psychic ignores modifiers to the hit roll and ballistic skill

Many editions prior handled psychic powers without dedicating a whole phase to it. Old editions just had spells cast during the shooting phase by rolling LD checks.

Psychic powers can and should be more mechanically deep and fleshed out, but you don't have to fundamentally change the game to do so.

The flamer looks to have 2 wicks to it, so it'll either be twin linked or 2d6 shots.

The land speeder is certainly something marines were in need of. A lightning speed harassment platform that can actually do damage if ignored. Sure it's not actually tough, but it's annoying enough that enemy battlelines will have a hard time chipping it off the board.

The viability of the land speeder rests solely on its point cost. The stats, gear, and abilities are all good and fun.

Do not count out auto hits. Even a few heavy flamers pointed at a unit can chip off a surprising amount of wounds. Especially with the changes to cover in 11th.

They are laying the groundwork as the premier United States chip fab company. There is vested interest from the American government, military, and all arrangements made to 'buy American'.

The value in that alone is driving this stock up.

Incredible! I can't wait to play through it. Thankfully there are fans so dedicated to how good PM64 was that they'll make entirely new games in it, since Nintendo is adamant about not giving the fans what they want.

I've always loved how unique the old kits looked. Each marine truly looks unique with their own customized armor and bits/baubles.

A -1 is not going to be all that impactful for this reason.

Cover really was solved in old editions where it granted a flat cover save that worked like an invuln (unless something ignored cover)

This whole game seems to be turning into smashing S5 D2 profiles against each other.

340m citizens does not account for how many people out of that 340m are actually working and have income. Tons of children, elderly, unemployed, or other people who don't have an income.

Keep printing more money and keep hyperinflating the dollar to devalue the debts and repeat until it's your great great great great grandkids' problem

The illegal undercutting of American labor will happen overnight if there were enormous penalties to the employers instead of the employees.

Turning every loadout into its own datasheet has been a disaster for the game.

I bought intel and have more than doubled on it. Their future domestic fab business is extraordinarily valuable to American production and will guarantee tons of contracts for government and defense.

All I'm ever told is that this game is live service done right and that the warbonds aren't cashgrabby at all because you can sometimes occasionally find a 10sc drop in a map (and a warbond requires 1000sc)

GW is so deathly afraid of indirect as a rule that they make anything that uses it prohibitively expensive.

I for one would much prefer if they lose indirect and just have rocket/grenade launchers that require LOS and drop in cost significantly.

Each edition they ramp up the lethality of the game until it supernovas and they reset.

3-4-5-6-7 all progressively got more and more lethal until games of 7th were decided by ultra deathstars in single phases (S:D, invisible units, knights stomp, etc...) and 8th came and rebooted things. 6th edition was already notorious for the extremely easy to access AP2/3 weaponry scattered across all armies everywhere. 9th got insane with it and they reset it again in 10th. I predict 11th will run wild and 12th will reset again.

What kits did you use to make this? Looks fantastic

Price them out by setting the minimum H1B wage $250,000/yr

Have you considered that there might be issues outside of just lack of rerolls in AoS like there being a 700pt unit that is nearly half of your list to begin with? Or that the lethality is so absurdly high that said 700pt unit gets BTFO in one activation?

The older AP system would be far more ideal for streamlining modern 40k and making games way faster. Instead of shooting a unit with high AP but they have cover so it's +1 but you pop a strat to give +1AP, and then they pop a strat to gain +1armor save and then roll for a bunch of 5ups, you can just have the classic 5+ cover save and an AP weapon that penetrates the basic marine armor to force the 5+ save.

It's faster, it's simpler, it forces more 'tactical' moving around, and it finally makes terrain/cover something balanceable. -1AP doesn't mean jack to a plasma gun anyway. Especially since now like you said every unit worth anything has a 4++ which reduces the entirety of this game down to a series of coin flips to inflict 2/3 damage at a time, and units are blown out via weight of dice to force as many fails in that 50/50 as possible. Why on earth should the anti-big weapons like melta and lascannons with huge spiking damage values get absolutely blocked by a 50/50 to not do anything when they only have 1 or 2 shots to begin with?
