OMFG i have seen the new 'dex and have focus read all parts concerning catachans ( although if anyone wants to ask anything on something else go aheadi had a pretty good read) im so happy iron hand is the best charachter entry ever hes stregnth 6 with no armour save allowed against attacks with d6 penetration on vehicles hes a frikking MC and he has an armour save of 3... legend. As for marbo hes pretty cool aswel... ebay prowling commences
oh and that harker guy sounds pretty cool i wanna see a mini tho

As for the non 'chan stuff the whole orders thing sounds good but i need a longer read quite in depth.
Theres tank commander guy like chronus never read the rules tho
Im really not to keen on the new layout of these 'dexs tho the lates SM one is really irratating i much prefered the last SM one where points and rules where together as i always find myself flicking between the two and getting distracted by 'pretty pictures' or something equally as distracting... curse you GW
On the whole tho a very good codex i just hope we see some plastic tank goodness... there is a bit of artwork for the deathstrike i hope they make a kit for it it would be heuuge.

I got a couple of questions, are Valkyries and Vendettas fast attack choices and can they be taken as transports for an entirely airbourne army?

Can you field an all stormtrooper army?

Valkyries and Vendettas are fast attack choices and can be taken in groups of 3 so if you only have 9 units you can have an all airbourne army.

i dont think you can have an all stormtrooper army

Valks and Vends are a fast attack slot but as mentioned earlier in this thread i think they can be in squadrons of three
All i can remeber is tat Valkyries have a transport of 12 and that stormtroopers have a rule like 'covert operations' or something that means they can have a valk but they are an elte choice so i dont think you could have an all ST force.
On all other units like infantry squads, command squads and veterans (troops by the way YAY) under the transport heading have the option of a chimera as a dedicated transport but no mention of valkyrie.

I did read this stuff for my own ideas of having a few valks in my catachan army, my understanding of what i read is that they are not dedicated transports but are instead used to fly in some reserves and then zoom off and pic up another unit and so on and so forth.

hope that helps :)

from the look of the May WD, the closest you can get to all stormies is veteran squads with carapace armour.

dammit, beaten to it by someone with a codex :(

You can however take an all veterans army and give them the grenadiers doctrine, for the current cost of 3 plasma guns, giving them a 4+ armour save.

I like the demo doctrine though, same price, a demo charge and every member gets melta bombs. So 3 specials and a demo charge, at BS 4 = awesome

Cheers guys exactly what I was after!

Anyone know if the veteran squads ten man units like in the old codex or are they bought like regular platoons?

Nice one! Thanks guys. I'm planning on two veteran units as the compulsory troops choices if they can be taken as troops and wacking them in Valks. Not a fan of command squads and platoons.
Are there any officer options for taking a commander as an independent model HQ rather than attached to a command squad?

No mate i dont think there are i mean even kell and kreed and all that just replace the officer in the command squad.

On a similar note sly marbo however, can be deployed on his own he starts in reserve and can infiltrate within two inches of an enemy model (coupled with the fact he has a sniper pistol, poisoned sword and a demo charge) this makes marbo very potent like a curry

You can take a commissar lord or special character witout a squad, but i think you're missing out by not taking officers, the orders can be brutal, twin linked melta an plasma when shooting at tanks and MC's, yes please.
