With the new edition, comes some new codexes! Games Workshop announced last week that there were new faction books coming in the future. With this we got some very interesting new rules for equipment in a sneak peak for some of the Astartes and Imperial weapons;
First off, is the multi-melta. Even in the 8th edition, it was overpowered for not just anti-tank weaponry but pretty much anti-everything weaponry so long as you were in the range to hit something. Even better the closer you got! 
At close range the melta is now getting a flat +2 damage bonus, meaning the total damage can be up to 8! While already at a Strength stat of 8, any characters or vehicles beware!
The other stat change to weaponry affects Heavy Bolters! Now your hailing of firepower against the enemy will be even greater as it now causes 2 damage! Finally the effect of being hit by a reactive, armour penetrating shell the size of a red bull can, will be felt across the table-top.
So there you have it, two weapon re-works for the Astartes - which is one of the two new Codexes on the way (Necrons being the other).
Which codex would you like to see next and which stats would you like to see change for your chosen faction(s)?
We'd love to hear about what you guy think on our facebook post!
