The 10th edition Genestealer Cults Codex is out and we have some leaks that allow us to deep dive into the codex and explore the Metamorph Hybrids. These were a unit that I struggled to use in the GSC Index but now that the Codex is coming, I have found GSC victory. Metamorphs vs Acolyte Hybrids and Metamorphs vs Aberrants, maybe the metamorphs are now better than both? #WeWillRise

It's fun to see how the Metamorph meta morphs.

@aseofspades4802 27 дней назад

Honestly I expect the "all auto pistol" condition to get faqed to "if this unit has no hand flamers" which was clearly the intention

@kevinbehan2625 27 дней назад

The Cult Icon in the Metamorphs not having an autopistol and thusly not allowing the 6" move seems like such an outrageously clever bit of game design that I can only assume it wasn't their intention, and we get a FAQ clarifying that characters + icon holder don't count against the 6" move.

@Dan_Tasty 27 дней назад

Lmao, happy accident

@cranjusmc.baskettball5177 26 дней назад

100% at least there is an FAQ later

@josepholivarez1281 27 дней назад

I appreciate not immediately screaming doom and gloom whenever a nerf drops. Balance is a very fluid thing in 40k, especially 10th.

@Dan_Tasty 27 дней назад

12:14 "assuming you're not wiped out in one go" applies to the pistol squad as well, 6" broodsurge won't help if you're dead. At least with the flamers and icon you can get the models back that triggered the broodsurge so they can actually fight. Always put the banner in the very front and you won't lose movement by removing casualties then you can add 1" to your movement when you resurrect a model. In xenocreed detachment they can also take incendiary inspiration on their iconward or biophagus friend to advance & charge with rerolls on both which is extra movement not reliant on your opponent's decisions

@Rukdug 27 дней назад

Honestly, I'm happy with the way the Metamorphs have been improved. I also really like that the Broodsurge ability really makes you think about what weapons you're going to take, and feels like a better way of balancing weapon options compared to what they did with the Acolytes. If weapons and wargear remain free, then having useful unit abilities get better if you don't max out those weapon and wargear options feels like the way to go.

@doubleshadowstar 27 дней назад

Really appreciated this video. A bright spot of hope and what sounds like a fun direction that I can start building my Acolyte boxes into now.

@crsmith6226 27 дней назад

I think that “every model in the unit” rule needs an faq to not include characters attached to the unit. Personally I don’t like them not being able to do all autopistols and have a flag. I like flags. They’re pretty.

@johnj.spurgin7037 27 дней назад

Nah, not happening. They explicitly built a rule into the Ministorum priest to give them the relevant ability of the unit they join.

@Lirretobb 27 дней назад

(having a bunch of _kairic_ acolyte bodies knocking around) I really appreciate how the writers have given some value to all of the arm pieces on the Acolyte Hybrids sprue!

@CrimsonTemplar2 27 дней назад

Interesting perspective. Mr. Tabletop Impulse sent me.

@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber 27 дней назад

Nice!

@GeneralJerrard101 27 дней назад

I shelved GSC this edition because they started out good and popular, but now that they are not, I'm seeing all these gsc videos, and I have so many builds for them I want to do, I think I am ready to bring them back. I can't wait to use my super cool abbera-... Ok I guess these Votann hybrids are going to be metamorphs now.

@dondongman 27 дней назад

Are you telling me the morphs are meta?

@emilefortier1688 26 дней назад

Excellent video as always. Btw, you're on the most recent Poorhammer episode !

@darkjak565 26 дней назад

I appreciate your level-headed approach to all these changes. I'm new to the army and extremely far from competitive. Kitchen table games with friends are the absolute extent of my 40k skill, but I've always liked trying to understand fun strategies or solid combinations. Seeing all the doom and gloom on the codex changes is hard as a new GSC player because part of me feels like I just wasted money, but discussions like this remind me that we just need to try new things in the meantime.

@RaptorianxdReviews 27 дней назад

I like Metamorphs, pretty excited for how fun they seem!

@little_isalina 26 дней назад

i got 10 acolytes with hand flamers, 3 heavy mining weapons and 1 demo charge. Because I was strapped for resources to fully equip them, what with most of them coming from the deathwatch box (the weapons came from one acolyte box that i assembled as metamorphs). Now that squad is illegal. All because of the lack of a points system. So either i get chopping to turn this into one playable squad or two playable small squads (although i dont have the parts for a leader left because i converted the excess models into characters). Or I get another 5 or 10 acolytes and make this two squads with all the needed parts... Or i don't touch anything and wait for 11th edition to invalidate whatever everyone is doing with their armies now.

@talonrooney5558 27 дней назад

When taking Hazzardous tests you can also pull out of engagement range. Thus limiting melee reprisal.

@ElTheJono 27 дней назад

What makes you think the Abominant is female?

@Dan_Tasty 27 дней назад

If you attach a character to your metamorphs without the scout ability, start them in a truck like we used to in 9th ed. They won't get the massive leap ahead from 9th but 3" more is not bad especially when the fellas are so fast (in xenocreed especially). Then embark your brain boy & neophytes before moving the truck up. Metamorphs with an iconward can scout the truck now (still not the rockgrinder unless that changes) so that seems great, but if you want them with biophagus or nexos hop out the truck

@aligaterr5137 27 дней назад

The metamorph datasheet seems really well designed now (maybe the cult icon is not intendedb though?), I hope they continue to balance wargear options by spliting profiles and adding wargear abilities.

Man, I was going to run my Goliaths as Aberrants. Guess I'll have to model them for Metamorphs instead :(

@dainepalinkas5787 24 дня назад

That change on the Icon is awful. At the end of the movement phase allowed us to shrug off part of the risk of overwatch.

@jackobanter4031 27 дней назад

I was bummed with the codex. I knew we were getting a nerf as pretty much every army with a cod3x takes a win rate hit when it comes out, but why the trucks?? But now I'm sold on the metamorph hype. Love a scott mechanized type list and it feels very viable with metamorphs now.

@jackobanter4031 27 дней назад

@spruceforester3038 27 дней назад

Which do you think is better for a Broodsurge metamorphs lead by a Biophagus or acolytes lead by a Biophagus?

@ChristianVonCarmian40kVtuber 27 дней назад

both would be nice in the army. But the biophagus won't boost the acolytes anti-vehicle part of their mining tools. Maybe combat acolytes are best

@ThroatSore 27 дней назад

Autopilots or not autopilots and a banner but no surge? No needless complicationhere then?

Those chubby hammer wielding freaks smashed up my land raider last game.....not cool man. P.S. I was fighting the new detachment that gets the bonus to charge range.

@simonmorley4816 22 дня назад

Yeah, this makes sense, but i still dont think the metamorphs are a good unit. Giving them the 4+FNP MIGHT help, but theyre an elite T4 unit with a 5+ save and only 1 wound each. That never goes well. Unless they are aggressively costed they wont fit well. Taking 3x10 of these, they are probably gonna die to incidental fire and the meta is HEAVILY skewed to vehicles. Without the ability to swing up at T6+, they are a side pick at best

@simonmorley4816 22 дня назад

I mean, I hole that the changes inbound do address the meta by significantly increasing the cost of vehicles to disincentivise spamming them, and making it so that vehicles cannot do actions unless they're a walker - but I doubt it somehow. Vehicles, especially chaos ones, are simply too efficient and tough to not take, so long as they're on the tougher end. All those 2+ or 3+ saves, T10+, etc It's impossible to play a decent Cultist hoard into

@whitegohst33 6 дней назад

I was never happy with the detachments were when they were released. I didn't see anyone being happy with it. Sounds a bit out to lunch to say

@cranjusmc.baskettball5177 27 дней назад

This writer team should be fired

@Zabzim 27 дней назад

The writer team works from the state of the faction when they write the codex which at the beginning of 9th saw sisters are being really weak and GSC being super powerful. So the writer team kicked GSC and n ball and gave sister a buff In October point changes they increase the sisters point and decrease the GSC points. Till then you’ll have to stomach what you get.

@cranjusmc.baskettball5177 27 дней назад

@@Zabzimthey are written 3 months ahead of time. There’s no way they wrote this before the October update yet still gave necrons that busted codex or Orks. Also custodes were good like 2 weeks before their codex came out but otherwise were balanced beforehand. Now custodes just has a bad codex with no reason.

@Zabzim 27 дней назад

@@cranjusmc.baskettball5177 no they written about six to nine months ahead of time. You realise it takes three months at a bare minimum to even print shit, not to mention games workshop love of sitting on finished products because they want to save them for a rainy day! Case in point, terminators with assault weapons. The model were done at the same time as the new terminators but for whatever reason they haven’t been released yet

@Rukdug 27 дней назад

Given the way the split between "good or decent" and "bad" codices have been going, they at least need to fire the bad author, since I suspect it's two people writing them and while one is super into the game and very passionate, the other is only writing the rules because they need a paycheck.
