Secutarii Get 8th Edition Treatment

Companies make decisions based on their consumer's pocket books, and our hobby is no different.  In both 30k and 40k, Titan owners are more than willing to part with their hard earned money to have some infantry to protect their giant God-engines.  A few weeks back, during the Forge World stream, it was revealed that there were no plans to move the Secutarii Hoplites and Peltasts to 8th edition in 40k.  This left many 40k Titan owners who love to be thematic and fluffy in the cold, and it seems that a little frostbite was to be in Forge World's future.

 Since the indices dropped and Forge World didn't cover the Secutarii, it was only a matter of time before enough players got antsy.  Throw in that stream, and things were set for a flood of comments.  Those comments got GW and Forge World's attention, leading to this wonderful development:

It's great to see a company listening to its fan base, and better to see that it wasn't just a token effort.  These rules look pretty sharp.  What do you think?

    I quite like the Peltasts options, S3, Rapid Fire, or Assault D3 auto hit or 30in S4 AP-2 if don’t move, or -1 to hit if move, I might be tempted to use that and move.

      Sry, not auto hit, but can target things I cannot see...
