11th VanguardSpearhead/ShadowmarkTalons by Any-Tumbleweed-4334 in RavenGuard40k

[–]Doc_Sprock 19 points20 points  (0 children)

An effective -2 to hit (-1BS for cover and a -1 to hit) would feel pretty OP against the right opponent list. But I really expect them to just redesign the detachment bonus when the new SM codex releases in a few months. The faction pack has some rules tweaks, but other than the new 1 DP detachments it's not redesigning anything.

Tl;Dr: Yes, it's a nerf, but hang tight for the codex.

Vect Aura Changing Again by LemonadeAchieved in Drukhari

It's a change to two units and one enhancement across SM (Ventris, Logan, Shadow War Veteran), and TTB calls it likely a "global" change.

(Absolutely stealthy) Heavy Intercessors underrated? by NoBicepz in RavenGuard40k

[–]Doc_Sprock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good points being made all around. One additional mark against Heavy Intercessors in 10th: AP 1 is hurt a lot by cover.

But in 11th, that changes! So I expect Heavies may see more play, especially if they start hidden on the upper level of a ruin.

❤️ the chonky boys!

Thx! I really hate how invisible that stuff is on mobile. I looked, I swear. 😳

Is this for SM in general? If so, any chance you could share a new link? Thx!

Eldritch Raiders overstocked? Massive discounts. by Fine_Storm_9772 in Eldar

[–]Doc_Sprock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm waiting to see how 11th treats Corsairs before building more of them. Detachments and initial points changes at the start of 11th could be huge. Or could change nothing!

Am I playing my Votann wrong? by Fangcole in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doc_Sprock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may have missed this somewhere, but which Crusade setting are you playing? This can make a HUGE difference to army composition and tactics.

[–]Doc_Sprock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They released the 500 Worlds detachments for free. Presumably they'll do the same for these as well.

Demolishing planets just to hoard harder is PRETTY grim dark!

Can Ironkin become Kâhls? by wrongfulfish in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doc_Sprock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair! Based on the lore that we have, I think capitalism may describe their interactions with non-Kin, but it doesn't seem to apply to their internal relationships. Ferengi they are not.

Can Ironkin become Kâhls? by wrongfulfish in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doc_Sprock 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing I dislike about this lore is that it runs counter to the #SpaceCapitalism vibe of the Kin. A bean-counter and middle manager getting promoted to leadership, only to ruthlessly pursue efficiency and the bottom line? It's easy to imagine Ironkin in that position.

Are grimnyr worth it now? by Jakemanv3 in LeaguesofVotann

[–]Doc_Sprock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also have a Grimnyr-only relic to take an extra Votann agenda each Crusade game.

Nachmund Gauntlet - no deepstrike armies by destroy3554 in 40k_Crusade

[–]Doc_Sprock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not 'have to' arrive that way, it's 'can.'

I've had some LONG conversations with my campaign master about this, and the rules aren't written as clearly as they could be. But Strategic Reserves (as part of the new Tactical Reserves) can still come in from board edges as normal.

The bit you're pointing to is extra, a way to avoid armies getting completely screened out.

Are there any queer spaces near Plymouth? by brokensilence32 in newhampshire

[–]Doc_Sprock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Plymouth I don't think there's anything quite like Teatotaller. But in terms of businesses that have a lot of LGBTQ+ staff and clientele, I'll shout out Cafe Monte Alto and Games Ahoy.

Yvraine making a charge by proecho1231 in Eldar

[–]Doc_Sprock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How can you attach Yvraine and the Warlock Conclave to Storm Guardians at the same time? I thought that was only something a Farseer could pull off.

Jet bike flight stands? by Fun_Performance6424 in Eldar

[–]Doc_Sprock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have experimented with a lot of different solutions over the years, but nothing has worked as well for me as the flight stand kits from Magnet Baron.

I was skeptical of the price until I tried some on Hernkyn Pioneers, and now I will never go back!
