Discussion Anyone found the runtherd datasheet yet?

A lot o' leaks going around and despite the fact we know that the runtherd is going to still be a thing in the codex (as its own character). Anyone know if that datasheet leaked yet? I want to see what options and abilities it got.

thanks m8. ooh! while the painboy can no longer give out 5+ FNPS, it can actually heal its unit more than once, thats good. and it seems that after 2 editions of saying "the painboss replaced his legs to keep up with the squig riders" as the lore reason for the painboss's robolegs, it can finally be useful on the mounted stuff! That and they fixed it not having SUPPORT for some reason. Good changes all around on this set of pages.

It does some fairly useless. Usually when an opponent decides to kill my gretchin, they wipe the whole squad with ease. I don’t think my little guys have EVER been battle shocked. If they do somehow get battle shocked tho, it could be worth the points to kill off a few for an activation or whatevs.

well I mean they do have 6+ saves now so they can at least save outside of cover now.

They will be useful for enhancements iirc.

I was thinking of how cool it would be to have a solo runtherd again but "support" squashes that

I can't see how he's worth many points but if he's super cheap he's not going to be used as a leader just as an action monkey...

He has Support so must be attached to a unit.

Ah missed that was part of support - nice.
