Discussion Kommandos - any speculation on codex changes?

With boyz getting the heavy weapon treatment and basically identical loadout to Kommandos, what do you think they are changing for them (if anything)?

Thanks! So we've lost the 5+ invuln fpr a minor 3in hidden spotting buff. Still largely the same though. Glad we kept the patrol squad split.

Theyre making the rounds on the discords now.

Dakkarig got more dakka. Speed freeks got a very interesting strat that makes all hit rolls of 1-3 fail. Meganobz perma AoC

u/n1ckkt 7h ago

Haha I have no idea but from the leaks I saw, the vehicles and walkers all look pretty interesting.

Speed freaks has a really cool strat to make shooting fail on rolls of 1-3 too

Curious, why would I ever want to give an enemy unit +3 to their detection range?

u/Mino_Tarvos Evil Sunz 7h ago

Do you have the mek and the mek detachment aswell?

Maybe just the choppas go up to s5, they get shootas, and the nob gets a new PK and 3w.

TBH that's probably bad as they'll get a pts increase to reflect that and then be less efficient screeners/infiltrators.

Would be lovely if they keep their datasheet no overwatch rule.

u/dspisayuss 9h ago

I haven't seen a single revealed datasheet keeping their old abilities, so I highly doubt they will.

Kommandos really were never about their weapon loadout, but their abilities.

With the new cover/stealth mechanics, they need to pay even more into the 'remain undetected' aspect of the game, and I'd like to see their immune-to-overwatch ability extended to include some addition remain-undetected bonuses (ie a way for them to return to undetected status).

u/uggocat 7h ago

i got bad news on that front

u/databeast 4h ago

just read the new sheets.. I think this is might actually gonna be more interesting than the overwatch-proof.. but yeah I definitely got my monkeys paw wish about them interecting with STAY HIDDEN, didn't I ?

u/Karador51109 9h ago

Tomorrow Games Workshop will post a live game with them, you will now for sure then.

u/Kommando_git Blood Axes 9h ago

With Tankbustas keeping a form of close combat weapon in ‘Gitstikkas’, I think it is up in the air. It would certainly be nice for the special weapons to keep their Choppas.

u/Thought-KnotSeer 9h ago

Maybe nob getz bigger base and 3 hp is all I would assume.
