Basically nothing we didn't know before, but it's nice to see that the Morkanaut now has an impressive statline.

So guess everybody will get worse at what they are good when they loose wounds. So a Riptide should get BS 5+ on his last wounds.

But how will this effect versatile models like dreadnoughts? Will the you get worse everywhere?

I support everything being Toughness based so I can truly start fielding my 30 deathmarks

But they didn't answer the real question: Will Nobz in a Naut actually be good?

The big ones will, I don't think dreadnoughts count. They're only eight wounds.

From what we have seen Dreadnought don't degrade as they don't have * on their profile. It's just for things that were Superheavy, Gargantuans or just shy of it.

Also the Morkanaut is the supposed shooty one, so it degrades what he's worse at. I expect the Gorkanaut to instead become worse at shooting.

Well yes, but expect a total rewrite of Sniper and Hunter from hyperspace.

>The biggest Tyranid monsters now have over a dozen wounds, where Imperial Knights have over 20!
what monsters are they talking about you think? Trygons and Mawlocs? How many wound do you think Carnifexes will have?

>means that high-power weapons that can take chunks of wounds off at a time (lascannons, powerfists, battle cannons, etc)
Battlecannons and powerfists confirmed D6 wounds

Overall I like what I read here.

Powerfist/chainfist makes D3/D6 for sure, but I guess the battlecannon will be effective because of its 2D6 hits instead.
