  1. CSM wishlist:

    – Let the MoP grant Possessed a +1 Strength Bonus, or even a +1 To Wound. There is so many S5 melee units in this list already, and these big, bulky models can easily be justified hitting a bit harder.
    – Let Possessed get Dev Wounds when Charging instead of once per game.
    – The regular Sorcerer should be a "luitenant" type option like the MeE, as there is no way he can fit even vaguely competitively otherwise.
    – A bit cheaper Obliterators (even Liam thought so despite winning this weekend).
    – D6+2, AP3 on Maulerfiend Fists/Defiler Claws.
    – Cheaper Heldrake and Lord Discordant
    – Cheaper Abaddon (or give him a bit of Feel No Pain so that he can actually lead from the front like the warrior king he is supposed to be)
    – Some strat/detatchment rule adjustments to help make the detachments a bit more internally balanced. A few tweaks here and there could do a lot.
    – Minor cost adjustments as mentioned otherweise.

  3. I had a Solitaire blitz and charge my Cypher but I rolled 6 6's on my saves and he lived with 1 wound. It ended up being the pivotal point in the game, as it was near the center where his Avatar of Khaine was, and Cypher living until my turn meant any defensive strats for the Avatar were too expensive.

  4. Since they bring up the Master of Possession having 8” move and being attached to Chosen, which have a 6” move, can someone please explain how moving a unit with different movement values work?

    As I understand the rules, when you move a unit you technically move each model individually. So the MoP would move it’s 8” but the rest of the Chosen would still only move 6”? Or do you take the highest value and apply it to the whole unit, so since the Chosen would get the MoP’s 8” move?

  5. I'd disagree a little that Chosen don't hit that hard, especially if you use the right strategems and/or characters.

    In my last game, I had a brick of Chosen one-shot a Brutalis Dread sitting on an objective by using Ruinous Raid, and that was before my character or the two Chosen armed with Power Fists even fought. -3 AP is no joke.

  6. so many needless changes to CSM datasheets.
    Why can venom crawlers only level up in melee now ?
    Why did they change possessed to only have dev wounds once per game?
    Why did oblits basically get hit with 4 nertfs at once ?

  7. Can someone explain why they say the hellbrute needs vehicles in the list with it? Nothing in the rules says it only affects vehicles? Also what do they mean when they say Fabius bile can blank 2 attacks cuz of the surgeon? The surgeon’s ability is to blank 1 and Fabius just gives toughness to the unit and he himself comes back on a 2+

  8. Both Vindicators and Forgefiends suffer from the problem of economies of scale, where they’re casino guns when there’s one of them and then actually deadly when there’s two to three. I would definitely say the Vindicator is better than the Forgefiend in this regard, however I don’t get the enjoyment of murdering my own tank with the Vindicator, so it ends up balancing out.

  9. I'd actually rank Noise Marines much higher and near Legionaires just for the fact they're actually a cheap shooting unit (and a mobile one at that) vs Legionaires being only good for melee. That they get Battleline with Lucius is a bonus.
