More 9th Edition Primaris 40k Indomitus Rules CONFIRMED!
Along with the face-off we got official pics of stats sheets of the participants. With that in mind lets take a look at the Space Marines side.
Assault Intercessor Squad
The Assault Intercessors look like an answered prayer to assault armies like Blood Angels and White Scars. Each model in the unit has a chainsword at -1ap which is great, but the fact that these guys are a Troops choice makes them extra appealing. By turn three, White Scars Assault Intercessors will be swinging for two damage a pop while the BA version will be getting an additional attack at +1 to wound.
Outrider Squad
Up next, there are the Outriders which in essence, are just S4 -1AP damage batteries. These guys are fast at a max of 20″ per movement phase. However, if you choose not to advance and want to charge, you’ll be getting +2 Attacks to each model. On a regular Outrider model, that’ll be six attacks at S4 -1Ap 1 Damage.
Bladeguard Veteran Squad
Looking at the Bladeguard Veterans, these guys are coming with storm shields and power swords to get down and dirty in close combat. Take a look at the change to the storm shield rules. Instead of a 3++ invuln, it’s +1 Armor Save and a 4++ invuln.
Win The Catachan Colonel: Enter Now
The Bladeguard Ancient is a new type of banner-bearer with an updated Banner rule. You still roll a 4+ after a model dies to see if they fight. However, you only do it AFTER the enemy is done attacking that unit within the banner’s range. That way, there’s no interruption in the shooting/fight phase to let a dude roll a 4+, creating weird math subtracting attacks from the opponent’s unit because the guy that attacked out of sequence killed a dude…You see how convoluted that could get.
In addition, the Bladeguard Ancient will REALLY be a nice bonus to the Bladeguard Veterans.
Primaris Captain
This Captain is probably going to be a big hit. His biggest weakness is the lack of mobility. However, with a couple of these guys in your ranks, you’ll have a solid speedbump unit that your opponents will be forced to dedicate resources to. He’s only T4 but with the newly redesigned shield rules, he’ll have a 2+/4++ FNP vs. Mortal Wounds and a 4+ Inv from the Iron Halo. Plus, with six attacks going into the first round of combat, he’s capable of soloing a whole unit of Intercessors by himself.
Judiciar
On the Judiciar, we can see the updated Absolver Bolt Pistol profile once again. As a quick synopsis for this guy, he looks like the Loyalist equivalent to the Master of Executions. All of his rules are centered around doing damage in combat, getting a better Save in combat, and picking out an enemy unit forcing them to fight last.
He’s a solid dude to seed into your force although once again, his big weakness is mobility.
Which of the face-off Marines are you most excited about? Are you more excited for other units? Or are you just waiting for your army’s chance to shine in the 9th edition?
