There are some new rule previews from Octarius book!

[windwalkerranger]

Google it and enjoy. YT channel auspex tactics already has a good video. Most are for leviathan only.

Interesting ones: A new relic bonesword/mnstr bonesword which ignores invul saves, -2ap.
A new warlord trait that gives one infantry, beast or swarm unit reroll to hit (activated in your command phase), 9" range. Ranged and melee attacks all.
There are some other nits and bits.
What do you think of that? Why leviathan only!?

First impression - Synaptic Hive Blades - applies to models with Boneswords and Monstrous Boneswords - shows model of Swarmlord with Bonesabres! Well done GW - LOL

Also - Monstrous Boneswords (two of them) - an option that doesn't exist in the Hive Tyrant box without some degree of conversion or proxying with a Bonesabre

Anyway - jokes aside - regarding the rules - looks promising!

Trying to digest it all (no-pun) - definitely makes you think twice about having that 2nd adaptive physiology though and losing your warlord trait - those are some nice traits!

Very glad I went for a custom-paint scheme - I'm now Leviathan until the codex drops   I agree though, don't like it faction locked.

Thinking of dropping the dermic symbiosis on my Tervigon and instead using the 'alpha leader beast' to take x2 warlord traits - Gestalt Commander + Swarm Leader.

The Gestalt Commander to give access to Hydra's: Endless Regeneration Trait (thinking that wouldn't be bad on a 14 wound model to get wounds back on 6's every turn) and Swarm Leader to give my Tyranid Warriors full rerolls to hit (shooting and melee!) every turn.

Aww I quickly checked the first post and saw no indication of the news, so I assumed... closing this thread, then.
Edit: can't find how to do it?

Ask moderator yoritomo, he can do it.

Am I the only one who is a little underwhelmed thus far?

I am pretty happy with what I've seen so far, no duds. Well, maybe the Neuro's synaptic ability, but that doesn't matter. A Neurothrope is our No.1 HQ pick already, other HQs need buffs first.

Dynamic camo a 30 man gaunt squad, broodlord for counter charging and fighting alongside a superior hq (HT with ignore invuln and murderous size) only tradeoff is no WLT on the tyrant so the broodlord (I'm not convinced the 1cp ability is prime only, but a "2nd warlord" strat that other armies got) can give its light cover save to the gaunts who would then be 4+ in the open, grant them full rerolls to hit and if you can manage a feel no pain for 5+fnp instead of a 6+ only backfire is ignore cover.
