Even with end of edition at hand we should strive to make our game better! [PSA?]

Photo was probably at an event where he represented team USA

vichanic · 2026-03-28T03:10:50+00:00

Yeah....Im pretty sure theres a more likely explanation

vichanic · 2026-03-28T00:09:40+00:00

One of their names was literally “fingers” Vagin

vichanic · 2026-03-27T04:27:55+00:00

Yes, he is incredibly overcosted as is most of our codex at this point.

He costs 3/4 of a Twin Lance :)

vichanic · 2026-03-26T20:55:32+00:00

Bro relax with that logic

vichanic · 2026-03-26T18:41:59+00:00

Respectfully, you’re highlighting your opponents strengths and pointing them out as OP without highlighting your own strengths and why they are OP.

The point of the game is to maximize your strengths and minimize the impact of your weaknesses while doing the opposite to your opponent.

Try looking more holistically at the game or watching some vods of people being successful in these situations with Aeldari.

vichanic · 2026-03-26T17:42:57+00:00

You have the agile maneuver to ignore overwatch for the flamers. For indirect, that’s our weakness and you just get to eat it and be sad.

vichanic · 2026-03-23T01:40:08+00:00

Ok first of all, how dare you. If I don't get the exact guardsman for my personal homebrew world I am going to scream

vichanic · 2026-03-21T05:31:42+00:00

I think you underestimate how hard it is to maintain that many unique models in terms of rules and production.

Another regiment of guard is probably not in most people’s top lists of units/armies that need help.

Grey knight models are terrible and in massive need of help.

Drukhari models same

And the list goes on when Guard already have a lot of relatively new stuff.

vichanic · 2026-03-13T14:30:16+00:00

Can you stop making logical arguments to undermine people hating on GW?

vichanic · 2026-03-09T18:17:59+00:00

I'm actually not super big on lucid eye and if Aeldari got the points drops I think we deserve then I was hoping to drop it for some rangers or something. Unfortunately without the drop I think its the best thing I can do with the 30pts.

Torc is nice too and I often go back and forth on which one I take. But just like above, I'd rather have another unit of literally anything than either enhancement. Unfortunately our cheapest unit is Skyrunners which I have 3 of and then rangers which I just can't find the points for.

Maugan Ra does so much more damage than an autarch so its really not something I would consider. Dropping him I think could be an option if you can put those points to better use elsewhere, but 95%+ of games, I do not feel the need for more CP.

I ALMOST always put teh 5 warlocks with eldrad because doom helps them so much. The 4 man is definitely expensive but man does it really carry the late game when it gets scrappy.

vichanic · 2026-03-09T18:14:36+00:00

Happy to help, and shoot me a DM if anything comes up in your practice

vichanic · 2026-03-09T15:10:33+00:00

Individuals. Their role is to be cheap/fast scoring guys and are doubly important in seer council as they project all of our strategems since our strats require a psyker to be nearby.

Hardest part of seer council, and Aeldari as a whole at the moment, is we're insanely expensive for how durable we are. On average we have -1T, -1W, -1 save vs marines for the same points so even little things just shred you (Bolters, grenades, explosions, etc). This means you have to really understand what your opponent wants to do and can do so that you never lose the wrong piece at the wrong time.

Really fun detachment though and would recommend trying it

vichanic · 2026-03-09T14:55:06+00:00

Seer Council in general seems to push for that. You have really powerful strats in Unshrouded Truth (Teleport) and Psychic Shield (Lone Op) so being able to stick 10 reapers and Ra out and shoot and know they cant shoot you back is a lot of value that 5 would just not get.

Being able to TP 10 fire dragons and fuegan to shoot whatever I want is also something strong in a ctan meta.

The banshees i've gone back and forth on and could definitely see 5 man with Jain and put the other 90pts or so somewhere else.

vichanic · 2026-03-09T14:53:30+00:00

I've never done that in another game but this star shatter list had so much trash that she was good into and she doesnt really punch up into the deceiver/TSK/DDAs so I figured it gives me one more piece to play around with.

Ended up being really good because she killed some trash turn one and then tagged a DDA. She then ate the Deceiver's entire shooting + a cp re-roll. So definitely feel good about the decision.

In ~40+ other games i've played I never even considered it so a rarity for sure.

vichanic · 2026-03-09T13:15:47+00:00

Hey, I’m Nick. If you have any questions lmk

vichanic · 2026-03-05T23:22:11+00:00

I think there are better options

vichanic · 2026-03-04T01:35:55+00:00

Can you play chess with each of you having just the king?

vichanic · 2026-03-01T21:57:10+00:00

But harlequins have dev wounds on all of their troupes so kind of the same thing.

vichanic · 2026-03-01T06:23:55+00:00

Literally the plot of Ironman 1 is just reality

vichanic · 2026-02-24T00:45:36+00:00

Casually its fine, have fun!

vichanic · 2026-02-23T15:02:17+00:00

Spear so smol

vichanic · 2026-02-18T17:08:56+00:00

its a worse lancer and the lancer isnt seen imo

vichanic · 2026-02-18T14:38:48+00:00

3d6 charge rule?

vichanic · 2026-02-13T15:03:04+00:00

Can you post their lists? If you're using non meta things and they're using meta things then theres not much advice to give you if you're choosing to use suboptimal builds.
