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! The Necron Tomb Stalker and Tomb Sentinel both getbig point cuts and some marginal melee weapon improvements, and while they lose a point of BS/WS, realistically any list that uses them is going to be leveraging their ability to drop in next to a Technomancer with a control node anyway, so thats easily mitigated. Alright lets start with the cool stuff that only Chaos Space Marines get, instead of the things we share with loyalists. Credit: Jack Hunter. What stats do the turbolaser have? Innocuous but also undeniably winners we have Tetras, which trade out their one shot, three tokens markerlight for a markerlight that just has heavy 3, while going down 5pts each to boot. 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. 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. 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. Weapons were all simplified, with the Macro weapon type no longer existing, and the Blast ability added where needed. This tank was utter garbage ever since it released, being essentially a bunch of plasma guns that could overheat to have fewer shots. 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. The Night Shrouds bomb is still one use only, which is a little disappointing but thankfully gets a small points cut. Its unfortunate that these are just presented as a recommendation, as they effectively mean nothing and people will continue to play with whatever rules they want. Warhammer 40k - Imperial Armour . Drukhari only have two options, and theyre both kind of fine. #warhammercommunity #warhammer #warhammer40k #wargames #wargaming #tyranids #tyranid #gamesworkshop #citadel #citadelminiatures #hivetyrant #40k #warmongers #hobby #paintingwarhammer #painting #paintingminiatures #miniaturespainting #miniatures #90s, Busy day at Sprues & Brews HQ! You Give Goonhammer Writers Serotonin. Change), You are commenting using your Facebook account. Sagittarum Guard [CORE] : Same points, but apparently the bolter half of their gun was a heavy bolter, because now it is 2 damage. I think it is fair to say however that there was a wide gulf in the balance and efficiency of these units. 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). Imperial Armour Compendium is an Imperial Armour book for the 9th Edition of Warhammer 40,000. With the new edition of the game now out in the wild, Forge World have released a similar book this time containing the rules of nearly every unit they currently produce.

Grav tanks and the Ares. Orion Assault Dropship: Other than it has less attacks when degraded, entirely unchanged, same points etc. The Stormblade andPraetor stand out a bit as both get a signifcant bump to their main guns, with the Stormblade going up a point of damage and the Praetor getting an extra D6 shots on the firetstorm mode. 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! The Infernus puicks up a big functional improvement too, with its Inferno gun going up to 3d6 shots! Tau also do very well in the points department with the Rvarna getting a big points cut, we also see a number of weapons tweaks too, with increased damage and strength here and there across the range, perhaps pointing at any future upcoming changes in a new book on the horizon. They killed my DKOK, thanks a lot after buying a Gorgon. Ill have to use my converted tech priest as a Warpsmith I guess. He might be an Elite or an HQ (listed differently in the points values vs his datasheet), but either way hes clearly worth taking. Nice that it is cheaper, but otherwise /shrug. They also get the Termite added as a transport option, which also gives them an aggressive high strength close combat unit in the form of the drill itself! Since Veterans have a real use case at the moment, this seems honestly fantastic. Look, theres atonof content to cover here and weve barely scratched the surface. 11 named characters, most of which youve never heard of cover the above 5 chapters + the Salamanders. In the meantime, head over to the Forge World website and pick up some .

Today we see the new Imperial Armour Compendium up for pre order from Forge World! In contrast to the previous Imperial Armour Index volumes, this book is hardback too so will not only match the rest of your 9th Edition Codex collection, but also last a little longer in better condition! Kind of everything else. 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. Realistically, though theyre cheap you probably still want Leman Russes over them, since they get double the shots most of the time and can take Orders.

The Adeptus Mechanicus get updated profiles for the Secutarii with rules keying off the new Titan Legion keyword that has been added for Titans. The Sentinel has historically been the better unit, but the Stalker is nowso cheap that I actually might give it the nod as the superior option just as a throwaway push unit. Being able to drop in a caster from this discipline without having to use an HQ slot on a Warlock is something that can plausibly come up. Nice of you to share! Venatari Custodians[ CORE]: Woo buddy, am I excited. Our latest podcast is now live with two fantastic interviews (post on the website appearing shortly) and we have filmed the first part of our first battle for our Crusade campaign! First up is the Martial Legacy special rule. Theyre still not amazing they dropped from being toughness 9 down to toughness 8, though picked up a bit of improvement in their guns. Also, if you really want something dead in melee you can choose to swap out Smite forWitch Strike and just absolutely go to town on them. The Hades Breaching Drill can also finally carry Combat Engineers too, something that was overlooked in the previous index. Finally, for winners, theKill Tank looks surprisingly pushed at its new price, coming down 100pts for the bursta cannon build and a mighty 155 for the giga-shoota build. Just like with their Imperial counterparts, we see updated profiles for every variant of Imperial Knight, giving the Chaos Knights access to a large pool of different chassis, these have also been tweaked in regards to points values in line with the Imperial versions! As a bonus, leviathans can now take nipple volkite, rather than just heavy flamers. The Tarantula Battery also makes the move to a Fortification slot, making taking 3 units of these very tempting for some objective defence! All the titans are losers (except the warhound). You have to agree that is a massive amount of profiles available in the book!

Just check out the contents page below! Yep! Our two favorite dreads have decided to take a little break from carrying marine lists. An all around good time here, and a genuinely nasty wrecking ball for Tyranid players. The Imperial Armour books have also featured a few less well known successor chapters over the years, and Imperial Armour Compendium features suggested chapter tactics to best represent the way they fight I love this and gives players a framework towards designing their chapter to best fit the lore and narrative of the army as reflected in Warhammer 40k literature! The big fliers all get slammed to BS4+ without much changes in their prices, and thats a pretty bad look for them. I think theyll kind of fight with each other for the same role, but both have their advantages. Atomantic Shielding matches the contemptor, so only a 5+ invulnerable save rather than 4+, combining for an overall substantial drop in durability. 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. 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. Likewise their Dreadnoughts also get the same damage reducing abilities to bring them inline! Hecaton Aiakos is the clear winner here. Well be following up further on some factions over the next few weeks, so make sure you keep an eye out for those if youve got a particular set of units in mind. Credit: That Gobbo.

The Red Scorpions, Minotaurs, Blood Ravens, Astral Claws and Carcharodons are all represented here along with characters including Chapter Masters for you to lead your forces with. Brayarth Ashmantle keeps his strength 8, but drops from toughness 9 all the way to toughness 7. Any weapons that Forgeworld doesnt currently make in 28mm are gone, so goodbye to reaver chainfists and carapace weapons that arent the apocalypse missile launcher and warlord carapace weapons that arent apocalypse launchers or laser blasters. The Grey Knights also get a couple of updated profiles with a renamed Land Raider Banisher, getting a small points discount and a Grey Knight specific Thunderhawk getting a massive discount in line with the new profile elsewhere in the book. RIP. The premium it pays for having built-in deep strike is massively lower than it used to be, and being able to deploy from the webway removes the worry about it getting punked straight off the board. How many primaris can it transport? Really like the changes so far! This works similarly to the Dreadclaw, but can carry up to 20 INFANTRY models instead, and mounts the equivalent of 10 missile launchers for some reason. Chaos Daemons get some welcome points adjustments, no longer have we got to have points values tied to the Gods holy numbers! Thats especially true because. The Kharybdis Assault Clawmight be for you. Death Rider Command Squadrons and Commanders have also survived, with the Death Rider Squadron also still existing, and with improved rules too! All of them can outflank, too even better. To start with, its bumped up to 30 wounds. The book itself is split into 4 sections broadly following the split of the old Imperial Armour Indexes Forces of the Adeptus Astartes, Forces of the Imperium, Forces of Chaos and Forces of Xenos. Last for this section, theTaunar almost certainly works out as a loser. Next up, Im a bit more tentative on this but Ithink Shadow Spectres end up more attractive as a general pick than they used to be. 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. The Dreadnoughts really eat shit here. 13 - War Machines of the Lost and the Damned, Imperial Armour - Apocalypse I (Second Edition), https://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Imperial_Armour_Compendium&oldid=487737, Datasheet entries for two new Factions bespoke to this book . 2 - Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition, War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes (Second Edition), Vol. Thats it. 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. which get a few tweaks but dont change massively. On the whole, the Kytan is better as a unit, but still worse than it was in 8th edition because its a Lord of War and in 9th edition those are terrible if they cant be your Supreme Commander. The big greater daemon models are still neat, but you arent really going to field them. Loyalist Knight Atrapos. 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.

As a bonus, he doesnt have Martial Legacy, so wont be costing you a CP to field. TheMagaeraandStyrixboth get a boost, with their siege claws gaining a sweep attack thats straight up better than stomping feet, being flat damage three and otherwise identical. 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. Thunderers go down quite a bit in points, but lose Grinding Advance. While not as inexpensive as it was at the end of 8th, if you can afford the 3 CP for a superheavy auxiliary detachment its totally usable.
