hmmm seems like the assistant is pretty much mandatory... adding or subtracting 1 from the chart makes it guarantee that you can always enhance toughness

...I really would not have guessed that they would nerf Bile's statline - 1 less strength and 2 fewer attacks. At least the 5+ feel no pain is good news.
Fingers crossed he has a new mandatory warlord trait.

Fingers crossed he has a new mandatory warlord trait. How many attacks does he have now? Cause four plus three extra from his back pack is pretty good |

So he's getting one extra attack net, but three of them are only strength 4 and 1 damage. |

True. Although I hope servo arms go this route as they are an extra attack at their stat line

imgur.com/dp92oGTThis is the cover for War of the Spider. Is it just me, or does his head look rather small in that art?

Being able to deep strike pox walkers is kind of cool. put a huge chunk of them on an objective that isnt in your deployment zone. They're pretty slow so being able to get them deeper into the board faster is good. the relic for the Bellboy is great tbh. put him near your plague marines to give them an invul as they advance up the board. other stuff looks fine, but nothing crazy. all situational stuff. |

Bellboy is alright, typically plague marines will be in cover usually and have a 2+ save, so 5++ invuln is really only good against AP-3 or above. I'm not sure what would be that high that would be shooting Plague marines rather than something else tbh. It would be nice to have an interaction with poxwalkers with this. Other than that, helbrutes are in a slightly better spot, land raiders and rhinos can do nicer.
Plagueburst crawlers look like they will be even better than before with the new changes in 9th plus being able to fall back and shoot with them, so 2d6 on the plague spitter shots in overwatch, then fall back and shoot them again.
What seems cool is the extra 6' range on plague weapons which as of now could be combined with blight bombardment, everyone gets to throw a grenade, and the character that upgrades grenades into 2 dmg and potentially mortal wounds on a 6+ (can't remmeber off top of my head).
Quite excited for what the rest of the book has but there's nothing amazing so far, I hope plague marines get a little bit of help cause right now they're not very good

I suspect Khorne Berzerkers will like being Creations of Bile - 7" move, the ability to advance and charge (potentially twice, with Warptime), and with chainaxes you can get up to Strength 8. 8"+3d6" charge range, up to 16+4d6" with Warptime. After burying Khorne Berzerkers in your enemy's lines on turn one, you can give most of their army -1 to hit with Monstrous Visages - note that it isn't -1 to hit the Khorne Berzerkers, it's -1 to hit while within 6" of the Khorne Berzerkers.
Cute, if nothing else.
