taken from a post on bolter and chainsword that took it form warseer, these are confirmed.

1. Emporer's champion required in batles of 750 pts or more

2. EC no longer has iron halo, He has armor of faith 2+ and 4 + invuln in combat. He is now S6 and he can only challenge Independent characters. He has more attacks now base 3A I believe he said.

3. EC buys the vows and they are added to his points. example hit on 3+ is 5X pts. and whole army gets it.

4. Rightious zeal is now only D6 movement forward, but is caused by passing a morale check from shooting. This encourages High marshals for that high Leadership. any causualty taken causes a check. but must be towards nearest enemy unless accompanied by a chaplain then it can be directed.

5. 20 man squads for troops, 10 neophyts 10 initiates.

6. sword bretheren elite choice. alot like vets. a few different weapon options and can take storm shields or combat shields. which is the same options for assault squads. Also sword bretheren can take vet skills. but instead of tank hunters may take counter attack.


i like the new zeal, the if assault squads can get lightning claws....mmmmm......tasty....
