Well howdy ho, Kingston chose right! Based on todays balance dataslate, the Kasrkin cap is now 6 wounds per use of the stratagem.
This does bring into question the validity of waiting for the FAQ to drop before allowing books in a tournament. It has become abundantly clear that the FAQ's are for very minor fixes, and the Balance Dataslates are where the actual meat and potatoes go. The book has been out since before christmas.
But who knows. Maybe they got better at writing rules for 10th?

Did I read correctly ...Dark Angels lost their perma-trans human? No buff for Sisters makes me sad but the change to Codex Warfare seems pretty relevant maybe tone down the prevalence of Ironhands.

I feel like their rules are good, it's their lackadaisical balancing of interactions that's the problem. If 10th is going to be "simpler, but not simple" then we might be seeing less layering of buffs. A point that's already confirmed by characters in units as well as limiting where buffs can be passed out.
But you're right, we hit the intent nail directly on the head. Though this late in the edition, how much of an impact will this really have, lol. It could have very easily been done in an FAQ or the Jan balance dataslate.

They did an interesting job adjusting codex warfare.
It was broken before it needed to be adjusted. And they did a better job then making devestator 1 vp.
It will be a situational pick at best.

I get where deathwing players might be sad by this change... but we all have to admit that an army of transhuman terminators was a bit oppressive. (check out the recent art of war tier list - DA at the very tip top of S tier)
as for Kasrkin, that seems like a fair change, and one we all thought collectively that was the way it should work all along, so I don't think anyone is surprised by that.
abhor the witch changing categories is pretty interesting. thinking about it, it really does make more sense in purge.
well Broodswarm just got terrible lol...
Tyranids get to use adaptive strategies again. Not enough to stop the pain, but it lessens it a bit.
Awww... codex warfare just doesn't give an automatic 15 for devestator armies like iron hands? Not gonna miss that!

Tau got broadside core back is kinda nice. Gives a new option to open up thr very stale tau army building.
Custodes took a bit of a small but surprising nerf. You can't stack no re-rolls AND transhuman on a unit. So no more super units. It does hurt the big warden units and even some terminator play. Probably not the worst but does mean that blade champion can't tank angron for 2 turns any more.

A cap on kasrkin mw spam, less army-wide transhuman in the game, bugs getting a slight un-nerf, and a 120pt model not being able to bully a daemon primarch quite so hard
im pleasantly surprised!

It’s fine! Just fine!
I’d rather pay the pre-Arks of Omen points and keep Inner Circle unchanged till 10th, but GW gotta GW.
It’s fine.
