About this deal

Cheap though accessing them is, really only two of these matter – you aren’t going to put guard psykers in your list if what you want is psychic firepower, certainly not now that Inquisitors exist. Psychic Barrier and Nightshroud are both good stuff though – if you’re bringing Bullgryn or a Super Heavy you want these in your list, and even if you just have Tank Commanders or Pask being able to access them via a 35pt elite slot is such a low cost (while giving you a deny in your castle) that it’s frequently worth it. Fire on My Position – 3CP: When a unit with a Voxcaster is wiped out, deal d3 MWs to each enemy unit within 3″ on a 4+. This should cost 1CP, early 8th was a trip. D+

We’ve already talked about a lot of warlord traits from the various regiments, but there are some generic ones too. Two of them are even pretty good!Vostroyan: Repel the Enemy! – You can fire your weapons into units that are within Engagement Range, regardless of their type, but you have to shoot at a unit within Engagement Range. Catachan: Burn Them Out! –Re-roll the number of shots with flamers and heavy flamers. Also, units hit by these weapons don’t get the benefit of cover to their saves.

What’s interesting here is that it specifies the model in question – it’s not quite clear from the text how this interacts with the various bodyguard mechanics found throughout the game – Is it possible to make a save for a unit, take a ward save to negate the wound allocated to it, and then roll a dice to allocate it instead to a nearby bodyguard who in term may have the opportunity to roll a ward save? We suspect that this will need to be resolved by an FAQ, but overall it’s a significantly better situation than in 2nd edition, which got more complicated as more FAQs were released. Returning Slain Models Stratagem – Vicious Traps – 1CP: After an enemy charges a CATACHAN unit wholly on or within a terrain feature, deal d3 MWs to the charging unit on a 4+. You might be thinking that’s enough faction traits but you’d be very wrong. In the original Guard codex, Tempestus Scions had their own regimental doctrine, stratagem, and warlord trait that you could get for taking a dedicated detachment of them, but Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good has blown that wide open with a bunch of new rules for MILITARUM TEMPESTUS detachments (anywhere every unit is either MILITARUM TEMPESTUS or covered by Advisors and Auxilla).James: For me, the points updates and revision to the Bring it Down (BID) and Abhor the Witch (Abhor) secondaries. Acrylic model paints : colors depend entirely on your preferences. Vallejo and Formula P3 are stalwart alternatives to Games Workshop. The HQ slot is stuffed full of good options. Note that Marbo isn’t in the core book, but has a separate datasheet that comes with his model. Every single one of these has turned up on a tournament table in 8th edition, with the possible exception of Lord Commissars which tend to be left aside in favor of their cheaper juniors in the Elites slot. Looking at the rest, then, we have: Colonel ‘Iron Hand’ Straken (NC, Catachan) The change will also make things more fun. The second player’s last turn could often prove to be an underwhelming affair due to the limited ability they had to score the primary objective in battle round 5. Games that go down to the wire are often the most enjoyable, so anything that makes those final turns go out with a bang rather than a whimper is a win in my book. It will also mean that fewer games will hit a forgone conclusion earlier in the battle, too. Terrain and scenery: Technically optional, if you’re okay with fighting skirmishes on bland, flat, barren landscapes. Adding barricades, trees, ruins, and other items is the best way to avoid that. There are plenty of companies that sell pre-made kits, including Games Workshop, Gamemat.eu, The War Store, and Secret Weapon Miniatures.
