The clarification of the word “any” means that tiger sharks can now unequivocally shoot the turn they enter if they enter right on the corner

[@steelmanf339]

...but Hammerheads and Devilfish only come with 60mm round flying bases, and round bases are excluded from having a pivot value of 2"

[@Puretideprogram]

Yes that's true and is going to make our vehicles sooo much faster!

[@Mapp0]

I’m so happy I can have my 2x2 rail sides back in kayoun

[@Ghostkeel17]

I thought the same. It was already a option for my list and now it is their time to shine again. Rail, Seeker, Plasma Loadout?

[@jazzj2]

I had a fond 2 games with the kroot detachment, time to never finish painting them and only run a handful in montka for screening purposes

[@philskade9537]

Just a temporary reprieve for the Kroot! Big points drops next time round to benefit the whole of the Greater Good! Great work Kyle, peeps should sign up to his Discord and Program!

[@lukashart7002]

Why didn't they lower the cost a little, if they're gonna nerf an army that wasn't even that good?

[@user-uv8ti5hx2h]

Man, the lone op nerf, trail shaper nerf and the revive nerf. That hurt me right in the kroot :(

[@lukashart7002]

Glad I just spent hundreds of dollars, and hours of work to build and paint an army that now sucks. I just feel lied to. I feel scammed

[@martial8574]

That's the problem with 40k, things always change and you feel like you lost time and money

[@typicalneet]

There wasn’t a lone op nerf? It’s only for stratagems, not the lone operative keyword

[@user-uv8ti5hx2h]

@@typicalneet yes

[@mhicks31]

on the positive side for the kroot detachment, they are longer tied to taking an ethereal in every list. so there's that. lol.

[@caspianvonliechtenstein6517]

My favorite list to play is Mont’ka list tiled Tau-kyo Drift. It is a vehicle heavy list drifting around corners and firing.

[@Puretideprogram]

It's good and super strong 💪🏻

[@apexwrex]

> "short video" > Wait this is a 44 minute video 😂 Thanks for all the content dude, much appreciated

[@Puretideprogram]

I mean considering the new changes spread over 4 different documents and most reviews are 2-3hrs long I'd say 44 mins is short 😜

[@FancyTophatDude]

Glad I picked Kroot as my first army. How fun. Love that we took everything even remotely cool or special about them and made it lesser.

[@lukashart7002]

I'm right there with you, dude.

[@maxgullberg9733]

For the greater good!

[@asfaltowybom]

Very much recommended! I have been a member for a couple of weeks and love it!

[@Puretideprogram]

Great to hear! 💪🏻😎👊🏻

[@ChristopherM.8]

For The Greater Good!

[@GlistaFina]

As allways best INFO your can get, THANK YOU.

[@Puretideprogram]

My pleasure! 😊

[@CustodialNinja]

Fantastic video. Concise, clear, positive, and insightful.

[@petebedwellphotos]

My favourite part about this update is that after saying “You can build a completely Kroot army!” and giving them their own Detatchment, they have now (possibly inadvertently) nerfed them with every change to stratagems. They got me again.

[@gidthaillest]

My first army is kroot i haven’t even painted it all yet. Good thing the models r sick but def hurts a bit.

[@fozzykhf78]

I love my suit list. Only concern is with the new objectives / mission pack is the Battle line keyword on them

[@Puretideprogram]

Strike teams!!!

[@antoineb769]

Dope. Can't wait to play that brand new game

[@Puretideprogram]

Same 💪🏻🖤

[@PackOfPureWin]

Technically, Hammerheads/Devilfish/Piranhas have round bases... so does that mean they pivot for free?

[@Puretideprogram]

Correct 💯

[@samronco5133]

but tau vehicles have round flight bases so aren't they, according to the rule, excluded from the pivot rule.

[@danwilliams2809]

Quick upload mate!

[@Puretideprogram]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@HollowFaB]

did this just kill the neurochip enhancement for ret cad? like it's unusable now with the commentary

[@Puretideprogram]

It's unusable but I've had it confirmed it will get changed on the next change

[@HollowFaB]

@Puretideprogram would be nice to be able to jump shoot jump in ret cad with 2 units, dunno if it's worth 25pts and 2 cp, but maybe

[@maxwelladragonslayer346]

I have a 2k coming up and now I have no idea what to run for it

[@TheConnoroth]

Right.. considering Tidewalls can move and charging tankshock is done on toughness. Can we charge Tidewalls, they don't have a melee stat but would allow breachers to move up?

[@torakazu2269]

Krootbros, it's so over...

[@pajugarline6121]

Broadside point change was on purpose? 3 for 300 while in other cases you pay 90 points per model....

[@ChristopherM.8]

Almost certainly an attempt to differentiate between railgun and high-yield missile pods. 1x3 missile-broadsides cost effectively 100ppm and 1x2 railgun broadsides cost 90ppm as you're rarely taking that 3rd broadside.

[@Martinutenetternavn]

do hurt the 3 mann missile spam that is very strong.

[@jasonherbert319]

I’m ready for nexus!

[@Puretideprogram]

It's sooo good and a great time to be playing 40k!

[@Matthewsadlerkeen]

I think the Hidden Hunters Strat is still 12? It never explicitly mentioned loneop.

[@Puretideprogram]

Unfortunately it hits them 😕

[@happosaai]

Heya! If the Devilfish/Hammerhead/Skyray is on that round flying base, does it not mean they have a pivot value of 0" tather than the 2"?

[@Puretideprogram]

Correct 💯

[@klendathu2806]

So not wanting to be a doom poster, but are Kroot tournament viable? Just seems like we got hit pretty hard indirectly.

[@Puretideprogram]

Unfortunately we got slammed for other armies sins looking at you Guard and necrons!!! We will get something eventually but I will revisit kroot at some point to see if I can make something out of a bad situation.

[@klendathu2806]

@@Puretideprogram 🙏 Just got my Kroot dice in a few days ago. Looking forward to rolling them (not getting rolled) ha

[@davidjones4772]

Just tell me to bring all the suits please

[@Puretideprogram]

Bring suits but maybe not all of them 😉

[@aj.hardwick]

Why are vespids still the worst at their specific ability? Like obviously no one was paying attention to tau with this BDS outside of points, or we wouldn't now have a whole ass dead enhancement, but this would have been the time to do it....

[@jean-sebastienleduc1484]

its cool to have a decrease of pts on crisis...is it to much tought? I fear the next nerf bat.

[@Puretideprogram]

It's going to be very good and ready to go 😎

[@owentheparadox9726]

Gotta love having fun kroot rules for a month or 2 and then getting all the toys taken away. War shaper already wasn't amazing and now does almost nothing except be an assassin if you invest the extra points and lock yourself out of one of the other enhancements. Trail shapers have lost the safety they provided. Hidden hunters doesn't cover rampager threat range anymore unless theyre going to give them advance and charge or increased movement. Join the hunt feels like a forced decision of you have to use it on a 20 carnivore blob or lose out with no room for anything else.

[@DareToWonder]

where can i see your stuff for retaliaton cadre?

[@Puretideprogram]

Within my discord subscription service right now. I will be doing some free stuff but honestly the content for patrons is top tier 😎

[@DareToWonder]

@@Puretideprogram im assemblying my Tau army now. When I have it ready for the table i'll subscribe. (im just 5 units away)

[@doukasphatskool9364]

actually vehicles with flying bases have a pivot value of 0", so even more powerfull

[@doukasphatskool9364]

they are excluded from the second part of the pivoting rule so only the first part of the rule effects them

[@kingoglow2186]

I hate to see that Tau have more 2 CP strats across four detachments than Chaos has across eight detachments. Only Farsight will give reduced CP use as an ability while Chaos has all those characters. That is INSANE to me and would have like to see several strats reduced in cost.

[@In_Purple_Clad]

Puretide Engram Neurochip gonna do stonks in Retaliation Cadre when it gets clarified. You are right about Chaos though. I collect them too. Nothin' but Lords and more Lords for HQs in that army. I guess it's for lore reasons/ an attempt at making the 2 factions feel distinct and have a different flavour (???) CSM is all about bands of ferocious Warriors being encouraged and inspired to fight for glorious champions and exalted warlords. Maybe GW wants that to be the factions' identity, so they design them to have easy access to free stratagems if they're being led by ferocious warlords, but the stratagrms themselves don't actually do anything too ridiculous or op. And also at the expense of CSM players finding it really really hard to find any units with high AP in that army. ( Seriously, good luck getting any AP higher than -3 unless you're playing 1 very specific detachment and the unit's on an objective. You've no idea how infuriating the lack of AP can be sometimes.😂) Meanwhile Tau units get to sneeze and plop out an insane amount of high AP shots with minimal effort that wipe out whole deathstar bricks with ease, much to my opponent 's chagrin 😂. We make an absolute mockery out of 2+ save vehicles in cover. Even Armour of Contempt barely gets them up to a 6+. Even 4+ invulns only help half the time. The downside being, Tau have to be very careful with CP, and really plan ahead and figure out how and when to use these very powerful stratagems. You know, Like a highly intelligent commander and strategist viewing the battlefield through a holo field in a command bunker reading Puretide's Art of War. (Edited for spelling and grammer)

[@AP-ob2gn]

I am Kroot

[@mandemulus6196]

Is commander farsight good?

[@lukashart7002]

Yeah he's pretty good

[@Puretideprogram]

Yes he is very good and arguably better now as he can use his ability on any strat that just targets himself or his unit

[@kevoreilly6557]

The obsession with the 1% who play tournaments is destroying this game

[@FancyTophatDude]

1 - update the entire kroot model range giving them some of the sickest models out there 2 - give kroot their own detachment with a bunch of flavorful abilities and awesome strategems 3 - the community's reaction is that they're kinda playable. Nowhere near overpowered with clear draw backs and blind spots in their range 4 - raise their points, nerf basically all their strategems ... 5 - no one enjoys playing kroot, time to abandon them for the next 10 to 20 years

[@WardenOfTerra]

These new rules additions are genuinely pointless. They just keep making the game more time-consuming by adding convoluted mechanics instead of streamlining the game in ways that make sense.
