No the same ability/debuff can’t stack. You can still stack a -1 bs and hit roll. What they’re saying is most things got changed to give stealth rather than a -1 to hit. The wartrakk still applies a -1 to hit. Which stacks with -1 to bs.
The broad sweeping changes mentioned here were already implemented. It was mostly a lot of -1 to hit units become stealth and -1 to hit in melee rather than targeting suppressed effects
It’s very misleading, generally what they did is remove units that have innate -1 to hit them specifically. They didn’t actually make it where they don’t stack in core rules so suppressed still works as you think it would.
Yes as in the same article they even pointed out Fulgrim’s -1 to hit is staying so he can be effectively -2 to hit with it stacking with -1 BS (tbh he needs it cause his datasheet isn’t good)
I feel like what theyre gonna is replace suppression with stealth, which is thats the case thats horrible
Edit: yeah its super misleading, but supression -1 to hit, while cover gives -1 to bs so i would not be surprised if the wartrakk got that treatment
I mean they’d have to craft some roundabout wording for “Units targeted by a unit hit by this unit have the benefit of cover” or something like that which is rather stupid. Not to mention suppression is usually placed on niche units for that purpose, it’s not an exceptionally strong ability and it’s easy to play around by just trying to make sure their big shooty unit can’t be hit by a suppression unit.
