I agree pretty much with all the BT statements that have been made so far.
For one thing, if from what I hear LRCS OR LRs are going to get a seat reduction...you can say goodbye to your reliable armoured transport...with large squads capable of lasting untill the end of the game. Thats pretty much the only thing I'm pissed off about. |
Well, actually the humble LR is getting a
seat increase ( someone smart finally decided to junk that underused cappuccino/energy bar vending machine in the LR's trooper compartment )
I read through the preview copy of the SM 5th ed at a store.
Basically means LR's seat capacity has increased from 10 - 12 models ( or 5 - 6 termies )
which i definitely welcome as it finally allows termie ICs to accompany standard 5-man termie sqds.
A lil miffed they dint give the LRC & new LRR a corresponding increase from 16 - 18 seats, but thats all fine by me.
The key issues that
have to be updated for BT,BA,DA,SW,DH,WH thru FAQSs are the new updated PoMS & assault vehicle rules.
New PoMS- Allows 1 more main weaponry to be fired than would normally be allowed. And also at
different target. ( no more BS2, just BS4 all the way ) Therefore LR & variants moving at combat speed can shoot 2 weaps ( + all def weaps ) at different targets or 1 weap at cruising speed. (ie move 12" and shoot t-l asscans or godhammer lascannons etc )
New Assault Vehicle Rules - Old rules: Only models disembarking from front assault ramp can charge into CC on same turn. New rules: All models disembarking from any/all of the 3 access points can charge into CC on same turn.
PS: Chaos LRs too might need to be updated on the seats issue, unless gw's sticking to the story that pre-heresy LRs still retain the vending machine, LOL...
