    If it takes away from melta and plasma guns in vet squads, good: all of the sudden melta spam is cut back. I already run my vets as 2 melta/1 flamer to deal with a better variety of threats.

    If its anything like the leaked ruleset then it will be D3 hits per flamer.

    Something I noticed in the rules for the new aircraft....

    The Ork Burna - Bomba says "any model at least partially under the marker takes one hit, resolved from the weapon profile"

    This is wierd, cos in 5th even slightly under you take a hit. So why would the rules need to include this? And does it mean its wounds are on those specific models?

    I thought there was something odd about that wording but I couldn't put my finger on it...good job! That would be interesting if template hits were WYSIWYG.

    Hmmm... it'd potentially address some of the shenanigans you can play with wound allocations at the moment if you had some means to target high-profile figures hiding out with a bunch of redshirts. And, at least for many templates that aren't flamers, it'd still be subject to the scatter die, so it's not like they'd be too terribly broken.

    However, at this point were at "inference off of an inference (off of at least an admittedly solid rule)" so I'm going to hedge my bets that that's not the case. More likely, it looks like they might be edging back towards the 50% base rule for templates, which would make me and my two Thunderfire Cannons sad.

    Flamers have to cover as many models as possible as well, so that limits sniping with template weapons.
    I'm really liking the possibility of blasts and templates hitting models and not units.

    OverWatch and snapfire is 2 rounds of shooting in one go in your opponents turn at the cost of one target opportunity in the previous round?, if anyone thinks DeepStrike-to-Assault to consolidate is overpowered think again.Its balanced and bloody.
    Space out you units correctly.
