What do we think of this? How might it influence the "meta" or help / hurt 40k?
-
Basically they made battle brothers MUCH more uncommon. Now the only battle brothers are Eldar/Dark Eldar and Daemons/CSM.
I think it will help competitive 40k by cutting down on the amount of abusive combinations that are possible to assemble and difficult for GW to foresee (interactions between different codexes written by different people at different times).
-
Oops, just noticed that all imperial armies (which is half the armies) are now in one box, and are therefore ALL battle brothers with each other. So, reverse what I just said above, I guess.
Of course, this is all affected by what battle brothers actually means in 6th (do we know that yet?)

From what I heard basically the same except they can embark on each other's transports. Hmm Orks can't ally with any imperial armies anymore. Makes that rumored codex Blood Axes slightly more feasible.
-
Almost all Imperial armies were already Battle Brothers with each other anyways, so what difference does that make? Also notice that everyone can Battle Brother ally with their own codex, which was the exact opposite last edition.

Every army except Dark Eldar was Battle Brothers with its own codex last time. This doesn't say you can ally with your own codex.

Actually, you can not ally with your own codex in 6th edition, unless you had some goofy supplement. Check the chart again, everyone had a blank for their own codex.
As for the chart, it makes a lot more sense. Fluffwise, never understood why Imperials were BB with any Xenos anyway. And I do like that Orks can ally with themselves...because MOAR ORKS is always good.

I predict a rise in Tyranid players, being able to field 3 Hive Tyrants and 4 Carnifexes will bring some serious pain to the meta scene lol

My dark eldar would love to see this!
-
Actually all imperial armies being bros is a pretty big change...
GK's went from having no battle brothers to having 8
Sisters of battle went from one (IG) to 8
etc.

How is that a big change? Looks more like a shuffle
-
How about we compromise and call it a "big shuffle"?

you can already do this if people let you play skyblight. and while i'm not playing fexes, having 3 tyrans plus a pile of other monsters IS awesome.

I can't, because all space marine codices have very similar (if not identical) units.. so I really don't see any big impact to the meta in that regard.

I agree with this for the most part. Some of the differences is that different librarians from different chapters have access to divination, and some don't... However, since we don't know the new powers at the moment I can't really speculate on how this change will affect the armies much, if at all.

Divination for all (except Orks), evidently.

Interesting the Santic lore is a mix of some of the existing Grey Knight powers, which is now available to everyone except Daemons. Biomancy received MASSIVE buffs
-
Allies can get in each others' transports now...

That makes me kind of excited about Sisters Repentia again (a unit which I always beat my head against the wall trying to get them to work). Being the ultimate in hitting power combined with the ultimate in fragility, they just need an assault vehicle really bad. Now that Adepta Sororitas are battle bro's with every space marine chapter, they can jump in an allied land raider or storm raven.

So does that mean we can now put khorne dogs in the back seat of a Chaos minivan?
