Subject: The Damn Has Broken... Points Changes Are Public!
Honestly i've had much more fun playing since i stopped minmaxing all my lists and started bringing the models i like, garagehammer is a win in my books.
Nice and balanced. Finaly the weaker units have proper cost, while stuff that was good was not made unplayable by a gigantic points hike. First FAQ/errata GW puts out that I actualy like, not couting the PA book.

Everyone should know by now that they could have 1 point guard with space marine stats and he'd argue that they'd be balanced because of reasons... Or more likely that they still are too weak.
Meh. Everyone should know by now that balancing Guard isn't going to be done by points, it will be done by actually making the book have choices.

Honestly i've had much more fun playing since i stopped minmaxing all my lists and started bringing the models i like, garagehammer is a win in my books.
Still, for many people that are more competitive and not in the US, having competitive be a mess will be annoying since smaller tournaments might start firing for them.
I so, soon badly want to snark off about the US being garage-hammer-only until November 2024, but there's no way I start that and don't wind up running afoul of the ban on politics.
I have to admit Garage Hammer has it's advantages. I've never indulged in it before this.

Well I like it. Hikes were suppose to happen to everyone, and of course GW is bad at doing points, because they fix them around some idea of armies being playtested by them with certain rules in the future, but between that future and what we get we play with different rules, plus on top of everything GW may have changed the design focus in those 6 months, so armies may end up totaly out of wack with their point costs vs the game rules they have to be played with.
But for me personaly, this is all good. I never run psycanons on termintors or strikes, only on paladins. I use termintors and they actualy went down in point costs. I never had units armed with, 4pts per model now, falchions, only with swords and halabards and those are now both free. Strikes aren't over costed, paladins werent' made unplayable with some crazy hike. We don't have jump packs, so no fly tax happened. And interceptors with their pseudo flight are still good.
the smite change, if it is real, is not fun. But I had worse times in 8th, plus I think we can still pull of 2-3 smites easily, maybe other damage spells are going to get used now. before taking them with smite, even a baby one, was foolish. And gate is a great spell now. So all in all the changes seem great, comparing to what they could have been.

We now got grots at the place of guardsmen.
Scout priced CStacs.
Elysians and R&H yeeted.
Not sure , and i really liked the idea of a general hike.
Or some of the new rules, like the reserves, to a degree.

Don't agree, It needed to happen, as too much was smooshed into the low end.
Unfortunately introducing a floor of 5 points sets up some obvious problems for people to yell about.
And there needed to be more individual judgement and less formulas.
And GW is still hung up on the elf statline for some bizarre reason. The only time they ever got it even close to right was when the errata'd the entire Dark Elf armybook away from the Always-Strike-First High Elf point values.
But the lethality of 8th/9th edition 40k just doesn't care about elf stats. In terms of dying, they're exactly the same as guard, admech or sister's stats, depending on the armor save.

Yes, but that marked bit is expensive, because they'd need someone to actually do it, or their team, can't have that.

But not all point costs went up. Custodes didn't get substential point hikes, neither did the GK. So GW clearly noticed that those armies did not need them. And what ever people stay with 8th 1800pts lists , or move on to playing 9th with 2200pts to get their full 2000pts 8th ed ones is to be seen. Tournaments more or less will decide. If they go with 9th 2000pts /8th 1800, people will play that. In 8th ed it ended like that. What ever local tournament pack was used by people, it turned in to the core way to be played , be it ITC, ETC or those crazy rules from UK or scandinavia. I don't think many people, aside for big tournament orgs can say what is going to be the point cost range in 9th.

God, I can't believe I ever used to respect your opinion as someone to listen to on this hellsite.
I have no personal part in your quarrel with Daedalus81, but I had to chime in after reading this last bit;
I have been away from dakkadakka for quite some time (partly because low interest in 40k during the last year, but also because I got tired of the general mentality of a lot of forum members here. I blame Warseer shutting down on that last part. Seems most of the whiners found their way here.) so I have no distinct knowledge or remembrance of most of the users here, but you have in the short time I've been back established yourself as "that guy who feels compelled to whine about how bad his gretchin has become, over and over", and now I see you type this.
Have you ever considered that this forum is a "hellsite" due to the rampart negativity and pessimism spread by its own members; negativity and pessimism that you yourself help to spread right now in this very thread?
Anyway, this topic is essentially a circlejerk in complaints about 9th, an edition which I actually already like and consider a step-up from 8th in almost every way.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 4 test-games I had this weekend, but just reading this topic caused me to doubt myself whether I like 9th or not...
So I'm basically gonna scoot before I get dragged down in the cesspool of negativity where (sadly, genuinely so) so many forum members who have decided that they hate 9th before it's even officially released already are.
I have definitely seen Scotsman saying positive things about 9th, it's not all whining, all the time. He, like others, has identified 9th as being the MSU/anti-horde edition, and that's not really that controversial of a thing to say.
The frustration that you're seeing today is a result of these new points/FAQs that seem wildly out of whack with the actual state of the game. Unless in your 9th practicing, you used the new points (which I'm sure you didn't unless you're a reviewer/playtester), your point is moot. The points craziness is really where the wheels are falling off here. I was pretty optimistic about 9th too until I woke up to this crazy state of things. I don't blame anybody getting angry about it today.
MSU? Anti-Horde? Neither of those things are true. As far as I can tell. Where is the thread for this?
Ah, I can see by your oblivious nature to this statement that you have not been visiting the 9th edition thread in news and rumours. You are a wise man.
What? You mean it's not a well reasoned, rational, civil discussion on dakka? First time for everything I guess.
Are you two REALLY claiming the rules are friendly for hordes?
Are you really going to argue that the new morale rules aren't wildly beneficial for hordes?
Horde players agree going to go from losing a third of thier army to morale to losing maybe 15-20%.
Meanwhile, Elite armies are going to lose way more to morale if they bring large squads, and even if they bring MSU they wont have the firepower needed to shoot horde armies off the board.

It depends on the unit. Boyz with a warboss or another large unit nearby bypassed the moral issue anyway, while gretchins got a significant benefit from the new morale rule.... except they are now 5ppm and combined with a plethora of new rules that badly affect large squads (blasts, coherency, cover...) it means that they were way better before.
2020/07/13 20:23:24
Subject: The Damn Has Broken... Points Changes Are Public!
The coherency / engagement range rules hurt big units more than anything, both for existing on the board and for trying to fight in combat. Most horde stuff was immune to morale already, but it's a big buff for, say, daemons - though not enough to outweigh the coherency and engagement nerfs.

MSU's won't protect characters for long either. And I don't buy the argument of putting a vehicle or MC next to the character, as that will be targeted very quickly for deletion.
Also in some armies (space marines for example) you absolutely won't get the benefit of the character if they are only near 1 vehicle, there's hardly any point taking them if you aren't going to try and boost as much of your firepower as possible, which means next to your troops. And then if those are MSU's, kill 3 models in each unit and the character can be targeted.
The only way this will work is if you go vehicle heavy, but they can't do your secondaries, and LOS is limited in the new edition if you do terrain correctly.
MSU's aren't the way forward imo.

A 10 man grot unit is a good middle ground.
No one is shooting BCs at them or if they do... you're winning. A TFC gets no extra shots and kills half a unit. Previously that mean 10 grits dead. Now it means 1 dead and maybe some more.

For 50 points you could take a deffkopta though, which is more durable, faster, fly and is better in CC and shooting. At 80 you could have 10 boyz. I suspect this is the age of extinction for the little fellas

Not a great time to buy into Imperial Fists. Guess who just picked up six Centurion Devastators.
On the other hand, I did get most of my new models through Dark Imperium/Know No Fear, and Death Guard is looking pretty fun. I had been building them up a bit to make two even armies. I’ve only picked up extra Plague Marines, Blightlords, and Blight Haulers for that. It’s looking like those were good purchases. I think I’m building DG as my primary force now.

You say that like it's trivial to remove 3 IH agressors or the new melta boys as they can go to 5 man units and still be blast immune, but you need to kill 3 to stop them screening charictors.
Funnily enough it looks like marines with bikes, gravis etc in 3-5 man units will do just fine in 9th.
