| If they do I really hope they become good infiltrators like alpha legion and nurglins and not like the ratlings or sentinels who are so bad in comparison. |

I dont think this is going to happen at all, im sure they are getting a small points decrease and some of their old better rules back. |

It would be nice for them to be able to benefit from cover in some way. Maybe a +2 to the cover instead of the standard +1 would be fluffy. Not that I'd care about that too much. My main goal would be to get them into CC as soon as they arrive. _________________ Kabal of the Green Hair

| What they need is their invulnerable save to get affected by cover. Because those shadows can be hiding in ruins or dancing naked in the middle of a futuristic highway without a single difference. |

^ This. Also, I wouldn't be too surprised if they were given something like the Striking Scorpions' shadowstrike ability, to represent them popping out of the shadows and ambushing enemies who are trying to hide in cover. |

| Here's one greatly improved unit : the Lhamaean
Exact same thing as before now at 15 points down from 18 with Chapter Approved. EXCEPT, with the new generic poison rule they have +2 to wound (equating poison 2+) BUT where it gets fun is that their old 6+ to wound MW now procs on 4+... Roll out with Poisoned Tongue (bonus points for fluff) and enjoy. |

Not only was I not expecting yet another points decrease (honestly, why even both with the court in chapter approved GW?) but you are sure they didn't do something silly like make the mortal wound proc on like an 8+, or an unmodified 6? |

| Where did you see that the Lhamaean's mortal wounds proc on 4+? That's crazy powerful if so, especially if they are down to 15 points. That's 60 points for a squad which will shred through anything which relies on invulnerable saves. |

| IF they keep the "roll of 6 = mortal wound", and IF their "poison 2+" becomes "poison, +2 to wound" (like the stinger pistol), then yes, they proc MW on 4+. |

For what it's worth regarding the "crazy powerful" do remember that (unless they changed...) they have but 2 attacks a piece, less than a wych now. Plus if the other rumor/reveals hold true, in tournament matched play you can field an absolute maximum of 12 and that's if you field 3 kabal detachments. And while they are 3 wounds and characters, they also only rely on a 5+ armour save and a 6+ aftersave for defense otherwise meaning one is far easier to kill in close combat than 3 wyches. Otherwise yeah, super awesome sounding.

| I'll be honest I'm not 100% sure if it's 6+ or 6 unmodified but if it's the first... oh boy, the character assassination potential is off the charts. |

Well, that's kinda what they're supposed to be specialized in, fluffwise. Incidentally, I painted my first lhamaean last night, so I'm happy to see that. |

You can take so much more. 3 Battalions = up to 3*6 elite slots + up to 4 per Archon, so 4*3*3 = 36 You can take 54 lhamaean in a 3 battalion list. Of course, nobody would ever want to do this, but this is just to point out that there is no real limit. |

| I'm a little skeptical of their ability being changed to mortal wounds on a +4, especially as that would affect all venom blades which archons can take now. Will have to wait on that until the codex is in hand. _________________ The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors...

Venom blades, unless they've been changed, don't have the ability to dish out MW. |

Lhamaeans carry Shaimeshi Blades, not Venom Blades. |

| I have the codex, the rule for the Lhamaean is "poisoned weapon, add 2 to wound unless it is targeting a vehicle. For each wound roll of 6+ (other than vehicle), target suffer an additional mortal wound"
So... 4+, right? |

So... 4+, right? And they're 15 points? Forget the SSLYTH PARTY BUS I'm going with a LLHAMAEAN PARTY SEDAN with an Archon and his concubine riding a Venom. _________________ "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."

| Any word on the rest of the Court? Are Ur-Ghuls worth taking for once? _________________ "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."
