"Commissar rules about the
execution is real: 1-2 opponent choose, 3+ you pick. 

Fire on my Target now grants ignore cover instead of re-rolling successful
cover saves. Bring it down gives monster/tank hunter instead of twin-linked. 

Officer order range is 12inch for both senior and junior. Senoirs get 2
orders/turn instead of 1. 
Creed gets 2 Warlord trait, that you can roll in 2 different warlord chart if
you want. 

Straken gets automcatically the one granted relentless; Harcker lost feel no
pain (T3 blargh) but is also relentless (and no word that only he's got it, so
you get a squad of relentless vet for +55pts) 

Heavy flamer is 10pts; and (har har!) if vets don't take it, they can still
sport 3 Special Weapons instead of 2. 

Power fist/weapon are still 25/15 pts. 

Ratlings can now shoot and run in the same shooting phase. 

Heavy Weapons team are 45 pts, but since you MUST take 3 heavy weapons, the
cheapest being mortars at 5 pts, there's no price change. Scout Sentinels are
still 35 pts. 

CCS are 60pts. 
Tank commander are 30, +40 for Pask 
Creed is 80, Straken is 130, gains monster hunter, smash, but 6 inch
counter-charge/furious charge bubble 

Platoon didn't change in price. Vets are 60. 

Yes, Executiooner gains Gets Hot for main weapon.. 

Deathstrike can't fire first round, blast is apocalyptic blast 

1-Hydra got 2 twin-linked Hydra autocannon, (Heavy 2 skyfire) for 70,
open-topped. 

2-Creed can issue 3 orders/turn, failed orders MUST be re-rolled; he also go 2
hot-shot laspistol, no word on being twin-linked, so gunsligner.base for him;
Kell makes a unit take the order's Ld test on his Leadership (which is 8) ONLY
when he's with Creed. Kell also got the bodyguard rule (Look out -arghh!) and
Sworn protector (got to do a glorious intervention when he can and auto passes
the test) 80Creed/75Kell cost 

3-Nork got Sworn Protector rule as well, FnP, Hammer of Wrath, look out Arrgh,
Stubborn, Very bulky (no is dark in 'ere rules for him or the other 'Gryns as
well) Heroic Sacrifice as the old codex (can re-roll to hit/to wound on that as
well), can exchange his normal attacks in melee (4) for a single headbutt,
giving +3 Str, AP3, concussive. 85 for Nork 

4-Basic is 150 
Exterminator 130 
Vanquis 135 
Eradicator 120 
Demo 170 
Punisher 140 
Execu 155. 

Lascanon in the hull is 10 pts, so at least it's cheaper... 
10 HF sponson 
20 HB 
20 MM 
30 plasma canons

Also, you can do Sarge, any sarges, a gunsligner; he can take any itemS (notice
the S) from the ranged Weapons list (Vet is melee AND ranged) the only basic
gear that specifically states he is replacing is his CCW. for a power weapon
(Vet got no specification) 

Arty is only the Wyvern and the Earthshaker/Mandicore (+10 pts) and Deathstrike
(no change) 

Heavy Flamer is not in the special weapons lists, it is an added line in the
unit's gear choice (as only CCS, PCS and vets can take it) but still count as a
special weapons; hence why Vets can take 3 specials if they forgo the Heavy
Flamer 

Hellounds and variants are back 
Hell: 125 
Dog 135 
Wolf: 130 
Multi-melta is 10 pts 

Vet Sgts, can't issue orders. 

Heavy Weapons costs are the same...Missile launcher is still 15 pts, +10 for
flakk missiles...conscripts are like the old codex; no special weapons, 3 pts a
pop, still part of a platoon. SWS starts at 30. 

Sgts can't take lasGUNS; only bolt pistol/gun and plasma pistols. 

As for competitive..not much changed..the orders are actually better in my
opinion (got to try it first of course) the Warlords Traits are nice, short of
one (CCS gains relentless..'wow') the fact that even junior officer can turn a
IS with spit fire, precision shot and shoot+run is nice. base 12 inch range for
everyone will mean the PCS will actually be used for more than a turn 5
objective cleaner..OH! 

The old Grav chute insertion; it now happens when the Val/Ven moves MORE THAN 6
inches instead of flat out..."
