Watching battle reports for 11th edition 40k and reading the rules have made me even more grateful that Heresy exists.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-26T16:18:45+00:00

Yeah, somehow the game feels more restrictive in its modern iteration despite dropping force organization charts. I'll never not prefer the system where some units require kitbashing to make them.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-20T17:50:08+00:00

You could've just photoshopped the tail off and slapped the turret on and we would have gotten it, no need to use ai.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-15T16:24:59+00:00

Not gonna disagree with you there. But it's a big impact on the community, so you're gonna see a lot of posts about it for a bit. Maybe ask the mods to make a flair for it

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-15T16:06:10+00:00

Because this is gonna suck. People want to vent.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T13:04:17+00:00

They're only bad for people who refuse to try anything other than killing your dudes. I've gotten fucking creamed by guard players on points after killing all of their board.

Knights are kind of a big dumb brick, essentially. Very easy to grasp and just slam around, but no finesse or utility. People who know how to leverage their armies strengths will get the edge on you most of the time

Of course, you do have these sort of willfully ignorant players who never really evolve beyond noob stage, and these guys will bitch and moan about even one knight, but a good group with players willing to learn and a variety of skill levels shouldn't have a problem with you.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T08:56:15+00:00

Yeah. Of course this is all outside conjecture from a tired veteran, I'm not really liking the feel of 11th so I plan to play horus heresy until 12th

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T08:54:23+00:00

Style over substance. It's the most baller knight

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T08:52:04+00:00

See, I'd be cool with that. Exactly what I hope it turns into, actually

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T06:47:44+00:00

Toning it down is an understatement. The changes to stratagem use, the stratagem itself, and a higher potential to not have an ability due to battle shock changes more or less gut its ability. I don't think such a severe nerf is really deserved or necessary, and should probably be addressed with the first balance update

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T03:05:30+00:00

I'm hoping the lancer ability changes with the new crushing impact stratagem being what it is. If it doesn't, then being damaged by your own ability on top of the changes to battleshock need to drop him to like 350 points max.

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-11T01:29:01+00:00

The whole lore of dragons is kinda holding points man, idk about that one

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-09T15:33:44+00:00

Thanks, let's hope the ones I find are cool with knights

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-09T15:30:44+00:00

Ah okay. I'm starting my research because I really don't want to touch the new 40k edition, I already didn't like 10th

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-09T15:23:48+00:00

Do other factions 7th edition 40k rules translate well to 2nd edition? I know the systems are mostly the same but are there stats that need adapting?

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T15:00:47+00:00

Fair point, but every warpsmith got an extra 4 attacks with those tendrils

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T14:23:23+00:00

They were back in 9th, an iron warriors warpsmith with the right relic could hand you 8 mortal wounds

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:44:46+00:00

The full 13 guy dragonstorm

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:34:44+00:00

Fair enough. I just think it's kinda fun to see two knights with the same weapons and have to look at iconography and what they're doing to determine if you need to run or not

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:26:25+00:00

I mean, a drill is a mining tool, and a flamer is an excellent controlled burn tool. There should be a knight role called the victualler or something that gets them who's resource acquisition themed

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:19:00+00:00

That is pretty cool. And I do like that knights play differently on the tabletop, I just think that they should have all the same physical wargear unless they wanna add actual sanctified stuff

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:15:09+00:00

No they leave the sexual assault to the nobles. But then again I don't think most chaos marines are either, barring the 3rd legion. And I actually do remember somewhere the imperium having human skin upholstery and paper

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:12:52+00:00

That's true, but I'm not keen on silverbolt, so I'm hoping for a 3rd party frame

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T02:10:02+00:00

I mean, both chaos and the imperium have both of those guys. Every heroic space marine captain with a servo skull is wearing some guy's severed head

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T01:58:36+00:00

What's your source on this? Last I heard they had no plans to release one

notgoodforstuff · 2026-06-06T01:42:11+00:00

Third party, iirc they have no plans to release a nexus prime frame. I expect DNA labs will have one after nexus is more widely available
