills two raveners).

And TSINI: Not any more.

From the looks of things, power weapon with a bonus strength, but a negative to I to balance

Not sure if i missed, tried to double check tho:
- Do assault weapons grant any bonuses in assault?

- Monstrous Creature "stomp" attack, resolved at what strenght, iniative, bonuses?


Thanks for taking the time to answer us these questions

Ah yes but he's the only SC in the entire game (all codexes) with armor that gold.

=)

Also with JumpPs getting a boost, his vanguard combatsquadding shenanigans might see more favor.

Also, his armor is more gold than anyone elses.

Well aside from Tycho a couple of pages later

I think people will just move their units differently to counter this new rule.

x=Crusader

o=Deathcult Assassin

Firing unit.


x x x x x x
o o o o o o

6 wounds allocated to crusaders before Assassins take any.
