- Tons of Space Marine rumors floating around.
- White Scars did not lose Hit and Run.
- The Demi Company looks quite good, gives you a Tactical Doctrine for free and retains ObSec. The Gladius Detachment is awesome, and gives you all of the Ultramarine Combat Doctrines to models in the detachment with Chapter Tactics.
- One of the Warlord Traits allows you to every turn choose a unit within 12″ and give them Rending.
- Tigurius comes with the Rending Warlord Trait. Wow.
- Devastators can apparently pay 5pts to get a once per game reroll to hit with their Cherub baby model.
- Tank Formations supposedly require all 3 tanks to be alive but are pretty crazy. The Predators get Tank and Monster Hunter, Stalkers get Ignore Cover making them pretty deadly, and Vindicators get a combined shot, Apocalyptic Blase, Ignores Cover shot….wow!
- Lysander, Kantor, Vulkan, all get the FnP trait, poor Shrike gets Fear, Khan has the reroll ld bubble. Telion comes with the rending trait which is awesome, and means you can take a true Scout Army, now.
- AA formaiton of 2 Stalkers and 1 Hunter, can get improved BS. Meh.
- 1st Company formation gives preferred enemy to a single enemy unit, -2ld to enemy units in range of 3+ units from the formation.
- Strike Force Ultra lets you reserve the entire formaiton, they all start rolling reserve rolls on turn 1. Get +1 shot or attack the turn the enter the game or exit a transport vehicle.
- Chaplain formation has a 6+ Zealot bubble.
- Scout Formation…not so hot. Stealth they move, precision shots turn 1.
- Assault Cents are now strength 10! Woah.
- Dreads have 4 attacks.
- Vanguard Vets actually look playable now, wow! 5pt Power Weapons, reroll the charge roll, no disordered charges…dang, they might actually see some table-time.
