Combat Camo change is good. It makes it more viable. I want to see what they do with Impersonation

And as Turlisk pointed out on FB, what does that mean for attacks from smoke?

I doubt we're going to be getting anything on smoke until N3 actually comes out since no model in Op:Icestorm has the option for any degree of smoke, afaik. At least, not unless CB wants to be nice and let us know beforehand.

You do realize I have Icestorm. I've left some subtle hints

Hmmm Spitfire loses +3 from 0-8 Are they trying to make shotguns actually useful?

Off the bat, the shotgun changes things. In the vid he says ALL shotguns get this. Not just boarding. This is a big boost to some troops who were thought to have a useless addition. Seed soldiers in particular. It's still going to be hard to get them into that range, but it's still a nice bonus.

HMGS are +3 at 16"+. That hurts.

They're definitely trying to move away from the big guns having the dominate stats at 0-16".
Probably not a bad move. Actually makes it worthwhile to engage an enemy HMG at 0-8".

True, being sneaky will pay off.
Though it seems like shotguns and combirifles will be the only good close guns. Maybe the light shotgun tax will be worth it now.

Still not sold on the shotgun when paired with a combirifle--situational at best (IE, when you have targets that can be hit by the spread).
But Rifle/Light Shotgun? definitely a good option to choose from 0-8".

Even with my Combi/LS (Seed Soldiers) I'd probably take the LS. 2 shots at +6 ea. over 3 at +3 ea. Though If I caught someone in the open and they didn't have LoS I guess I'd rather the 3.

Whoah--totally missed the +6 at 0-8.
Time for new glasses, I guess.
Yeah, that actually makes it a game changer. Not to mention a scary proposition for a camo'd troupe to decide if he's going to reveal/attack knowing that the +6 invalidates the camo bonus.

Shotguns might be useful. Though Ghulams are still cheerleaders.
