I'm speechless on this reveal:


Okay on a table top, as long as there is not much terrain.

What annoys me about that is how small the wheels are (or how low the ground clearance is, if you prefer). 

That's not an ATV, it's a go-kart!

I like the vehicle but it should be an Arbites or IG local defense force.  It certainly doesn't seem likely to handle dropping in or going off road.

Maybe it's intended for all golf-course terrain?
So it's actually an AGCTV.

They have flying marines with heavy weapons. Why would they need an ATV?

Some  lol lol lol responses there.

There are aspects of that "ATV" I quite like. But overall something looks off. Maybe the wheels and ground clearance or those side panels...

Anyone else thinking of meshing Gaslands and Mario Kart using them?
Yearly painting challenges only show me how useless I am at painting...

Swap the Marines for some Copplestone gang guys, enclose the driver a bit and this vehicle might just work for Gaslands.  Tad more expensive than your normal Hotwheels build though.   lol

This might cause a bit of a ripple in the world of 40k gaming.

Quote
The first and biggest change is that Overwatch has shifted from a standard reaction to a Core Stratagem, costing 1 Command point to perform. As Stratagems can only be used once per phase, you’ll have to think long and hard about your odds of success. For example, Aggressors armed with flamestorm gauntlets are sure to roast some of the attackers, whilst a half-strength Astra Militarum squad may struggle to cause enough damage to warrant the cost. 



So it's essentially limited to a once per phase stratagem that costs 1cp. I think this actually makes for a nice tactical option, there are some other things that work in combination with it eg;



So I think this may mean people look more closely at unit composition and their role on the battlefield. Flamers and other auto hitting weapons will now favour units designed to take and hold objectives or to hold positions such as flanks.

They have dealt with the one real issue I had with 8th which means this may be the first edition of 40k in about 15 years that I'll actually play more than two games of. It certainly does look like they are trying to encourage games to involve more movement and less static gunlining.
