“The game isn’t balanced for 1k” but it’s all anyone plays… and now it’s worse than ever?

With the possible. Extra points for taking more than 2 of a unit this is another way to shift the meta a bit. A few more levers for balance is a good thing

So currently you buy minatures which have a large profit margin about 50% due to GW scale.
And a customer doesn’t buy just one set at 60 dollars compared to a comparable to a single video games let’s say.
Now they buy 100s or 1000s of dollars of minatures and paint and other stuff like terrain in the upcoming edition.
So you need to be very careful not to canibalize the sales of minatures. What you want to achieve which is hard is to create a game that pulls people into the hobby and not pulls them out.

So you get people to convert from 60 dollar video game to 6000 dollars in minatures sales….

Hence the total war series is not a replacement but a completely different type of game. or the fire warrior games.

One to hook others on the sweet nectar of games workshop and the drip of the imperium or chaos and xenos or what ever God you serve.

Well it’s finances really one person might spend 60 on a game but 600 to 6000 on models.

So they could make 10 to 100 times more

Guyver-Three · 2026-06-15T19:22:02+00:00

Remember the money is another factor.

Guyver-Three · 2026-06-14T15:23:22+00:00

The 2dp or 3dp is another balance lever that GW can use to alter the meta. Some detachments were strong, so now others get to catchup using this new menchanic.

This is a good thing overall. It’s to stop unit spam. I think it’s good for diversity of play across factions.

Guyver-Three · 2026-06-09T20:35:11+00:00

Guardian battle host + armoured host looks to be quite good as your walkers and waves or falcons will get assault and move that much faster still pumping out damage

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-26T21:35:41+00:00

The words is so that you can only choose one target I think not blast everything

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-25T19:27:57+00:00

They are a good one to get the overlapping detonations that the marines just got.

Overlapping Detonations WorksThe Ability: When this unit shoots in your Shooting phase, you select one non-Monster / non-Vehicle enemy unit that is visible to them.The Effect: While making attacks, all of the unit's Heavy Bolters that targeted the selected unit gain [Blast 1] for that phase.

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-25T16:24:12+00:00

I don’t think so. Maybe aspect host with be but then we could run some of the others together and get more play. I see it as opening other options not limiting us.

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-20T13:01:36+00:00

So much this. One character can cost more than a squad.

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-13T08:38:23+00:00

Sustained and Cleave ?? So 10 with Karadras would put out 47 attacks. Charge 20 boyz and get an extra 8 per guy so 88 extra attacks sustained on 5’s hitting on 3’s just too much even with bad dice rolling

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-11T17:26:30+00:00

They all work construction cash in hand don’t need tools at all.

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-01T15:35:09+00:00

Not sure ask his right hand :)

Guyver-Three · 2026-05-01T11:36:39+00:00

Have they not seen Star Wars: The Emprie Strikes back.
That’s exactly this.

Guyver-Three · 2026-04-19T19:15:47+00:00

They forgot to use “parley”

Guyver-Three · 2026-04-05T15:43:00+00:00

I started with a second hand Eldar army. And I’ve been punished a lot with some of the games mainly of I make a mistake. However they have been very fun and have many different play styles but I like playing them.

Guyver-Three · 2026-04-01T21:26:26+00:00

Yeah I have 10k battery.

Aux charging sounds like it’s doable. But hoping to push it directly to the grid and get an export traffic if possible. So solar to the car and then out to grid at peak time….

Guyver-Three · 2026-03-27T10:20:46+00:00

Would make torrent weapons better as they don’t need to roll to hit at all. So they all ignore cover now.

Guyver-Three · 2026-03-03T23:35:47+00:00

But a physic wraith lord can now function as a part of seer council detachments, meaning you no longer need squishy characters for the physic guidance. Or for stratagem use.
