Pretty sure Rubric Marines CAN'T get the renegade raiders bonuses?
They don't share the faction keyword and they can't neither use the Rhinos, still a nice support (especially as reservs) but interesting as strong as it sounds.
That's not Grey Knights.
The Necron player who went undefeated was cheating by bringing his void dragon and nightbringer on via deepstrike through the army rule rather than via strat reserves so that list isn't deserving of a mention.
Feels like massively nerfing reinforcement stratagems hugely boosted single powerful models, since it’s harder to tarpit them.
I bad balanced nerf from GW and orks are Gone…. GJ games workshoo
As an Aeldari player, see you guys in 11e. We must apparently pay for six months of being strong. Got to suck for the rest of 10th as penance.
Anyone know how Josh Roberts attached the Chaos Lords and what went in Rhinos?
This is a year where tournaments have been won by Kroot, Chaos Cult and now Sisters of Silence lists. What a time to be alive.
lol I forgot that Rubriks keep Battleline even if they are allied into CSM. That's kinda wild.
The sisters list ran the Dialogus alone, and used her as an action monkey from strategic reserves. The Jump Canoness was also ran solo, and came in from deep strike.
No GT for Mechanicus? 😢
Finally tyranids can play in a fun way
Some of these lists look like they got lucky.
Wish my faction had a tournament winning list. Wish my faction had a list that performed even remotely average. I guess GW decided that if I go to an event I deserve to lose…
Bringers of Flame is probably the most viable due to some radical points increases for units that didn't really warrant them for other detachments.
Repentia in particular going from 55 to 90 points for 5 is not at all appropriate for the buffs they got, they are better but not 7pts/model better. Mortifiers and Penitent Engines also took big bumps at +15/+20 each and they are essentially unchanged the mortifiers are slightly nerfed losing speed for their increased save so that hurts The Penitent Host detachment. Similarly Zephrim going from 60 to 90 is going to hurt the Army of Faith detachment and all Zephrim got was lethal hits or sustained hits 1 in melee (or discard a miracle dice for both) and lost +1S on the charge. Seraphim going from 70 to 85 hurts too but at least Seraphim were performing well enough that +3 points per Seraphim is still worth it.
Also for some reason, and to the great benefit of Bringers of Flame, Dominions cost the same as a BSS. 4 special weapons instead of 1 heavy and 1 special can be split by immolators in the same way and generate miracle dice exactly as well as BSS do but with a cheeky little fall back D6" rule should an enemy move within 9" of them allowing you to possibly evade a charge then advance back in for another round of shooting. Even Storm Bolters look strong on Dominions in this ruleset. Assault 4 shots at S5, AP0, D2 is already decent, then add in immolator and castigator support, and you have 4 shots, BS3+, S5, AP -1, D2. That's like having a squad equipped with 4 heavy bolters IF those heavy bolters had assault, could assault and benefit from heavy in the same phase, and rapid fire 1… Plus they have scout 6" ability which they confer to any transport they're in as well as to a character that joins them in a transport. All in exchange for sticky objectives… GW is going to have to explain this one to me.
Having been a Jormungandr player for tyranids and joining in 9th, I was hoping desperately for a burrower style detachment in 10th. Now that I’ve spent my money on synaptic nexus, I’m thoroughly disappointed that I couldn’t have had those rules sooner
I came to show ba commander some love and support. Not only are his channels great, but he genuinely seems like a good person.
Nobody deserves this win more than he does, nobody.
That said, this does put him in my sights as i try to become the worlds best blood angels player.
I must play against and defeat him now, along with Steve Box, and anyone else until i can win that international world chapionship.
I will get there
Cute to include Tau with their bottom of acceptable range win rate
Wait, how does someone go 6-0 and only take second place? I’ve never been involved with a tournament, but don’t the unbeaten players face one another and the person who wins their match wins first place?
YES! For Dorn and Sigismund! For the Emperor and the Imperium! No pity! No remorse! No fear!
Guessing the Mawloc's gonna get a points nerf in a couple months. I had a feeling it'd be strong with Vanguard Onslaught, but must be a hell of a lot crazier than I thought considering how little of a focus that list has on other Vanguard Invader units and still went 5/0.
