40k October Update in 5 mins : Biggest Winner & Losers

[@JimH.]

GW: "We plan on making a better experience for Codex: Space Marines players." Also GW: "Codex: Space Marines players please enjoy three straight, inexplicable nerfs as we drop your faction win-rate under 40%." When you combine the above with the absolutely mental decrease on Deathshrouds, one of the games strongest units, GW once again proves they don't play their own game.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Some of the changes can't be explained, their policy is things that get played get points increases and other stuff decreases, but it doesn't actually improve balance, possibly improves sales lol

[@JimH.]

​@@SimplyWarhammer Oh I totally believe game "balance" is based on sales or lack thereof, but some of the changes defy any logic, aka Deathshrouds.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

We just ride the waves that GW cause lol

[@jamesedwards8175]

As an Orks player, I am very happy. But man, the baseball bat they took to Sisters, TSons, and Wolves makes me feel bad for them.

[@nathanstruble2177]

Wolves will be fine, wolf jail never needed to be a thing

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Haha loved the term wolf jail 🙈 .. should be OK as they are powerful but they'll slip down the pack ... pun intended lol

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Sisters and TSons needed adjustment for the balance though, I think Sisters can take it better however but I now need to change my Army of Faith list I'm using 🤦🏻‍♂️ Orks are great though 😁

[@bentatti7306]

Love your content!! been a blast just binging all your videos while painting my Salamanders :3 A couple buffs for them, big fan of the hammerstrike getting a decent points drop!

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Hayup thanks very much for watching 😊😁😍

[@GungHoSourdough]

I just got into Warhammer and am building my first army with the Battle Sisters, this wasn’t a massive hit but it was frustrating getting a nerf a couple weeks after I began building my army.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Yer that is annoying, but points change often enough that building models should be what you like the most, power and usefulness in a list changes 😊 rule of cool should win lol

[@GungHoSourdough]

@@SimplyWarhammer I agree! Just kind of sucks nonetheless. Kind of makes me wish I went with Necrons or something instead

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Ever army gets their share if the nerf bat, only some seem to ride it out consistenly. Aeldari are always in a good place and Sisters seem to always be a strong army too

[@40kalltheway6]

Thanks for this, I'm struggling to keep up with how many documents they've publish !

[@SimplyWarhammer]

It is ridiculous how many changes there are and that there's more tp come in Dec 😬 glad this is helpful 😊

[@manny1manito2]

First time i see your video's actually quite nice!

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Thanks 😊 and welcome 😁 you'll find my style is to have videos under 5 minutes and be to the point 👍

[@jameslawson8627]

Drukhari seems rather punitive to me with how difficult the army can be to pilot

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Yes agreed, it wasn't like they were winning lots either, I think they could have been left completely alone and the balance would have been fine 😬

[@Hollowtouch]

small corrections, the surge move is once per phase, instead of once per turn

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Good clarification 👍 not sure why I keep saying per turn 🙈 lol it means you could surge in overwatch as well day (rules dependent)

[@JS-mu9qd]

So Death Guard does infact keep the contagion on the objective even if the enemy controls the objective at the end or start of any turn .correct?

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Sticky can be removed by an opponent out OC'ing you on an objective but if the objective has Contagion on that lasts the turn so strats work nicely on it 👍

[@mobisev]

Cherub update? I thought it was already a given that you couldn't duplicate the cherub.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

There was a wording loophole on the immolator that split a unit... technically each subsequent unit would get a cherub. Tbh I have never played it that way or would play it that was as feels like a dodgy loophole. Only found by tournament play

[@real-lomas-chenko]

I'm not happy with the black templar changes, it's the 3rd time on the bounce they've recieved points nerfs and my tournament list is getting unusable. Really disappointed. Time to switch chapters I think

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Not sure why they keep being hit ! I can only hope things change in Dec... mine are well and truly in the cupboard 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@real-lomas-chenko]

@SimplyWarhammer quite like the ballistus and invictor drops though. Might be time for the 10 dreads again 🤣

[@SimplyWarhammer]

haha the all dread lists do actually do well 😅

[@MKLynch]

I'm really looking forward to what we're going to see in December, i think it will really shake the game up.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

I agree I think it will ! Shake up or break we'll see haha 🙈

[@MKLynch]

@@SimplyWarhammer Excuse the pun but I think GSC are going to pop up everywhere..

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Haha I wonder actually, they can be expensive to build being horde but I think a lot of people have a sleeper army. I never play mine but I'm tempted to bring it out 😁

[@dracometeors3010]

As an Guard Player, why do our to cheap stuff just keeps getting cheaper. 💀 If Guard Players could play we would be crazy.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Haha Guard is great but also hard to make sing against all opponents

[@swheen]

tau best internal balance, all 4 flavours of gundam equally playable

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Lol they are strong but not broken so that's a fun place to be. I wish the for the greater good rules didn't have a minis BS to the rule so splitting fire hurts you

[@akumaking1]

The biggest losers for every “balance” update are the whales that over invest in a specific army.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

If people love a faction and focus on it that's fine isn't it, especially how expensive the hobby is

[@syntheticjester1162]

I seriously need to know what Ad Mech did to be treated this poorly repeatedly, took almost a year to get playable rules and then GW seems to have decreed that they shal not have any build that exceeds a 46% WR.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Yer I can't really remember a time when they were doing that well that they need nerving ever ! The lost in space robots should have been slashed in points price too !! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@syntheticjester1162]

@@SimplyWarhammer As the proud owner of 18 of the robots some love would go a long way!

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Haha that's an investment lol.. I have quite a few, nothing like that though 🙈

[@thecasualwargamer5195]

I swear the only reason space marines are so bad is because GW view them as the introductory army. Spend all that money, realise they are terrible and buy another army. Loads a money! :(

[@SimplyWarhammer]

That's an interesting viewpoint that they never really see them as viable just the gateway drug 🙈 lol Last time to got to this state they introduce armour of contempt and oath of moment so something good could be coming ! I'm worried though they'll ruin sisters miracle dice 😬

[@thecasualwargamer5195]

@SimplyWarhammer that's pretty much I suspect GW see them and why they are always terrible. Sororitas will be an interesting one. Hopefully not too bad of a change.

[@SimplyWarhammer]

It feels pretty soon forbmore updates, I'll get maybe 3 tournaments in before things change again... I need to rethink taking Army of Faith Sisters to my next one 🤔

[@misterycryptowhoknows8017]

BLACK TEMPLARS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOW THERE THEY😢

[@SimplyWarhammer]

I don't know what they have against BT ans Deathwatch too for that matter 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jjmurph876]

Think knights should drop back to beginning of 10th valiant 480 it's yes please also give us overwatch back

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Yer they need overwatch, even if its only when they are the target of a charge!

[@redgreen09]

yes at that posting did think this yes STOP chageing darn ruel ALL THE DARN time when get my new ruels got tack time out and read em cafaly thats ALL

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Technically we can use any rules we want and like it's only tournaments that force it... but most people just play the latest rules and not play legends which is a shame

[@redgreen09]

yes i will say it this shud BE THE LAST EDD YASH chane DA ruels all the TIME what pain in bleep (yes this a kid show ) yes you get FREE ON YOUR PHONE but do have one nore will I get one i got ONE it hages on my wall and mis you i got thing that record my mist stuff rant over will see what hapens me i say some shud do my haf off points rule you got blank fore 20 points not you got fore 10 and got two you get point you do lot time in minis and the poits BS you cant play with the minias you got olny in a apltc game rant two over nest vid

[@SimplyWarhammer]

Even though we can play 40k how we like the tournament angel and points changes affect everyone, even those friendly games. It is a shame you can't just use your models you like
