CORRECTIONS:
– The +1S to Orks in the Waaagh is new, not sure why I didn't clock that at the time. Probably getting it confused with the Goffs buff. In any case, S5 boyz, S6 goffs and S7 Goff Beast Snagga Boyz. I guess they learned to chop harder…
– The Core to The Silent King IS intentional, was mentioned in the Warhammer Community post – I guess he can give himself some pretty epic damage re-rolls in melee now. Not sure if they thought about technomancers reviving a Menhir – that seems ridiculous value from a 70pt engineer metal-boi.
I can't help but feel bad for Tyranids players. I guess it needed to happen, but why did GW let them touch the top of the mountain to begin with? It's like a ritual to them now: release codex, OP madness, then brutal nerf bat.
Scions getting Hammer of the Emperor means a more balanced army rather than just running Conscript horde.
Sorry but as a CSM player I feel a bit screwed.
In May we get AOC now get Astra it too in addition to Hammer of the Emporer. All other races will also be properly buffed.
Astra will still get their codex and will be nicely buffed before that.
All the others already have there Codex and will be buffed further.
Only CSM. No buffs for 2 years. And when the Codex is out, we'll join the midfield.
The only ones who are poorer off are "Daemons" oh wait, that's part of our CSM codex…. I see.
WAAAGH upgrade is noice but it got me thinking that it would be really cool and fluffy if they would auto pass morale during it, maybe instead of the invuln. I really hate how morale feels right now as an ork player lol.
Lol well the Tyranids rules are back on their bullshit from 8th. Just nerf after nerf after nerf.
As a bug player, I've been saying to my buddies since the codex dropped that the Warriors, Raveners and Pyrovores were way too good for their points. The Harpy and Tyrant changes are honestly fine. I do feel that after the FAQ the Malaceptor didn't need to be hit so hard, and the adaptive traits could've stayed
Necron buffs are heavily needed and probably still only make them middling at best, they should have hung Mournival and Infinity Circuit for play testing it and thinking slapping a billion restrictions on mediocre special rules while lowering the stat distribution /nerfing RP was a good idea… always be bitter.
for Hammer of the Emperor, does that apply to special weapons as well, like hot-shot volley guns & plasma guns? or is it only to hot-shot-lasguns?
also what about Taurox Primes? does that affect them as well?
I noticed no real changes to GK or did I just miss them?
Hi, one Question: AdMech, Booster Thrust Strategment. Can I use it again every turn?
lol 40K codex's should basically be printed on dry-erase at this point.
rules boat
These are great changes. Finally fixed Command Protocols… ;u;
Wow, someone at GW got really butt hurt that tyranids could actually compete with other armies for a change.
"Tyranids have been dominant for so long. " rofl, what are you smoking? 'So long' = 2 weeks.
You are a legend. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into keeping me updated on everything I cant be fucked to read through myself :')
hello nice sharing
so now silent king gets core means that you can use rites of reanimation to reanimate a triarchal menhir or bascically heal 5 to 10 wounds for the silent king per turn 🙂
Woohoo! Scions got Hammer of the Emperor!
wait we drukari actually went an update without getting nerfed…makes me worried for the next one. and odd the data slated chaos since they are about to drop their new codex
And written at the same time as the last dataslate.
It's as if GW wanted people to buy models that they wouldn't want 8 weeks later…….
Genestealer cults are so fckin unchanged they are not even mentioned.
Now we need a new tier list for the armies
I love that because of these changes the silent king can now be veil of darknessed along the board
I still think they need to remove that nerf to all arty that isn’t guard. Even though I main guard and play several other factions I don’t think that’s ok. On top of that seeker missiles need to be able to be launched at targets they can’t see as long as they have a marker light on them
Another dataslate? Yeeeesh…enough of these. Back to work on my guard codex!
