changes for us in new edition (list)

[Sword Brother Adelard]

It clearly says "your command phase"

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Black Templars will be my first 9th edition army so I’m following this discussion. :D

[Brother Kraskor]

The Chaplain datasheet from Indomitus recites litanies in your Command phase, rather than at the start of the battle round. If all chaplains get this change, this is a big bummer for us: we can't use Litany of Divine Protection during the enemy's first turn when we go second anymore, yet we also still can't use litanies on units coming out of transports or deep strike. It's the worst of both worlds.

 

That is a bummer! Just a straight-up nerf.

[Marshal Arthur]

On the bright side it means we have a little more control over our more aggressive litanies. It was rarely worth it to use some of the melee litanies as the other player would know what you were doing at the start of the round.

[Medjugorje]

Maybe we can hide them or we have to come from strategic reserves. But if its too important to play them in first round and we have no place to hide them --> take the aurelian shroud. 

 

I think in 9th edition in general its okay 

1. If the enemy starts we have to take our most important units into strategic reserves (its important to have something which is more dangerous in this situation to be destroyed from the enemies view. 

2. If we have first round - there is no "seize initiative" so we can place them. 

But surely - its not a no-brainer anymore.

For the missions in the rulebook, you don't know until you're going first or second until after you deploy, which adds some wrinkles to deciding whether to put things in reserves.

I feel like this is a similar discussion to the 9th Ed thread. Unless someone can give me a reason why they shouldn't be merged I shall do so.

you are absolutely correct. we have to stop this discussion here. 

 

Please: just stick up rule changes in here and how they can/could effect us. So I will put that into first post. I will update this every day. 

 

Everything then could be discussed in the 9th edtion ROOM !

I may be late to the party after this but in the core rules the command phase is the first part of the battle and BOTH players take that turn simultaneously

[Medjugorje]

I thought so too but in the rules its clear: "your command phase".

 

Please: use the "9th edition room" thread to discuss this

[Medjugorje]

just updated the list.
