Deep striking could surely be modded in?

You could put deployment zones and restrict them to drop-pod enabled units (chosen how you choose rhinos/chimeras for infantry) and blap. Deep striked.

The stormtroors is the only bit I don't get.

Perhaps they thought the bridge to elite infantry lies with the Astartes units?

Regular infantry/Steel Legion then elite infantry Tactical Marines?

No reason not to have a bridge, inbetween, with improved from SL but worse from SM stats.

I think Scions are excuseable, as we have Steel Legion. Scions are more a general pattern of Guard, whereas SL are very specific. Storm Troopers I guess, it's weird. The Steel Legion would certainly have elite units like that. Not sure if they'd use Ogryns but I'm not overly fussed by their absence....

Hi all, Considering the last thread was subject to Exterminatus, and had a lot of good info, I thought we should make a new thread to consolidate our newlly acquired grasp of the combat mechanics in Armageddon. They're deep, they're poorly documented at the moment but they're awesome. So to copy..ar...

Heh I lost the last training mission too, I'd entered the hexes but hadn't occupied them for the Aquila to appear. I just assumed they were captured. Nerp. Loss! Sometimes the objective markers can be somewhat obscure. I lost most of my battalion during the Legio Metallica escort mission. It said br...

You're operating under a false impression. 40k is NOT a set of rules. Tabletop is a set of rules, for a game set in the 40k universe. Again, 40k is an Intellectual Property from which Games Workshop derive their products. Considering your expectations were never promised or advertised they are paten...

Ok I'll lay this out real simple. The product did not mention a feature you wanted You bought the product Now you whine that it does not have the feature you wanted Stop making up that you were 'lied' to, you were not. Nobody has misled you, you only misled yourself. You've come in under the false i...

So you're saying a game that is set in the 40k universe, with 40k races, units & characters is NOT a 40k game unless it follows TT rules? Yeah. That's what you're saying. That's a stupid statement. By your own logic here, but W40k: Tabletop is different to W40K: Dawn of War as it is to Blood Bow...

What the hell are you smoking, you absent-minded sloth? You haven't been misled. At all. This is a 40k game. It's set in the 40k universe. It's set in a 40k War. It's got 40k races. It's got 40k units. It's got 40k characters. The fact you bought this expecting TT rules really shows how much of a re...

Hello all, Firstly I'd like to say thanks and congratulations to Slitherine for delivering the first 40k game in years that is actually not an abomination of cheap mobile OS ripoffitude. I'm having a blast so far. Firstly I will touch upon the things you've done really well: Unit variety. Yesss! Thi...

Oh look, Slaarth is thread hijacking again.

Why don't you go play tabletop, you inane little human being? It's clearly what you prefer, and despite the fact it was made very clear this would not follow TT rules you are still berating it for not following TT rules?

Deal with it.

Could you take your pedantic, whining troll-posts to another forum please? The game has literally just released, if you were stupid enough to buy a game on release without proper investigation it is your own damn fault. Are you honestly lambasting this because of the name? Did you not even look at a...
