The little changes.

[Mr Mystery]

How do.

It's another 6th Ed thread! Yay! This time, it's about those little changes many might have missed or otherwise overlooked.

I'll kick off with Dangerous Terrain tests. Yep, you get your save now! Opens up new opportunities, no? Jump Infantry benefit considerably, as you can now pelt it into squads in cover!

Next sneaky one? Slow and Purposeful doesn't affect movement, the trade off being instead no Overwatch.

Your turn now!

Weapon Destroyeds on vehicles are no longer decided by attacking player, and are instead random

And you can't assault a vehicle you can't damage. So no more throwing blobs of orks at a Dreadnought to slow it down (unless theres still a power klaw in there)

I did not know either of those!

Reserves are always on 3+ (unless it can be better)

Defensive grenades give stealth to you if the people shooting you are within 8"

Useful for Tau! And this is in addition to forcing a disordered charge!

Assaulting through Difficult Terrain reduces your I to 1 even if you ignore the movement penalties.

And no run. But yeah not getting Overwatch makes my 1ksons and Oblits sad
And Relentless on 1ksons doesn't do anything positive (yay we can assault after shooting!)

[gcsmith]

Im glad Broadsides can get slow and purposeful and still overwatch

[DrLove42]

Also weapons with "Skyfire" rule can only use their BS against aircraft. They count as BS1 (snapshots) for shooting anything else unless they have intercept rules

So according to the Guard FAQ, Hydra's need 6's to hit anything that isn'ta flier.....

Fearless models that lose combat no longer have to take armour saves and lose more guys, as a nid this makes me all super happy, just awesome.

[Aervyper]

is it just me or are a lot of blitz boxes going to be getting a workout with people ripping off power fists en-masse. I foresee a lot of bolt pistol / power fist being changed to plasma pistol / power sword or chainsword. My two cents.
