Notes
This is the short assembly instructions stats, so it’s missing all the detailed datasheet rules.
Lots of little improvements to lethality all across the weapons options. Six of the nine weapons got improved. Many of these line up with what we’ve seen on other platforms. The standout of these changes is the very “9th Edition” trend we see in the Heavy Laser Destroyer. Its S goes up above 10, something seen extremely rarely in 8th. It moves to 12, and it’s very swingly D6 damage goes to D3+3, making it a much more reliable “big stuff” hunter. We’ve seen this concept already with the Multi-Melta, but here we see it on a stand-off weapons platform.
This brings up the big mystery – of what will GW do with the classic Las-cannon. A weapon much ignored in 8th could be rehabilitated with some changes in these directions. We will have to wait and see.
What do you think of the updated weapons, and what is going on what do you think GW will do with the las-cannon?
