  1. sorry, can't take you seriously at all placing GKs at tier 2. How can you in all seriousness place an army that is currently at the bottom of this weeks win rates with tier 2? GKs are at the bottom, below everyone else. The LOWEST. Are all you youtubers completely blinkered and stuck following the same hymn sheet? Looks like it. Just like GW you seem to rate their manouverability so highly you ignore the fact that their ability to act on this manoeuvrability is near non existent. Minimal ability to kill anything.

  2. Finally, someone who puts Adepta Sororitas at the bottom, or at least bottom 3.
    At this point I do not want to whine anymore, I just want people to recognize how broken the faction is so that maybe GW pay some attention to what really matters this time, not just lazy point drops (especially when the units that needed them the most got the smallest point drops). It is like every other faction at the bottom was talked so much more than Sisters and Drukkari, and "surprisingly" they got the least amount of effort into making them viable.

  3. Votann is a solid tier 3. They have game into everyone but the very top now. If they fix his Judgement tokens interact with +1s to hit that are EVERYWHERE in our dataslate then we will be top tier easy.
    Honestly if they just made judgement tokens give +1 BS we would be completely fixed.

  4. Other than the fate dice mechanic being scrapped, what nerfs would you like the Aeldari to have?
    Personally, instead of the Yncarne points increase I would have rather them not be able to charge the same turn it redeploys and have phantasm move a unit D6=+1" rather than a flat 7… also protect should go off on a 2+ for infantry/mounted but a 4+ on monsters and vehicles. Lastly, the Nightspinner should either reduce movement OR stop advancing… not both!

  5. I don't lik this much the link beetween compliant and non-complaiant chapter
    In this way there will never be a balance (ex.: if you play dark angel you have the same goodies of a normal chapter plus unkillable terminator and nice fast supports).
    Maybe it's an error to have the same points on all marines units 🤔

  6. No, insane bravery Nerf was not a 'huge" buff to Chaos Knights.
    Chaos Knights simply do not have a faction or detachment ability. They Just have good Datasheets and very powerful cheap strats, thats all
    In my 30+ Games I have NOT seen A SINGLE meaningful battleshock happen.
    The Game is over by turn 3, and even If you play it out a +1 to wound or -1 to hit rarely still matters
    You know when these would be good? Turn 1 and 2..
    I even take THREE skullcanons after the nerfs, still, battleshock doesnt come up.
    Insane bravery was never played once against me.
    Why? Well because the unit is probably just dead.

    If my karnivore charges the unit on your objective, your unit is likely gone and I have 8OC sitting there, why would I need you battleshocked?

  7. You know what? As a Leagues Votann player, I think the changes had more impact than we tend to believe : 4 double tokens from the get go and an additional 300 points (or more) is HUGE ! I can field an additional 10 einhyr hearthguard unit now. We'll see, but I think they might very well be mid tier now.

  8. How does Eldar deal with hoards? Like wraithguard can't spam mortals into them anymore, so I don't think they have anything they can do against black templars, necrons, or certain tyranids. I would consider this enough to put them behind necrons in tier 1. Amazing video though! Can't wait to see what the meta really looks like!

  9. The change to devastating wounds was huge. I think that made more of an impact than anything with the last data slate.

    I no longer have to worry about wraithknights taking to out my army T1. I’m a DG player btw

  10. I predict that in the next balance data slate chaos space marines will get nerfed. The reasoning is that chaos can't be on top or even viable. Because obviously living in the Goldilocks zone both chaos knights (both times ) and chaos daemons needed a nerf…

    I mean maybe nerf one or two of the named greater demons… But come on greater demons are basically the only answer we have to tanks and stuff… However it looks like they consistently gave a points increase across the board for greater demons. I did recently write GW asking them to make more middle of the ground anti-tank answers for demons. You know something in the 150 to 200 point range. They really need to stop nerfing chaos Knights just because they're nerfing imperial knights.

  11. I think Eldar will be still god, but definitly not longer dominating. They got huge hits on all fronts but their rerolls and that hurts a lot. Also some scary matchups got so much better, in my opinion some shoty armies will be realy scary for them too.

    ANd Custodes … RIP, just got their detachment rule completly removed from the game + a combination of realy bad nerfs. I think it was to much and absolutly the wrong way. Most Custodes Units wont be able to kill anything now.

  12. Elder wont drop from the top tier until they get an actual change to their Fate Dice. Essentially not having to roll for a result and being able to ensure that result as a six is just too strong.

  13. Thanks, Trevy.
    What did i miss with my Tyranids? I admit I'm not a pro player, but the codex is…meh. one in the detachments is laughably bad, two are…meh: they don't have enough troops or hitting power to be scary, GW made unnecessary points increases to units like genestealers so they are borderline unusable in their detachment, the lichtor losing his invuln hurt way more than I expected, the biovores have been neutered, and what the did to the Tyrannofex should be a criminal offense.
    What did I miss that makes them "A-tier". You're not the only one who said this, so I'm genuinely curious.
