Incoming Universal Changes?

I thought it would be cool to collate a list of rule changes in the newer books that might be FAQ'd for all armies. This is what I've noticed so far;

Change of "reroll all failed hits" to "reroll all hits", maybe they realised modifiers are stronger than intended? Not sure itll affect us since we cant get better than reroll 1s.

Change from 1/3cp for additional 2 relics to uncapped 1cp per relic. Would be great to have this since our HQs thrive when they have a relic.

That's all I've noticed so far, anyone seen anything else?

The way some stealth abilities work, such as for Raven Guard, will likely roll out to similar armies (Alaitoc, Alpha Legion).

every new army will have a new deep strike rule that don't follow the normal deep strike rule. I'm looking at you, drop pods.

Are you sure this is going to be a universal rule?

Just seems like yet another SM buff.

I look forward to Mandrakes and Venoms going that route.

I'd be almost certain that they won't be affected, the only thing relevant to us that will change will be Alaitoc's universal -1 to hit.

Alaitoc flyers with 2+ save above 12 inches dont sound bad tbh...

Agree with Burnage. This isn't (so far) a change to units innate -1 to hit abilities. It's a change to the Stygies/Alaitoc/Alpha Legion generic chapter tactic.

Yeah venoms are safe, the problem with -1 to hit when it's universal and stacks with units that already get a -1.
