Orks need a full reboot, codex, supplements, formations, models.
This can wait until after CSM, IG, AS and Nids.
Or just sqaut the orks now so we can be done with GW.
You know they'll put a positive spin on it and say you can charge 24" first turn potentially.
Which is nullified by deploying out of range and in general just shooting the first rank of boyz.
I'm still angry even after sleeping on it.
Technically 30 max, if they start in trukks. Reliably (assuming trukks have planks) it's about 25 or so...unless you do the sideways-deployed pivoting dick move...in which case it's about 27" reliably, 32" max or so.
Interesting. So once a month they all get +1 attack and the Rage special rule?
Once per month, women act like men act all the time...

I can't be bothered to read through what everyone has said but here is what Eldar need:
Less hate.
More expensive Wraithknight
An open-topped transport
Less hate
Webway Portals. There is no reason for Dark Eldar (and possibly Corsairs) to have this technology and not Eldar. Who use the Webway Portal to appear out of nowhere and kill their enemies.
Less hate.
Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.
Orks always ride in single file to hide their strength and numbers.
Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar, Gozer the Traveler, and Lord of the Sebouillia
Turn one death wing
Asmodai buff
Eternal warrior and AP2 on azreal.
Armor bane on nephilim
That is all really. Although I do miss the dakka banner and fnp banner. Gw even launched the decals before removing them... Still I made peace with not being able to fire 100 twin linked bolter shots anymore

BA should really have this too. Good luck with the hate on that.
No hate, is perfectly reasonable for those two factions to have it
You haven't heard the Tau players' opinions on this clearly. It's okay for them to shoot BA like ducks in a barrel, though. It really pisses me off, because I was the first one in my play group to admit 3rd ed Rhino rush was insane and stop using it. But Tau players in 7th? Nothing wrong here, move along. Send all your hate to the Eldar... (who also deserve mass hate)

Necrons need a way to reliably deal with GCs/SHVs. We're one of the stronger codices until a Wraithknight hits the table and then it's like "welp alright just pack up and go home I guess".

I haven't had an issue with them. Between Wraiths, Scarabs, and Destroyers, plus some pot shots from infantry, I've always been able to kill them within 2-3 turns max.

In that situation, BA also have to survive interceptor AND overwatch, what the heck do they have to complain about *eyeroll*
I would love the close combat phase to be more viable (and by extension all factions that rely on it) it just leads to a more interesting game, and by the by I really would prefer all factions to have a codex comparable with Eldar, I can’t tell you how liberating it is to pick almost anything in the codex and have it perform well on the table… All factions should have the freedom, just imagine Assault marines, Sanguinary guard, dreadnoughts, flash gits etc. be as commonplace as scatterbikes, grav spam and riptides… I suppose can dream…
Kind Regards,
An Eldar player who just wants balance and a little less hate…

The main problem with assault from reserves/deep strike was the fact that the person about to receive it had no options. But now we can fire overwatch, so from a gaming perspective, there is something you can do about it. Even if it’s just roll some dice to feel good before the blender starts in on you. You actually get to interact with the assault unit before you remove your casualties.
I’d be fine with it coming back for elite assault troops.

I really liked the dakka banner too, but I wound up running some weird army comps - standard Command Squad in a LRC surrounded by Ravenwing Bike Squadrons with a Librarian on a bike with a PFG riding right behind the LRC. I'm sorry the dakka banner is gone, but we DA players got enough back in return to make up for it.
What I think the Dark Angels could use:
Stormraven
Thunderfire cannon
Eternal Warrior on Azrael - absolutely
I'd also like to see Sammael get a 2+ save. He really needs it.
I don't think the Nephilim needs Armor Bane, but I would like it if we could swap out the near-useless twin linked heavy bolter for something that would actually be useful. The Stormraven gets to swap a TLHB for a twin-linked multimelta as a points-neutral exchange. If the Nephilim could do the same, I'd be a happy man.
Martel732 wrote: The "blender" that often loses CC to Riptides? Not much of a blender.
One of the perks of the surprise assault out of deepstrike is being able to pick your target. I know riptides are tough, but they are not invulnerable. I’m sure you could put something together to take one down. Especially if you only needed to eat one round of overwatch before getting to CC, rather then getting shot up on the way over.

Oh, I know that. The Dakka banner was a cool banner. My gripe was more along the lines of releasing the decals and then removing the banner...that was a bad move IMO. I like the idea of Sam w/ a better save and I can see your point with the heavy bolter. I don't think we need a thunder fire cannon though as we've got enough things to deal with massed infantry.

For my Space Marines: a buyer who wants them so I can buy more Sisters of Battle.
For my Sisters of Battle: see my trade list in the swap shop, also plastic models, and a Land Raider in a physical codex, preferably a Redeemer as it makes perfect sense.
IG: being called Imperial Guard again. Bikes with twl lasguns and attack bikes. Sentinel HQ squads, K-9 units, Leman Russes getting Lumbering Behemoth back.
Chaos: Free soul blaze to all Chaos vehicle weapons, blend Oblits and Mutilators together so when shooting you pick what guns you want. And in cc pick what choppy smashy thing you want, and feel free to mix an match. More Heldrake weapon options, CHEAPER Daemon Princes points wise. Dreadaxe returned, Blend daemons and Chaos back together. Nerf Nurgle! Buff Tzeentch and Slaanesh! Chaos Razorbacks, Land Speeders, Stormbirds of all flavors, Land Raider variants, etc. Grav guns.
Also personally some Diaz daemonettes, and a Maulerfiend.
In general: Consolidate and simplify the special rules, make ordance scatter less often, buff sniping, get rid of or nerf overwatch, make only fleet creatures able to run, no random charges, pick warlord traits, and pick psychic powers instead of rolling. On rolls to go first make it warlord's initiative plus d6.
Model wise: more female models. Outside of Sisters it's a sausage fest.
