Some scuttlebutt about the next dataslate

Flamers get d3+3 shots

Ad MECH gets AoC

SM Scouts go back to being troops

Custodes FA and Elite get ob sec

SM doctrines stack progressively

Abbetants get core

Tyrant guard don't look out sir winged hive tyrant

[lightcavalier]

Could entirely be fake...but its a fun read

[trantos01]

Either way it got removed.

[mrmanstory]

That space marine one would be real spicy. Saves cp on having to put something in a different Doctrine every turn unless you really need the chapter specific bonus.

[Jack Shrapnel]

didn't GW say that the Jan balance update was points only?

I haven't heard anything yet about what is supposed to replace Nephilim... isn't that supposed to be happening soon?

(or did GW just give up on this 6 month book life?)

I think that is supposed to the schedule. Points changes, and mission changes coming soon, but not a balance dataslate.

[Frosty the Pirate]

Yeah this doesn't add up. We're not due for a new dataslate until mid or late Feb.

Mission pack and points is coming Jan 15th.

I call bogus.

"new balance dataslate arriving soon"

[Frosty the Pirate]

Woah.... what a shakeup. Look at that force-org.

Edit: After reading this, this can't be a change in isolation. Obsec or being Troops or something is going to be hella important in this mission pack.

I state to the record that my club list was made before this. But this helps my list.

Voltann being an ally for imperium makes some interesting lists.

Man armour of contempt going away kinda blows. I know it was a bit annoying and repetitive sometimes but it put marines back on some even playing ground. It also seems odd since they literally changed salamanders and a sister order so armour of contempt could be a thing just to take it out? Those points drops hopefully are pretty good to counter the survivability most marines are losing.

[Jack Shrapnel]

I'd take that with a grain of salt. AOC was printed in CSM book, and void armor also has it printed in their book. They're not about to take it away from underperforming marines.

Harlies saves aren't going to 5+ either. That doesn't make any sense. Zoans/levi warriors were already nerfed and the new FOC means you don't have to take troops, so also cannot see that extreme point hike on a unit you don't even have to take happening. Most lists either don't bring zoans at all or bring only 3. Leviathan nerf killed that completely.

I believe they'll deal with flamers with points.

I believe that the necron and sisters secondaries will be nerfed.

[lightcavalier]

AoC isn't printed in the CSM book, it's why they had to day 1 FAQ the iron warriors legion trait

As to believability....these are the same ppl who nerfed sisters and DG 6 months after they stopped being top tier...anything is possible sadly
