As the Aeldari representative, we wish you peace with regards to your previous interactions with our people. Our methods may seem strange. If we didn't regularly generate hate then GW would forget us forever. Then the game would finally devolve into empire vs chaos.

[@Sercotani]

@JacoDeltaco I think 6th or 7th edition ally chart was alarmingly close to allowing it to be empire vs chaos.

Until then we're testing ground for new mechanics players will either hate to have or hate to play against and then become normal in the next edition.

[@cbilici]

As an Eldar player I want the Poorhammer crew to know they're loved ❤.

[@tylerchadwell1267]

For anyone wondering, the custodes changes (compared to the January dataslate) are as follows: Trajann went down 10, to 150 Aleya went down 5, to 75 Valerian went down 5, to 110 the Blade Champion went down 10, to 110 the venerable contemptor dreadnought went down 15, to 170 And yes, the dread can still get back up after dying the first time.

[@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK]

I thought I was remembering right on it showing everything green but most of them didn't change from the last points, just from the codex no-one trusted the points of. But they've also taken a bunch of nerfs.

@@TOOTHBRUSHDUCK Yeah they're showing from the Codex to the new dataslate, Orks also had this where a lot of stuff didn't go down in points compared to the previous dataslate but the Codex had pre-January points costs in it (Kans costing 290 for 6 instead of 250 for example).

[@timunderbakke8756]

Hot take (haven’t listened yet) - I’m in love with what they did to Thousand Sons. I feel like I can play something other than “Magnus plus Rubric and character spam” now. I just had an awesome game today using new points where I had a vortex beast, a lascannon/missile helbrute, and a daemon prince on foot. They formed a wrecking ball that went up the opposite side of the board as Magnus and seriously did as much work as he did. Maybe even more work. Used doombolt every turn from the Prince (who got to hit at 36 inches with the beast, and got a cabal point refund from the Helbrute), and then the Prince gave the beast and Helbrute -1 to hit while they shot anti-tank shots down range ripping apart the Sisters armor.

[@Torguemada]

Admech dont need to go down to 2 dollars per point of army you get, they need a complete rules redo.

[@luketfer]

The big thing with the Dreadmob was that got hit without any points costing stuff. The Grot Tanks going to Legends did a number on Dreadmob because they were, by far, the best Rokkit Spam unit you could take with 9 Rokkit Launchas and D3 shots, strength 9, damage 3, -2 AP and a free 'scoot away if enemy is getting close' and then giving them all either Lethal Hits, Sustained hits or -2 AP on Crit wounds PLUS having blast meant they could absolutely chew through things, especially when combined with Bigger Shells for Bigger Gits strat, meaning they were wounding almost everything on 4s and +1 damage if you were willing to go hazardous. Switching to Killa Kans means you only get 6 Rokkit launchas and their new special ability is kind of ass (33% chance to just cause D6 wounds on the unit in exchange for +1 strength (not that useful apart from wounding toughness 5 or 2s instead of 3s but really not worth the risk) or +1 attacks (useful and makes them stronger than Grot tanks but, again, 33% chance to roll that option). Also the fact that Deff Dreads are still not able to squad up, meaning you can have, at most, 3 per list is a bit of meh thing (should have been 1-3 options, want mah 9 Deff Dreads). So yeah, overall before the Legends nerf Dread Mob was looking as both a good 'For Fun' detachment AND highly competitive, probably competing with Bully Boys as the top 'competitive pick' at the moment but after the legends nerf it slid down to just under Bully Boys but above Green Tide and Kult of Speed. Now this is all white room mathshammer stuff, how they work on the tabletop and especially piloted by people who are highly skilled, things may work out differently. Also I will point out that a good 90% of Grot tanks were not the Forgeworld models but Kitbashed from cheap toy tanks, almost NOBODY bought the Forgeworld models because they were £85 for 4, when you could get £10 for 4 using a specific toy tank box (if you've seen kitbashed grot tanks, you know the one).

[@edmundthespiffing2920]

It's good to see Burellio's work being paid in exposure

[@Willsr14]

The issue with Guard is twofold. We have a detachment ability not worth the paper it's written on, and we have maybe a dozen incredible players skewing our statistics, despite the majority of IG players having a 46% or less win rate at COMPETITIVE tables. Forget that IG have a huge casual fanbase who's games are not and never will be reflective of what's competitive. Now GW added a third problem. The points increases were made because of the previously mentioned dozen players. The tens of thousands of guard players struggling at casual tables - because the core, thematic units of the IG are bad - now have to suffer even more because of a change caused by less people than I have fingers and toes. This should NOT be how 'balancing' is done with the IG. TL;DR - The IG nerf was made to stop an extremely small number of IG pros competing at top tables, and GW made the tens of thousands of other IG players pay for it, despite them struggling.

[@megladon5645]

Seeing battle reports about the custodes detachments almost wipe the opponent army but lose by 5 points tells me everything I need to know about what custodes players are used to.

[@MGPW]

Please keep in mind that Legends is legal in everything *except* official tournament stuff, and official tournament play is the vocal minority of players, with most games being friendly "Local" stuff, and with official tournament style play being the worst part of the game. The fun Ork stuff is still there (unlike Sister Celestians, which don't have a Legends profile, they were just deleted entirely but the box still says they can be made as Celestians and the new updated webstore still says they can be made as Celestians), you just can't take it 200 miles away to a place where everyone smells like sweat and gas station hotdogs.

Tried out Horde mode on a map that was a bit too small. Eldar, Space Marines, and Necrons against Tyranids. We won, and it was challenging, but not too challenging. Nobody took an L, but all of my buddy's Terminators died, Reanimation protocols came in clutch several times, and Maugan Ra and his Dark Reapers absolutely swept Gene Stealers, Leapers, and countless other bugs off the board. Reinforcement rolls landed us some pretty big gains. Nobody rolled less than a 7 for reinforcements, and the Space marines rolled a 12, and didn't have anything to reinforce with, so we let him bring in his knight. It was SO cool.

So I primarily run CSm, ever since i got the Ravaged Star army kickstarter pledge, it's all I've played and I've consistently run a helbrute, a vindicator and some havocs. I do not like the idea of three vindicators hahaha, that type of spam makes me sick to my stomach. The helbrute aura wouldn't give you both stages of 5's to hit granting both, it depends on what mark the unit has of which is in the aura's effect, for instance, Helbrute with mark of tzeentch would get his 5's to lethal to shoot but 6's for sustained (as nurgle gives sustained on hit in shooting). (Abaddon is the exception as is considered as having all marks and undivided.) I've pulled the helbrute next to a single vindicator with a mark of nurgle so it's demolisher cannon ends up churning out a boatload of sustained hits on 5's and some lethals on 6's, it ends up being quite an efficient little bomb. Ive typically run 2 squads of cultists as 10 mans as mark of nurgle, for purely ranged really. The idea of a melee tarpit big blob with dark commune sounds real annoying to deal with. The character in legends being the 'rogue psyker' i played once before the 'dark obscuration' nerf was hysterical. One of the most unshakeable untouchable ranged units i've ever played with. I love me my havocs, Ive typically run them all with lascannons with either MoN or undivided to aid in their initial hitting, but am gonna give the MoT with autocannons havocs a spin, them posted on a building to get the benfits of plunging fire, makes these guys seem reaaaal juicy. Maulerfiend dropping heaps is real exciting, i've also almost always had a forgefiend in a list standing next to a helbrute so it absolutely goes wild when it shoots, but the maulerfiend mark of slaanesh paired with unnatural swiftness for this point cost makes this thing a real cool threat. You're right on the money when it comes to the flying daemon prince of khorne, it's about the only one that makes the most benefit using the talisman of burning blood. The Slaanesh one with the FnP enhancement is nice but the khorne one is the most killy. I think they definitely need another look over in terms of loadouts, they should get ridiculous weapon loadouts to make em truly versatile, here's hoping it comes true in the codex.

45:55 got me. Also thanks for sacrificing yourself Berilio, it is greatly appreciated.

The tau also only have 4 detachments.

[@DrAculushka]

The main problem of BA index, that ba has decent rule, +2s and 1 A on charge. To run melee units that can benefit from this army rule you need either transport or jump packs. And when any good jump pack combo cost around 400 pst. You start thinking. What the f< ok I`musing transports, then you think when you use transport there is lesser amount of units that benefit from this army rule, In the end You just switch detachment which is can benefit all of the army.

Thanks burellio i hope they rewarded you with at least an hour of seeing the sunlight before putting you back in the basement

[@danieledwards4821]

Tyranid player here, I personally like to use synaptic nexus the most, it's my favorite because it improves on the shadow of the warp which is a part of the army I wish we better and the detachment somewhat helps with that

[@weirdflex1673]

Thank you Burellio for your work.

[@michaelstevens5712]

Admech hopium: They've realized we just aren't buying or playing and are going to give us emergency Myrmidons when the plastic Heresy range launches. I don't think they'd go further than that as a patch, but I think if there was a Knight detachment we'd all just be happily painting Canis Rex right now.

I wish Bricky mentioned the Master of Executions during his legionaries spam idea. Legionaries already get rerolls to wound on objections, and the MoE provides full rerolls to hit if the target is below starting strength, which is extremely easy to accomplish. You can give a squad with 2 power fist profiles and 8 chainswords along with a MoE axe full rerolls to hit and wound for free for 240 points (260 if you add on a Talisman of Burning Blood for the MoE). That's less (or equal) to an unleaded squad of 10 chosen at 260. I think that's insane value

Oh This is gonna be good

[@makhina8839]

It truly is baffling how much they hate flyers, Deathwatch and Forgeworld

[@SWProductions100]

(Full speculation ahead) If Forgeworld is a separate team within GW - and they want to shutter that department - I can at least see the business explanation.

[@luisvilla5228]

36:27 don’t worry, the blank background really sells the joke here 😂. I can vividly see Berillio staring tiredly as Brad said that

[@IsikPalion]

Thank you Burellio.

[@nathanegnew1923]

For the Editor!

[@Darluk]

Thank you Berilio! 😀

"After the next couple of dataslates" ... guys, with two of these per year we are only four dataslates away from the NEXT EDITION. I have this against-all-odds hope GW changes their approach to (digital) rules with AoS 4th, and gets it right (or at least better)... but you know, GW is gonna GW. Everybody needs to stop buying the codizes, full stop. Nothing else will make GW reconsider their way of doing rules.

For swarmlord context even in army: Maleceptor is a similar profile for 170 with +1T +4W and a aura6 that weakens enemies for extra defense Swarmlord has slightly more attacks but without strike/sweep and has 2 other armies slightly altered enchants built in (+55 points total) and their own lynchpin (gives any nid snypase9, but as tyrants already are base synapse you can cut that by 5 for snyapse keyword itself and then to a third for how much of a improvement it is so extra +5). So if you could build-a-nid like in 3rd ed, a maleceptor as currently is or a emptied tyrant would still be a superior swarmlord for 10 points cheaper or the same respectively. THIS IS A CHARACTER THAT IN LORE CUT APART BANEBLADES TRYING TO KILL A BLUEBERRY YET LOSES TO TANKS IT COSTS MORE THAN (he loses to a regular walking tyrant if put in melee he costs 20 less than because that walk tyrant can at least has 5+++>4+++ bss). Just give gargamel the current nightbringer points and sheet with innate FNP replaced with "steals all other tyrant and epic hero models _insert keyword that sounds nid like and means something like "Biosemiotic"_ ability and any enhancement" if that unit was deployed first battle round and died while he is in reserved" and then tag each signature ability (leapers fear aura, one eyes regen, tyrants assault aura, id argue flyers wings but parox is ok too, synapse jellies from neuro and something for each norn) with that keyword and spead the vect and 1cp somehow across the tyrants. Oh and give the norns the tyrant keyword already, im tired of pretending they arent just objective sitter hive tyrants in a more expensive box.

[@Shrrrg]

I think no one is noticing sisters being one of the top armies is because no one plays them. We are very expensive, hard to paint and actually hard to play.

[@veren1838]

Thank you Burellio Grandpa Nurgle would be proud.
