One thing I’m curious about is cross compatibility with the Darkoath Ravagers kit from Warcry. Once they are available again, I’m snagging at least 2 of the Warcry boxes to have moreoptions/less repetition in my units.

Snagged one of the army boxes on pre-order. Almost got a second, but my fiscal discipline kicked in.

So does the Sniper Master ability only ignore the second bullet point of Guarded Heroes or the whole thing?

Seems to give definitive timing ("when picking the target for their shooting attacks") which suggests only the second bullet point (as that's the only part of the rule that matters "when picking the target" for your shooting attacks).

Hurray, ambiguity. Maybe it's cleared up by the full rules.

That's a... depressingly good catch.

But at least there's good independent character protection in the core rules.

They wrote it as "For the Rest of the Turn" they ignore the rule "When picking their target" - the "For the Rest of the Turn" they ignore the rule, so that would, as written, mean that they ignore the whole thing, not just clause two.

Phrased differently, the trigger is "When picking a target", the result is "They ignore the rule for the rest of the turn".

It reads to me you use the Sniper Master prior to any attack sequence, given there is no timing imperative for "pick a visible hero" under the declare step outside of "shooting phase" for the whole ability. In which case once the Warplock Jezzails or whatever target the unit, the Guarded Heroes has already been removed for their shooting attacks, avoiding the hit penalty.

I've actually re-read it, and it's not meaning "picking a target" as in the step of the attack sequence where you pick targets.

It's actually referring to when you pick the target you ... erm, targetted? when you declared the ability (ie the enemy hero) as the target of your attacks, you ignore the ability.

So not ambiguous afterall, just, awkwardly worded. The wording they picked happens to coincide with the wording of another thing. Only with careful reading can you parse out what they're actually meaning.

Yeah, infantry heroes always seemed very flimsy in the prior editions.


Honestly, though, I'm just left thinking 'why can't 40k have this?'.

It seems substantially better than Characters being glued to a single unit.

I think one handbook a year is slightly over-exaggerating bloat.

especially when the books are specifically replacing each other, rather than adding on top. it's not bloat, it's rules replacement. i think it's fair to dislike that, but since this is specifically for matched play, it's pretty easy to let it pass you by. on the other hand, i think these rules are a nice way of keeping games fresh and adding new extras without going too far with it

This. I figure they'll also use the GHBs to provide updated core rules, just like they currently do, but that's covered by errata as well for folks who don't want to buy a copy. We'll probably also see more of the primal magic style of rules, given how they've described modular rules as a thing they want to experiment with for seasonal play. It'll probably work more smoothly as well, as they can simply replace entire sections of the book for a season.
