And models can even attempt to hide themselves. And you can shoot in melee but have a chance of hitting your own dude. Hand-to-hand is quite complicated if you can't do basic addition ; essentially, someone charges, both of you roll a number of dice corresponding to your attack value, pick the highest of those rolls, and then add your weapon skill and any modifiers.
This is your Combat Score. The difference between the two scores is the number of times that the fighter with the higher combat score gets to hit the other fighter, with ties being broken by initiative scores, or the headbutt skill.
Parries complicate the matter, as if you have a guy with a weapon capable of parrying, and your opponent rolls a dice higher than yours, you can force him to reroll it with your parry, unless he has a weapon with parry as well, in which case you cancel each other out. Note that if you have two weapons with parry i.
Note that not only can you use pistols in close combat like regular 40k, but you actually use the pistol's damage profile, which makes some of them quite nasty. The game takes place on Armageddon during the Third War of Armageddon, which, as you may recall was fought between Orks and 'umies exclusively.
Main setting is a place called 'The Promethium Sprawl'--a series of maintenance areas and promethium refineries that runs throughout the hive world. If you're playing a campaign, at the end of the game roll a D6 on the injury table to see if your wounded fighters get back up, advance, suffer serious injury, or die outright. You can then choose one fighter to advance, each unit has certain skill trees he can go down, pick one of these lob a D6 and boom new skill.
You then get points to upgrade living models or recruit new ones. You either spend these points now or lose them. If you win you get D3 'promethium cache' if you lose you get 1. The cache's can be spent to bring a Special Operative to your next game this is the only way to actually field non-scout Astartes OR can be traded in for another points.
Also, you need them to win the campaign. Some special operatives offer 'Bounty' or 'Premium Bounty' these are usually stuff like Terminators. A normal bounty offers 1 promethium cache for killing the unit, a premium bounty offers D3 promethium cache's on top of your whatever you got at the end. Considering that ALL special operatives only cost 1 cache it's worth buying the best SO you can get and running it at whatever your opponent is bringing since you'll probably make a profit and then you can just rinse and repeat.
As a final note, this game thrives upon large amounts of terrain, so if you don't have any then you might want to get some if you want to play. Expect most games to be over in turns between the SM scouts and the Orks.
This is not necessarily true as it heavily depends on how much terrain you have, how each player plays do you run at them or move around cover - tip: use cover and of course, how quickly does stuff die since you might hit, wound, and he fails his armour save but he can then just get straight back up next turn.

Disappointed that they only included the Ordo Xenos.
They'd only need to change a few wargear options around in order to fit every Ordo. Even then, I would have liked to see Executioner Greatblades or at least Eviscerators made available to Inquisitors. Similarly, the lack of availability of power armour to everyone throws a wrench in my plans and my conversions, but I'll live. Elbows wrote: So, question for everyone.
Also, does anyone find it amusing that GW likes to skip around all the Deathwatch stuff, with them being made available as special agents all over the place, but still refuse to give them an actual kill team in a ruleset that's basically tailor made for them? I have no interest in the Deathwatch myself, but man, it must feel like a real kick in the teeth for those that do care. I was hoping for a hardback book.

I would have thought if anything lasguns would have been the only option, but not autoguns. Not even laspistols in the pistols either. Well I guess the acolytes I've built with hot shot lasguns will have to be rolled into an Imperial Guard kill team instead. That said, I'm really tempted go to town on a radical ordo Xenos team. Those Kharadrons are begging to be added as a squat merc acolyte. Edit: Well I guess I should have read the list more closely.
Still happy they have a bunch of basic weapon options though! You can never beat your first time. The second generation is shinier, stronger, faster and superior in every regard save one, and it's an unfair criticism to level, but it simply can't be as original.

Though Carapace armor is an odd omission, considering when GW tends to show models that are 'Warrior Acolytes' they tend to be wearing it.
I think when I get home from work i may email them about that. Check out my modeling and painting blog, filled with Inquisimunda, Necromunda, Warhammer, and more! Inq models are extremely specific with what they have. Last I check GW doesn't like to have rules for models that don't exist. Logic says that GW should, in theory, be hording a multi kit for henchmen. But this is GW..
The Inquisition rules are not bad, though missing carapace armour upgrade for the acolytes. Pretty amusing that inquisitors get plasma and needle pistols but not inferno pistols, yet Inferno is the one modeled on the figure - guess he's a Ordo Hereticus guy. Kinda miss the lack of servitors - not for the current models but the conversion opportunity. Dravis wrote: The Inquisition rules are not bad, though missing carapace armour upgrade for the acolytes.

The Inq list is pretty interesting. The theme seems to be a tough core of the Inq and his Specialist bodyguard supported by lighter operatives. Crusaders translate as nicely into Stormtroopers as they do actual Crusaders. I guess we are meant to use Guards as the New Recruit and Trooper mooks but I'd rather not. TBH really sick of the Cadian kit. Inapt euphemism there, HBMC.
