As do I - I think that Night Fighting is going to have a very minor effect on the Meta.

I think you both are vastly overestimating your Acute Sense, and Night Vision. The fact is, even you roll double sixes, your range is still limited to 36'. While this may not be a Big Deal, for Say Dark Eldar, for something like longfangs it's pretty huge.

Keep in mind, you are just as likely to score worse on your reroll, as you are better. Don't get me wrong, it will help but it is by no means any insurance against Nigh Fighting.

It would be pretty good against guard, especially if deployment is in opposite corners.

There are various ways to counteract night fight as people have said, I think having crons using night fight is good, it makes those counteractive measures actually meaningful, rather than people saying "searchlight? we dont need that".

I dont really think solar pulse is broken, as also mentioned if you want 2 in your army its going to cost a decent chunk of pts to get them.

Personnaly id rather grab some crypteks with the 4 shot haywire staffs than solar pulses.

Searchlight on everyone helps.
Barrage still hits 1/3 of the time.

In fact the absolute cheapest way to do it is almost 300 points.
