So I've trawled through my new 8th ed Space Marine Codex and I cannot find any reference to the abilities of the Auspex Scanner
Am I missing something somewhere ?
There is even a Primaris Marine in the "easy for the "Assembly Challenged" to build set" modelled with one
Yet no function in te game that I can see.
So I'm consulting the collecting intelligence of "The Guard Board" for help.

It looks cool.
That's it. There's a strategem that's called Auspex Scan, but there's no indication it needs to be used by a unit equipped with one. The Auspex, like most ancillary, non-weapon wargear, was pruned away as part of an effort to simplify the game and remove USRs.

Cheers Reds
That's what I was thinking. Not sure if I'm dissapoiinted or not but now I have a use for them.
I'll be using them to identify an Ancient.
Because Banners are for the parade ground ... not the battlefield.

Before it used to give -1 cover save to target unit within 12", if it hit.
Was going to give one to my new captain (built for 7th) but ran out of pts

It's a shame it's gone.
I glad the game got streamlined but I do think we've lost a lot of good stuff in the cull.

They have been tasked with burying all the auspex units that aren't filled with cement.

They're not still in there? My codex arrived yesterday but I basically went to sleep as soon as I came back from work, so I haven't had a chance to look through it.
If not, then we're looking at one of three options.
- They're becoming a new faction. See the teaser from GW's community today, with a skull face made from an Imperial Aquila. This may herald new models (and probably Primaris legion of the damned or something similarly stupid).
- They're being folded into another codex, like they were with Imperial Agents.
- They're a "use out of the index only" option now, like the Terminus Ultra or the Imperial Space Marine.

...sooooo what's the vox caster do now? That get tossed out with the auspex scanner? it extends the range of orders, you can find it in the squad entries in the codex (infantry, veteran, scion, etc.) |
