Make ravener's deathspitters cost 5 ppm and devourers/spinefists 3ppm, that should be more than enough.

Naked Raveners are fine at 30ppm, specially as they have gak LD and thus need some expensive synapse babysitter.

Raveners compare very similarly to penitent engines (worse melee, better mobility, native deepstrike, similar durability, isn't locked out of army rules, isn't locked out of actions) but are 25pts cheaper. The leadership issue is significant, but not 25pts significant. There's no way a 5pt increase would be enough to stop seeing 18 of them in every Nid list. They'd have to go up to at least 40.

Duuude.

Penitents have an extra wound, 5+++, full rerolls to hit in melee, advance and charge, a 5" pile-in, and 5 S8 D2 rather than 5 S6 D1.

Way better shooting then a pengine? They still come with paired heavy flamers? I’d take that over the gun options on the raveners. And pay for it.

Yea I think you guys are going a little far in your comparisons. Ogryns are useless next to Bullgryn, but Skorpekhs, Paragons, and Spawn all fit in the band.

Paragons are now 70 - not 80. They have a 2+, AOC, -1D, a HB, two SBs, and a MC powersword.
Skorpekhs have one less wound, 3+, D2, resurrect, heal, and RR1s.

Maybe make the Ravener guns cost a few points and call it a day.


Paragons are 80. If you run them without the Multimelta, you already can't be helped.

And yes, Paragons are stretching that comparison a bit, but a Paragon costs almost as much as THREE raveners and does less damage in melee, can only match their shooting output against multi-wound models, and would be hard pressed to survive anything that could kill three T5, 4W models.

Raveners are extremely pushed for their statlines (though not quite as much as warriors imho) and some other similar units are extremely bad for theirs.

Fortunately, Raveners are so cheap that they can go up and other units can come down and they'd all probably end up at roughly the same place on the powercurve.

1. Raveners can shoot 24" with their deathspitters, so while their gun isn't necessarily as good, it's going to get to fire far more frequently. 2. Penitent engines have run and charge but not run and shoot. In a lot of games, penitent engines don't end up shooting at all.

That said, yeah, it's hyperbole when comparing against the heavy flamer.

They also don't get access to ANY of the army's special rules, can't do actions, are vehicles, can't advance and shoot, don't get -1 to hit in melee, AND don't get deepstrike.

Also, one of these units is SPAMMED in the absolute best army in the game, the OTHER gets left at home in an upper-mid tier army.

Clearly there's a disparity there and clearly it's in Ravener's favor.

Except even now we are not seeing 18 of them in every list (at least not in the lists that are winning tournaments).

They are rarely present in Leviathan lists (which prefer Warriors as the benefit from Leviathan while Raveners do not). Now they are a very strong unit in Kraken lists, but even then I don't think we are seeing 18 of them in every Kraken list.

For Bullgryns to really be "worth their points" you have to pair them with a Priest, and keep that priest alive. Also, who has difficulty blasting 3-5 Gravis equivalents off the board these days? T5, 3W, with a 2+? Yeah, Say hello to my Melta guns and Heavy Bolters.

And then people just shoot the rest of the Guard army that is actually capable of doing damage.

Unless 9-12 autocannon shots with a range of 0" is scary.

Yeah, not gonna lie, Bullgryns need a lot of support to be really valuable, and by then it's not worth the cost. Less points just throw a Russ on the field, or a Chimera, or a Taurox. At least those can possibly kill something before being destroyed.

Nope, Bullgryns and Ogryns both suck in the current version. If you made their Gauntlets Assault 4 16" S5 AP1 D2 Blast, then they'd be kinda worth it, but until then they are an over costed bully unit that is too easy to take off the field.

The game isn't as much about killing as it is about control. It can be a lot harder to remove Bullgryns and slightly dangerous to do so depending on their support. You could put all leman russes and manticores on the table, but that won't mean you'll have an easier time winning.

killing is a form of control. if someone has to allocate double the points to an objectives, because of how efficient at killing your army list is, then it works just great. 9 voids, pre nerf double venom tyrants etc were not exactly run just for their ability to perform actions and score objectives.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

Killing doesn't mean much if you don't control the objective afterwards or if you spent way more resources to do it than would take to degrade your opponent's return fire.

Voidweavers killed everything and got on the objective. Flyrants killed stuff and were un-interactable.

I have to agree. My Custodes Dreads are hot stuff, but when a squad of boys can lay claim to the objective my Telemon is standing on, it becomes worthless. With the objective game, you have to have Obsec, and ability to kill anything else that has it nearby. Bullgryns do not have it (?? correct?) so it's kinda true. They are worthless in the objective game, and in the killing game. An oddly interesting fix would be to make Ogryns a Troop choice. Bang, Ogryns are viable again. And dare I say it, the best choice of the lot. 225 for a Squad of 9. Or 75 for a squad of 3.

The main characteristic of all good armies in 9th. Was that they were undercosted comparing to all other armies that came out before them. DE were unable to not control objectives, while being super efficient at killing opposing armies, because almost all of their units were undercosted. Same was true for ad mecha, then orks at least till they got hit with nerfs, Custodes, tau, eldar and now nids are exactly the same. Voidweavers were killing other stuff and the eldar player could claim objectives, because they cost 90pts. The tyranid player can kill stuff, and grab objectives, because everything he runs in his army is undercosted The it only kills argument matters only for bad armies or bad lists, but I don't think we are talking here what happens when someone plays with those lists, because then we run in to a loop of everything in w40k being balanced, because there is potentialy always the chance that the opponent maybe , for what ever reason, bring a bad list.

Or to make it really simple. If an eldar army kills all objective takers in a GK army or all NDKs in a single turn, specialy if it is turn 1 or 2, then the game is more or less done by then, because the GK player will not be able to both kill enough eldar stuff to stop them from scoring and do their own primaries and secondaries.

If you have to kill, then kill in the best manner. If you slaughter, then slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife so his animal feels no pain.

I do not need obsec. Here in 9th most of the lists I've run don't have it on the units I play. I simply kill anything that'd contest an objective I'm aiming to hold. It's worked fairly well for me.

And your ogyn idea? Bad. Ogryns & other abhumans are auxillary forces. That's specifically why they aren't troops. Of course GW could just give ogyns obsec to represent them being hard to shift off a position....

It is less an issue of taking objectives, and more of holding your own objectives, as there are a few tactics that are basically throwing cheap bodies at the enemy to deny scoring.

Custodes losing universal obsec was one of the factors that took them out of the broken tier.

Like a lot of stuff in 40k - and perhaps any game - its about things stacking. You can't make a bad unit good by giving it obsec. But a good unit is a good unit - and giving a good unit obsec for free is a better unit than one without it.

Anyway in terms of the weekend, Tyranids and Harlequins continue to dominate, but the Tyranid win% is down to 61%. (65% for the clowns). CWE up to 56%, while being the most played faction (Tyranids just after) perhaps suggesting there's a growing standardisation/learning.

Sisters rather inexplicably up to a 57% win rate, winning 2 tournaments and getting some further placings. IG, Ad Mech and DG clearly need help.

It's not a strategy, just how GW made the stuff I like. I can't do anything about that. And I refuse to not use the stuff I like. I build the forces I like, the way I like (within the rules) & worry about how to deal with any particular mission when we roll it up.
Besides, in the mission you're referring to? All I have to do is roll a 4+

*3 games with SW
*2 games with SoB
*1 game with technically Tyranids very early in 9th - it was a small concept narrative force that looks & plays nothing like any Nid force you'd imagine. It's not even really able to win a game. But it was fun & furthered the narritive of that campaign....
*???# of games with Necrons of every variety - their my main default 9e force & I've lost track of how many times they've seen the table. 2020/2021 when things were all locked down because of the pandemic sometimes they were on the table up to 4 nights/week.... + 4 Crusades & ??? pick-up games once the shops re-opened. It's just that after 20+ years of playing Necrons & being forced by the FoC to always include warriors I've shifted to very Fast/Heavy/Elites focused lists here in 9th. Because I can. Works well for me.
*13 games with my Drukari Pain engines (all Talos/Cronos + 1 HQ elf in a Venom - no obsec in there. Hell, nearly no actual elves either!).
*16 games so far with my Mechanized Grots (grot tanks, Kans, Gunz....)
*1 game last week using the new Imperial Knights Codex.

The skew to 50/50 is caused by mirror matches.

Considering even Craftworlds and Tyranids only make slightly above 10% of the players each, it is like not that significant (although still present) while irrelevant with Harlequins and Sisters.

Also only 2 factions are above 60% and 2 more above 55%. (Ynnari and Aeldari soup do not count as factions).

Arguably we are at the point balance would benefit more from buffs to low end factions than nerfs to top tier ones (Tyranids and Harlequins still need a few more nerds).

A 4+ action that generally ties up a unit for the turn doesn't seem like a great gamble.

I can't for the life of me envision getting easily pushed off objectives unless you were putting a lot more points into doing so, but that's a whole trade up problem that will really depend on who you're facing.

Sometimes I'll have tzaangors or cultists. You push them off? Sure. I don't really care. It wasn't something I was invested in holding, but expecting to push scarabs off while also not having obsec? I don't think that's going to be an easy thing for most armies.

There's issues of faction versus faction winrates - but if a 55% was universal, and a 45% was universal, I'm not sure its that apocalyptic. We play 20 games, you'd expect to win 11, I'd expect to win 9. I'm not sure you'd be able to call any specific game on that basis. You'd have an advantage - but not an overwhelming one.

Even a 60/40 wouldn't be that bad (we play 10 games, you win 6 etc) - the problem is that it isn't universal, and so that "60% win rate faction" inevitably moves up to something like an 80%+ win rate versus the non-good factions. And this often gets further skewed to 90%+ by things like who goes first, what mission you get etc.

For something like MTG I think that's tolerable (just play again with different decks) - but not 40k where it can still take 2-3 hours to play through to the inevitable result.

But with that said, I think the balance is better than it was at the start of 2022.

The skew is caused by nonrandom matchmaking after the first round--stronger armies are progressively more likely to be matched against other strong armies and weaker ones against other weak ones. Actual win rates would have to draw from round 1 matches only.

FLG is implementing a sort of ELO at some point, but I don't recall exactly when. I don't know how they'll implement everything though.
