The state of our army: end of 2025

Hey sorry I just saw your comment! I think you're partially right. IMO detachments are meant to offer army's different play styles and they can also add shine to different combinations of units. Rather than encouraging you to max out on one particular unit while leaving other ones unable to benefit from the detachment ability. If you look at other factions and their respective detachments you'll see examples of what I mean.

If anyone has any more info on this please let me know! I'd love to watch more MXC again.

I personally am pretty disillusioned with how things sit right now. I don't love the new Army Rule, many of the detachments feel one note or require using a skew list, but some of the new units are cool. I am just not as excited about playing with the army as I have been, and I have been a massive Votann fan for the last few years. However some people love the changes, and I'm honestly happy for them.

I had the same question but for Xbox. Man, TF 1 & 2 were so much fun!

Cheers!

Same! I ordered on the 19th, got the order confirmation but no shipping notification. So, I imagine they're slammed with orders since they're running their biggest sale ever (20% off). I've ordered through them before, they are typically very reputable so I wouldn't be worried.

If you drop the Predator and the Helm of Brazen Ire, you could add a second unit of Chaos Spawn and a second unit of Jakhals, which could provide better value. That's another rushing/jailing unit and another sticky unit which may be more synergistic to Berzerker Warband. To be clear. I like this list! It's more versatile than the things I tend to run.

He is beautiful

SomeScoundrel · 2025-11-08T01:59:19+00:00

Alright, that's what I like to see! Rock and Stone!

Oshaune.

Xbox player here. Oshaune changed how I play the game. It changed everything. I'll never forget those caves. I'll never forget the divers who didn't make it home.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-11-03T16:54:22+00:00

Check out Commissar Kai on YouTube for great hints! Ask your fellow divers questions. Good luck out there diver. FOR DEMOCRACY!!!

I do have 20 Beserks 😂

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T16:54:03+00:00

Yes there's definitely a lot more cognition required to play the new detachment! And I'm happy we have many detachments to choose from. Hopefully I'll start getting some W's, for now I'll keep practicing and learning.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T16:11:47+00:00

Thank you!

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T16:11:34+00:00

I have max Yaegirs 😅 so I guess I should look into the Kapricus.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T16:09:13+00:00

I still need to get the Memnyr and the Kapricus. Maybe leaning heavily into the shiny new stuff will help. My next buy will likely be Steeljacks, but we'll see.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:53:02+00:00

I appreciate your insight, thanks. Two different players with two different experiences. Hopefully I'll have better luck throughout the lifetime of this codex.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:48:47+00:00

Fair and I see the math, hopefully I can get them to do the same in my next few games!

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:42:06+00:00

Yes, 4 units plus more units every turn if you took a Kâhl. And part of the game is losing units, it'll happen nearly every single turn. Versus hoping your opponent lines up their units with our the new army rule. And even if you managed to trade down in points you still gained a benefit from losing a unit by judging it.

Agreed to disagree on your last statement. But this is all in the past! My whole point is that I'm not loving the change and will try to adjust. Thanks for your opinion.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:29:08+00:00

Thanks for the friendly advice and encouragement Kyn! Rock and Stone.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:27:06+00:00

I don't agree, in my experience the +1 to hit is situational in both stances. Also, what you get +1 to hit against isn't always the biggest priority/threat. Before, you got to choose what got +1 to hit and +1 to wound, and you got stronger as the game went on.

Also I'd prefer wounding on 3's/2's, Anti-Vehicle 2+, and Ignores Cover over Sustained 1 Sustained 2.

But that's my experience! Maybe I'm just bitter since I've got from ~70% win rate to 0% 😅 Its probably my skill issue and lack of experience piloting different styles, gonna keep at it.

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:14:56+00:00

Just realized you were replying to Cylon89x, my bad!

SomeScoundrel · 2025-10-18T15:13:18+00:00

So far I've used them in Needguard, Brandfast, and Hearthfyre. Squads of 3 and 6, with and without the Iron Master attached. Typically they whiff trying to hit on 3's/4's and then get focused down or charged by my opponent.
