My blog is primarily my own personal fluff in the Warhammer 40,000 universe regarding the Draconis system such as the Knight House Yato in Ryusei, their Household Militia, the Draconian Defenders, and the Forge World of Draconis IV with its Adeptus Mechanicus priesthood, Cybernetica cohorts and Skitarii legions, and the Titan Legion, Legio Draconis, known as the Dark Dragons.

Imperial Guard leaks from playtesters?

Thanks to Valrak, I heard that Simply Warhammer posted a video on Imperial Guard leaks from playtesters. I don't know how reliable the rumors are, but as always, it's more fun to speculate and talk about rumors than to worry if they are true or false. So let's get to it.

1. Rogal Dorn Tank is confirmed, it has less than 18 wounds and is Toughness 9.
2. Hopefully Baneblades and variants are also Toughness 9, but he didn't hear anything about them, so fingers crossed.
3. Tank Commanders are nerfed to BS 4+. Ouch. Turret weapons no longer fire twice, but they have a +1 to hit and they can now shoot out of combat (as in, if you're locked in combat with a melee unit, you can still shoot your turret weapon at another unit not within engagement range with your tank, hence allowing you to still shoot blast weapons even though you're locked in combat). Sponson and hull weapons remain the same, so they are probably still BS 4+ and have to shoot into combat with a -1 penalty.
4. Probably get a bunch of tokens (like Genestealer Cultists? Crossfire markers and whatever).
5. Deathstrike now can take 3 missiles, seems like its weapon has improved, and firing mechanism has also been changed. Main explosion does lots of damage to the primary target, then 3D3 mortal wounds to units within 6" of the primary target.
6. Death Korps of Krieg are in the book as their own new regiment, will have a new Regimental Doctrine, Stratagems, Relics, Warlord Traits and stuff.
7. Rough Riders are back in the codex, no longer shunted to Legends and having a new model.


Take the rumors however you want, but I think this looks great (except the Tank Commander nerf, which makes me sad). But hey, if they drop the points and allow us to take multiple Tank Commanders, I'll be fine. I hope they have a plasma variant for the Rogal Dorn tank so that I can create an all plasma Tank regiment with my Leman Russ Executioner tanks and Stormblade!
