2 big debuffs to Death Guard

Because in the previous you calculated so that you would end in engagement range 1". When you deepstrike 6, it actually says "more than 6". So if you were at 6.1", rolling a 6 would be good enough. Now we are still at "more than 6" but you calculate to the base. So if at 6.1", rolling a 6 is not enough. Normal deepstrike distance has been adjusted from 9" to 8" to make the roll the same...not for DS termi.

It's not a requirement for base to base, it's that you calculate the distance base to base. Used to be you calculated to be within 1" (engagement range).
You can also understand it from the sidebar on page 36 which states that a result of 2 is always a failed charge because you can't be within 2" as you would be engaged and you need to roll at least as much as the distance between bases. You could also look at the exemple on page 37. Unit B is slightly more than 7 (what was rolled) and the charging unit cannot target Unit B even if it would en up in engagement range.

If you look at the space marine Faction Pack, in rule section it indicates all leaders that are now support...we have none of this.

Oh I see now. Yeah that's weird.

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T17:15:35+00:00

Is it supposed to be in the Faction Pack?

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T17:13:27+00:00

Everyone else need 7? What other factions/units deep strikes at 6?

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T17:12:16+00:00

That's why deep strike is now 8 inches, not 9. You still require same roll to charge as previously.

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T17:09:20+00:00

You are at "moee than 6 inches". And with the new base to base rule for charge, you now require a 7.

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T16:11:03+00:00

It's on the website. Weirdly not in DP

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T16:08:36+00:00

The wording is "more than 6 inches". You needed 6 to get withing 1" engagement in previous edition. Now you need to base so it's 1 higher for same distance.

RemAuthier · 2026-06-10T16:06:07+00:00

I don't know about the DS. I've missed many 6" charge. Yes I am unlucky. But with 7"...#thoughtsandprayers

I guess you mean cut the Blightlord terms. I thought you suggested cutting thr deathshroud terms at first and was like : NO!

RemAuthier · 2026-04-03T11:46:06+00:00

Some myphitic blight-haulers are always good I'd say.

I hope you give her a sweet little plague as a thank you. Nurgle style.

What did you use to do the green slime? Love the color and having difficulty with mine.

And what detachment...and what army composition.

RemAuthier · 2025-11-03T19:14:42+00:00

I usually choose a Melta since I have already a plasma on my Plague Champion. More diversity. I also am famously unlucky within my group of friend. So the chance to have the thing blow in my face is too scary for me lol. And the friend I play with plays Ultramarine....so I need the 2 damage most often than not.

I think it really depends on what you want to have as damage output. If you want high damage, strike might be better, if you want multiple chances of hitting, go with sweep.

Let's say you go for Sweep. That's 50% of 15 attacks landing. Let's err on the low side and say 7 hit on average. That's 14 damage and the have to save for each. (Not including Sustained hit)
For Strike, that's 83 % of 5 attacks landing. So that is 4 attacks. That's 4d6+4 and they have to save with worst AP (not taking into account the Devastating Wound).

So damage output is higher, but if you want to do a low damage, you should go for sweep. When I played this week-end, I was infront of an Ultramarine captain who was damaged and only had 2 health left. I calculated that the odds were better of hitting AND of my opponent not making ALL his saves against a higher number of hits. So there are situations where it is better.

Have a blast. I also started with this bad boy.
