We'll downloaded the new codex, very happy with it, lots of completely new stuff, funky rules and interesting combos.
It's not all give though, plenty has been taken away, but for fair and obvious reasons got to say Well done GW. Kind of annoyed that they put a Commissar in the codex, would have been better to give these guys stubborn as standard when you read the masses of brilliant new fluff.
Anyway the main purpose was to open the discussion on the new Order Supression Protocol:
It gives Sniper (wounds on 4+, rending, pinning, precision shot) to all those AP3 weapons.
Sounds overpowered at first but only a couple of squads max are going to pull this off per turn.
But combine this with the Air Cav formation for twin linked & split fire and I think they are now an awesome alpha strike unit.
Some neat new fluff in the book, very refreshing.... I love the how they describe the noises of some of the weapons too, (yep sat here for five minutes trying to find the right blend of sssscchh pheewwww noises to match their description!)
