A storied and stalwart warrior protected by a sacred suit of Tactical Dreadnought armour, this Captain is a resilient commander who excels at leading Terminator strike forces deep into enemy lines. Librarian in Terminator Armour The Chaos Space Marines beseech the gods for aid through Dark Pacts, bartering their very souls for the edge they need over their loyalist nemeses. Unbreakable Lines is super strong, as it can keep your unit alive for way longer! Then, you can shoot in your opponent’s shooting phase, so some pretty awesome stratagems overall. Rapid Regeneration is huge as, most of the time will give you a 5+ FNP (when in Synapse range), for only 1 CP. They have the ability to fight after death, but unlike some of the other chapters, you have to roll for each model. Crusader’s Wrath is super strong if the proper vow is on, and lastly, pretty much every chapter gets Armour of Contempt.

While this is a decent change to the rule, we’re not sure it’s a big enough change to really NERF them, as you can still get re-rolls for basically everything anyways. Your Eradicators will love how their Strength 10 melta rifles do a much better job of boring holes in Toughness 10 tanks, while Infernus Marines do an even better job of barbecuing Tyranids and Orks with Strength 6 pyreblasters.

If you are charged with some deadly units, the Kaptaris Stance is the way to go! If you need to cut through hordes, Dacatari is perfect, and lastly, if you need to kill big stuff, Rendax is excellent. This is nice because it’s pretty simple, and each has a specific use. Before the main hive fleet force lands, vanguard organisms like Von Ryan’s Leapers often embed themselves on the hive fleet’s target planet. These ambush-hunters lie in wait, avoiding detection until they can do as much damage as possible. Termagants You can use them for a lot of things, but now, you want to roll high for everything (including LD now), so the rolls of one may have less of a place in 10th Edition than before…

The Blood Angels, for example, bring along the dreaded Death Company , led by the seraphic Commander Dante for a maelstrom of bloody close combat. But first, a major update – the Oath of Moment army rule is changing. You still select one unit each turn to be your target, but now you only reroll Hit rolls against them, instead of Hits and Wounds. This will mean Space Marine players need to choose their target more carefully, though there are new and updated skills across the faction that bring more opportunities to re-roll Wound rolls.They will be divided into four different bundles (Space Marines, Xenos, Chaos, Imperial), with the first including all the Space Marines cards for chapters they released rules for, along with the main Space Marines cards.

The new Space Marines 10th Edition detachments, enhancements, and stratagems rules come from Warhammer Community. We’ll start with the Blood Angels, but there are five chapters this time around, and we’ll cover all of them! The Winged Tyranid Prime is a hideous alpha-beast that combines strength with agility, swooping above the battlefield and identifying targets to descend upon and tear apart with razor-sharp talons. Neurotyrant So, there are only three doctrines, but if you notice, it says you can select one, meaning you don’t have even choose one on a turn where it won’t help much. However, after you’ve selected one, that’s it for the whole game. Space Marines StratagemsTheir Detachment rule, Close-range Eradication, grants the Assault keyword to all weapons, letting units Advance without losing their ability to shoot. Once they get close enough, that extra pip of Strength puts many weapons over critical thresholds for damage. This is pretty wild as it’s army-wide, and if you can run up some units to take those objectives, this will be a massive buff for your army and a big NERF for the enemy. Not only do you get better LD, but you also regain wounds! Tomorrow brings the rest of the Imperium, with the Xenos factions and the first Munitorum Field Manual (which contains all the points) of the new edition arriving later in the week.
