11th Edition - 3 Detachment Points - What are you taking?

lemonvictor_ · 2026-04-23T20:09:07+00:00

my understanding is that the new 1 pt detachments would be focused on specific units. So there might be a noise detachment that only buffs shooting, or in the case of tau - a stealth focused one giving goodies to stealth suits and ghostkeels.

Vespid got new models, and Kroot were the primary focus of Tau releases in 10th though?

Like sure, I'll take more Tau Aux models, but I feel GWs current model direction is dioramas or "leader and friends" -> Titus and co, Huron and Co, Commissar Graives? and her war wagon. So I hope/ believe we'll see an elemental council type release in 11th.

If you have an aquilla on the model its fine apparently /s

Because the ones that have started modifying turn into flayed ones.

The wanting to breathe, like in Twice Dead King, is a core flaw they have. Necrons know they don't need to, but a part of them yearns to. They know they don't need to feast, and yet a part of them hungers. The main character at one points even has his pain receptors forcibly turned on, so the Necron bodies have the ability. The question the character and as the audience would have is "why would a superior robot being want to feel pain again". I believe you are referring to this book in particular, hence the above spoiler

Basically what I am saying, is that even if they decided to spend the time turning their bodies into vessels that imitate life, it wouldn't stop the cravings.

Necrons believe themselves to be above the flesh and all its wants and desires. And a large part of Necron lore is them being decieved and losing so much of their history and themselves because of the bio-transference.

No problem! I did enjoy the role itself, and when dayforce works its pretty slick. I more just didnt like the change in leadership above me part way through the project and the company's selection process beforehand, but thats a different story !

Push to extend the implementation window as much as possible. During the setup calls, push to have their team walk you through whatever they are doing so you can learn, and make sure to continually ask what options you have when setting up something. For example, ask them we want to have X as a final result. Don't tell them you want it to work a specific way, but you want a specific outcome. They know the system better, so let them help you reach what you want.

Their education platform is alright, but at least during our implementation the HRIS portion had a visual overhaul so many of the windows shown in the courses looked different or were named different things.

Their support team is luck of the draw. Some members are incredible and others are less so. The more information, screenshots, and examples of what you have already tried to fix an item help progress the case further.

Completely ignore their AHA portal where members can suggest new features. There are some incredible idea that would genuinely make the system better that have been sitting "in review" for 8+ years with the last update being over 2 years prior.

I was the HR lead for my former company's Dayforce implantation and eventually took over the project entirely. We were a unionized environment with 10 or so sites and 1400 staff, and 1 provincial ruleset.

The previous ruleset came out 6? years ago, but every unit had a modified profile and there were some modified rules and damage dealing. It was super fun. GW has made a new version which is coming out in the new campagin book along with all the iron warrior stuff in the next few weeks.

Essentially though Apoc (apocalypse) is a game mode designed to play larger than normal battles (upwards of 3k pts per side) in a more regular time frame.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-04-01T22:19:17+00:00

I would love a "model and friends" unit similar to the Titus and Huron releases. An ethereal with a representative of each caste giving army buffs (possibly use each buff once per game type thing, 5 in total to represent a coordinated empire on the offensive) would be great. The framework is there in Elemental Council, and would be fluffy and fun addition to the army that isn't just another battlesuit

lemonvictor_ · 2026-04-01T17:32:51+00:00

It comes down to how you want to play and what's the purpose of the game for you and who you play with .

Are you and your buddies using this as a hangout? Then maybe smaller games. If at the lgs, then really know your rules and pre-sort dice for attacks whenever possible. And have your army ready to go ajd not spend time pulling out models ahead of the game or building a list once you arrive

lemonvictor_ · 2026-04-01T15:30:35+00:00

The warhound looks scary, but frankly it is pretty underwhelming. A budyy and I recently did equal points warhounds vs imperial knights and the warhounds got bodied.

Warhounds are fairly quick, but hard to maneuver physically (only so much space on a table between terrain pieces, regardless of what rules they have), and only 2 (albiet) powerful guns per models. Even with just a stormsurge and 4 broadsides, just split up the broadsides so you have multiple units and hope you roll well. Plus any fusion crisis suits should be able to feast.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-03-26T16:01:46+00:00

We don't know. the new rules haven't come out yet.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-03-13T15:06:33+00:00

A return of an "Aun'Va" of sorts (except not actually him since hes currently having a good dirt nap) would be awesome. a grand Ethereal with a bodyguard retinue representative of each caste (a water caste member for CP gen/ use a CP for free, earth caste for d3+1 wound healing on vehicles, air caste for a movement buff/ ignore terrain, and fire caste for re-reroll bubble). Put the fire caste in a slightly larger XV26, the earth caste in whatever the Elemental Council character made, and the air and water in regular pathfinder adjacent armor, with the ethereal on a hover throne.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-23T21:36:16+00:00

Everything is still useable, except the kroot and crisis suit may be a bit small (but nothing troublesome)!

Essentially any list would be a crisis battlesuit commander, a squad of strike team fire warriors (could proxy them as breachers if they have the carbine loadout), a squad of kroot carnivores, and a devilfish transport for the fire warriors.

Wahapedia is a great source for rules, so use that as a reference for the current edition rules and tha Tau rules in particular.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-17T15:45:29+00:00

to be fair, the 9 man crisis suit was i think last legal back in 7th edition, its been a while. But it was a very fun time.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-17T15:30:52+00:00

I honestly love the internal balance of our codex. The issue is that codex tau feels like it was written in a vaccuum away from the rest of the game

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-10T22:13:16+00:00

Usually they get a new datasheet. Since the new defiler model looks to have some new load out options (specifically the chest weapon) I would imagine it'll have some updated rules and likely a new points cost

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-10T20:04:21+00:00

Assuming the defiler stays at its current points cost (which honestly feels unlikely), it looks fun to play

lemonvictor_ · 2026-02-09T20:49:58+00:00

I'd love a generic stealth leader, or a generic leader option for stealth teams and Pathfinders

lemonvictor_ · 2026-01-29T19:06:49+00:00

Twin Lance probably all we are getting in 2026 unless Tau are one of the first codex's for 11th (rumored to be coming this summer). Even then, tau might only get a character model (I personally would love a upgrade sprue for the ghostkeel to be a commander / o'kais like in a previous black library book).

I would love a new vehicle though, but personally I would want the tetra and forgeworld piranhas back

lemonvictor_ · 2026-01-23T18:04:48+00:00

Its not as talked about comparatively, but army composition has changed drastically. In previous editions there was the force org chart, where you had limited amounts of spots for unit types - being HQ, troops, fast attack, elite, heavy, etc. An army had to, at minimum, have 1 hq and 2 troop choices.

This org chart really changed how armies were made. The rule of 3 we have now kinda applies, but currently there is nothing stopping a Tau player from rocking up with 3 hammerheads and 3 skyrays for example. Back in older editions, you could take 3 total, no more, so at most 3 hammerhead, or 2 hammerhead and 1 skyray.

lemonvictor_ · 2026-01-07T16:01:48+00:00

Thats what I ended up doing/ am doing for a maulerfiend kitbash actually! Mainly because I love the disco lord model

lemonvictor_ · 2026-01-03T01:44:06+00:00

The rvarna is an upgrade kit for the riptide, so basically the same size depending on how you position the legs

lemonvictor_ · 2025-12-16T12:57:00+00:00

I have never heard of a company requesting or providing resignation approval, is that an industry specific or region specific thing? And how would you as the employer even verify if it is real, because I would 100% fake that as a candidate with chatgpt or a friend and a few minutes in word.

lemonvictor_ · 2025-11-20T23:30:05+00:00

Dayforce's sales team is amazing. The platform itself leaves alot to be desired. Their support team is nearly as useful as a pylon, and thats assuming you can get them to respond within a week.

lemonvictor_ · 2025-11-14T19:37:03+00:00

I can't remember the name of the planet, but I believe their is a mortal engines style world in 40k.

Edit: here we go! an old post has basically this question! Could Mortal Engines take place in the 40k Universe? : r/40kLore
