Why do Marines who already have T4 and power armour, as well as a fight twice strat to wrap models get no-overwatch utility stuffed down their throat while Ynnari as the supposed cc-Eldar variant with T3, 5+ models get's none of that? Not to mention doctrines, etc.. on Marine armies that already throw vastly more dice around.

If all Ynnari got in PA1 were just one of the things from just the BT preview, I'd be ecstatic.


You'd be extatic for a Stratagem that only works when charging out of a (hilariously overcosted) vehicle? You do you I guess, but it really isn't a good Stratagem at all.

I think the reason he'd be happy to get the stratagem previewed is because it would at least be something. Ynnari players got only a reprint of their WD rules in PA1. Imagine that. Imagine if BT got nothing new in this PA volume, only a reprint of previously released rules. I doubt you'd be happy.

You can almost guarantee that if there's a stratagem so specific it buffs a unit disembarking from a LRC, there will a)be a way to disembark after moving in the LRC and/or b)the LRC will be buffed/get a points drop to make it much more appealing.

This just proves how little GW understands close combat

The doctrine does look nice for large crusader squads, auto-wounding vehicles with a ton of chainsword attacks isn't that bad. I learned to hate the primaris bolters which do the same.


7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.

Or c) Games Workshop doesn't understand how melee works in 8th edition and there will be no changes because the Stratagem works, it's just weak.

I'd happily trade the constant stream of releases that don't do a whole lot for my Templars (jury still out for the PA book) for rules that lets me play my army as something that isn't just "why am I not playing Ultramarines?". Rules for the sake of rules is meaningless, they're a means to an end, not an end in themselves.

An extra attack for a charging unit is good, so at least the litanies are off to an OK start.

The strat left me feeling a bit underwhelmed, but I will reserve judgement until we see the full release.

If people could stop complaining about PA, and using that to shame BT players from having early opinions on what has been revealed so far that would be nice. There are other threads available to complain about PA. Take it there.

Fair, perhaps waiting for the rest of the rules would be apt, before complaining about them though?

Works on battlesuits though. No clue if SP can be used against the auto-wound attacks since the FAQ is specific to mortal wounds, but probably not.

eh I don't see a whole lot of super hard core complaining. they've noted the strat previewed is pretty terriable, people have noted it indicates GW's continued failure to understand melee, which is proably true. but compared to some of the complaining on the fourms it's not that bad. I mean, compared to some of the complaining lately this is pretty accepting.

Opinions are not facts please don't confuse the two

I actually started building my LR last night to get it ready so I can use it - don't have any actually ready to put on the table right now - so I'll at least try it once or twice. Might need more than one LR to really be effective I would guess.

Saviour Protocols can't be used against those auto wounds since there's no wound roll.

And suddenly EC can turn Chosen, Noise Marines, you name it, into really reliable Vet. Intecessor equivalents.

Obviously not on par with WE CC units, but this is a pretty amazing benefit. Not sure I would ever not immediately use that strat lol.

Not as enthused by the NL relic, seems situational to me. Kind of like the faction

Does this happen a ton? My circle's pretty limited, so I don't see it very often (most of our combats are resolved first turn). Not really able to judge how helpful it is.

I like it, 1 CP for 50% improved odds of their land raider or knight exploding seems like a fair trade, especially in a clutch situation.

it helps out raptors a bunch because they are unlikely to wipe something and want to remain in melee to not get fallbacked and then shot to smitherins.

Yes i know that, it's great and all, but now we get Cultists bombs back, FOR 1 subfaction that is arguably allready head and shoulder above most.
Further i want to understand the design philosophy, SHOULD i now Pick Cultists or NOT? GW.
Make up your damn mind.
Further, i hate the fact that the best AT chaos has is supposedly more or less a bunch of Autogun totting cannonfodder units.

Also, IF gw wants to incentivice people picking actually CSM, then why implement this?

well it does in itself exploding wounds. on average 3 mortals per round. Probably more when you use it on an exalted champion.

Some nice stuff here. It'll be great if CSM get a proper update.

That Iron Warriors warlord trait is a first for Chaos. No other source of re-roll 1's to wound against everything for them, which is annoying as it ruins their shooting potential.

It's a shame that Apostle of the Dark Council and Combat Elixirs are once per battle. They could have been multiple uses just fine. Combat Elixirs should have only been 1CP as well. I suppose its best used on 20 possessed or something. But its still an expensive melee buff, and melee units aren't exactly great.


Always 1 on the crazed roll.
