I'd be very surprised if you'll miss guard at all : I doubt they'll really go anywhere. Also Finial always required that: the removed bit is the ignore hit mods.

Brood swarm got hit hard. You noe only get points for having more models in your deploy, no man's land, and the opponent's deployment. We no longer get a bonus if we get them all nor a bonus for more models on the board. Not sure if it'll cripple GSC but it will make scoring for them harder.

i mean,guard was painful to me cause of the huge bomb of damage it dealt before, and the nerf to finial is nice, also i get to adapt with double cover now if i see them, ultra stonks xD

Nice that they finally restored one of the most lore appropriate and balanced mechanics in being able to swap out adaptives, we’ll get to use it for what, 6 months total?
I suppose we should be grateful

I think we had 3 months at the beginning of our codex before it got balanced out. Now we get another 3 months at the end of our codex.

Guard relic used to ignore negative hit modifiers and wound ignoring abilities. The negative hit modifiers was very useful to move Heavy weapons around. No more.

I can see the 1x Walking Tyrant w/ Adaptive Biology making a small comeback. The adaptive change… not sure if that really helps anyone besides behemoth. Getting to choose between a 6” pregame move if going first or Camo/TI if going second is really nice. Base adaptive Levi/Gorgon lists want the rr too much to change. I guess Swarm Levi can do 6” pregame or fallback/shoot, so some minor flexibility there.

Edit: Monster mash might get the most out of the change; TI when obsec is needed and count as double wounds when obsec doesn’t matter.

I'm probably dense but I can't find anything in the balance slate about anything other than rules for bodyguards, Leviathan FNP, Reaper of Obliterax and Spore Mines? Where's the warlord and adaptive stuff?

They removed the lines forcing the HT to be Warlord, losing Imperatives if Warlord isn't on the field, and having to pick adaptive before the game from the sheet, their omission is the un-nerf. It is unfortunate they don't make it clear they removed something compared to the preceding BDS.

I was dense then, thanks!
