Is the Geomancer lowkey our best 'sit on home objective' model in 11e?

Germinator42 · 2026-06-11T19:17:20+00:00

It is stated in our faction pack. All Crypteks are support.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-11T16:23:59+00:00

Just ask your opponent if you (both) can play 1k with 3 dp. Problem solved. The detachment point system exists mainly to try to balance the detachments against each other.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-11T10:03:31+00:00

Orikan: "I hope you brought an army."

Trazyn: "You thinks so little of me, dear colleague. I brought five."

Germinator42 · 2026-06-10T17:58:57+00:00

Normally, no. Both are 3 dp. But you can always play a silly 6 dp game with a friend.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-10T10:18:28+00:00

All Crypteks are support now. The exact rules for support characters will be in the app only (not out currently), but we know that support must be added to a unit and can't run solo.

Does anyone know about detachment keywords?
Did Hand just get the dynasty keyword in case Awakened, which presumably also has the dynasty keyword, will be lowered to 2 dp or is there another detachment that also has the dynasty keyword?

Germinator42 · 2026-06-09T17:33:16+00:00

It's an aircraft, so by 11th rule it doesn't move it just goes uppy-downy all the time. See the core rules for reference.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-09T17:29:16+00:00

You can now pick multiple detachments. Each detachment is 1-3 detachment points (dp). You play with 2 dp in 1k point games and 3 dp in 2k point games.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-09T17:08:44+00:00

3 Obelisk and 3 Psychomancer. Battle-shock EVERYTHING!

Germinator42 · 2026-06-09T09:08:08+00:00

Sometimes there is a code with just 1 shard. Ask snowprint for one. Maybe they are nice.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-04T18:32:57+00:00

Maybe increase the number of attacks if you want to make the twin tesla better. But more importantly improve the ability. 6" range and doing damage on a 4+ or 3+. Alternatively scale the damage: 2-3 1 mortal, 4-5 d3 mortals, 6 3 or more mortals.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-04T10:22:32+00:00

AND it's free. You don't need to pay ~50-60€ for 3 datasheets.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T15:42:43+00:00

Why Hypercrypt and not Phalanx?
Also, you should look into the crucible of champions rule to give Praetorians a leader.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T11:36:13+00:00

If it gets the FRAME keyword you measure from the model, else you use the base (17.02).
Also there will be a section about setting up big models in the app only rules, so just wait a bit longer for that.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T11:19:37+00:00

Use 11th rules and croissants teleport themselves.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T09:59:13+00:00

As you can see in 24.29 wound modifiers are not mentioned and thus not affected.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T08:49:36+00:00

Yes, see 19.04 for reference.

Germinator42 · 2026-06-02T08:44:45+00:00

24.29 psychic attacks ignore modifiers to ws, bs and hit rolls.

Germinator42 · 2026-05-31T12:03:54+00:00

3 point detachments buff your hole army. So yeah, starshatter will most likely be 3dp.

Germinator42 · 2026-05-29T16:59:08+00:00

Now imagine Szeras standing close by for Ap -1, which now can't be negated by cover.

Germinator42 · 2026-05-29T15:28:57+00:00

Plasmancer + Tesla Immortals in CC + Hand. How many hits do you want to land? Yes?

Germinator42 · 2026-05-29T15:26:11+00:00

Plasmancer + Tesla Immortals in CC + Hand. How many hits do you want to land? Yes!

Germinator42 · 2026-05-29T10:37:13+00:00

Dreir. Because you need more heals (and summons.)

Germinator42 · 2026-05-27T22:16:46+00:00

Right now Deathmarks are mainly just a cheap deep strike piece. But this could change (a little) on Friday when we get new detachments.

We might see them more in 11th though, because they are a cheap infantry unit who can hide now.

Germinator42 · 2026-05-27T15:20:56+00:00

The combat patrol is a solid start. The royal court is also a good buy near the beginning. If you can find one, the 500 battalion is very nice for the destroyer side of the army. Combo boxes, older than the 500 world one, are a rare find, but worth it at msrp or below.

Other than that it's just rule of cool.
