• Bikes: move 8", charge or run 16", fast, multi-targeting (1), jink, +1 toughness against shooting attacks only, more resistant to ID
• Jetbikes: move like bikes, plus airborne, and draw back for Eldar
• MC’s: massive, monstrous, multi-targeting (2), relentless
• Gargantuan Creatures: 9" move, fearless (3) and a host of other rules
• Ground Vehicle: any vehicle not specified is a ground vehicle, move 6", fearless (2), hulk, intractable, multi-targeting(1), relentless
• Skimmer: move 8", same rules as ground vehicle but also airborne
• Fast Skimmer: same as skimmer but also: jink, fast
• walkers: vehicle, fearless (2), massive, multi-targeting(1), relentless
• artillery: same as above but also crew, crew members are markers that represent firing models. take one away every time the vehicle suffers an unsaved glancing or penetrating hit.
• Fortifications: same as above but also hulk and immobile

Characters

• special rule: covering fire: Character forgoes shooting to allow unit to have one directed shot if the unit rolls at least 3, 6s to hit.
• Characters allow their unit to regroup in the consolidation phase. No mention to minimum unit sizes.
• Characters have directed hit rule in HtH and shooting!
• Characters can either be a squad leader or an IC.
• Squad leaders are really important. They determine characteristic tests, facing for shooting at vehicles, seeing if the enemy unit is in cover, point blank range, etc.
• If squad leader dies, another model takes his/her place.
• IC’s can not join vehicles or MCs/GCs unless they are of the same unit type. 

Psykers

• Psykers can perform one “power” type action per level of mastery. Mastery goes from one to 6. Humans rarely exceed 3, Eldar or Daemons rarely exceed 5.
• All psykers level 1 unless specified otherwise. 1 power per level, can’t be duplicate power unless otherwise specified.
• Perils on 2 or 12, critical hit. No mention of rerolling successful invul saves.
• Psyker squads are cleared up. One model counts as using the power.
• Any psyker can attempt to stop a power, works on a 5+ so long as the defender is not in a vehicle and within 24?

Vehicles

• No vehicles can go up levels in a building anymore, even walkers.
• Terrain checks for every piece of terrain moved through.
• Hitting a Vehicle in HtH is different. If vehicle moves, they are WS10, if they hold still, WS0.
• “Tank” type vehicles get -1 to the damage table. Leman Russ, hoooo!
• Super heavies: -3 on the damage table.
• weapon destroyed is -1 to multi-targeting. Reduced to 0 can only fire one weapon. reuced to -1, can’t shoot.
• Immobilized 2 times = dead.
• Explodes is now d6" radius. All units in range, or that were embarked roll a d6 for as many models as were hit. On a 6, the unit takes a critical hit. Exploded vehicles leave no debris behind.
• wrecks are a 5+, difficult, dangerous
• hull breach: for every additional stunned or immobilized result in the same phase, the damage is 1 higher. Ouch.
• skimmers that are immobilized hit the ground off their base, and models underneath move out of the way.
• Sqaudrons: any stunned, shaken, immobilized result ignored on a 5+ with +1 for each vehicle in the squadron. If test is failed, each vehicle in the squadron suffers the result.
• smoke=5+ cover
• dangerous terrain=roll d6, on a 6, vehicle suffers penetrating hit. only invul save to stop
• repair rules got WAY better: on a 5+, repairing model removes a shaken, stunned, immobile or weapon destroyed result. Or, can boost the vehicle with the same role to add a level of multi-targeting! Techmairnes and Techpriests just got waaaaay cooler.
