Don't have time to read and digest it right now, unfortunately. However, I just read the rules for Berzerkers and Kharn. They should hit like a ton of bricks, holy shit!

I'm really interested in IG and really pissed that the Horus Heresy will remain in the land of the 7th edition. My Alpha's will have to be deployed as CSM, I guess... :closed-eyes:

Markerlights for Tau are awesome now.. no more spending the tokens, just put 5 succesfull markerlights on a unit and reap your opponents tears :)

Pathfinder / markerdrones will now be mandatory in every list I imagine

they said all models will have rules in the indices.

Also read forgeworld are releasing 2 books with all rules, but not sure if true.

Orks are going to be pure nightmare fuel.

Those lists are awesome.

Giant point spikes are really interesting across the board.  Imperial Knights went up a fairly large amount, but things like Landraiders went through the roof.  A standard landraider is 355 points!

all (most) walkers/veheciles went up quite a bit, just to reflect the new rules on them

I read a nice article on BOLS (yes yes I know.. almost impossible...) about how people really should not compare 7e with 8e

I've looked at the Defiler rules. Went from total poop to "ohshityoudontwanttomesswiththis". That seems to be true for a lot of walkers and vehicles.

Vehicles have melee attacks now? Even planes!

I don't see rules for the vendetta, only the valkyrie. Maybe because the plastic kit doesn't make one.

I doubt it. More likely the guy leaking this didn't take a pic of the page.

EDIT: guess you're right after all, it isn't in the points index at the end either. So I guess it'll be with the Forgeworld stuff then. From what I can see, the booklets only cover the stuff that's GW proper.

They do. Some are rather nasty, as well. A bit silly imho but look forward to try it out.

That's probably for the best. Six lascannons!
