What does ITC do that makes the game more like 5th?? It does not buff IG, GK, SW, BA, or transports, nor does it simplify missions. Do you remember 5th? Have you played ITC? Just seems like a really, really weird comparison to me...
Well I guess it depends on whether you only think a rumor is only good if it ends up being true. Click revenue is certainly the goal, running that website is actually his entire livelihood.
Honesty stopped being important in any form of media a long time ago...
He doesn't actually make stuff up; anything he posts he got from somewhere/someone. He just doesn't vet it at all. Why would he? (this from knowing him personally and occasionally sitting in his office when he makes his posts).
It is a longshot but I really hope they structure the list more like the FW 30K Knight army list where you have different pilots with different skills/USRs and org slots that you then buy which Knight chassis for them to drive...
I don't really think any of the new Eldar D is particularly troublesome; a bump from 10/1 to D is pretty negligible against most things (monstrous/gargantuans and super heavies being the exceptions) and the scythes have the -1 so won't remove models with no recourse. I'm pretty deep in the acceptance phase right now.
Am I reading it wrong or is Transonic just a really bizarre rule? The weapons are AP5 and on the first round of combat, 6s to hit are at AP2, then in subsequent round all attacks are AP2... so it is worse in the first round of combat?
I've always thought that Tac Terminators should get ammo selectors and get all the rounds Sternguard get (but Stormbolter version) to really make them shine
The great thing about the list is it doesn't even have to kill the Knights per se (barring a Kill Point mission, then you're screwed either way), it just has to control the board and get in the way, grab objectives.
To Drop Pod you would need either Space Wolves or Blood Angels Allied in. This is because both of those chapters have un-dedicated Pods as Fast Attack, otherwise Centurions have no access to them from the SM codex. That said, I think a Pod is a better mode of precision application of Centurions w/ Grav than a raven.
An army like this needs strong support elements. Things like Devastators and Centurions, which also leverage the Sentinels of Terra rules and pack the punch the Scouts lack, are good choices...
