Hmm interesting. Aside from the rules, they decided to show off a couple of fortifications.
First is the Hammerfall Bunker that honestly looks like a mashup of various Starcraft 2 units.
Then there is the Convergence of Dominion, which consists of three different obelisk things. The interesting thing is that from the way the sentence is worded, they can move/redeploy around the battlefield if you bring crypteks.

so... insane bravery is once a battle now... and the changes to what can be used for a command point reroll is pretty huge (ie: not everything anymore!)

It kinda makes sense that you cant reroll moral, as a command point. I like this new addition.

If the article is accurate I'm never picking up the Convergence of Dominion. It's a rather pointless fortification that has a single short ranged gun that doesn't have the strength to wound the things it's AP and damage would have you shoot a while giving a rather pointless buff since if you're worried about leadership, take Immortal Pride.
Meanwhile the Hammerfall Bunker is projected to be OP in comparison with the guns being able to shoot at 'every enemy unit in range' along with having buffered overwatch capabilities.

Can the bunker be killed? I know that's what normally takes me from bringing ANY fortifications nowadays. 8th was an edition designed to kill a lot of models; and fortifications can't hide or run, so I find they just get smoked.

fluff makes it sound like it would deep strike. but who knows. may be a primarus drop pod without the capacity.
Or it may just be a building that gets smoked lol

So, now that I know more about 9th edition, I realize that it doesn't seem to fix any of the problems I had with 40K to begin with. As such, I likely won't get back into the game after all, and the money I spent on some AdMech stuff is more or less wasted. I'll likely put up the stuff I haven't taken out of boxes yet up for sale.
I'll just stick to AoS.

RANT So.... GW. They put orders up at 1255. I initially saw that the french version was sold out at 1256 and at 1 pm I could see all products except the indomitus box. Then my the website froze at 104pm and at 110 pm Website was down for maintenance.
at 120 the website was back up. I was able to select a Indomitus box set. I went through my cart, selected address , selected credit card which was already ready to go. It switched to confirming card. Then when back to my cart saying "One or more items in your cart are out of stock."
Bull shit. Not impressed GW. I also noticed that a week ago they said 6 per customer. Then yesterday they changed it to 3 per customer. and today when it was in my cart it said 1 per customer. Not happy. Hopefully Nexus gets a bunch in.

There have been sightings on ebay of scalpers with over 100 copies of the box. I know that doesn't help, but it's annoying to see that even with the measure of 3 per person, scalpers still find a way.

Hopefully Nexus gets a bunch in. this is why nexus wanted preorders... scalpers always flood the gw site with bots and buy them all up... which is a good reason to also never buy off Ebay... it just supports these idiots marking it up far beyond reason

Hopefully Nexus gets a bunch in. I don’t want to be a bearer of bad news, and I cannot vouch entirely for the veracity of the statement, but a video on YouTube said that stores are being cut off and only receiving enough to fulfill their preorders. So stores will not be receiving any extra copies. I only came across the info by accident. ***Edit to add opinion: I know GW said that stocks are limited. But perhaps if there is enough uproar and scalper bots did buy a fair amount of the allotment, they should announce a second larger print run to devalue the scalper copies and hopefully discourage this behaviour in the future.

Thats why I ordered from nexus. Way higher chance that I'll get the box, less stress trying to check out online on time, and local support.

No I also ordered from nexus. But I didn’t want to order more than 1 box through nexus , so that there would be more available for other people. I figured I’d order the other one on the website. I’m hoping mike gets all the ones that he pre-ordered. (Pessimistic).
