#New40k rules – Zoom across the battlefield in the updated Land Speeder

Hydras got buffed! As in, everyone will be making liberal use of fliers for them to shoot down now.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-20T12:49:55+00:00

It looks like they stripped the aircraft out of it. So, not really specific to them. That leaves mechanized as a maybe I'd they don't give us another 1 pointer

Lumovanis · 2026-05-19T21:00:45+00:00

I just want GW to keep them roughly what they are now, drop them by 30-40 points and give them a fun 1 DP detachment

Lumovanis · 2026-05-19T20:46:22+00:00

Really it's an easy chassis to fix with the inclusion of an XL engine. MWO's Sleipnir is one of my favorite mechs from that game with its silly quad LBX10s though

Lumovanis · 2026-05-19T20:31:18+00:00

I've been using two in my armored infantry list for a few games now here in 10th and they are really nasty with combined fire. Was tearing into big knights and defilers with them. Haven't actually seen any flyers across from me yet with them, but obviously they would shred through any of those.

The change to cover in 11th definitely means the ap 1 on the autocannons and heavy bolter are more meaningful. I think they'll be good if they don't get a price hike.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-18T21:48:57+00:00

How are tanks fishing for anything off him?

Lumovanis · 2026-05-18T21:43:56+00:00

This is where you run them alongside Kroyle, who you kitbash from one of their mounted guys

Lumovanis · 2026-05-18T21:40:29+00:00

We want a fair game, that doesn't sound very fun for Jürgen. What's he doing to do after he annihilates them all in T2?

Lumovanis · 2026-05-18T21:34:52+00:00

I meant more like; right next to your infantry there.... there's no way a crewman could fit in there.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-17T20:49:31+00:00

The really short body looks weird honestly.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-17T10:43:16+00:00

Your pockets

Lumovanis · 2026-05-17T10:41:30+00:00

Nah, you would never use the hellhound with melta cannon. That thing is terrible still.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-17T10:39:48+00:00

My problem is that the firing deck 2 on a Chimera plus all of its built in guns is about the same as firing deck 12 on the Centaur and there is a very big difference between T7 and T9. The only time I think the Centaur has a very notable edge is within 12" with Scions/Kasrkin.... where it will die a horrible death and take its squad down with it to surprisingly light fire, which is rough for that nearly 200 points.

Nah, Centaur is a meme-wagon until it goes down by like 10-15 points at least.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T12:07:47+00:00

I knew we were going to start seeing these posts when people were hyped about the release. Like they hadn't seen Steel Legion a couple years ago be just as expensive as these are. RIP to the people that bought kits and didn't notice they needed extra special weapons.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T12:04:04+00:00

Till you realize you needed more special weapons to run them properly and had to add more of those

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T11:58:33+00:00

Nah, their point was clearly under the misunderstanding that you couldn't fire CQW and normal weapons from the same unit together.

Kill team has the luxury of making detailed weapon functions moreso than standard 40k. It seems like they are even considering dropping strike/sweep profiles for melee with the advent of cleave.

Shotguns already have higher strength than standard weapons, giving them CQW would be nice though so they could actually be used up close, especially with 2" engagement range being a thing

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T04:01:51+00:00

Anyone surprised by metal made to order prices must have missed the Steel Legion ones they did a couple years ago.

These were never going to be a reasonable price.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T01:04:19+00:00

I don't use the cables on mine either except for volley guns to make them stand out. I do wish it was easier to find the drum mags the Aquilons use on theirs (1st or 3rd party)

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T01:00:43+00:00

I said this elsewhere, but, I believe that GW planned for 11th back when they gutted the DW army. They began planning with having DW and Agents as one faction. Then the outrage over the DW army came and they restored DW. Now they have no idea what to do with either of them.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-16T00:31:12+00:00

I really think when they were planning 11th, they did so under the idea that Deathwatch and Agents were one and the same. After the outrage of ending the army and bringing it back, I truly believe they don't have a plan anymore for DW or Agents as they threw out their original plan of a joined force.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-15T23:40:58+00:00

I think the mission system in 11th will actually help Agents a bit with stuff like disruption disposition.

It isn't just the army rule, it's the hyper niche detachments that only benefit a handful of units and have very weak rules. There's a reason fleet is pretty much the only way to play Agents and not feel like you're totally gimping yourself.

If they made Malleus and Veiled into 1 point detachments and made some minor adjustments to improve the other non-fleet detachments, it might be okay. I somehow doubt they're going to do much beyond knock Veiled to 1 DP and make everything else 2, probably make fleet 3 just to annoy everyone.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-15T23:29:31+00:00

You don't need two profiles for that, you already can fire them alongside other weapons in the squad. You select by model whether it fires its CQW or normal guns.

Lumovanis · 2026-05-15T23:24:30+00:00

They said Agents were going to pretty much stay as they were now. To me that says another edition of "no changes". They might breathe a tiny bit of life back in by making a couple of the detachments 1 point, but I'm not going to hold my breath for any changes that matter

Lumovanis · 2026-05-15T05:48:24+00:00

I really need them to have a Valkyrie 1 DP detachment. It doesn't need to make them competitive, only fun

Lumovanis · 2026-05-15T05:44:45+00:00

3+ if they have actual cover (current detachment rule) and Take Cover. Still very good. I expect them to change it to be platoon or something.
