  1. In the tank Aces section, wound rolls of 1-3 fail for cheap on T8 and T9 vehicles is of limited utility when most weapons of import are str8 and 9. Useful against lascannons darklances, and melee, but melta, blasters, and similar will be unaffected. Sounds powerful, but not as strong as it sounds. Ironically the Regiment trait where you can't be wounded on 2's may be more powerful

  2. Cadia STANDS!! glad the codex if finally here and loving the contents. Regards to the regiment artwork, the mordian guardsman is from the 8th codex although I believe the tallarn guardsman is new but who knows if that means new tallarn regiment down the line? Also each regiments rules are now a global pick on pg 60 so they dont only effect one regiment and is used across the whole army. ie Swift as the Wind is the old tallarn rule but can be applied to any regiment

  3. I can hear James' chanting already…

    Obvs not seen the book yet, but find the Regimental Doctrine part a massive let down. Nothing for the well known regiments, which even if there are subsequent expansions for each of them, is still a step back from how it was done in the space marines codex.
    Then just a list of rules and pick 2 which feels very flat. Personally, I liked how it was done in the T'au codex (I know Luke didn't like it 🙃) where it was at least a bit themed with the empire building. Could have done it in a similar way where you are perhaps building the history of your regiment which affects it's special rules.

  4. Such a beautiful cover on the new book. Can’t wait to see James add the new units. Disappointed though with the new Cadian troopers. I think the alt heads they recently introduced make them look a lot grittier.

  5. This book is over tuned but I'm not sure anything is OP. It seems spending over a year in development hell has cut all the fat possible from this book. I feel sorry for whoever got stuck with this for so long. Their suffering is evidenced in how many mechanic grabs from established codexes there are in this book.
