I missed this...

as an aside- I find it amusing I know half of you guys redit and dakka handles from your posts!

Anyway...for who think that Scourges with heavy weapons sucks, I would suggest to look how many points 5 men with 4 heavy weapons are.
I still find them pretty good!

Has anyone actually seen the scourge datasheet (link?)? Maybe they have BS 2+ or something to mitigate the changes?

BS3 I saw that today

Um... hold on a sec....
Haywire grenades? On scourges?

I'm happy with most of what I hear so far. This does require me to not tweak my list, but start from scratch, but I love that. New options, yeey!
Transports being fixed solves so much trouble!
I am sad about the nerf to Scourges though. They didn't need it. And it makes me extra sad since those models the reason I started DE back in 5th. I was having doubts between 3 armies, and chose DE because they had scourges.

Oh man.. found a typo in the new dex already.
At the top, they say "plasma grenades"
at the bottom, it is "Haywire Grenades"

Nice.

Any sign that HQs get to use their auras within transports?

In which sheet? The english scourges says plasma in both places.

Are Haywire Blasters better weapons now? Trying to do the math.

Lost the mortal wound on a 4+ but the 6+ D3 mortal wounds remain and the standard damage output went from 1 to D3. While the ap got much better.

Surely a lot better now.

Do we know if the reavers can still take a grav talon/ blaster combi on the same guy?

I really hope so. Just magnatized and primed a unit of 12 like this XD.

Luckily its pretty easy to add an extra magent to other guys. The cavity in the model nearly fits a 1/8" magnet already, just needs a little work with a dremmel to widen it up.

Sure, except they're heavy now. :/

I really like how they say "6+"

Maybe we will be getting better ways to modify wound rolls?

This sheet
the english one.

Look at the top with what each is armed with.
then at the bottom where the keywords are.
The info box has the plasma grenade stats, so I assume that is the correct one unless there is a rule we are missing here.

They've also lost a point of strength.

If you're stuck taking a Heavy weapon, surely you might as well just take a Dark Lance or Heat Lance?

Each to their own but I have no interest in banking that I roll a ton of 6s to wound.

Well, I already have a Scourge unit with Haywires, and a unit with Dark Lances. And I have one unit still on sprews. Guess those get Heat Lances now.

yo folks, been afk a long time (wife and I had baby..etc)

Check this out -- I've seen the points, and I don't see upgraded Master Archons anywhere.

This means that I'm suspecting..
"Master" anything get the Exalted Demon treatment with spend 1 CP to access it.

I've also not see any Trueborn upgrade on the Warriors, which means if you have this, you access 1 Trueborn unit to Warriors.

The key takeaway here is the points, you don't spend points anywhere to get Master Archon or Trueborn.

This is all speculation, but makes sense based on what I've seen.
