The Space Marine half of Armageddon is getting easier to judge now. Players can finally see how these models work.
However, this download stays focused on the box contents. The wider faction pack comes later.
Heavy Bolters, Jump Veterans, and Fast Land Speeders Get Rules
The downloadable datasheets cover the Space Marine units from Warhammer 40,000: Armageddon, matching the miniatures in the box. That means players can start theorycrafting before preorders open, which always helps during an edition launch. Vanguard Veterans look properly dangerous again with 2 Damage master-crafted power swords. Meanwhile, heavy bolter Eradicators gain Blast 1 against targets that are not Vehicles or Monsters, making them excellent Ork-mulchers. Land Speeders also get shoot-and-scoot tricks, keeping their classic harassment role alive. Overall, this makes the Marine side feel aggressive, mobile, and properly ready for Armageddon.
