andy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Crikey. Coldstar suit now has 4 fully customizable hardpoints. 4 Fusion Blasters, 40" move, no penalty. Hit on twos, with even a tiny bit of effort re-roll ones. That'll leave a mark on anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hmm, I wonder if 4 high-output burst cannons will be an option for Coldstar Commanders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 It's on the Arsenal page, so maybe. We really need to see the dataslate for the Coldstar. I'm astonished they opened up all 4 hardpoints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Me too. Now we know the real reason behind "One commander per detachment" rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Also, looks like I'm going to have to go back and magnetize the 4th hardpoint on all of my XV8s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 So, doing some noodling in my head...35 points (5x fire warriors) seems to be the lowest "tax" for Commander spam (patrol detachment). Not bad considering the DS8 turret has become a free option for the FW. As long as you aren't playing in a detachment limited tournament or league, that is.

andy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 The turret is free, but you still need to pay for the weapon system you put in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Yes, I see that now. Probably more efficient to go with other detachments anyway. I'm excited to see the rest of the Codex. Definitely digging most of what I'm seeing so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in a gun line isnt exactly foreign territory for a lot of T'au Commanders. Some of their Units, yeah. But most of the Suits have always been about mobile firepower. That seems like kind of a big chunk of the T'au military to use inefficiently like that, or leave with no Sept benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But im just observing that many more are "shift and fire" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelharis Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Rumor of homing beacons getting a big nerf in that you have to deploy them at the start of your turn, instead of anytime during your move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
