Creations of Bile are a fairly good melee army. Can be a pseudo world eater list if you don’t want to play world eaters but still get the benefits. Slapping with ap-2 chainswords with str7 attacks or higher is bonkers. Played a dude who ran a list like that and while they still die fairly easy, they were able to just get into my lines. Cheap demon engines are a pain to deal with.
Can confirm nids are busted af, played a game against them a couple of days ago and my csm got obliterated my opponent did 83 mortal wounds in 4 turns…
I was wondering were the Adeptus Custodians fell in the overall ranking, so if anyone could place them somewhere and why that would be appreciated
If you listened to the metawatxh talk he seemed to imply balance slate rules are for old imperial guard codex. But we'll see
Why aren't Warp Spiders rated higher by people?
They're up there for contenders for biggest killers in the Codex.
I think people are overestimating the new guard codex. No vets, no conscripts, loss of squadron keyword on vehicles, etc.
The Dorn abomination and rough riders aren’t going to make up for that. Russes already have issues with cover size, the Baneblade isn’t even viable outside of apoc because of its size, what makes people think the Dorn with be any different?
The Goad Lance (the seemingly OP lance taken by Riders) is only 1 per 5 models. At most you should be running 10 because of unit price, that’s 2 lances. Still have to deal with extremely squishy melee units. They don’t have range options
Do you people not know how to screen your armor units? Like, damn. Broken on paper but virtually useless otherwise
Uhh you forgot Custodes
Chaos Daemons as a whole may be very good right now, but its mostly Tzeentch, and a good bit of Khorne & Slaanesh
meanwhile my boy Nurgle just left in the dust and forgotten ;-;
Hope death guard get some good buffs in 10th. DR needs to be changed to -1 damage and 5++ against mortals. Last game I played with dg, I lost around 1/4 of my army just to mortal wounds which made to me lose interest in playing them given how different they are in lore. Slow, pricey and not very resilient army that lacks good fire-power. I've had much better luck with iron warriors even though they're probably a middle tier chaos army
I'm sure we (Guard) need Artillery accuracy to stay, AoC I'm not sure about if it's really needed.
Warp spiders are the bane of my (Sisters') life.
The first Batrep I watched with the new IG codex was against Black Legion, and their entire army failed to kill a single Rhino in a round of shooting…
It's curious not to see Drukhari here, considering how strong they were not long ago
Please make more videos like this. Focus on one faction/subfaction, talk about what their schtick is (how they're generally supposed I be played), Two to three fun/good ways to play them, then say what about them NEEDS to be nerfed/buffed
Custodes aren't even on the list anymore. How far they have fallen ;_;7 give me obsec termies back plz
Pretty much agree and it will be good once Tz Flamers are reigned in, to be fair I think an 8 to10 point increase would be reasonable.
It's interesting looking at the recent win rates shown on the Warhammer community latest meta watch which puts Codex Tz Flamers and Codex Tz Flamers with Allies way out in front. Having a more recent and therefore smaller sample size leads to more unreliable conclusions but the sample size is big enough to be confident that Tz Flamers are a big issue.
What do you mean by harlequin – turning off re-rolls?
So, space marines are trash…?
Where are the numbers coming from?
I got a good chuckle out of the metawatch rank that just had “Tzeench” on top. So strong that GW removed them from Demons entirely
For CSM, I do wish they had better ranged firepower options for infantry. Alpha Legion feels out of place in the codex with how melee focused the faction seems
do you have time to play 40k yourself? you upload a lot of vids so i assume it’s difficult to find time to play
i don’t really understand, what’s nephilim?
GW over nerfed LOV just to be mean spirited, malicious, sadistic, sociopathic, power hungry, control freaks! I will never forgive them. They did it just because they could, they just like to piss on smaller people. They are cruel and unusual monsters! Freakin' EVIL!!!! EVIL!!!!
GW is like a group of college kids that see a homeless guy on the ground and piss on him. Why? Because they can! And then they laugh about it! Total creeps! Sickos!
Man, If the EMPERORS CHILDREN only had a CODEX
i find it funny that you make it seem like the pistols is what makes harlequins scary. yes, they can take up to four of them in a unit of 5, but i would think that its scarier that they can have access to 3 really dangerous strategems that apply to the whole unit even though one model is equipped with it.
overall, i did like the video. it really would be interesting to see how this list changes at the start of the new year when missing units hit the battlefields
