Assault Squads

  • Still not Troop Choices
  • If Assault Squads remove their jump packs, they get a rhino, or drop pod for free!
  • No discount for Razorbacks for Assault marines, in fact it isn’t even an option to take it as a transport, have to use a heavy slot to get a razorback for assault marines.
  • Squad can take 2 Special Weapons and a Combi Weapon, regardless of squad size of 5 or 10.

General Squad Options

  • Death company – 5 minimum, 15 maximum
  • No restriction on how many units of Death Company you can take.
  • Tactical Sergeants can dual wield pistols(?)
  • Devastators can take Flakk missiles for normal upgrade points
  • Honor Guard is basically Command Squads now, that can take jump packs and special weapons per model
  • Terminators get Land Raiders as Dedicated Transports
  • No terminator Command Squad
  • 8 Fast Attack Choices – Three are bikes, 1 speeder, Rhino, Razorback, Drop Pods, Assault Squad

Reconfirmed that there is no force manipulation at all in the codex
