Meh, the probability of periling as a GK is minimal. You need to roll double 6s AND fail a L10 test to have anything super bad happen. And unless a 1 is rolled you have to peril twice to lose your Librarian.


1, 2, or 3. If memory serves those are the ones where wounds are suffered regardless of leadership.

Yes, but only 1 gives the possibility of losing him in one go. Otherwise you have to peril a minimum of twice.

And even with tossing out VoD like candy(I like that too) the probability of periling with 6ish dice is pretty low.

Cato Sicarius, after force feeding Captain Ventris a copy of the Codex Astartes for having the audacity to play Deathwatch, chokes to death on his own D-baggery after finding Calgar assembling his new Eldar army.

Considering he went against csm? Which is considered a weaker dex.... Most books have 1 or 2 power builds, all i have read from those complaining is that they want the eldar treatment.

Play an army you like, accept each army has its strengths and its weakness, and have fun! No.matter how much you compain about the book it wont change, mainly due to it really not needing to be.

Any more complaints will just make you look like a child throwing their toys out the pram because they lost their "ward save".... See what i did there


Considering that the complaining so far has almost nothing to do with the powerlevel and everything to do with the lack of choice and the cutting of units from the dex, I think it's still you who's completely clueless about things. Nobody is asking for "the eldar treatment", whatever that is.

I do play an army I like btw... I like it so much so that I've stuck with it since it's first proper iteration called codex: Daemonhunters ever since it came out. Do a little research for yourself, see how much this codex has been altered in terms of what you can and cannot take within the same book. You'll even find out that the first codex had stormtroopers and other IG elements in there. It's already the second time GW has cut models out of it and moved them to another book. But I'm sure you knew all about that, because you saw one game where a GK player almost won, right? And I do have fun with it. I do wonder how long it's going to remain fun to field the same things over and over again because there's almost no other options within a single book.

The external balance to other codexes is just fine, the internal balance within a codex leaves much to be desired...(and that's really painful given the low amount of choices in each slot). You came here voicing your experience based on a whopping one battle where you nearly lost against GKs and every single complaint about the book is invalid because of that? Are you arrogant enough to call yourself such a god in this game that a dex is more than fine if it manages to almost beat you?

Complaining won't do anything to change the outcome, everybody knows that's standard operating procedure with GW. But just because issues within a codex won't result in any change, doesn't mean that the issues suddenly disappeared.

Well then... Thanks for your divine insight into the new GK book.

But I think that, just like with any scripture, you'll find the odd fallacy or mistake in your words upon closer inspection... :p
