Let's do some fun detachment speculation for our new detachments
What we know so far:
- all 3 will be 1DP
- can be a remake of detachments that haven't been printed in a book. Which for us is just starshatter.
- are very small in scope, affecting a handful of specific units by name, or if they have a keyword (e.g. chaplain for dark angels), or even for a type of weapon (e.g. plasma).
- this might not be strictly true, but it seems they are targeting units that were considered more niche in 10th.
- can be fairly thematic
Some of my guesses:
- we are losing starshatter as a detachment, meaning we have no vehicle detachment. Maybe a detachment that affects only command Barge and annihilation Barge?
- a detachment for flayed ones. Giving them battleline and maybe some buff.
- a detachment for deathmarks. I'd love to see a way to make them better at assassinating enemies, maybe using the new rule for shooting from higher floors
- I keep thinking about something that buffs tesla or gauss weapons.
