Stormraven’s Updated 9th Edition Datasheet SPOTTED
This first pic here is super blurry, but from what we can tell, the base statline hasn’t changed at all.
Now let’s talk about what did change.
- Twin Multi-Melta got +2 shots
- Plasma Cannons now 2 damage base and 3 damage overcharged
For the weapon that has us scratching our head, the Hurricane Bolter is just a bunch of regular Bolters taped together. However, the weapon is still only 24″ range even though we’ve seen the regular Bolter listed as 30″ in other places. It’s also a bit surprising to see the Heavy Bolter get its damage doubled (now doing 2) while the Assault Cannon is staying the same… Definitely some strange tweaks although the overall damage output on the Gunship has gone up a decent amount.
