[@Admiralkirk95]

I really thought the drone for the vespid was going to be how the vespid gained 'for the greater good'. Cause in the killteam stuff it seems that's its purpose, to improve the coordination of the squad. Still a good buff for the vespid with the ability being changed. Definetly makes them synergize better with Pariah nexus' action heavy rules. And the ten man extra weapons might be fun if you want to try it out. My brother is gonna be happy with it.

[@theStamax]

Yeah man. I hoped for that too. As is, they'll probably only see play as 5 mans for scoring, but could be fun to take out the big 10 man once in a while (although it's pretty much inarguably worse).

[@Admiralkirk95]

@@theStamax The only real benefit is the ten man gets all three special weapons, that's about it. So if you desperatly want more fire power that can drop down anywhere I guess that's all it's for. but yes, their main focus will be objectives and utility. So the five man will be the most efficient for pro play.

The 5 model vespid squad looks very nice with the improved reserves rule, but bumping up to 10 puts them in competition with Crisis Suits and I don't think they stack up well especially if you account for the available synergies. If the Hunting Pack detachment were updated to have some stuff work on Vespid as well, I think the larger squad could have a place there. I don't expect that to happen though.

[@theStamax]

Yeah pretty sure we'll only ever see them in 5mans in competitive. You gain almost nothing of value for double the cost (arguably worse cause harder to put 10 down to score) and the added weapons either do almost nothing or are too unreliable to be counted on. Now if only the unit would get For the Greater Good and strat support instead of just ignores cover :/

I will be adding the aquillons to my guard, having already picked up the box. The vespid are currently the only tau I own. but I may try them out with the kill team rules.

[@SpartaMacIntyre]

The Aquilon rules are pretty much what I was expecting. I feel they could have included more specialists like the Grenadier, but maybe they thought the ability to Deep Strike so close to the enemy and then chuck a massive bomb at them (assuming it would be like the Kasrkin's melta charge) would be too powerful. Though maybe they could have made the Grenadier powerful, but you have to choose between them and the melta/plasma? I kinda hoped the Gunfighter would get 4 shots or at least Twin Linked but, as you say, if they're usually going to be doing Danger Close Deep Strikes, 2 pistols are as good as the carbine. Still praying for all hot-shot weapons to go back to their proper place with -2AP at some point though :(

[@FaradisAnto]

I never understood why why most weapons are better at armor penetrating than the Boltgun with explosive rounds.

[@Calvin_Coolage]

​@@FaradisAntoBoltguns unless equipped with special ammunition aren't built for armor penetration in the first place.

[@SpartaMacIntyre]

@@FaradisAnto I don't think any weapons are as powerful on the tabletop as in the fluff: the hot-shot lasgun is described as powerful enough to melt through ceramite, and requires so much power that the user needs a backpack to carry its battery...yet in this edition it's 100% inferior to the bolter and shuriken catapult. There used to be a nice balance where those two had higher Strength but the hot-shot weapons had better AP *shrug* Stormies/Kasrkin/Scions etc are all very good because they're cheap and have Lethal Hits and lots of special weapons, but I would rather their firepower came from their cool, unique hot-shot weapons even if it meant reducing the number of plasma guns etc they can carry.

[@FluffyyofChaos]

Wow im actually super jaded, the HS Lascarbine profile is exactly what i said the Kasrkin "Hellgun" profile should have been... instead we got boring lasrifles

[@theStamax]

They are both quite good to excellent. Aquilons have less raw punch than Scions but can 3 inch deepstrike and still put the hurt on infantry pretty reliably (at least anything below Terminator durability). As such they are a solid unit to strike objectives and clear off holding units your enemy is trying to screen. However, they aren't great for scoring (unless it's big boi points) as they're a bit too expensive for that imo (especially compared to regular scions at 50p for 5). They also have some solid combo potential with units that can order them. Vespids are very good for Tau since they are a unit filling an empty spot in the roster. However, I doubt we'll ever see them in 10 mans in competitive. You basically gain nothing of worth for paying double the points as they still won't do any substantial damage and the weapons are either borderline useless (flamer) to gimmicky (neutron rail rifle) at best. In fact they are pretty much worse in their role (scoring) because it's harder to fit 10 models than 5.

The Aquilons might possibly end up being broken. It's early to say that, of course, but they effectively give the Guard a unit that can pay 1CP at the end of enemy movement to stuff almost any charge and then add injury to insult by firing a free shot at the unit they did it to into the bargain. For fairly fragile units like Wyches, Daemonettes and Howling Banshees that are often relying on speed to get them into combat without getting shot too much that could be absolutely lethal. Even tougher elites like Incubi will need to respect that grenade launcher, or even the Flamer since there's nothing stopping the Aquilons still Overwatching the survivors when they try to charge. It's a shame about the Vespid special weapons. I'd've thought it'd be better to give them one special per 5, with a bonus one if there's a full squad of 10. Minimal action-monkey units will almost certainly be the only way they get run.

[@Awesomotron2k]

Not just in rapid ingress, think about it. Just drop them normal, flame. Shooting phase, flame. Enemy movement overwatch flame again. 3d6+9 flamer shots before the enemy unit even activates. That's some serious chaff clear for 90 points. Not to mention that this is great for clearing far objectives and assasinate lone ops.

Say you have an important unit that needs to stay out of combat and Lelith and a unit of Wyches have done one of the Skysplinter long-bomb moves to end up 5" away from them, ready to blend them in the charge phase. You pay 1CP, Rapid Ingress the Aquilons so they can drop in the gap with their 3" Deep Strike and block the charge. Then, because you set up the Aquilons, you get to shoot the turret shots at the Wyches right then, probably killing several. Then, especially if you brought the Flamer, when the Wyches do try to charge you can still use Overwatch to kill even more of them.

It’s a melee problem unfortunately. Doing it with guns after your opponent has a full turn to kill them is valued much different than a melee unit that gets in and leaves before an opponent can deal with them fairly. Melee is more Killy than range so it’s a scarier thing in general and if you don’t pick them up can lock a unit down effectively killing it.

[@Pers0n97]

A bit weird for the rail rifle to not have the precision keyword when it's clearly a sniper.. but hey. Overall its just a flat buff accross the boad which was needed. They can now be taken by 10 (and you are STRONGELY incentivized to take them like that as otherwise you won't have access to the special weapons), they have decent weapon options and the once per game drone. This is one of the rare case where GW found a way to make the "free wargear" actually work, by making it "cost" you to have take more models than you probably want for such a fragile unit usually used to do some objective shenanigans Sadly, it's once again one of thos "you have to take one of each of thos special weapons" rather than "pick up to 3 from that list", which means a bunch or random missmatched guns that makes the attack roll a pain in the dick and rpevent you from having any real specialization to your squad (can't have a 3 flamer squad, or 3 grenade launcher, etc). I really, REALLY do hate the way they have done the Sentry for the Aquillon tho. Basically the sentry is a token (can we stop with fucking token ffs? This is a fucking wargame, the minies are not tokens!), and one of your aquillon is actually the one carrying the sentry gun... And ... that's it. You can just zoom around, shoot the sentry weapon every turn because the sentry just magically move with your squad and all... Its so lame. All they had to do was to have it be a 1 unit model that break off from the tempestus on the drop and have a M1 or something, it would have been actually fun.

Aquillons are a prime example of a badly adapted Kill Team. That Datasheet is way to complicated! Just give them their special weapons and don't try to make their specialists distinct (in 40k). Also not every weapon option that they have needs to be available within the same squad.

I'd suggest just stealing the wings from a $5 monster from the D&D line of miniatures that are probably selling in the same hobby shop you'd get Warhammer stuff from.

What about hang gliders?

Hi! I only recently found your channel, and it's been a great help for me as a WH40k newbie. I have a question for you, or for people here. Sorry about it not being about the video, but i kinda hoping for an quick answer. I bought Starter Set for 10th ed. And i kinda want to try my hand in Combat Patrol mode. The box i got is missing a single unit for both Space Marines and Tyranids. I'm wondering - if i buy a ballistus\brutalis dreadnought and add it to space marines - i actually get 510 points force. Would it be okay to play this in Combat Patrols and do i even allowed to do something like this?

[@CMTechnica]

Combat Patrol is its own mode with its own datasheets. Throwing in a dread when it’s not part of the patrol is only going to skew the list and unbalance the game. Just play normal 40k at that point.

[@glebscheglov9291]

@@CMTechnica what is a minimal point value needed to play normal 40k?

[@comradedragon]

​@glebscheglov9291 a fairly typical army is gonna be 1000 points, but the smallest you can normally run is 500 points in small scale skirmishes.

If the Aquilons could be deployed in a 5 block, I would be more interested. Also if I could get them for cheaper. Even if I split the cost of a box with a Tau player, 10 bucks per trooper? No thanks.

[@frostedbutts4340]

Bet you could convert them pretty easily from Scions + bits. Or get some *cough* recast Elysian drop troops

Guys, hear me out, we should have a Suppressor Kill Team for Space Marines. They could be entirely new sculpts with more variety in war gear, but finally make Suppressors available for Space Marine players outside of buying the box set.
