@spnked9516 7 месяцев назад

Right now, you can basically point at almost any Dark Eldar model and find some sort of crippling problem with it. Take the archon, for example - decent enough state line, but you can only place him in with the court of the archon and kabalites. The archon is more of a melee bruiser, so he has no business dragging shooting-focused kabalites into melee, and the court of the archon squad is pretty mid for the points - not to mention it can get attached to a kabalite unit it has no business being with. When you look across the roster you see this sort of thing crop up a lot. Even Hesperax, one of Dark Eldar's best options, is undermined by the fact that she is absolutely required for wyches to meet the baseline of viability. Even then, they're all still dragged down by terrible army rules and stratagems.

@marauder340 7 месяцев назад

If they kept the old sheet, gave it deep strike or Drop Pod Assault like its fluff describes and explicitly restricted it so that you can only have one it'll be worth it. Keeping it from being spammed addresses the risk of everyone taking 3 to gum up the whole table and be unfun to play into.

Its so easy to make drones playable. Make them 20 points for 4 and allow them to spot so they can actually use the markerlight they come with. Give them an actual unit ability, like removing OC from model hit by their guns like Piranhas do or give them +1 to wound for guided uints. It would make them extremely useful and a competitor to just tetras.

@denseaf1582 5 месяцев назад

I keep hearing weird things about the Aegis Defense Line, no idea if they're outdated or not. The gist of it was being able to take cover, preventing deepstriking in a large area, and blocking movement for hostile models since itself is a model instead of 'just' an immobile structure. Also there was something about tanks being able to take cover behind the line from what I've heard. While pricey, I could see it being useful *if* all of those things were still available, but only if.

@PhillipOnTakos 6 месяцев назад

With the T'au I just question what is the point of tactical drones when a Cadre Fireblade is cheaper points wise and does more, the basic Ethereal is a CP bot for a cheaper cost. Heck even a Piranha is cheaper. It feels like they threw it in there just because a player might have some extra drones lying around.

I think the Reivers have a place now when fighting against armies with weaker support HQs.

It was great!

Fixing Magus: Make her the 2nd character that can lead purestrains with a once per battle broodlord/patriarch passive.

You are wrong about GK Servitors. They are literally our only source of AP for AT duties, and you can attach a techmarine with a 4man servitor unit bodyguard to another 4man servitor unit, forming a 9-man blob with four multi-melta, with DS and TA. Give Techmarine the SIgil, then you can drop one CP to deepstrike within 3", one more CP to give them Assault and more importantly, +1 to hit, then multi-melta the pants off a hard target hitting on 2's with Melta-2, and teleport away if anyone shoots you back (sigil or moves away from or toward you (TA), then use the TA teleport assault at the end of the enemy turn to re-enter reserve and do it all over again. I won't say its amazing - for most armies this is still pretty weak. But for GK, its a relatively cheap and very effective source of AT. Our only source of real AT. You can also do another fun thing, and have a Techmarine + servitor bodyguard attach to a 10-man strike squad, forming a 15man unit with sticky objectives, two 'powerfist' servitors and two mult-melta servitors. Throw the whole mess in a LR Crusader for an extra laugh.

Missionary for the sisters is actually fine. He’s cheap, and can get advance an action, so he can take saintly example and use divine intervention to be a good early point taker or action monkey that also gets you a fountain of MD. But that’s basically just due to his points cost and shot gun. The dogmata is TERRIBLE and expensive tho.

Hello!:) Can you help me?:)) I played two games with tyranids.(I am beginner in world in WH40K) We have attached unit(neurotyrant T8+11 neurogaunts T3). My neurotyrant T8 got many wounds from Bladeguard(Space marines). Because neurogaunts has T3. And when they died, neurotyrant lost 5 wounds ( he failed save+4 5 times). Is it normal? (beacuse we use toughness bodyguard) I think, it is bug from core rule. I forgote to say about PRECISION:)) PRECISION from Eliminator squad(Space marines) with Damage 3.. My neurogaunts is huge problem for neurotyrant. It is very strange rule leader, attached unit and PRECISION:)

@Juztifier 7 месяцев назад

Yeah as long as those gaunts are around you use bodyguards toughness. My friend who plays tyranids runs his neurotyrant with tyrant guard.

@user-ki5ld8ki1m 7 месяцев назад

@@Juztifier I hope, GW will fix this problem in the next FAQ. I think, we should use Toughness leader for PRECISION rule and when we lost last bodyguard. If we talk about Space Marines. It doesn't sense, because all leader have same Toughness T4. For Tyranids is important. 2 cases: 1) 1 Neurotyrant T8+2 neurogaunts T3) I got 20 wound roll wit AP-2. I lost 2 neurogaunts and got 18 saving throw 4+. It is ridiculous:) 2) 1 Neurotyrant T8+2 neurogaunts T3) I got 20 wound roll wit AP 0. I started roll 2 dice because neurogaunts save 6+, then if i lost neurogaunts i do saving throw 4+. It is ridiculous:) I think, after hitt roll we should roll dice for quantity bodyguard. In several iterations. And then when we lost last bodyguard, we should do wound rol lfor leader with T8. But rule says other information:(

for Eldar I'd put shining spears and warlock squads on the same level as storm guardians or maybe slightly worse. you'd only ever use them for the coolness factor

The only bad thing about Reivers are their arms. Shame the OG primaris guns are modular (now ironically pointless). If they weren't all those extra guns would pair quite nicely with the Reiver bodies.

GSC went from having amazing spells to mediocre spells, to no spells. There's no point for a Magus any longer. Yet more fall out from the wildly ill-conceived "let's take away the psychic phase and triple down on yet more melee nerfs to finally make shooting the only meaningful phase in the game"

Did you just called my Repentias "Underwhelming"??? are you aware theyre like one out of two only viable anti-tank solutions sisters have? (with the stratagem that gives +1 on wounds) theyre able to wound normal tanks on 4+.... which is.... sadly.... EXCEPTIONAL in the sisters army.

@leSmokySmoke 7 месяцев назад

Trazyn is still absolutly redicously amazing. literally the mvp of my army every single game before the codex dropped. might be worse now since there are just better detachments availbe now, but with the veil of darkness combo he is just insane for the freedom he gives you. scoring guaranteed at least 45VP on its own for just 10% of your armies cost, and the rest of your army is free to do whatever it wants never bothering about holding main objectives.

@Nevets1073 7 месяцев назад

Reiver Lieutenant actually makes Reivers worse. No options for Grapnel or Grav Chutes means he takes away the one really good thing Reivers have. It's just a really terrible character that needs a pretty significant overhaul to make playable. I wouldn't include this model in an army as a unit leader even if it cost 0 points.

@kingofthemonkeypants 6 месяцев назад

The Traitor Enforcer is way better than you're giving it credit for, due to the way the Bodyguard and Unit rules work you can assign any wounds taken to the Enforcer model before the Ogryn model, leaving you with an effectively T6 5++/4+++ (admittedly only 3 wounds) profile. Sure he's not going to tank everything forever, but on average meqs and guard don't do anything to him and any heavier weapons going his way is objectively a waste. He's less good as a leader than as his own unit, but tends to draw inordinate amounts of focus even after the traitor guard unit dies.
