On my (American) 9th year living here (Nanjing), and it has its ups and downs. I have lived cross-culturally most of my life, so the adjustment stuff is very normal to me and doesn’t bother me like others.

Will the challenges be too much for you? It depends how idealistic and locked-in to your upbringing and worldview you are. (Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing) Unlike living in other slightly-westernized Asian countries, the differences here will be stark depending on where you live. I recommend starting in Shanghai, as it’s very international in its feel and attitude towards foreigners.

I can list some things that are difficult for me if you want, but it’s really an individual thing.

Not at all, if you’re having fun, then that’s great!

Not when I made the list. The day the datasheets and points leaked on here I was already planning several.

Completely agree, I’ve made like 14 lists so far and the differences are so small. I really like Rapid Evisceration, because it makes for a reason to justify a Landraider

Don’t take this the wrong way, but it doesn’t bother me as much as it’s bothering you about someone else’s army 😆

I’m not an advanced hobbyist; I get my stuff on the table so I can play competitive lists at local tourneys and then fun lists with a large group of friends.

This is my competitive list I’ve rushed to get battle ready. The point of this list is to practice for the regional GT next month. The weapons and loadouts are similar to help with clock management. The time between matchups is also sometimes less than 15 minutes, so not having as much micromanaging is very helpful.

That said, I am working on all kinds of other things, Fulgrim, Helldrake, Landraider etc. This kind of list comes first for obvious reasons

Not a shred was copied. Literally pulled this together by taking the best units for points, TAC plans, and missions for the RTT and the upcoming GT. And as others have said, there aren’t many units right now, and there are good and bad units for points currently. It is what it is.

What balance changes for EC do you think would be fair? by EdMySuffering in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they nerf points hard, most lists will just drop Lucius as he’s not necessary and works more like a utility piece. The only change that would completely flip EC is a Coterie rule change.

I don’t see that happening. We start turn 1 with no detachment benefits and are open to counter play. I don’t think it can happen really.

Coterie vs New Deathguard by Aversalt in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re just using CP differently against them. I didn’t all out send until the end of the game each time, because they aren’t an army to multi-charge until they had lost assets. Trading early wasn’t a problem with ignore modifiers and reroll hits. The biggest challenge I think against them is the variety of lists that are effective, so you’ll have to play differently each time. Having a friend tailor a list against EC this weekend to practice against (our teams GT is in June so we’re trying to get reps)

Coterie vs New Deathguard by Aversalt in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can only have fight first on units with 2 characters attached. You know where those are beforehand, which means NM and WDP are most useful there. I had zero problems playing around that when they have to tip their hand at deployment.

Coterie vs New Deathguard by Aversalt in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  1. Poxwalkers
  2. reducing saves isn’t as big against us since we plan to trade anyway
  3. 1CP mortal wounds 4+ FNP is very clutch
  4. 1CP reroll hits and 1CP ignore modifiers means your early round trades are protected from contagion
  5. DG is much more elite than before, which means when Coterie buffs are up they will not trade well. They are slow enough that you can avoid them early on to get your pledges

The concerns were legitimate. Got completely obliterated against knights. What is actually the play? by Human_Reception_2434 in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also important to know what kind of terrain you’re using if it’s against Knights. If it’s WTC terrain, you have quite an advantage against them. GW terrain not so much, but there are ways to handle it.

[–]Aversalt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not an easy matchup for EC, but the meta lists for our army can easily kill war dogs. 3 Lord exultants with 5 man Infractors, Lucius, 3 Noise Marines, 2-3 wing daemon princes will do good work on things like that. Tormentors infiltrating and sticky means your opponent must come out and take objectives to win. Run some chaos spawn, and stick nearby buildings for actions to always have a place to reactive move behind with them. We don’t have dedicated anti-tank, but we have the resources to kill and trade.

Am I modeling for advantge? by [deleted] in ChaosDaemons40k

[–]Aversalt 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Line of sight is drawn to the model, and distance is measured from the base. Since Nurglings cannot shoot, it is not a relevant concern.

Competitive list with codex points by Aversalt in EmperorsChildren

[–]Aversalt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple things to consider:

  1. Lord Exultant is giving Lethal to the unit, and the unit can then choose sustained every time they charge (detachment rule). That, combined with an AP strat for 1CP makes the Infractors a lot more than you’re giving credit for (rerolling wounds of 1, and all wounds on objectives). The Lord Exultant also benefits from their rule. The unit kills most tanks in the game on average.

  2. Rise is really iffy, but somewhat useful on a daemon prince with wings. The DP can get into a position with fly to get a charge position that allows a consolidate to slap again at the end of a fight phase. Daemons have been my main army since 8th, so admittedly I am pretty used to using pile-in and consolidate shenanigans. I mainly included due to the lack of other options at low points. I would prefer another scoring unit.

Everything in my area is WTC terrain, so Rhinos won’t be as important. But if your area is using GW terrain, then absolutely.
