PSA that they've issued an FAQ to allow non-codex chapters to take this unit now!

Note also that they have explicitly included Deathwatch!

Yeah but when can Deathwatch take the sneaky Marines that were just released?

Link?

Where is it?

https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/warhammer_40000_repulsor_executioner_update_en.pdf

Is here.

Wait, didn't it use to be 185?

Ayup. Twin stubber also went from 9 to 10.

Don't tell me they raised the cost...It's already overcosted...LOL

They did. It's the same cost as the old repulsor, so maybe its a typo.

Typo or no, its the new cost.

Well done gee dubs, well done.

How dumb is GW? Probably take 3 weeks to fix this.

Whatchu mean 3 weeks? They just "fixed" it with this FAQ. As-in fixed it so that their sales get hurt so bad by it that the next Chapter Approved will drop the points for both Repulsor tanks (fingers crossed)

I'd bet some money that it was a cut and paste error.

Your logic is sound when considering it is GW we are talking about Though ofc real business smarts would be to lower the things point cost on your new 100$ dollar tank. LOL.

Perhaps but will they admit it in that case?

No way they re-print the costs if they intended it to stay the same...

I mean, we are dealing with GW here but that seems like such a bone head move I find it hard to believe it is a mistake.

Why even open yourselves up to a mistake if you weren't touching them.

And I'm still pissed that DW can't take the new phobos. I have no idea why they are being excluded but it's really annoying

Bone head? GW? That's like chocolate and peanut butter.

Someone asked in the GW 40K thread, and they responded it was a increase not a Error.

So intended to cost more.

Oh, stupid for another reason, then. It needed a points drop, not increase.

<sarcasm>Or maybe GW are the only ones that realize just how OP Marines are right now!</sarcasm>

Why sarcasm? They might think that.

I think this is actually the point where I stop playing 40k competitively in any sense and just find people to play by the rules I want to play (which are rules that don't suck complete ass). Sheer incompetent rules team. Shinning spears were literally undercosted for a year. They could have made a change like this at any point but didn't. Then we have an obviously overcosted model like the executioner...they release an in between nerf without even looking at tournament data or whatnot. I mean it's so effing baffling it is disgusting. I actually want to slap a person in the face for this. I spent 200$ and a ton of time getting 2 of these ready to play with even knowing they were going to underperform...then they nerf it? WOW.

My Porphy feels your pain.. over there.. on the shelf..

Don't they usually do a post-release FAQ within a set window of release?

It's always a risk with GW. But increasing a non-invuln platform by 30 pts is nuts.

Its 31. The Twin icarus ironhail heavy stubber went from 9 to 10.

It certainly may backfire on them as I went from "cool, deathwatch may now have a viable anti-armour choice so I can go pure DW" to "raised the points already? nah, I'll stick with a Krast knight thanks". Saved $200 right there in one quick post.

Whole lotta this going on right now methinks.

Well, there goes the brief moments of joy I felt when using two executioners at 2K games.

Even though target saturation is key to using high value unit, the points increase makes bringing even a single executioner a daunting challenge.
Let alone using two or more in the 2K list.

I might be biased, but it seems GW is strangely cautious about giving Space Marines cost effective units.

This and the new melee lieutenant without a real melee weapon has pretty drastically dampened my enthusiasm for the new marine codex. I really don't understand why GW is hell bent on making the marines utterly terrible.

One of the biggest problems is Guilleman. He skews so much of marine stuff that it's pointed in such a way to be mostly useless in other chapters. I just don't think GW can see this.
