....aaand, still with vehicles (via the new FAQs), you can take a squad of 10 Marines and a Rhino, Combat Squad (which you still have to do at deployment), and both 5-man squads can ride the Rhino together, counting as separate units. When you disembark both squads, they are and act separately... proper Black Hawk Down stylee  :thumbsup:
"Sanguinius. It should have been him. He has the vision and strength to take us to victory, and wisdom to rule once victory is won. For all his aloof coolness, he alone has the Emperor's soul in his blood. Each of us carries part of our father - Sanguinius holds it all." Horus

Jump Infantry have an interesting dynamic now:

- Move 12" in the Movement Phase (using it's Jump Pack), charge 2D6" in Assault.
- Move 6" in the Movement Phase (not using the Jump Pack), charge 2D6" with a re-roll for using it's Pack and getting the Hammer of Wrath rule (single S4, AP- hit per model in B2B with the enemy).

I like the way the new rules are giving you more options and dynamism for your units in terms of what they can do, also making you think a lot more about your tactics  :thumbsup:

Yeah, loving the idea of multiple small Vet units in Valks touching down and splitting off in different directions.

Very cinematic!!

Only Marines can Combat Squad, and Battle Brother allies can never embark on each other's transport vehicles. (It's also worth noting with this rule that it states "transport" vehicles, not "dedicated transport" vehicles. This then covers things like Land Raiders and Storm Ravens, depending what flavour you like to run).

At night he prances about like some sort of bearded West Country metalhead pixie, planting pink horrors in peoples' army cases and cackling while chanting his mantra, 'it's double sixes my love, take them off, just take them all off'
