New Rumors.... Astartes Vehicles to Get Chapter Tactics
New Rumors pointing out that Space Marine tanks and vehicles will be getting their own version of chapter tactics is very cool. This would be a great buff to vehicles.

Looks like Astartes vehicles will be getting chapter tactics. Little hints here and there from people in the the know.
Very happy about this. I wonder if this will be in the new codex or the next Chapter Approved.
nothing but the barest hints but the sources are as good as they get.
I imagine the same will apply to the chaos factions but at this point there are no details whatsoever, and I don't really want to press for further info
I think this might be a CA change or maybe during the next big FAQ as it would need to address multiple books simultaneously.
Just to add. The rules that apply to vehicles would be different to those that apply to the general infantry and Dreads because in some cases they don't translate well. It will be a two tier system like what Guard have, and this is probably one of the reasons it's taking so long.
Salamanders and Raven Guard CT would be fantastic on vehicles,for example.
Blood Angels or Black Templar CT would not, as the bonus is pretty insignificant due to the poor cc capability of tanks.
