Which no longer will cost only ~141. Hospitaller are apparently losing Magisters linkability, so you are looking at ~180 linked HMG link.
Sorry, does this mean MK in a Teutons fireteam, or the other way around? Also any word on a points drop for Order Sgts, or Teutons. LT option for Order Sgts or other cheap option?
MK are now teuton fillers, istead Hospitaliers fillers. But probable you still can make a full magister core. No words of cost changes or new options, the book only have fluff and sectorials lists, not profiles
Full Magister Link is also a new thing, quite the improvement actually. If the Hospitalers bite it you can't reform, now you will be able to do that.
Magister lost option to form "Magister only" link teams in HSN3. Since HSN3 they could only make fireteams if they had at least single Hospitaller or Santiago (or Fersen).
Teutons have to be dropping in cost, no way they look viable vs hospitallers or the now more utility based santiago at their current cost. Specially since the rumor is their statline doesnt change at all. The tik change and those other fire team rumors sound amazing
Zomg. This is not exactly looking good. If so the teutons will probably still be not taken (why take Teuton when you can get a Wildcart Santiago Spitfire ?o0 )
Hospitallers Hariss with an optional Santiago ? Heck even utility link with FK and OS seems interesting (and optional Black Friar).
Any hint whether the Tikbalang change is going to be ported to Acon or if there's different profiles?
I'd be surprised if this were the case. Acon's Tiks are geared for one combat doctrine, and MO's sounds like they're geared for another. Sounds separate to me, though getting that DA CCW would be pretty welcome anti-materiel, and an AP HMG would be helpful too.
I'd hope you're right, it'd help distinguish the MO one from the old one. I'm glad the MO are getting a changed Tik as it feels less like a shoehorned addition now but mines really feel right for Acon. I mean out of all the Pan O TAGs the Tik is surely the one that needs changing the least, it's not even the most unoptimised TAG in MO! Any word on the Seraph changes?
They are not the only haris. And honestly speaking the profile is in pretty dire need of a rework. Im honestly surprised this opportunity is being missed.
No clue about the Seraph. I haven't seen or heard anything to indicate changes for it. That doesn't mean there won't be some changes after all, but right now nothing's confirmed.
Yes. Honestly kind of an odd choice, now that hospitallers will be significantly cheaper, and have better stats all around, and have stealth as well. So teuton is basically a slightly worse and more expensive hospitaller that can trade itself for lower cost models. When it could instead be turned into the premium cqb knight.
