While they can’t one-shot a Knight, the Rhino/Razorback and Vindicator do have some rules updates on the way for 9th Edition 40k.
Some old firstborn tanks have some minor changes on the way. This is a more focused look at the broader list of changes we’ve seen so far. If you haven’t looked at them yet, we’ve got it all here for you.
- The Primaris Impulsor
- Redemptor Dreadnought
- Vanguard Veteran Squad
- Space Marine Company Command
- Space Marine Terminators
- Hellblaster Squads
- Intercessor Squads
- Scout Squads
- Incursor Squads
- Ironclad Dreadnought
- Razorback/Rhino
- Devastators
New 9th Ed. Rhino & Vindicator Datasheets Spotted
Starting with the Rhino/Razorback we saw earlier:
The basic profiles of both units didn’t change at all. Actually, the only thing that did change was that the Hunter-Killer Missile went up to Strength 10. Technically the Heavy Bolter changed too but we’ve seen the updated profiles in the past on other units.
Now back to the Hunter-Killer… It makes sense for this thing to pack a serious punch. If you’re paying points for a one-shot weapon, it needs to be brutal. Another interesting point to make is that only half of the wargear options for these units are listed.
Also, something to note, we’re not sure if GW would take away other wargear options like the Twin Assault Cannons, Las/Plasma gun, etc., or if they are just simply showing the wargear profiles of options that only come in the box.
Vindicator Datasheet Updates
From Vanger on Bolter and Chainsword, they posted up the updated datasheet on the Vindicator. Just like the Rhino/Razorback the only thing that’s really changed is the HK missile going up to Strength 10.
The Hobby Products & Tools We Swear By
After seeing these changes, what’s your overall idea on all the Space Marine changes that are on the way? Do Hunter-Killer missiles need a higher AP as well?
