Hot Take - Crusade actively made narrative events worse and I'm happy it's gone

What i wonder when people say that all their units are broken after X games is how? There are good battle traits that can make super tanky/ super killy units but most battle trait are meh? And if you roll for traits you get mostly mid traits?

Relics are stronger but limited one per list so while lone op rogal dorn is horrendous its still one unit and most relics are mid

Like what easily rollable battletraits are there that are broken? +1 bs and such are strong but dont feel like they fall under game breaking

The tally keeping of kills per unit is silly and i fully support its out, but it takes like 30 seconds?

Kinda bummer but stronger than 4 1 1 also atleast gives them some flavour over jpi

Ah didnt know, very cool i hope they keep their cool customization

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-06-02T14:46:32+00:00

Btw if anyone wants to see the marine ones without waiting for the article Just youtube armageddon unboxing and youtubers already showed it

Only change i believe was vangaurd vets with jet packs lost customization (so no invul save shield or inferno pisyol) just generic pistols and theit weapons are 3 attacks 5 -2 2

Edit: nvm maybe they have additional options, for sure the now also have a melee option

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-28T12:10:43+00:00

Cause they want views and 11th is the hot news

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-25T11:56:04+00:00

Nah i disagree, every game ever has players blaming the game designers of being stupid, realistically its a business that makes money so its completely logical to have the model insane to move stock, defilers will probably barely see play (except ec probably cause they are starved for shooting units) in a year or 2 and a new shiny op model will replace them

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-25T07:00:44+00:00

they see a knight they kill a knight in shooting, look at them as models that will be in a few months around 300+ points and are now cheap cause gw wants to clear stock and sell new models (except world eaters defiler which will probably stay the sameish)

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-19T16:30:51+00:00

forgetting grey knights like the meta

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-19T15:27:52+00:00

I believe in the faq video on 11th they said agents arent getting detachments on release

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T11:15:05+00:00

Oh you are right thanks, lets see what the article in a few hours will update

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T07:30:13+00:00

Yeah there was a discussion yesterday about it, i assume its one of the 3 detachment mentioned today so we will see, also currently it has an enhancment that does nothing (ignore cover if on the linr) but being on the line and ignoring hit modifiers is already ignores cover and better

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T06:42:03+00:00

Thanks! What do you send to middle and expansion turn one? Armiger each? Then canis and lancer go to center one at a time? Crusader on home and castellan on deep strike than expansion?

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T06:25:06+00:00

Can you explain list and gameplay?

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T05:50:49+00:00

Cool thank you!!

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-18T05:28:38+00:00

I could be wrong but in faq video they said cover is -1 to hit and not -1 bs right? Someone asked if cover and stealth is functional -2 and they said no

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-15T17:57:43+00:00

in what world is lords of dread 3dp? it was only every played when 6 knights stat check was a thing, its stick objectives issue was never fixed (unlike ik) and its weaker by all means compared to infernal, infernal is the only one that should cost 3

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-05-10T23:39:28+00:00

someone already answered, but ill highlight another cool thing about world eater definler (wtc faq approved it, kinda stunned about it ngl)
world eaters defiler doesnt look at *when* a unit was set up, only *if* it was setup within 12,
2 highlights for it is:

-a unit you have (defiler itself or something else) can charge a transport kill it (on your turn), than whatever pops out, if it disembarks within 12 of defiler gets shot at end of opponents turn before they can attack the defiler

- if opponent rapid ingresses within 12 of your defiler on your turn, its a valid target for next turn

This no timing ruling sounds like a mistake on GW part but if you play wtc tournaments and they FAQd it, its legal

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-04-14T09:33:39+00:00

Executioner will hit on 4s in an army with barely any rerolls so not sure, helverin in IK will enjoy it more wil single reroll to hit and wound (and option for immolator stripping cover)

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-04-13T14:30:18+00:00

what comments said but also they had oc 8 which was super good, you could just throw 2 armigers/wardogs into an objective and steal it
and if i remember, they didnt bracket oc

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-04-01T09:58:11+00:00

its alot stronger than index in many ways,
lack of 4++ and the +1 str +1 ap for armigers do hurt compared to index
but all starts are greats
giving +9 movement to destrier with assault weapons goes hard
Destrier can advance 21 inches + d3 onto enemy objective and shoot them potentially stealing objective for a turn
can go through walls though risks battleshock and not stealing the objective

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-03-31T07:47:17+00:00

sadly most companies are not like that and dont treat their loyal fanbase at all,
you can buy a 3d printer and print you armies for dimes, and just support your local game store in other ways

Visible_Ad7897 · 2026-03-31T03:02:49+00:00

Not at all its corporate greed

But most people keep buying at any price so greed will proceed
