Assault Intercessor Squad Datasheet Changes - normanthesquid/wh40k-fundapocalypse GitHub Wiki

The Assault Intercessor Squad Datasheet was constructed by comparing the Intercessor Squad, Reiver Squad, Tactical Squad, and Assault Squad.

The end result is a datasheet that is the midpoint of the Intercessor and Reiver datasheets:

  • Uses the general Primaris Squad statline
  • Has Chainswords instead of Reiver Blades or Close Combat Weapons (the chainswords are still x3 attacks)
  • Has Heavy Bolt Pistols instead of Bolt Rifles.
    • Range has been increased to 18", to match 9e.
    • Attacks has been changed to "User", to match other squad pistols.
      • The Reiver datasheet has the Heavy Bolt Pistols as 1 instead of User, which seems incorrect. We do not intend to fix probably obvious errors like this at this time.
    • Overall, this is not a perfect comparison - in 9e. Reivers now have "Special Issue Bolt Pistols", which are 12", but AP -2. Oh well.
  • Uses the general Primaris PL - 6 for 5, 12 for 10.

There are some debatable parts here but we think it gives the assault intercessors a tiny little niche between Intercessors and Reivers. For the same PL as Reivers they have slightly better shooting and Objective Secured but they don't have Terror Troops or the additional wargear options Reivers have.
