A welcome an unexpected change, in addition to the fact that the Solerite Gauntlet is now flat 2 damage (fuck you D3 damage). Previously this rule made you immune to battleshock from ranged weapons, meaning that the enemy had to kill you to a man if you wanted to shoot the Krieg off an objective. The Venatari Spear is now flat 2 damage (fuck you D3 damage) and grants an extra attack. How many primaris can it transport? Now your mileage may vary if you only collect one army, but as I have multiple armies with a wide and varied range of Forge World models across them I much prefer having them all in the one book. All of the Forge World Chaos Space Marine characters, including the Chaos Hellwright, on and off his Dark Abeyant. It gets a 4++ to compensate, but Im not sure that gets it back over the line into lists with all the cool new options to compete with. They also, while alive, provide a 5+ invulnerable save. Their weapons have been massively simplified, now having either an 18 Assault d6 Blast mode thats S5 AP-1 OR a 24 Assault 1 S6 AP-3 D3 shot. The points have gone up a little, but taking everything together Ithink theres still a unit here, just sitting in a very different role than we used to see. I've been working on some seriously unwell looking vampires! This iteration of the rules really gets rid of that, and while there are still good or bad units theres a lot less room between them. Whereas before Chaos players could laugh at loyalists forced to play around unit restrictions thanks to the Relic rule, now were in the exact same boat as loyalists, in that many of the units that you might take from this book now cost you 1 CP to add to a detachment. Adrasite Spears remain unchanged (and mostly garbage anyway). Trojans are the other huge loss. If one of the shields takes damage but isnt destroyed, itll regenerate at the beginning of your command phase, which is cute but is unlikely to regularly happen in practice as most decent alpha strikes will go through both of the shields. Remoras are also easy winner, because they get two seeker missiles for free, more wounds, and are always in cover just huge boosts all round with no cost increase. Credits: That Gobbo. Now it can be done every turn (which is a pretty nice change), pick a spot on the board that it moved over, and every unit within 6 takes D3 mortals on a 4+ (-1 to the roll for non vehicle/monster characters). It also has a much more sturdy defensive profile, and an improved version of the thermal jets rule for stuff it flies over. Acastus Knights! Theyre still not amazing they dropped from being toughness 9 down to toughness 8, though picked up a bit of improvement in their guns. Credit: Jack Hunter. Any turn you get to play with it isextremely stupid it has a casual 30 move so can essentially teleport around the battlefield with impunity, its weaponry and melee threat are dangerous and broadly applicable, and to cap it all off its a MONSTER rather than a VEHICLE, shutting down some armies answers to it. Medusas of all flavours get a more functional boost some go up in cost slightly, but the damage on their big gun increases to d6, obviously very nice and much more scary to be up against when theyre well hidden. of Forge World units that, at the time of printing, are supported. As a bonus, leviathans can now take nipple volkite, rather than just heavy flamers. The 9th Edition Imperial Armour Compendium was released on October 30, 2020. The Hornet is also -1 to hit all the time without having to advance. Blood Angels Sicaran Omega. This is because it is only 1500pts, leaving you enough leftovers to putsomething in your list to contest objectives, and its statline is a wild ride. Nice of you to share! The only other change is to the bombs, which is drastically different. There are some changes in weapons as well stormcannon arrays trade 2 shots for an extra 12 range, melta lances gain blast but swap from 2d3 to d6 shots, and the grav-flux bombard doubles in shots and has a more standard grav weapon statline. [[2], This compendium includes 222 datasheets, including super-heavy units and highly specialised troops. Transporting 12 models, you can bring in a full 10 man squad with character support, all while having tons of firepower for a mere 180 points (or 190 with the even better Volkite side-weapons). Moving over to cool giant monsters, theDimachaeron gets an astounding glow-up. https://www.youtube.com/live/huzAXt0Wlmg?feature=share #warhammercommunity #StreamingLive #PaintingWarhammer, Blood for the blood god!! It probably still doesnt cross the line to being actuallygood,but Im certainly looking at the arms of my largest robot son contemplatively. I think it is fair to say however that there was a wide gulf in the balance and efficiency of these units. We have a look through the book in our YouTube video, or keep scrolling to see our full written review as we did into the datasheets and changes, and investigate what goodies are within! In the points section these are listed correctly however. All flavours ofMalcador also go down a lot in cost, and while it probably doesnt make them competitive, like a lot of things it stops them being as hateful to use. Innocuous but also undeniably winners we have Tetras, which trade out their one shot, three tokens markerlight for a markerlight that just has heavy 3, while going down 5pts each to boot. Aquilon Custodians [CORE] : Fists and bolter is 5 points cheaper!?!?! Moreso than almost any other faction, Chaos Space Marines have leaned on Forge World units to stay competitive in days gone by. Sicarans in general also bumped up to a 2+ save, making them surprisingly durable, and took a substantial points cut. The free Wraithcannon option vanishes into the mists, but the spear gets a damage bump (to d3+3) and the ability to take a D-Cannon remains. The melee weapons got a substantial shakeup too, the leviathan no longer loses attacks for taking guns, and instead always has at least 4 attacks each siege claw gives an additional attack with that weapon, and the siege drill does 2d3 damage against most targets, or 6 damage against vehicles. I have been crying out for the Augmented Mount to be usable on any strength of attack, as previously this was locked to S4 and below only, which was a little situational. If youre familiar with the Codex: Space Marines relic contemptor datasheet youre already familiar with this one the only difference is new weapon options. Vindicator Laser Destroyer. All of them can outflank, too even better. We also get a nice two page spread telling the tale of the Death Korps of Krieg and the hellish world they herald from. For their part, Death Guard get their own section with a single unit immediately following, so theres a good chance this is intentional and not just an error. It doesnt cost half as many points its dropped from 235 points down to 170. Ares Gunship: ARES-GATE continues, with a 20 point increase, and the attack changes from the Orion. Hes still got two casts and denies and is still way nastier/tougher in a fight than most equivalents, so may still be the one of the better inquisition options. Now yes, that nearly in the previous sentence is a little ominous as there are a couple of strange exceptions. Forge World formed a key part of competitive play in 8th Edition, offering a wide range of additional options for some factions alongside some very cool models for players who wanted to try something different. Games Workshop provided Sprues & Brews a copy of this book for review purposes. Next, what if you want an incredibly stupid super-sized Lord of War drop pod? PDF Warhammer 40,000 - Imperial Armour Compendium.pdf - 9th Edition Join us on www.youtube.com/spruesbrews from 7pm - 9pm each Sunday! Sagittarum Guard [CORE] : Same points, but apparently the bolter half of their gun was a heavy bolter, because now it is 2 damage. Such a cool model and was great fun to paint up in a more modern scheme! Unfortunately, both of these get hit hard by being forced to take theInspiring Leader warlord trait. The Astra Militarum were the OG beneficiaries of Forge World units, and they retain a prodigious range, though some of their options have been archived off as part of this update (mostly very similar variants on existing units). Nice that it is cheaper, but otherwise /shrug. What stats do the turbolaser have? Still immunity to melta extra damage? Hazardsalso seem OK they get a substantial point cut in exchange for losing a single wound and thats probably a net positive, just about. The Firepike is now 15 range, so a 3 boost which is neat. This mighty 224 page book collects together the rules for the majority of current Forge World kits that are available to buy over on the Forge World website (It doesnt include any discontinued models so keep that in mind if you have any older kits, these will receive separate Legends support over on Warhammer Community allowing you to use these in friendly games). Agamatus Custodians [CORE]: No weapon or stat changes, but the base chassis is 5 points cheaper which is swell. On to the datasheets themselves we see a number of changes across the profiles, with the biggest change being weapons a lot have had damage or number of attacks added in line with the changes seen in the Space Marine Codex, units have also been updated to reflect any rules changes from that book such as Duty Eternal being added to all Dreadnoughts making them a lot more survivable. Ultimately, its a stronger unit, but its still a Lord of War. Someone at Forge World really loves drills. The other builds havent gone downas much as the HPL build, but with every build getting cheaper and a buff being applied to a unit that was already playable makes these the clearest, standout winner here. All the titans are winners. The third big change is the inclusion of the Martial Legacyrule. While the dream of reloading a Deathstrike is there, and re-upping hunter-killer missiles nottotally irrelevant, we all know what this was used for re-rolls on a Baneblade and it doesnt do that any more. OK, there are three major things to note here. Imperial Fists Astraeus Super-heavy Tank. The Dreadnoughts really eat shit here. (LogOut/ It got both cheaper and bump in firepower, making it an interesting option for someone who wants to go in on vehicles. So if you were debating trying it before, it is certainly more tempting now (but still D3 damage, ugh). Alright, onto the shared units, I guess. Whats awesome is that they dropped from costing 900-1000 points down to only 600, so can actually be used (if you can stomach spending 3 CP for a superheavy auxiliary detachment and an additional 1 CP for Martial Legacy). This 224-page hardback book provides you with all the datasheets and supporting rules you need to unleash the fury of your most powerful units in Warhammer 40,000. We also see some sneak peaks at what weapons may look like in a future Astra Militarum book with a Vanquisher cannon being listed as S16, AP -4, D9 with +1 to hit Vehicles and Monsters I am suddenly very glad i went with rule of cool and armed my Krieg Leman Russ with a Vanquisher cannon! A WS/BS 2+ contemptor dread, hes a 9 wound character, has a 4+ invulnerable save, and can do a few mortal wounds when he completes a charge. Engineers are less exciting they lose their weird super shotguns and are basically kind of boring. This is a great change as I often felt some of the Forge World units had some very odd costings. Terrax-Pattern Termite. The Gargantuan Squiggoth can also fall back and charge and even move over other units as it they were not there, something lacking in the current sheet making it easy to pin then down. Their Gas Bombs are still excellent and with the Grenadiers stratagem will be painful for anyone on the recovering end! Credit: Jack Hunter. Warhammer 40k - Imperial Armour - Index - Forces of the Adeptus Astartes.pdf download. 9th Edition Imperial Armour Compendium: The Goonhammer Review Greater Blight Drones are also way better, especially in Death Guard, despite losing the damage on their weapons. Sadly, the loss of the OG FW index habit of just slapping BS2+ on everything big hits Tau among the hardest. The Tarantula Battery also makes the move to a Fortification slot, making taking 3 units of these very tempting for some objective defence! Much the same as their imperial counterparts! Void shields now work in a much different way essentially while they are active you have a 5+ save, and each generator has 3 shield points each time you fail a save you lose a shield point, any excess damage is wasted, meaning you want to try and force them down with low Damage weapons to get the most benefit once a shield hits 0 points it collapses, but if you dont collapse it in a turn then it regains all its points in the command phase. 173.9M . These certainly exist, and you can use them. At least they are 10 points cheaper now for every build except double claws (which stayed the same). [ [2] Description This compendium includes 222 datasheets, including super-heavy units and highly specialised troops. Instead, weve lasered in on our areas of expertise and pulled out what we think the winners, losers and other notable changes are for each faction, aiming to give you the lowdown on the things that matter most. (LogOut/ While not as inexpensive as it was at the end of 8th, if you can afford the 3 CP for a superheavy auxiliary detachment its totally usable. Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Armour Compendium - Forge World 40k 9th Also gained the -1D taken Dread ability we have seen the Marine Dreads get, got an extra base attack (reasons), and got 5 points cheaper. The good news is they might do OK at that up front, they are now a real psyker, getting access to smite and knowing one power from the Rune of Battle discipline. Other Cerastus-Knights are all only 12 movement at top bracket now, which isnt a huge thing, but it is still a nerf. People! If so, that sucks Drills at least were something Id have liked to see stick around in Death Guard armies, and the loss of them is a major blow to a lot of current competitive builds. Drukhari only have two options, and theyre both kind of fine. The one sting in the tail here is that hes returned with theSpeedwaaagh! Look, theres atonof content to cover here and weve barely scratched the surface. That makes them kind of losers overall. Theres a clear set of principles running through all the changes in this book, which are generally very healthy for the game but might make owners of a few units a bit sad. Imperial Armour Compendium - First Look (WH40K) - YouTube On top of that, the -1 to hit these is now just always on, rather than only when they advance. So stay tuned for those articles and in the meantime, if you have any questions or feedback, drop us a note in the comments below or email us atcontact@goonhammer.com. BIG bonus. Unsure, but in the meantime it is very much still a Land Raider, with all the problems that entails. The Dreadclaw Drop Pod and the Chaos Terrax Pattern Termite are the big winners here, both being nasty threats that help deliver Chaos Space Marines to the battlefield in interesting ways. This tank was utter garbage ever since it released, being essentially a bunch of plasma guns that could overheat to have fewer shots. The Stormblade andPraetor stand out a bit as both get a signifcant bump to their main guns, with the Stormblade going up a point of damage and the Praetor getting an extra D6 shots on the firetstorm mode. TheMeka-Dread andMega-Dread both get quite a lot cheaper and that definitely works in their favour they dont have as many weird and wonderful options, but their defensive profile is just way more proportionate to their price if you feel like taking them. They all picked up a substantial number of wounds, with a warhound now having 50 wounds and a warlord 120, but dropped in toughness, with the warlord the only titan at T9. This isincredibly bad;for some units itll just limit to your ability to include multiples but more than likely itll just make some units unplayably bad, since theyre likely to be overcosted before you include the CP. Also, R.I.P. 2 - Space Marines and Forces of the Inquisition, War Machines of the Adeptus Astartes (Second Edition), Vol. Relic Contemptor Dreadnought. Unfortunately for Tau players, the Yvahra finally gets knifed in the back, fulfilling a long-held vendetta festering in the hearts of many players who ran up against them in early 8th when they were actually good. If you are a fan of Forge World models and want the chance to use them in your games of 40k then you really should pick this book up, and while I understand that for pure Tyranid players it may seem a shame you have to fork out for the entire book, for those who collect multiple armies it is great having all these profiles collected in one place! While it only has 32W, its got T9, a built in 4++ against shooting and the right keywords for Lightning Fast, making it extremely non-trivial to kill at range, especially if you stickFortune on it as well. Then theres theGreater Brass Scorpion,which dropped 75 points while going up to 28 wounds It now also degrades in WS and BS, and so will always have 6 attacks to whiff with as it loses accuracy. Pallas Grav-Attack: Lost the -2 to charge grav ability, but is 10 points cheaper. In Lords of War land the Cobra and Scorpion also both got respectable point cuts and arebetter than they used to be, but probably still dont have a serious role in lists. At that point, slap an ATS on it and the main guns are straight up better heavy burst cannons on a chassis thats tougher than a Riptide, so while you do trade off a bit of flexibility, its at least a usable option. The good news, however, is that all the various flavours of Death Rider actually might, theyre good with strong Serberys Raider energy to them. It also helps that the statline is still fine theyve gone to 9W rather than 12, but are at least non-degrading, and get the always-on ability to ignore AP-1, a nice extra upside. These rules are better than what we used to have, and their costs do sit in a more realistic range than before, but paying 3 CP to take a greater daemon with no exalted abilities is weak sauce. Its unfortunate that these are just presented as a recommendation, as they effectively mean nothing and people will continue to play with whatever rules they want. Units have also had the CORE keyword added, setting them up to be futureproofed for a future Custodes Codex. The impact was, shall we say, uneven plenty of choices were fine, but there were frequent issues with Forge World units having unintended interactions with newly released rules, and a few choices that were just a bit over-pushed that tended to be over-represented. While were going to dig into the highlights and lowlights of individual units below, our overall impression is that there was a significant smoothing over of the entire book. We see quite a lot of points changes too, with a lot of the relic entries becoming cheaper across the board, with other units being adjusted upwards. Over the next few weeks, well be diving much deeper into these new rules and how they shake things up for each faction and make no mistake, theyshake things up in some pretty big ways. Finally, theWasp Assault Walker is justgone, which is a blow to some configurations ofExpert Crafter go-wide builds, as you lose the option of essentially taking three more deep-strike War Walkers. It lost the ability to shoot twice. This book is absolutely stackedwith content, and up front we have to be clear we are not going to go through every single datasheet line by line, as theres far too many for us to possibly do that. This will be a process as getting to all the factions, but for now you can find all the points including Forge World, Special Rules, Stratagems, Warlord Traits, Points, Search: The trove warhammer 40k codex. Wings:Its Xenos time, and as the chief elf-liker/army understander, Im taking the wheel from here, starting with Craftworlds.

Start Competing: Chaos Space Marines Updated! Hes still a respectable choice, as in trade-off for no longer getting to be a non-sensically good psyker he got stat boosts better weapon skill, an extra wound and mortal wound resistance on his shield. Falchion/Fellblade As an unapologetic lover of all forms of BIG TANKs, I had to take a look at these too. Much better than the past, where overcharge always did damage and staying still merely let you shoot volley fire twice. Inside Imperial Armour Compendium - Warhammer Community TheMagaeraandStyrixboth get a boost, with their siege claws gaining a sweep attack thats straight up better than stomping feet, being flat damage three and otherwise identical.

Credit: Jack Hunter. You Give Goonhammer Writers Serotonin. Goonhammer Reads Science Fiction: Women! Also the shooting attack on the spear is up to flat 3 damage, from D3 damage. Custodian Guard with Adrasite/Pyrithite Spears [CORE] : Pyrithite spears got the new melta rule of half range equals D6+2 damage, but also went up by 5 points, so a slight nerf overall. 11 named characters, most of which youve never heard of cover the above 5 chapters + the Salamanders. An Astraeus has 2 void shields, so it has a nice little buffer before it starts taking damage. Warhammer 40,000 Imperial Armour: Compendium is available now from Forge World for 40. Given they can go after hordes very effectively as well, I think these have been priced pretty close to right. Thats seriously spicy, and since neither goes up in cost on that build and some of their guns get marginally better, these are a much more appealing option. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.

I had emotionally prepared myself for this, but it looks like I will, in fact, be needing to change the paint scheme on my Wraithseer before putting it on a tournament table even once, as they have completely changed but at least not necessarily to the point of being unusable. He did also get whats probably a downgrade in being declared a Terminator, but if you were planning on warping him in anyway its much of a muchness.
