Yeah, there is some confusion on this topic but I would not come to the LVO assuming I could use Daemon strats on anything other than units that were Daemon Faction units.

I would assume if I was a Daemon player that a Daemon FAQ would be coming out quickly on the heels of the Daemon book as has been the case with other Cdoex releases. We will look to them to answer these questions but no, I would not plan on deep-striking (or any other similar uses of stratagems) Magnus, Mortarion, the Lord of Skulls, etc. with the Daemon codex. Again, we will look to GW for official answers but as friendly advice, that would be what I would say to anyone thinking about bringing that to the LVO.
The Frontline Gaming guys know whats in the pipeline, and they have hinted before when NOT to do something, and shortly after an FAQ came out nerfing whatever thing they were hinting at not to do. So this changes pretty much everything about the interaction between the Daemons Codex and CSM Daemons. We'll have to wait two weeks before it's official, but since Reece is saying to not do it, we can pretty safely assume it will be nerfed.

We all know it's going to be nerfed but it's a question of the wording of the nerf: will it nerf anything outside of the Daemon Codex, anything with HERETIC ASTARTES keyword, anything with a PL higher than 20, etc.? It's the wording that's going to matter.

I'm not sure he could be any clearer in that statement: Daemon Stratagems will only work on Daemon Codex units (and assuming Forge World Daemons as well).

Well will it be FW daemons as well? If it is worded as Codex Daemon units only then FW Daemons won't be allowed, if it is worded as none Heretic Astartes daemons then FW will be allowed and if it is worded as no Daemons above 20 PL then it is only some FW daemons allowed. That's why I said it will be all about the wording of the nerf.

That's why the Chaos God of War gave us his blessing with a 3CP Fight Again stratagem. Charge 3D6, pile in as much as you can, kill the bubble wrap, consolidate through the gaps, activate stratagem, pile in further through the gaps, fight to remove the remaining wrap, consolidate INTO everything you can. Because the stratagem is at the end of the fight phase, it means they cannot attack back after you use it. You've then tied up some of the enemy units.

I will concede that there are far better ways to go about removing bubble wrap, however I play mono Khorne so I've got to find ways to make things like this work with the tools I have. Those tools are mostly melee. They aren't the worst tools either, they just require a little more strategy and investment than others. I'm willing to make that investment to stay mono Khorne while staying as competitive as I can.

Good old GW catering to Imperials. A Deepstriking Primarch is too much, but an outflanking Tallarn Baneblade (with or without ride hitching ogryns) that can't even fit according to its deployment restrictions is just fine.

I don't know why they would be able to since it is activated at the END of the fight phase, and just like things that happen at the END of the movement phase, you can't do anything with other units during this period. You can't deep strike something in and then move something else, because deep strike happens at the end of the phase. I could be wrong of course because GW could arbitrarily allow the opponent to fight back shoved in some FAQ somewhere, but RAW it wouldn't appear they can.

If lists that did this were viable, then I would have seen one of them at socal open, the monthly ITC tourneys at game empire, or at kastle konflict last weekend. Literally every daemon primarch list would have deepstriked them. The reason should be obvious. Baneblades aren't close range threats but primarchs are.

Regardless, they can't attack units that they didn't declare a charge against that phase. So the bloodletters would have to suffer more overwatch to get all those extra units which would be included in that second attack because it's still in the same phase they charged.

Yes.. the point is in order to use the stratagem to attack twice against additional units, the bloodletters would have to declare those units in their initial charge, opening them up to more overwatch.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
This also means that units that are outside of 12" cannot be attacked as they can't be declared as charge targets that turn. So essentially, if the screen is used correctly, this strategy of using bloodletters to break the screen, then attack into another unit behind it (which is beyond the 12" charge declaration range) won't work.

Depends on your definition of use the strat is. You can certainly use it to just get 6" of move toward the nearest unengaged models (but not attack said models) even if you didn't declare a charge on them. Whether that is worth 3cp and whether you can pull it off is situational, but often times it is.

I didn't say the stratagem couldn't be useful.

This also opens up a weird situation of whether they can 'fight again' if they didn't declare those additional units as targets. Can a unit pile in and consolidate with this stratagem even when they can't actually attack.. using the fight twice stratagem for additional movement..

For a screen remover, bloodletters are great. They are reasonably cheap at 7 points per bloodletter, and they still have their 5++ save. Losing a bloodletter is not as painful as losing a marine (which costs at least 13 points). Yet, they can't be ignored because in close combat, bloodletters are far deadlier than a space marine.

Think of the bloodletters as your screen. You deep strike in, clear their chaff, try and consolidate into more units. But even if you can't, your bloodletters are still screening your characters behind them, and other dangerous hitty stuff behind them, and they must be cleared because if left alone, bloodletters are a substantial threat within themselves too.

Ow maybe not. Though they had to be in CC to use it but that's probably just 7th edition thinking. It still seems like a lot of CP if they don't get to swing on the 2nd target if it was outside of 12" when the 1st charge was declared

This is probably a question for YMDC, but can they use the fight twice stratagem if the bloodletters charged, and after resolving that combat are now only within 1" an enemy unit they cannot actually fight that turn (i.e. did not declare a charge against)? If yes it would mean they can't actually fight but could pile-in and then consolidate.

I don't think they can because the bloodletter unit cannot fulfill step 3 of the fight phase 'Choose Targets' in addition to steps 4 and 5.

From the rulebook step 3 choose targets, pg182 (emphasis mine):
First, you must pick the target unit, or units, for the attacks. To target an enemy unit, the attacking model must either be within 1" of that unit, or within 1" of another model from its own unit that is itself within 1" of that enemy unit. This represents the unit fighting in two ranks. Models that charged this turn can only target enemy units that they charged in the previous phase.

at ATC one of my opponents set up his electro priests just a few inches in front of his robbits and I even asked him if he was sure he wanted to do that. My Deathwing were able to consolidate into all three units on the first turn and I knew then that I'd won.

Of course that was very early in 8th edition; most probably know this by now.

According to the full leeks, It feels like the placement of the Renegade Knights feels... Haphazard.... Like. None of the Stragems or anything really affect them. Feels like they just stuck them in their, so CSM would have to buy a seperate book for them.

Also is it suggesting that the new codex is going to have entries for the 4 forgeworld Greater Deamon Lords? That doesn't seem right.

Boy, nurgle looks really solid. I really see everything building off each piece. The GUO and the herald which buffs him both make plague bearers and beasts tougher via regenerating models and less vulnerable to morale, the herald that boost plague bearers also boost the other heralds, including a movement buff so they can all keep up with the beasts and GUO, and the snail guy is tossing out buffs for the beasts as well his little fortifications which help everyone but the GUO, who is the likely beneficiary of his healing ability.

That's a really great dynamic, everything builds off everything else. It really makes an all nurgle demon army feel like a unified army in function.

According to the full leeks, It feels like the placement of the Renegade Knights feels... Haphazard.... Like. None of the Stragems or anything really affect them. Feels like they just stuck them in their, so CSM would have to buy a seperate book for them.

Also is it suggesting that the new codex is going to have entries for the 4 forgeworld Greater Deamon Lords? That doesn't seem right.
If you mean the google doc, the guy added random units to it. I'm not sure why. Lots of those units are not in the codex.
