sturguard Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hey folks, I was wondering if any of you know of the rules changes in the latest SM codex regarding Primaris and what we might see. I am modelling a few select minis and just wanted to know if any of the lords/lieutenants/etc can equip radically different weapons? Also, what is the change to drop pods that everyone is talking about? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorin Helm-splitter Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Not really any major changes to primaris loadouts. Main change is intercessors can take hand flamers and thunder hammers. New dark angel may allow for a bolt carbine power fist build for primaris captains. Drop pods and the embarked are exempt from the tactical reserve rule in matched play (they can drop turn one).

sturguard Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 So all drop pods can drop turn 1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 So all drop pods can drop turn 1?I believe that's how it reads. Primaris still can't get in Drop Pods though. I guess the harnesses won't fit and no one has gotten around to installing an expander and lowering the seat tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gherrick Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) But turn 1 reserves are still limited to your own deployment zone? Or is that relaxed for drop pods as well? Never mind, that is also part of the matched play rule. Edited January 5, 2020 by Gherrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturguard Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 So would we be able to utilize those new drop pod rules or do we need to wait for our own codex to come out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gederas Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 And it's only Drop Pods as in the Drop Pod unit that's printed in the codex. Deathstorm Drop Pods and Dreadnought Drop Pods do not get that rule (because GW either forgot or decided that they shouldn't get it?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sturguard Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Thank you. So what were the overall changes to the SM codex that made it so good? It looks like the bolt rifles got an extra shot on all of them, it also looks like most of the primaris got an extra wound and an extra attack. Other changes?

Wolf Guard Dan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Don’t forget Litanies and successor tactics. Some of the best players utilize them the best. centurions are a very good unit for marines right now. Which is unfortunate because they make my eyes bleed.
