TheValdor Tank Hunter is in a similar boar where it got a decent discount, but lost some oomph in exchange, and doesnt really end up as a desireable package overall. If so, that sucks Drills at least were something Id have liked to see stick around in Death Guard armies, and the loss of them is a major blow to a lot of current competitive builds. Not a huge change, but really impactful vs some targets.

This ability is included on most relic units dawning from the Horus Heresy era if a unit has this ability on its profile then the detachment it is taken in increases in cost by 1CP. Fast, durable-ish units that are OK in melee is absolutely something the guard range is badly missing for 9th, so it does feel like a Krieg Vanguard or Outrider to use some of these is a genuinely plausible option. Sagittarum Guard [CORE] : Same points, but apparently the bolter half of their gun was a heavy bolter, because now it is 2 damage. All of these units follow the standard rules for their factions. These datasheets include. And add to that the fact that they now cost us CP and the same amount of points as the loyalist versions despite losing out on Legion Traits and Combat Doctrines and youve got a recipe for one salty Rob.

So if you were debating trying it before, it is certainly more tempting now (but still D3 damage, ugh). ability rather than regularWaaagh!, meaning that you need an alternative boss if you want to buff up infantry. TheKustom Stompa gets its cost brought more in line with a standard one, which is a relief, and its Stompa lifta-droppa gets an absurd boost, going to 4d3 shots instead of 2d6, rolling 3d6 against T to wound and now doing d3+3 damage at AP-4 instead of just a single mortal. This isincredibly bad;for some units itll just limit to your ability to include multiples but more than likely itll just make some units unplayably bad, since theyre likely to be overcosted before you include the CP. (LogOut/ The other builds havent gone downas much as the HPL build, but with every build getting cheaper and a buff being applied to a unit that was already playable makes these the clearest, standout winner here. Also the only weapon that costs points now is the Arachnus Storm Cannon (which costs the same as before effectively), so every other weapon load out is cheaper now, which is cool. There isnt any massive rules changes, but some minor adjustments and a few buffs/discounts scattered around (or in the case of Venatari, a minor change with a HUGE impact). Falchion/Fellblade As an unapologetic lover of all forms of BIG TANKs, I had to take a look at these too. The Gatling Cannon is unchanged, and the Cleavers Slash profile gets a helpful boost moving to 2 damage from D3. On to the datasheets themselves we see a number of changes across the profiles, with the biggest change being weapons a lot have had damage or number of attacks added in line with the changes seen in the Space Marine Codex, units have also been updated to reflect any rules changes from that book such as Duty Eternal being added to all Dreadnoughts making them a lot more survivable. As a bonus, he doesnt have Martial Legacy, so wont be costing you a CP to field. Vindicator Laser Destroyer. They overly complicated old void shield rules have disappeared, now using the new rules we talked about for the Astraeus. While recently they havent needed them quite as much, there were certainly times when Hellforged Deredeos and Leviathans were big business, and Ive run a Kytan Ravager on more than one occasion. His feel no pain drops from a 4+ down to a 5+, and his dreadfire heavy flamers lose a point of damage (though they do increase their range up to 12). This is a much better way of the unit working and makes my life as a Krieg commander much easier in terms of having to previously try and fence off the crew to stop them getting charged! The basic and command squad variants go up to three wounds a pop with a 5+ FNP for 15pts each, and get slightly improved in melee from their previous incarnation, with their mounts getting a point of AP on their attacks. So this makes the bombs way better against an MSU style list that huddles up as it moves around (see MARINES), but makes them much worse vs hordes. We see quite a few units get tweaked to remove degrading profiles too, such as on the Blood Slaughterer. Now, sure he's a bit less survivable with t7 (and not a 4++ in cc, oh noooo) but his guns are sort of better and he's so cheap. Medusas of all flavours get a more functional boost some go up in cost slightly, but the damage on their big gun increases to d6, obviously very nice and much more scary to be up against when theyre well hidden. Alright lets start with the cool stuff that only Chaos Space Marines get, instead of the things we share with loyalists. Its also a really well organised book making it much easier to use both during a game and while creating your list. Much the same as their imperial counterparts!

Realistically, the story is the same across the board here these all get minor cost reductions and some get boosts to their weapons, making them all a bit more exciting to use, but probably not enough to overcome the limitations of their slot. The Regimental Doctrine for Krieg was shown off on Warcom and is kind ofeh not really lighting up the world. (LogOut/ Also gained the -1D taken Dread ability we have seen the Marine Dreads get, got an extra base attack (reasons), and got 5 points cheaper. Back at the launch of the 8th edition of Warhammer 40,000 we saw a series of volumes from Forge World collecting together all the rules for Forge World units in the new edition of the game.

Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Armour: Compendium is available now from Forge World for 40. Both Hierodule builds getmassive discounts too (and sit in the Heavy Support slot), and the Scythed option ends up in a pretty similar spot to the Dimachaeron, though Id probably give that monstrosity the not because of its invuln and mobility tricks (though to be fair if you have a slot free to put Dermic Symbiosis on the Hierodule its probably better). Hes still a respectable choice, as in trade-off for no longer getting to be a non-sensically good psyker he got stat boosts better weapon skill, an extra wound and mortal wound resistance on his shield. I reckon the Studio have done a great job here at bringing together all these profiles updated and tweaked for the new addition with baked in compatibility to their parent Codexes. That makes them kind of losers overall. [[2], This compendium includes 222 datasheets, including super-heavy units and highly specialised troops. Imperial Armour Compendium.

Leviathan Dreadnought. Most notably, the damage of both modes of the flamer has gone down to one, and the other gun has lost AP and the ability to deal MWs to vehicles, and theres really nothing else here thats going to make up for that. For their part, Death Guard get their own section with a single unit immediately following, so theres a good chance this is intentional and not just an error. Likewise their Dreadnoughts also get the same damage reducing abilities to bring them inline! Theres a clear set of principles running through all the changes in this book, which are generally very healthy for the game but might make owners of a few units a bit sad.

Im here to talk about CHAOS! 2 - Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition, War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes (Second Edition), Vol. In the same way as Space Marines, the Traitors also have to spend an additional CP if they want to take a Martial Legacy unit. Its tougher, its way meaner on the offence, it starts with its 5++ and grows a 5+++as well if it devours something and only pays an extra 20pts for the privilege. The bad news is, it now degrades in much more boring fashion, losing Movement, WS, and BS (dropping to 5+), but it doesnt lose any Attacks or Strength, so at least theres that. At that point, given their defensive profile and the fact that they can just flatten stuff in melee, I think theres a plausible argument for trying three of these as a silly gimmick build.

It changes a reasonable amount the weapon goes to D2 rather than D3but the Nova charge mode is now just a flat 9 shots per fun (so 18 total), it goes up to S7 when you Nova it, and the whole package has come down a cool 110pts. At that point, slap an ATS on it and the main guns are straight up better heavy burst cannons on a chassis thats tougher than a Riptide, so while you do trade off a bit of flexibility, its at least a usable option. as well. Similar to named characters in any other book, Forgeworld has mandated a specific warlord trait for them, unfortunately that trait is Inspiring Leader from the core rulebook, so youll never actually want to make one of these characters your warlord. Ultimately, its a stronger unit, but its still a Lord of War. Some had vastly over the top rules for their relatively cheap points levels, while others seemed far too expensive in points for their in-game performance. Krootcon Down Under Am I getting good at this? If you are a fan of Forge World models and want the chance to use them in your games of 40k then you really should pick this book up, and while I understand that for pure Tyranid players it may seem a shame you have to fork out for the entire book, for those who collect multiple armies it is great having all these profiles collected in one place!

Trojans are the other huge loss. That probably still isnt pushing them to the top tables.

The deathshroud build feels like the play, and the fact that this loadout is over 120pts cheaper than in CA is kind of mind boggling. The Imperial Knights get profiles for all Knight variants currently produced by Forge World including some much appreciated points cuts! The Lynx also gets a substantial simplification and a cost reduction, and probably ends up more practical out of it. Sicarans in general also bumped up to a 2+ save, making them surprisingly durable, and took a substantial points cut. Sadly, the loss of the OG FW index habit of just slapping BS2+ on everything big hits Tau among the hardest. The Marshal still exists, but sadly without his Memento Mori, which is a shame as I felt that was a great upgrade. Whereas before Chaos players could laugh at loyalists forced to play around unit restrictions thanks to the Relic rule, now were in the exact same boat as loyalists, in that many of the units that you might take from this book now cost you 1 CP to add to a detachment. Imperial Armour Compendium is an Imperial Armour book for the 9th Edition of Warhammer 40,000. Custodian Guard with Adrasite/Pyrithite Spears [CORE] : Pyrithite spears got the new melta rule of half range equals D6+2 damage, but also went up by 5 points, so a slight nerf overall.

We also have full reviews of both Codex Supplement: Space Wolves and Codex Supplement: Deathwatch, both also up for preorder today! This is because it is only 1500pts, leaving you enough leftovers to putsomething in your list to contest objectives, and its statline is a wild ride. In the past, there were a few standout units that could be found in almost any army (looking at you contemptors and leviathans), and a lot of units that were just nowhere near usable. Even Forge World armies such as the Death Korps of Krieg ended up in a weird limbo where they could use some units from the Astra Militarum book, but not all in exchange for getting access to a couple of unique units. Theres a bunch of stuff here that gets decent discounts or modest changes that make them a bit more usable without pushing them over into true winners. which get a few tweaks but dont change massively. Shane: No major rules changes, mostly sweeping points drops. Then theres theGreater Brass Scorpion,which dropped 75 points while going up to 28 wounds It now also degrades in WS and BS, and so will always have 6 attacks to whiff with as it loses accuracy.

No longer will you have to flick back and forth to the very back to find your factions points! Right out the gate, theCarnodon gets a minor discount and some extra wounds nothing exciting, but nothing to sniff at either. He did also get whats probably a downgrade in being declared a Terminator, but if you were planning on warping him in anyway its much of a muchness. This seems a really fun way of making Titans useable in a normal game, and Im looking forward to seeing how my titans fare as soon as we are able to film battles again! A welcome an unexpected change, in addition to the fact that the Solerite Gauntlet is now flat 2 damage (fuck you D3 damage). An all around good time here, and a genuinely nasty wrecking ball for Tyranid players. Pallas Grav-Attack: Lost the -2 to charge grav ability, but is 10 points cheaper. If any of them have game its probablyScabeiathrax, who benefits from having a whole bunch of nasty offensive options while being durable for their new cost. Additionally all the Moirax went down to 12 movement like the Cerastus, again because reasons. 47.8M . There are some changes in weapons as well stormcannon arrays trade 2 shots for an extra 12 range, melta lances gain blast but swap from 2d3 to d6 shots, and the grav-flux bombard doubles in shots and has a more standard grav weapon statline. Grav Pulsar Moirax now only deal 3 damage vs 3+ save, as opposed to the 4 damage is was before. Void shields now work in a much different way essentially while they are active you have a 5+ save, and each generator has 3 shield points each time you fail a save you lose a shield point, any excess damage is wasted, meaning you want to try and force them down with low Damage weapons to get the most benefit once a shield hits 0 points it collapses, but if you dont collapse it in a turn then it regains all its points in the command phase. The tanks are OK but theyre still Lords of War and while they may come across as somewhat usable, the CP cost to take them just isnt worth it. 9th Edition Imperial Armour Compendium: The Goonhammer Review By James "One_Wing" Grover October 31, 2020 Forge World formed a key part of competitive play in 8th Edition, offering a wide range of additional options for some factions alongside some very cool models for players who wanted to try something different. A bright point is his dreadfire claw switching from damage D6 to damage 4, but without the absurd durability he used to have, and without the choice of warlord traits, hes not bringing much to the table. It does still have an incredibly silly amount of firepower, some guns even getting better than before, but it also drops to BS3+, and I think honestly the dream is probably dead. In the meantime, head over to the Forge World website and pick up some . Most Ork vehicles that are tank-style, along with Mega and Meka dreads, gain the Ramshackle rule from Trukks, giving them a chance to reduce incoming damage to 1 on a roll of a 6. They also, while alive, provide a 5+ invulnerable save. Terrax-Pattern Termite. The Cyclopsalso gets a minor discount out of the gate, and hilariously gains the ability to ride in transports (though cant shoot on the turn it gets out, which limits the utility). At the moment this profile only applies to the Macharius twin variant, however it would not surprise me to see that profile in the new AM book! Given how good Ghaz is that isnt a massive ask, and this guy importantlycan still takeDa Killa Klaw, has the right keyword to beDa Biggest Boss if you arent packing Ghaz, and has gained a point of toughness (T7!) Ares Gunship: ARES-GATE continues, with a 20 point increase, and the attack changes from the Orion. The Custodians get the profiles that have previously available on the Forge World website, not massive updates for these outside of some points adjustments, but all the Dreadnoughts including the Telemon have been given the same rule as Astartes Dreads allowing them to reduce damage of incoming shots by 1! These headers then drill down further into the various factions within that bucket, detailing any specific rules or codex interactions, all the datasheets and then the points values collected together at the end of each faction in the much easier style seen in the other Codex releases for 9th edition! Unfortunately, both of these get hit hard by being forced to take theInspiring Leader warlord trait. The Thousand Sons appear to get nothing, which sucks. Minotaurs Imperial Fists with Duellists and Stalwart chapter tactics. The Reaper has been dialed back abit from its absurdly pushed position in Chapter Approved, going up a few points and being standardised to the Raider profile, but it keeps the ability to be Covens so can still abuse Dark Technomancers to your hearts content, with the big profile of the main gun even getting a damage boost. He is still the only leviathan remaining with WS and BS 2+, but even at his new lower points cost doesnt offer much.

Transporting 12 models, you can bring in a full 10 man squad with character support, all while having tons of firepower for a mere 180 points (or 190 with the even better Volkite side-weapons). They all picked up a substantial number of wounds, with a warhound now having 50 wounds and a warlord 120, but dropped in toughness, with the warlord the only titan at T9. It retains the CORE keyword, and if you arm it with a kheres assault cannon or multimelta and dreadnought close combat weapon it costs the same as the codex version (well, and an extra 1 CP cost.). TheMeka-Dread andMega-Dread both get quite a lot cheaper and that definitely works in their favour they dont have as many weird and wonderful options, but their defensive profile is just way more proportionate to their price if you feel like taking them. Already very good, the Terrax picks up several buffs that cement it as the premiere way to transport firstborn marines. Credit: That Gobbo. The Kustom Stompa not only gets a decent points cut to 800 points, but also gets ome much improved weapons such as the Belly Gun now getting 3D6 shots! He might be an Elite or an HQ (listed differently in the points values vs his datasheet), but either way hes clearly worth taking. BIG bonus. Weapon profiles and the stat line stayed exactly the same, its just firing half as many shots. Hellforged Leviathan Dreadnought. Most notably, its aura now has a 6 radius, making it even easier to use it to shield your forces. Now yes, that nearly in the previous sentence is a little ominous as there are a couple of strange exceptions. It gets a 4++ to compensate, but Im not sure that gets it back over the line into lists with all the cool new options to compete with. Whether you want to reclaim the galaxy with the Necrons, burn it to a cinder with the Chaos Space Marines, or convince everyone to join the Greater Good with the T'au Empire, this book contains the datasheets and the points values you need..

Much better than the past, where overcharge always did damage and staying still merely let you shoot volley fire twice. The only other change is to the bombs, which is drastically different. A lot of the profiles have been tidied a little and they benefit greatly from this, as degrading profiles on low wound models like this was often a problem in the previous edition. The Imperium section of the book is fairly chunky and contains a shed load of new profiles and rules! Wait, WHAT!?! I absolutely do not think doing so is a good idea for your army, but its in a similar spot to a few other things now where it probably isroughly costed right for what it can do, its just that factors of the mission design still keep it non-competitive. There are two wide-reaching rules for marines. All told, the leviathan takes a substantial hit to both offense and defense, balanced out by dropping all the way down to a base 220 points, and only up to 240 with the common double storm cannon loadout. Venatari, Dreads, and Aquilon come out looking pretty damn good with the new FW book.

This tank was utter garbage ever since it released, being essentially a bunch of plasma guns that could overheat to have fewer shots.

The Skathach Wraithknight also gets a surprisingly huge amount of improvement, honestly shifting itstraight to being much more worth considering than the regular one. Yep! Both options are now a pretty substantial firepower boost. This is a great introduction for people who may have missed out on the Siege of Vraks series and gives some brilliantly grimdark flavour to this most dark of regiments! This book is absolutely stackedwith content, and up front we have to be clear we are not going to go through every single datasheet line by line, as theres far too many for us to possibly do that. As with the Space Marines we see a number of points adjustments that bring both of these forces in line with each other. Also the shooting attack on the spear is up to flat 3 damage, from D3 damage.
