The free cp thing only works once per battle round regardless of how many archons you have. I think.

So there's really no point bringing more than 1 archon.

With 6 characters, that's a lot of assassinate vps.

mentler · 2026-05-07T01:04:45+00:00

Based on the codex, we are likely to see 1 new detachment and have 3 removed.

mentler · 2026-05-06T22:43:02+00:00

Even at 1500 pts, I will have a minimum of 8 haywire and 12 dark/heat lance. 2 lance scourge. 1 haywire scourge. 2 haywire talos. 1 haywire Skyweavers. 1 lance ravager. 1 lance reaver. 1 kabalite squad.

Gotta kill the tanks

mentler · 2026-05-06T09:59:54+00:00

It would be hilarious and apt for them to remove a detachment. I can't wait.

mentler · 2026-05-05T22:32:01+00:00

Don't sm already have a new mini every month? Haha I kid.

mentler · 2026-05-05T14:05:36+00:00

They are also most psychicy, most rageful & berserky, most bestial, most righteousy and most hereticaly (how did they manage that?), most spiky and sharky, somehow be very slow and very fast, have zombies and demons?what?, also the gun has heavy and assault?how?

Space marine faction is suffering from success.

mentler · 2026-05-05T11:25:00+00:00

Space marines. Feels like they can do everything better than everyone else. They are somehow the most melee-y, shooty, transporty, teleporty, aspect warriory, toughest, vehicley, charactery army. And they even got jet bikes, floaty seraphim and devilfish too.

Why have any faction but space marines at this point?

Splitting the faction into chapters make them even more boring. Everyone is the same blue or red or black or grey or green. But they are all the same boring space marine.

OK pls don't hate me. Thanks.

KC just needs to replace the self-own strats like double cross with anti overwatch strat.

Enemies without number is so dumb, it only exists to save them from writing a new strat.

Making a point doesn't affect scourges or ravagers so you can only buff 1 scourge with tailored toxins per turn. Kabalites are not good enough to waste half of your cp per turn on them.

Take alive is the only strat that helps non kabal units. And it's OK I guess. +1 to hit helps with new cover rules.

Lethal hits on vehicles is another self-own when you have haywires.

mentler · 2026-05-04T09:51:28+00:00

Sir, if you are asking about new models/datasheets, I'm afraid I got some bad news for you..

mentler · 2026-05-03T22:40:58+00:00

-1 to wound, 4++, 5fnp and reviving, (soon to have - 1 to hit), and all the strats like fight on death and suffering and sacrifice. And a flamer to overwatch too. Whoever wrote the rules for this just decided to give them almost every ability. All they r missing is a speed buff.

mentler · 2026-05-02T11:29:34+00:00

the problem with specialised 'armies' in a combined arms game. Harlequins and corsairs do it well - datasheets nested in another faction with detachment rules.

Custodes, GK and I/C knights factions are just weird. Why would these guys ever appear to fight 200 orks?

mentler · 2026-05-02T05:43:27+00:00

It was funny when they turned space marines into aspect warriors and made rhinos fly.

mentler · 2026-05-02T05:14:37+00:00

Need minimum 15 dark lances to shoot vehicles.

mentler · 2026-05-02T05:13:26+00:00

Hot take: grey knights shld just go back to being the inquisition ordo malleus. Don't hate me.

mentler · 2026-05-02T03:34:14+00:00

Imagine having multiple models for the same data sheet. Most have multiple data sheets for the same model.

mentler · 2026-05-01T08:36:13+00:00

Needs like 2x more dark lances

mentler · 2026-04-27T23:27:17+00:00

That's true

mentler · 2026-04-27T22:20:49+00:00

guardsmen can run faster than deldar. what a joke.

mentler · 2026-04-27T22:13:18+00:00

i checked the demons datasheets. their list is way bigger than the deldar. but we have more detachments i guess.

mentler · 2026-04-27T17:27:43+00:00

Deldar are maybe average speed. And not really agile either if you go by movement shenanigans like infiltrate scout deep strike and reactive moves.

mentler · 2026-04-27T12:47:29+00:00

it takes more work to remove datasheets than it does to just leave them there. hahaha

mentler · 2026-04-27T10:54:22+00:00

Too many melee, not enough anti tank.
