I mainly play Necrons, and I’m quite happy with them. Especially the new Reanimation Protocols, since i had the worst luck with 9ths version
I have a DG boarding patrol, and I’m hella bummed about how they’re shaping up.
I have some Ultramarines, but don’t really know how to play them; and some Guard, and while they look need, i can’t think up a color scheme i like, so they’re collecting dust :(.
Hey Jester, funny seeing you on Lemmy. I think all of the Indexes are great, save the AdMech, which doesn’t really have much synergy or design intent, it’ll all come down to points today though.
As an admec player we’re used to being abused by GW
Even in the novels we’re relentlessly bullied T-T
I was initially mad about being forced to max out the war gear of my leman russes, especially the tank commander being priced out of feasible use. And was also miffed that Hammer of the Emperor took another nerf.
But now I see that I just needed to shift my idea of what the guard is.
Now, we’re the debuff faction. Guard have always struggled with AP, and now we can easily turn our lasgun into 9th ed hotshot lasguns. Our basilisks can just keep a unit of foot sloggers out of the fight. If they kill any, that’s just a bonus.
The manticore is now severely undercosted for the damage potential.I think we just regressed the guard from WW2 to WW1. Tanks are a rare force multiplier rather than the main stay.
It’s going to be lots of dudes in gasmasks holding down the enemy so the artillery can do the actual killing.
