Even better, it applies to characters too, increasing the effectiveness of your slam Captains, Chaplains, etc. Both the Space Marine players on the winning teams at the Gladiator Gaming Teams Event in November 2020 utilised units of them, one big block in a White Scars army and a smaller set of 3 in Iron Hands, which shows promising signs of life – they’re no longer something you’d build an entire army around, but in the right circumstance they still have something to offer. Whether they’re regular power-armoured guys, Primaris, or Phobos depends on the exact list design and player preference, and even a cheap backline Captain can be pretty fearsome in melee as a linebacker unit, if given a power fist or one of the relic weapons like the Teeth of Terra or the Burning Blade. They’re a bit better at melee then basic Intercessors, but they don’t have access to power fists or thunder hammers on their Sergeants. Mostly though, consider one as a good backup to a melee force. Four key Marine deployment abilities have been codified in the front of the book, so that rather than each datasheet having to spell it out they can instead refer back here. Primaris Chaplain. Just holding mid is very possible for Marines, especially since you can deploy scouting units out into the mid zone to ensure you get it turn one; even better on maps where there’s a mid-table objective that you want to hold anyway. We leverage cloud and hybrid datacenters, giving you the speed and security of nearby VPN services, and the ability to leverage services provided in a remote location. It can only transport smaller ones – 9 wounds or fewer – but you can roll in a Contemptor or something out of the pod if you really want one to deep strike. In total there are 7 different datasheets you can pick from, each of which is slightly different. If one of the shields takes damage but isn’t destroyed, it’ll regenerate at the beginning of your command phase, which is cute but is unlikely to regularly happen in practice as most decent alpha strikes will go through both of the shields. The Reaper is a lot in terms of anti-infantry, packing a massive 40 shots when it gets its bolters into rapid fire range, but like with the Hailstrike you really feel the lack of re-rolls when doing that, and the price tag here is pretty steep. With 18 wounds it’s a little harder to take off the board than you might expect, and it has a hell of a lot of Gun – if you want to get this down from the shelf again you might be pleasantly surprised. All Dreadnoughts (except the Leviathan and Deredeo) are also CORE, which is a great benefit to them. Imperial Fists Cataphractii Terminator Squad. In 9th this is more expensive and less powerful, but there’s a great alternative in the form of the slash Captain – still taking the storm shield, but carrying just a basic chainsword to swap for the Teeth of Terra relic, unlocking bonus attacks and a very competitive melee weapon for a minimal cost. For a mere 70pts the Chapter Champion is death on legs – the main strike against him is the need to actually get him to combat, though he’s an excellent pick for a linebacker type unit in a footslogging castle. The Department of English offers over 200 courses for undergraduate- and graduate-level students. Search the world's information, including webpages, images, videos and more. It’s nice to see that Space Marines are not only post-human but also post-body shaming as they allow their largest brothers to fly. By far the most common weapon of the old version – the storm cannon – also reduces in potency, from the old 10 shot profile to 8 shots, and -1 AP instead of -2, though it does gain 36″ range from the old 24″. Access to up to 18 powers offers huge flexibility, and while you normally have to pick all your powers from the same lore the Tome of Malcador allows you to pick a power from any lore you have access to – so if you really want a cross-lore Librarian you can have one. They no longer perform the admirable job of being a tax unit for Forge World Relic options, but as warm bodies to stand about on a point, they’re fab. Vanguard have taken a huge lift in this codex and they are all over top lists. Sasha is the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. A lot of their old FLY interactions have gone, and instead they are strictly AIRCRAFT hunters – which in 9th isn’t so much of a big deal, with a lot fewer of those around. The Judiciar forgot to bring one of his shoulderpads to battle, but that’s ok, because he did remember his magic hourglass and skull face. Also a Chapter Master has an exemption that lets you take him and a Captain, so you can have your SLAM MASTER cake and eat your captain aura too. They also carry heavy bolt pistols, and the sergeant can if he wishes take a neo-volkite pistol too. Bolter Discipline is the intended solution to that. Imperial Fists Astraeus Super-heavy Tank. DA have had that ‘can only lose one model to Morale’ thing absolutely forever. The Phobos traits are largely cool rather than optimal, but there’s definitely fun things you can do with them, especially if you’ve gone in hard with Phobos units. A little bonus for Intercessors that separates them from Tactical Marines is the Rapid Fire stratagem, which is pricey at 2CP but allows a unit to double shoot. This extra support can make them tougher and shootier than their Tactical equivalents even if they’re paying a couple of points more for the privilege, and the extra Attack makes them more capable as a go-forward unit that can get in the mid board and scrap with light infantry. The Flesh is Weak: Iron Hands units gain a 6+ Feel No Pain, and models with a damage table count as having double the wounds remaining for the purposes of the damage table. Overall I think BA is slightly better, but this isn’t a bad tactic at all – it keeps the important ‘punch up’ part, the AP thing is at least ok. Normally it’s just for being at half range – so for example, your ordinary boltgun is Rapid Fire 1, and has a 24″ range, so if the model firing it is within 12″ of its target it can fire 2 shots instead of 1. It’s nice for the option to exist but with all that the Captain can offer, it’s hard to see what extra capability this gives. That’s a big deal, because it means that you can freely combine the abilities below with a powerful supplement and get the best of both worlds. This is a significant change from 8th, and an easy one to miss. They also benefit from the smaller boards, allowing them to use their mixed shooting and melee capability more effectively. Most of these replicate half of the main Chapters’ tactics and power-wise they range from “Meh” to “Decent” but there are a few stand-outs and combinations that work well. Exactly the same as a regular Drop Pod but bigger and can transport a Dreadnought. In the Reinforcements step of your Movement phase you can choose to set up such a unit anywhere on the table that is more than 9″ from any enemy models. The days of the old Mortis or “Rifledread” configurations are long over, and you are now restricted to what’s left in the plastic kits – which means one gun can be a twin lascannon, assault cannon, heavy plasma cannon, or multi-melta, and the other can be a big fist or a missile launcher. It only gets better when you point it at an INFANTRY model, though, since it always wounds on a 2+ and goes up to an impressive damage 4. There are literally dozens of possible combinations of wargear available. They get really silly in White Scars, where they can be damage 3 with the swords, but they’ve shown up in basically every Marine Chapter – they’re tough, cheap, solid at what they do, and can benefit from Transhuman Physiology to make themselves extremely unpleasant to shift. The Hailstrike is the cheapest of the bunch and aimed at clearing out enemy hordes, packing an onslaught cannon, twin ironhail stubber and two fragstorm launchers. Now here’s a unit that fucks. Ultramarines can get a lot out of regular bolt rifles as they are always able to rapid fire them even if on the move for a unit in their Chapter doctrine. They are quite pricey – the most expensive Troops choice – but like the Phobos Captain they have the Omni-scramblers rule, which means that units cannot deep strike within 12” of them. They are the baseline Phobos-armoured Troops, and like other Phobos units they’re able to infiltrate onto the board. Land Speeder Storms surprisingly gained the same Assault Vehicle rule as the Impulsor, which is nice. This sports a melta destroyer (essentially a three shot multi-melta), two S8 AP-3 D3 missiles and two krakstorm launchers. The Marine Codex itself has turbo-charged this even further. After years of being the second Troops choice in Marines, Scouts have now been unceremoniously dumped into the Elites slot, presumably to give Tactical Squads a little room to breathe and also to stop Marines having access to a truly cheap slot-filler choice. To open a menu item's submenu, press the space bar. Time to work hard and make things right , Good to see you back in an Arsenal shirt, @. This feels a bit like it was copy-pasted from the previous version without much thought as to how it works in 9th – previously that +1 strength would have been +2 thanks to the way weapon modifiers worked, but now it does literally nothing for how effective your melee Dreadnought is unless they’re somehow punching a Titan. Also, you’ll probably notice that a lot of the letter grades here are hovering around in the Bs and As – that reflects some much better stratagem design, with a lot more stuff which is at least situationally useful or ‘if your plan needs it’ instead of there being a few good stratagems and then a lot of space-filler. All units with this tactic can perform a Heroic Intervention. just over half the time) to 72% (nearly 3/4s of the time). Like many Primaris units the weapons list is “all of them” – it totes a fragstorm grenade launcher (who doesn’t), a heavy bolter, an incendium cannon, two ironhail heavy stubbers, and also an Invictor fist (Sx2 AP-3 damage 3). Probably sensibly, the 9th Edition codex sees the regular flavour of Repulsor move to Heavy Support from Dedicated Transport, in recognition of the fact that it has way, way too many guns to sit anywhere else. People who remember “Guilliman + 5 Stormravens” perhaps won’t be sad to see it go, but it’s a shame that all the Space Marine planes have ended up being just a bit too expensive for what they do. Boo hoo). If you’ve ever looked at 30k Breachers and thought they’d be great in 40k, well, here you go. There’s plausibly something to the Typhoon in a very strange skew build (perhaps packing Master Artisans) but in general these don’t quite make it, and if you just want the very cheapest zoomy objective/quarter grabber, the Land Speeder Storm massively trumps these. Additionally, they can pick one Battlefield Role after deployment; until the end of the game, your units can re-roll wound rolls of 1 against any enemy unit with that Battlefield Role. The venerable Tactical Squad has been around since the very first iteration of Space Marines, and for years they’ve been just kind of there. It also supercedes rules like Vex Teleport Homer in Custodes which normally let units deep strike closer than 9”. It’s also a bit weird to look at the Primaris Captain datasheet with all of its different loadouts and wonder why that exists but “Gravis Captain” has two completely separate datasheets for a simple weapon swap. It’s also a particularly notable downgrade in White Scars because previously their chapter tactic was absurd with them. This is the rare example of a relic gun which might actually be worthwhile – though probably still not. The Venerable gets an improved WS and BS of 2+ and a 6+ Feel No Pain, which is nice. An interesting new dimension in 9th is the Reiver Lieutenant, previously just a gear swap on the “Lieutenant in Phobos Armour” datasheet and now broken out as a unit in his own right.
