I know what you mean Jase, just when I was about to add some heavy-armoured heavy-flamer goodness to my army too for deep strike burny-work!

Veterans with carapace and 3 special weapons and a 4+ save, plasma pistol and Power fist are still cheaper then a ST squad, and they are troops, so all is not lost boys :)

I no that Aaron, as I said I like the codex but its screwed up alot of my battle lists, Schaeffers gone, and penal legion can't carry anything apart from lasguns, so 50% of my penal legoinares are useless, its a restart on alot of my armies which GW promised not to do.

Won't moan to much tho, just a case of ebaying what I can't use and restarting, yet again!

I would wait until the first FAQ jase. I think there are a few areas that need clarification. this new format of dexs does make you flip back and forth a bit and i think there may be a couple of bits which have been lost in translation so to speak.

I know found one screw up already, The Hydra stat line doesn't say twin linked, yet in its description it does.

Also the Stormtrooper Hot-shot lascarbine is accidently called a hellgun, but hey same thing really, and loving the AP3 marine killing firepower!

What makes me confused is if I attached 2 squads of Inquisitor Storm troopers to the Guard , their rifles will be AP4 wheres as the Guard stormtroopers will be AP3, yet its the same model!

You mean like how Land Raiders/other vehicles change if they have Dark Angel symbols on the side of them.

and how Dark Angel scouts are now better than normal scouts, and so take up an elite choice compared to a trops choice?

I like the Codex but I'm peeved off with certain lecturers at the preview open day. I asked if my Kasrkins could still be used as Grenadiers and the answer was 'yes', whereas hellguns arn't an option so I now have half my army only usable with Apocalypse.
Actually from what I can remember the guy said you would still be able to field troop choices with carapace armour, not that Storm Troopers could still be taken as troops in the same way they were with the Grenadiers doctrine.

My actual question was 'can I still deploy my kas-r-kin as troops' and the answer was 'yes, carapace is a choice' what he didn't say was I have to cut the damn hellguns off them, tho I might just do that with a squad to see how they turn out.

Don't think so - 36 is the Platoon HW and 37 is a Platoon squad. How I read it anyway.

look at page 96, 97, 98
infantry squads, hvy squads, special wpn squads, conscripts must be taken as part of a platoon.
vet squads, penal legion squad are outside of the platoon system. there appears to be no limit on how many of these you can take.

not sure on yours dave I think not, let me look at the last WD that might give a clue.
second edit. yeah that seems to be the case from the battle report

Gonzo, fear not! They'll probably just send you a whole new one! Scenery piece, perhaps?
