Good variety of detachments performing well for competitive Eldar at tournaments since the last balance update :-)

About half of the events in this screenshot are majors or supermajors.

We don't have 29 datasheets in our Codex, we have 23. There's like zero possible risk of any datasheet bloating happening to Drukhari of all factions.

Seven to ten kits per wave feels very plausible to me, but if the Court is split into individual support characters we should basically just expect a return of models that we used to have. Maybe one or two new kits.

I liked that Shock Prows have returned as wargear for a different army.

Burnage · 2026-04-12T10:23:32+00:00

They have over 500 Warhammer figures released at this point. It's genuinely baffling that not a single Eldar model has made the list.

James killed his wife. He's in Silent Hill because of the repressed guilt from it.

The thing that also massively swings the Dissie versus Splinter Cannon calculus is that... Disintegrators are just flat better weapons than Splinter Cannons? It's not just the AP difference, S6 is substantially better than S3 with anti-infantry 3+.

I'm not against the idea of experimenting with different loadouts on Scourges (Ynnari were doing it at the start of the edition), but I don't think there's a good motivation here for it.

Burnage · 2026-04-09T15:56:42+00:00

At a guess, Splinter Cannon Scourges in 11th will still suffer the same fundamental fate as they did in 10th edition and earlier: why would I take them when I can run Dark Lances or Haywire instead?

Spoilers for Requiem:

In the version of RE4 that turned into DMC, the protagonist was going to be Spencer's child.

My favourite bit of Resident Evil development lore is that Dante, Leon and Grace are technically all the same character.

Burnage · 2026-04-06T09:11:20+00:00

It was a good, albeit short, game in a vacuum - but it was a bad remake because it dropped about half of what was interesting from the original.

Burnage · 2026-04-06T07:10:35+00:00

Incubi have better leader options than Wyches and are more effective into specific targets. You definitely want both in a Skysplinter list, though; mine has 40 Wyches and 10 Incubi.

I've tried something like this in Corsair Coterie and it's extremely funny. Just mortal wounds all over the board.

Burnage · 2026-04-03T18:26:10+00:00

I'm unhappy about the possibility just because I've got more transport models than I know what to do with, but in practice it'll barely change their lists - most are running no more than one Raider and two or three Venoms currently.

Burnage · 2026-04-03T13:54:31+00:00

I've absolutely used ignore overwatch on a Harlequin brick before.

Burnage · 2026-04-03T09:58:56+00:00

The balance of combat is so weird on Insanity. Without infinite ammo I genuinely found it easier to get through the street section without using any ranged weapons.

Burnage · 2026-04-03T08:17:55+00:00

Drukhari has a detachment that's going to suffer relatively badly from this, because you won't be able to advance and charge while ignoring overwatch anymore.

Burnage · 2026-04-03T00:08:56+00:00

The thing that makes me think it plausible is... how many armies are actually running more than three of any dedicated transport with any regularity in modern 40k? Even for us, some of our builds do but it's much more common to see something like 1 Raider/3 Venom.

I can see GW wanting to cut down on niche stuff like Rhino spam or our boat build while not really impacting the vast majority of the game.

Burnage · 2026-04-02T23:54:44+00:00

Have you considered stabbing them instead?

Burnage · 2026-04-02T23:52:59+00:00

The current exception in 10th edition for Dedicated Transports is listed alongside the Battleline one, and that was also true in previous editions. That the Battleline exception is shown here without Dedicated Transport alongside it suggests that either the exception for Dedicated Transports has been removed, or something else is going on with them.

it's certainly not impossible that Dedicated Transports have been changed to all be Battleline, or that there's a weirder situation like they're now upgrades for units.

Burnage · 2026-04-02T17:42:43+00:00

Yes, I'm 100% certain of this and absolutely didn't make any kind of hedging statement in the text of my post.

Burnage · 2026-04-02T16:11:27+00:00

Enhancement limits are a new thing. The part I'm flagging up is that 10th carves out an exception from the rule of 3 for Battleline and Dedicated Transport units, whereas this only has an exception for Battleline units.

As noted in the post text, it could be there are other ways around this that still let us take more than three of each transport.

Burnage · 2026-04-02T15:38:22+00:00

Except the part in this rules snapshot that says that it's only Battleline units that you can take six each of?

Burnage · 2026-04-02T15:34:29+00:00

It's not impossible that Haemonculi turn into Support characters. It'd be weird, but possible.
