First day leaks
Deathsworn Pack
Power axes and bolt pistols, okay so its a melee unit. May take Rad grenades which will hurt like hell (rad grenade -1T to enemy, Power Axe +1S to attacker, stacks). Fearless in melee, that's huge in 30k. Models all get to attack at I1 even if they die UNLESS the whole unit is wiped first. This is pure melee hate right here, total bloody hate!
Varagyr Wolf Guard Terminators
They start with Frost weapons, no surprise. If they charge OVER 6" they get a S5 HoW hit. Ok, that begs for that second RoW and some assault vehicles. Chosen Warriors lets them double as command squads. +1 to combat resolution if they kill an enemy in a challenge. Very situational.
Grey Slayers
10-20 man Troop choice. ok. 1 in 5 can take power fists (and maybe other melee weapons?). OK! THey start with CCW and pistol but can buy blotters, making them a little backwards from normal Tac squads. Then add the option for combat shields, heavy chain blades and other power weapons and we really need to see the page! This could be a basic Tac Squad that can turn into a brutal assault squad all in one unit! Can't Go to Ground (may just mean voluntarily). may charge after running or firing bolters but at -1". FUCK YOU that hurts!!!
Geigor Fellhand (Burning of Prospero)
Mastercrafted AP2 claw. Can charge after running or firing his bolter at -1". Yeah he's either leading Grey Slayers or maybe he's a replacement sergeant model for you?
Hvarl Red-blade
Up to 3 Infantry units get Scout, excellent. Has a S+2 AP2 axe that's not unwieldy and wears Tartaros Armour. This guy's been eyeballing the ultramarines.
Priest of Fenris
This replaces those Consuls you lost. You choose to be a Speaker of the Dead (Primus Medicae?)or a Caster of Runes (Librarian) and gain abilities accordingly. This is an odd step wo we'll have to see the pages to see just what exactly the thinking is behind this change.
Wolfkin of Russ
1 model units that FW just added. Have to start in 6" of Leman Russ then they do their own thing. So maybe think of them as big furry missile units.
Leman Russ
Wolf Guard and Veteran tac Squads are Troops, pretty standard. All wolves (fenrisian Wolves and Wolfkin? or all LA: Space Wolves?) gain +1Ld. Sword has AP2 and Shred. Axe is +2S AP2 Sunder, not unwieldy. Yeah just like how he looks he wants to run out there and chop up the enemy.
