  • One of the Warlord Traits is FnP, another is a reroll ld bubble, and Fear.
  • Honor Guard and Command Squads are Elites choices now.
  • Rumors of a 3 Librarian Formation that let’s you harness warp charge on a 3+ and the lead libby can use any of the powers known by the other librarians.
  • No master of the forge, apparently, but you can take a servo harness for a techmarine and they have 2 wounds..
  • Iron Hands add +1 to FnP, which is bad ass.
  • Raven Guard lose Scout….lol. Gain Shrouded turn 1 and +1 to roll for Night Fight.

  • Emperor’s Champion always S6, AP2, now.
