New Imperial Guard Attilan Rough Riders and Lord Solar rules have been leaked with full profiles- here’s what the new units can do!
It’s only been a few weeks since we saw the models revealed, but with the codex on the way soon, you know the internet is going to do its magic and grab some pictures of the rules! We’ll also take a look at the rules GW released for both units to see how close they are.
These are pretty clear pictures, so if they are fake, the person did quite a good job. However, even with leaks of direct pictures, don’t take anything for 100% true until GW actually confirms them!
New Imperial Guard Attilan Rough Riders Rules Leaks!
These leaks come from Reddit.
The new Attilan rough riders have WS3, which is nice, two wounds, 4S/T, two attacks, and a 4+ save. So, they don’t have a ton of survivability, but with a 12″ move, hopefully, they will be able to get there before being shot off the board!
Then, when they charge, they get +2 Strength, and when you add that to a melta tip, they will be getting Strength 8 at that point! Meaning they will hit on 3’s and wound on 2’s versus all T4 models.
You need more than just a sharp stick to face foul xenos war-beasts – fortunately, these lances pack a deadly explosive payload. Employing reckless battlefield techniques refined by the horsemasters of Attila, the hunting lances wielded by Rough Riders can deliver your choice of an infantry-shredding frag tip or vehicle-busting melta tip.
This looks identical to Warhammer Community, which bodes well for the rest of these rules being real.
Lord Solar Leontus Rules Leaks
He has a pretty impressive statline, and with S6, eight wounds (plus a 4+ invuln save and halves all damage incoming), six attacks, and 12″ movement, he should be able to survive and hit hard!
Allowing a core unit (like the rough riders) to reroll a hit and wound of one is really strong. Then, you can pick any unit to reroll ones, not just core, but if they are core, they also get the reroll on the wound as well.
Lastly, he can issue up to three orders which is also awesome.
Unorthodox use of the tarot readers of The Collegiate Astrolex gives Leontus the ability to change one of his army’s secondary objectives or Agendas on the cusp of battle, reacting to his foe’s plans. Or if he’s feeling secure in his tactical choices, he can proceed with steely confidence and gain an additional Command point in the first Command phase.
This also looks identical to Warhammer Community, which bodes well for the rest of these rules being real.
