Hi…
Sorry for my absence, I just haven’t really had much to post
about and well, the internet has kinds of otherwise sucked me in. But now I
have something important to share.
I was looking through the FAQ changes for the Black Templars and, right around those small changes to the transport options for Command Squads and Terminators I suddenly noticed that Drop Pods weren’t mentioned. I looked at the codex and had a small panic attack when I saw that Drop Pods were never given as an option on any of the units, nor was such a choice mentioned in the Dedicated Transports section.

Then I remembered that it was in the Drop Pod Assault entry
on page 22 and I went back and verified that yes, Dreadnoughts, Terminators and
Initiates can take Drop Pods. Except that they can’t anymore. Games Workshop
has made a huge bungle and now there is no line in the codex which allows any
unit to take Drop Pods, because they replaced the entire Drop Pod Assault
entry.
It isn’t that the new Drop Pod Assault rules ruin the
competiveness of Drop Pod lists now; they completely negate any legal ability
to field them! Fortunately, I’ve still only got two of them.
In other news, once I am able to get a 6th edition rule book, I will likely be doing some posts about my thoughts on the changes and possibly the changes I will be making to the lists I have. I will also eventually try to give some indication of how I did in the local Escalation League that ended last month, so look forward to those.
