Ninth edition news

[Unas the slayer]

leaks for points changes that will come with the new chapter approved 2022

i have to say that i welcome the reductions for Necrons... they needed it.
Also the slight increases for high performing units as Dreadknights and Hive Guards sound sensible.

Not going to lie, you had me super excited for a moment. I was like 9th warhammer fantasy!!! Yes!!! at first when i saw the title. Of course, I just caught a quick glimpse.

I like that the immolator and exorcist for Sisters of battle have gone down. I tread head my sisters to battle, and that is nice the points went down a little on the treads.

This week i'm gonna grab my new T'au codex...
...but for the weekend i've planned a game with my Necrons! Horray for space undead!


but anyway, speaking about T'au, i'm noticing a thing on GW online shop

There is a clear difference between "temporarily out of stock online" and "No longer available online".
It seems weird to have broadside and ghostkeel Bsuits discontinued with the release of the new codex, so...?

Interesting analysis by goonhammer on the current state of the game, meta and not.

Goonhammer on the lates april "balance" dataslate.

...i wonder how can be considered a smart move, to give autowound at 6+ to the second shooting army in all 40k. Probably the first one, looking at the sheer number of rolled dices.
150 pts of conscripts will inflict on average 10 wounds to a chaos knight (saves already included). Good job GW.

Massive news and big changes incoming

Some personal considerations:

1) the reduction of starting CPs will limit some excesses, so it should be fine

2) LoW of the same faction with no additional CPs is much welcome. It was a stupid nerf to force me to pay cps to field a (let's say) monolith

3) to pay for trait and relic... that's another matter

1st version: general trait and a relic for free, subsequent ones come with a cost increasing exponentially. It worked fine enough.
2nd version: trait and relic for free, subsequent ones come with no exponential cost increase. Everyone exploit them, what a surprise
3rd version: halved the CP available, you must pay even for first trait and relic.

From one excess to its opposite.

Team GW reminds me an overexcited labrador puppy that chases a couple of bouncing balls. The mental awareness of an amoeba.
