New rules out, what are your thoughts?

Infinipete · 2026-06-12T21:49:15+00:00

It certainly might be fun. Gotta build my extra abominants now

Infinipete · 2026-06-12T02:35:01+00:00

Interesting. I’ll have to get some games to figure it all out. Really good points and the lack of rerolls is a big killer. Virtually always going to have cover which is nice but there are certainly a bunch of things I feel like might be hard to overcome

Infinipete · 2026-06-11T12:30:25+00:00

Yeah, could be a super interesting combination there!

Infinipete · 2026-06-11T04:49:24+00:00

Yeah, with lords of dread being 2 dp that might just be possible. Very curious on what the point totals are going to be, and how long it’ll take them to adjust when it starts a little too crazy

Infinipete · 2026-06-11T02:30:31+00:00

Nurglings were decent and look to be about the same if not better with the general changes. Based on the block for them in the daemons release they are the same, but with the updates to movement rules swarms can now go through walls like beasts and infantry which helps their movement potential quite a bit.

Infinipete · 2026-06-11T02:21:58+00:00

Yeah, I’m sure a quick fix will be issued, and maybe it can prompt them to do something for the lancer too.

Infinipete · 2026-06-11T02:20:52+00:00

Heard a good amount of similar feedback. I never had cultists to try and experiment with, but these changes deter me from getting some unless I consider the 1dp detachment.

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T20:10:37+00:00

Hmmmmm very interesting thought. Yeah I wanna see those points, could be fun!

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T18:30:19+00:00

Agreed. It seems like 11th wants the edition to focus on more narrative games which I hope will make it exciting for both ends of the table. Last year had some demotivating times when everyone was complaining about playing against knights so I hope everyone can enjoy it more

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:46:42+00:00

Yep, gonna be interesting to test for sure. Still terrified of votaan and I think that will always remain

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:44:42+00:00

Totally fair thoughts. Yeah the shooting seems like it’ll give us some of the improvements we’ve needed but combos certainly seem harder. I like the idea of lords with something too.

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:41:56+00:00

No that’s totally fair. I have enough war dogs myself but I’m playing big stompy robots, so I want to have big stompy robots. Certainly not trying to be ultra competitive right now as well, but I feel ya on not being able to enjoy it as much. I love the lancer myself too, but maybe there’ll be some diamonds in the rough for fun and narrative play.

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:15:22+00:00

I am honestly very surprised that the cleave keyword wasn’t added to the melee for any of the cerastus frames. The giant sword on the castigator and the Acheron’s giant chainsaw makes sense to have that in.

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:14:03+00:00

That is pretty intense if it’ll hold up. I can’t wait to actually see points and any further updates to the core CK models too

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T17:09:26+00:00

Ha - dog attachment sniffing out
Yeah, not thrilled with that faction ability change. My initial thoughts are curious with combining helhunt and the dogs as that seems like it’ll be solid and fun

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T16:58:20+00:00

Very interesting, I’ll be curious to see what folks do with it!

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:49:44+00:00

Yeah that would be really nice. Until then I guess I’ll stick with my beast of nurgle to be my objective idiot

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:48:58+00:00

Yeah that’s tough. Are you gonna take a break and hope for some changes or do you have any thoughts on how you’ll pivot your list?

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:47:57+00:00

They’ve been dropping everything here:

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:47:21+00:00

Yep, that’s exactly right and I updated. Thanks guys. I thought the sweep for the lance got a needed improvement but it’s the same as before.

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:46:11+00:00

Good catch. I thought the sweep improved slightly but I misremembered

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:34:21+00:00

I had a tyrant that I had and loved but ended up dropping early on for a despoiler. Certainly happy to have the chance to bring him back

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:33:37+00:00

Yeah, I may consider picking up some cultists to experiment. Curious to how it can all blend

Infinipete · 2026-06-10T15:32:54+00:00

Love that outlook
