Hello everyone !!
It wasn't really a secret but they formally announced that the 3 next codex are : Custodes, Cults , Tau
In the next three codexes to be released – Adeptus Custodes, Genestealer Cults, and T’au Empire – their Troops units benefit from some key improvements. Here’s a preview of what you can look forward to.
They also revealed that :
All Custodes goes to LD 11 ^^
Most weapons goes from 1D3 or 1 to flat 2
Spear and Blade gain one extra S
Sentinel pistol has the same stats as Guardian spear gun (but pistol2 and range 12)
+1T is 16% extra resistance against bolter and S6 weapons.
Cult Icons is now +1d3 model per turn but I guess it loose the rr1 during fight phase ...ok
+6 ranges (neat)
+6 range and +1 ap ! Holy Neat!
Yea it's probably going to help Tau this edition but... what a poor game design :(. I fail to see the point of a game with no alternate activations and super long threat range on average ^^ /rant
/Cheers.
Bob.
