yeah my browser must have been opening the original I guess... at least it's corrected now, that's something.

I'm not surprised they had to up thier points but a little surprised it was the full +10 per gun. Maybe try +5/gun for a total of +10ppm. I think at that would be good test spot

Seems like someone realized how broken 18 plasma interceptors for 720 points was lol (or 15 for 600)
Rip all the recommendations for plasma inceptors the last couple weeks. What a bait and switch lol.

Back to a trash unit.
They were good but probably fine at 40, 50 they maybe would have been taken, 60 they are back to never seeing the table. Bolter inceptors continue to be useless too.
Annoyingly they were the most helpful for non-devastator all the time chapters, which were the weaker chapters anyway.

Not to toot my own horn but this was the exact thing I called out as making me dislike 'free equipment-maybe' on principal. I'm not getting tricked into rekitting my deathwing with 100% THSS only for GW to arbitrarily decide with no notice they should actually be the worst unit ever printed etc. As we know there's no guarantee you'll even get until the next points bundle with your current pricing, and as the free stormshield spam ramps up I won't be surprised if SS go back to a priced item.
Also as an aside, I think they're lying through their teeth when they say that's an error- if it was an error, shouldn't inceptors be getting a flat points discount like nearly all the other units that still have to pay for gear? Why are they one of the only units now that get neither free equipment OR a points discount... it's not like they were tearing up the meta before :/

Yeah I wouldn't be re-arming my marine army anytime soon. At clubs, I'm not expecting you to replace all your marine arms... be clear with your opponent what is going on and what things are armed with (doing your best to be WYSIWYG of course) but GW has done these sweeping changes to marines, which I feel is a bit of an overcorrection. When the pendulum swings back again you be stuck ripping off equipment again.
So I'm just asking everyone to be a bit patient this year and ask questions if you need to.

As much as I hate magnets on teeny tiny model joints like marine wrists, the flip-flop on gear might just be the best piece for marine players looking to fully WYSIWYG from here forward.
It's a royal pain no matter which way you slice it unfortunately.

I really hate magnetizing troopers but like... if I were going to remodel or build for free gear I would 100% be going that route, I don't see it being viable any other way unless you're okay being left with a stack of thunder hammer/combi sergeants you'll never touch again or w/e.
