The 2 hits on a 6 was deemed a mistake in reading the blurry image. It is 1 extra hit. Getting cumulative -3AP from turn 3 is pretty good on these new units with Astartes Chainswords. Although I agree, not mind blowing. They seem to have made most of the Chapter Tactics a lot more middling than they were before. Sallies and Iron Hands getting dialled back. I had previously stated that I would have liked GW to just give us Flesh Tearers an option of Chain Axes at the same +1S, -1AP for 1pt per model that Khorne Marines have. Gets us wounding Marine Equivalents on 2s. I don't hold out any hope for Primaris Sanguinary Guard yet, but I am pretty sure that these October releases will see us get access to those Death Company Assault Intercesor options we were promised in the WarhammerTV live, just like Deathwatch should get the Indomitus units and the rest of the Phobos ones they are missing. Are you certain that's true? So far, the latest FAQ states that they can't stack their AP with the Assault Doctrine and the overview of the codex leak doesn't seem to change that... Best quality i could find from the video. I read "On an unmodified wound roll of 6, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1. This is cumulative with the bonus from the Assault Doctrine if it is active for your army". While that's awesome, the FT tactic is still weak overall. Compare 2 additional (200% more) hits on a 6 that fists get, with the -1 AP (16% more failed saves) on a 6, which all marines get for free on T3 anyway. FT's should be a flat -1AP in combat. Still, excited for the changes.

Death Company are a nuclear threat anyway. They are there to help you win the game in deployment. A max size unit is still an important tool. They should not really be getting shot before they get to do their work anyway.

Another day of waiting for 9th for me.

Would be nice not having to take Scouts. That's 330pts of more mobile combat units.

Jump Pack, Thunder Hammer, Inferno Pistol

I will if the 'dex doesn't suck. I don't like Blood Angels anyway. So Flesh Tearers was an ironically good choice for me back in 2010

Lemartes is rubbish this edition. Just take the Elite Chaplain for cheaper.

He is to me. I can reconcile both fluff pieces as the same character. I just disregard Juan Diaz' chubby faced sculpt.

In the UK I always use Wayland for new releases, ebay for bitz orders and GW direct for direct only stuff.

Why you would ever want to paint yellow over anything other than a white sprayed on undercoat is beyond me.

Because I can proxy my PH WEaters now that the new SM 'dex negates my old traits list :)
