Gladius is also confirmed at 3 DP

If they want to balance the game they will have to make detachments like gladius, storm lance , beastslayer 3DP to avoid powerful combos with the new 1 DP detachments, and also encourage players to use the new 1DP detachments in 1000 points

I guess the detachments that provide an army wide solid buff will be 3 points, because the new ones focus on a specific unit and thats it. I believe every army will have at least one 3 DP detachment (their most go to one)

Im the QnA video Eddie said he likes playing spacewolves and most of their codex detachments will be 2 points ( so at least one is gonna be 3 points) so i guess beastslayer will be 3 and the bold and hunter will be 2 . Maybe they will make a 3 points the most used detachment for every army

Judging by librarius total 5 enhancements instead of strats looks like those 1 point detachments will mostly be half the old detachments (2 enhancements instead of 4 and 3 strats instead of 6) so 2 of them will make you an old detachment

The counter charge rule becomes worse every time is introduced, the champions of fenris was one of the worst grotmas detachments , then came the 2 CP strat in saga of the bold and now the detachment with no actual buff , no one is gonna have the CP to use that detachment rule, they should have made tha first part of heroic intervention free and the second part 1CP when using this detachment. The other 2 detachments look fun but nowhere close to the old ones . For example saga of the greatwolf looks alot better than 2 or 3 of those detachments combined. I mostly play incursion games and i am worried that if the old detachments cost 2 points none is gonna play the new ones ( except super friendly games) in incursion

So the counter charge detachment rule comes in effect only if i want to play heroic intervention more than once and have 2 or more CP to spend only on heroic intervention. That doesnt look playable. None will pick this detachment outside of maybe super friendly games because you dont get an actual detachment bonus. I mostly play 1000 incursion games. These new detachments look to be designed as 1 point detachments to pick in addition to your old probably 2 point detachments. If that is the case ( we dont have the full rules for army organization yet) none will pick 2 of those one point detachments over an old 2 point detachment ( if they are 2 points in the first place but i assume they would be otherwise if they are 3 points the old detachments will be unplayable in incursion. Just some of my thoughts

One more combo i saw with beastslayer is use the strat to put a ven dread in strategic reserves turn one and then arrive next to your other strategic reserve units ( you can put many of them in beastslayer detachment) and have + 1 to charge rolls for them ( 8" charge) .

Saga Of Beastslayer 70 wolfpriest 85 wolfpriest ( relic to join wulfen squad) 180 10xwulfen with hammers (death totems) 180 6xheadtakers (6xshields) 100 3xthunderwolves (3xshields) 100 3xthunderwolves (3xshields) 85 3xeliminators ( 2xlasfusil,1xcarbine) 85 3xeliminators (2xlasfusil,1xcarbine) 100 3xEradicators (1x multimelta) 15 spare points ( in case something gets more expensive with the new points pdf) Eliminators shoot and hide guarding objectives on my side. Eradicators go in reserve. Wolf priests join wulfen and head takers and storm the middle with the thunderwolves. Headtakers and wulfen have 4+ inv and +1 to wound from priests and they get one model back every command phase. Thunderwolves can get +1 to wound from stratagem. Everybody gets lethal hits against big targets from the detachment rule ( including eradicators and eliminators). A lot of scary stuff to deal in 1000 pts

So 3 new detachments, the saga of the bold is the hero hammer COR successor , the beastslayer looks cool with army wide lethal hits the saga of the hunter is still a mystery

Thats a nice detachment rule. You get the weak version ( reroll 1H or 1W or 1D )for free on character units and when you do the 3/4 deeds you get the enhanced version reroll 1H and 1W and 1D for all units of yor army... looks strong because its for range and melee and also as it is written it takes effect immediately ( the deeds are achieved by character units now not models so it makes it easier to achieve)

Looks like bjorn doesnt take a twin lascannon anymore because there isnt one in the box

I hope they drop the preview on Sunday...its about time :)

Probably killteam related the one with the tyrannids and servitors

We will probably know next Monday, when they will most likely reveal the new combat patrol (we are definitely getting one) plus whatever is left for our range if any :) (scouts - upgrade sprue) I believe this Sunday they will announce T-sons and wolf box for preorder.
