Yes, Valkyries and Vendettas come in squadrons of 1-3 per Fast Attack slot. They are each separate Fast Attack choices however, i.e. you can't mix Valks and Vends in the same squadron.
You can field 1-3 of any of the Leman Russ variants in any combination per Heavy Support slot. They must be fielded in a squadron, they don't go off on their own. If you want to do that you have to buy them one per slot.
There's nothing in the Codex to field Catachans as they were before with a 6+ save... they have a 5+ save now, congratulations. You can take Gunnery Sergeant Harker in one Veteran squad which turns them into Catachan Devils (gain Infiltrate, Stealth and Move Through Cover) but that's as far as it goes for "Catachan units" in the new Codex.

Valkyries are a squadron? A SQUADRON!? Screw that. I'll not be buying the new Codex Guard, thank you muchly. Just you wait, a year from now when I'm atop my throne of 4th Ed. codices and Imperial Armour books Games Development will come crawling to me admiting their mistakes. Dave out. |

i thought planes flew in squadrons anyway, Dave. besides, if you want them to go in different directions, just have 2 squadrons. to be honest, they just sound like heavy landspeeders, but with transport capacity and worse accuracy |

Planes operate in squadrons, yeah, but they don't stick within 50 feet of each other at all times. . . Dave out. |

It would work exactly like vehicle squadrons in the rulebook, which is 4" not 2". |

yea squadrons of 1-3 and they can fire both ordance and ALL HBs. Most ppl wont realise the boost ogryns got though, I looked at the old entry and realised that - ripperguns have +1 strength and now fire 3 shots (thats walkin HBs) -+1 toughness -+1 attack - -1 initiative and strength (the wepons dont give that +1 strength anymore) but they have furious charge. - now they have stubborn However all this comes at 40 points so you can get 10 conscripts and with 10 more points an infantry squad. |

hydras ignore cover for skimmers now? So the line between skimmers and flyers gets even more blurred... because skimmers cant hide behind stuff? *cries* least for 5 points tau skimmers still get their save... |

from reading it, it looks like he doesnt have it already, but will get it as soon as its out, or just before. advance ordering it just means that you dont get disappointed if your local GW has sold out before you get there |

Go post in someone's topic that you normally wouldn't
|
Or you did an advance order from an online retailer. I don't see any benefit buying stuff through the shops these days. |

Holland eh... not that far of a drive... now to find your address and something big to clobber you over the head with. Or you could just divulge where you got an advance copy from! Cheaper in gas for me and easier on your head for you.

Bram if its an electronic download version, please do not put that up on the public forum, or where you got it please as its illegal and we don't want anyone on the forum getting into trouble at all. If you wish to say where you obtained it, please do so via PM only. Thanks |

Is there going to be a model for the Catachan Gunny or is it one of those ones we make ourselves..?
