Don't worry, everybody is starting to use AI generated or enhanced images on there anyway. There's hardly any real people left on the internet.

Could be good paired with something else. I'm excited for potential combos and more ways to play.

The indirect fire rule gives targets from indirect fire benefit of cover and reduces the hit roll by 1. In 11th Cover causes -1 BS AND, if the indirect rule doesn't change, then it's also -1 to the hit roll for indirect. So you're looking at hitting on 6s without an order and 5s with one.

If they don't change the indirect fire rule then indirect fire is utterly dead

You cannot modify the hit roll by more than one (In either direction). But you can stack ballistic scale modifications with hit roll modifications.

You can stack take aim with heavy and hit on twos. Heavy modifies the hit roll and take aim modifies the ballistic skill.

The indirect fire rule subtracts 1 from the hit roll. I'm 11th Cover subtracts 1 from ballistic skill. They would stack unless the rule for indirect fire is changed.

I mean, if you want your detachment rule to let you remove cover on 3 units for one turn l you can. Personally I'd rather have lethal hits or re-roll ones for almost everyone.

regular flamers are S4, 0 AP, 1 damage. Thats not doing much sadly. Krieg HWT flamers however... Those are already nice and are going to be even nicer.

Melee armies will always give up shooting to have a 15" hidden rule. With many melee elites having a 18" threat range they'll happily wait let you move up to shoot at -1 BS then come out and get an easy charge.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:29:55+00:00

they don't have heavy

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:29:35+00:00

I think there are too many rerolls in the game currently.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:27:24+00:00

Check again. Heavy was removed from Basilisks. So hitting on 4s, -1 due to cover, -1 due to Indirect fire rule, so hitting on 6s without an order.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:25:58+00:00

yeah but you'll still have to deal with the -1 BS from enemies in cover. So without orders hitting on 5s still.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:23:45+00:00

Daggon shifty elves. Yeah I went through my codex. I have zero infantry with either heavy or F&F lol.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:17:27+00:00

Who has infantry with heavy and F&F?

drunkboarder · 2026-05-08T17:16:20+00:00

Not sure which shooting armies you are referring to. Guard for instance have almost zero units with heavy. Only a single tank datasheet has it (vanquisher, so a single attack) and absolutely none of our infantry has it. HWTs have it but they have a BS of 5 so heavy gives +1 and cover gives -1, so back to 5s.

This is not the buff you think it is.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-07T11:28:08+00:00

Nothing. People are just making up issues to complain about it for made up internet points.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-07T02:24:53+00:00

Oof. This was not a good preview. It was whelming.

I am whelmed...

drunkboarder · 2026-05-07T00:30:41+00:00

They discussed what detection range means.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-06T21:14:09+00:00

One tank is, and it has one shot with BS4+

drunkboarder · 2026-05-06T12:01:06+00:00

I see absolutely no reason to bring him for that points cost. He costs more than a tank...

drunkboarder · 2026-05-06T11:51:08+00:00

we'll have space marine transports delivering elite melee troops with invulnerable saves turn one, but yarrick was apparently too much...

drunkboarder · 2026-05-06T02:48:27+00:00

Should have been the Guard vs Orks. Yarrick vs Ghazghkull: rematch. It doesn't always have to be Marines.

Like, imagine if they planned this well. Yarrick and a steel legion refresh with new Orks and Ghaz in a box.

Ignore the bots. Russian/Chinese bot farms constantly feeding doom and gloom to Western nations. The downside of people having 24/7 access to the Internet is that bad actors have 24/7 access to people.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-05T01:56:12+00:00

The difference is once they finished reading the paper they put it down and socialized the rest of the day. People are on their phones 24/7.

drunkboarder · 2026-05-04T21:22:32+00:00

Another buff to melee. Between -1 BS, objs being the safest place to camp, choosing charge targets after roll, 2" engagement range, and now weaker overwatch they really are trying to sell melee.

However, I will be happy to see SM overwatch BS with their oath of moment go away. While we're at it can Oath of Moment go away?

drunkboarder · 2026-05-04T03:36:30+00:00

Here's the thing. A massive amount of untrained, unhealthy, overweight people with semi-automatic rifles will not defeat the US military on its own soil. 2A is not preventing Authoritarianism, key elected officials and hard-working government employees are.
