The GW Balance Team response after nerfing your Warhammer army lists and units

[@lunahughes8541]

Death guard being one of the top armies rn and not being nerfed is actually insane

[@JohnBryett-wt9uj]

Mortarion getting a buff is diabolical after getting a pts reduction, from a deathgaurd player. I'd rather them try to re work the blightlords datasheet and balance the army more than making units like deathshroud, Typhus, Mortarion more powerful

[@lunahughes8541]

@@JohnBryett-wt9uj as a death guard player I'd rather our blight haulers be able to have +1 to wound again monsters and viechles rather than just viechles (blight lords are a job for the codex to far to save now)

[@obi-wankenobi4582]

@@JohnBryett-wt9ujwhat buff did Morty get? He got deepstrike but that doesn’t matter much because he’s much more useful starting on the board to apply buffs to other units

[@JohnBryett-wt9uj]

@obi-wankenobi4582 still better than not getting deepstrike and he's also cheap as hell

[@lunahughes8541]

@@obi-wankenobi4582 it depends on the game because sometimes you'd rather have him closer and gain contagion range and drop him with some termies

TBF though, the Guard have a codex on the way. Now the Sisters of Battle on the other hand...

[@robnoel9306]

Imagine if they didn't rush from edition to edition, with massive changes each edition. They would have balance already. That doesn't sell more though. Unbalances does.

Ive litterally just started collecting Models a few months ago. Now as I finish and complete my first army I now need to rebuild and figure it all out again. I havent even played yet....

[@Future-Corpse]

Welcome to warhammer! Lol. Buy 3rd party models and play 3rd party rules and it'll all hurt alot less

[@thedeathleaper2009]

@@Future-CorpseAnd then GW will go bankrupt and 40k will be gone! Doesn’t that sound great?

[@peterclarke7006]

​@@Future-Corpseyep. Wargames Atlantic and OPR are my current way of playing my beloved Guard without bankrupting and frustrating myself. Haven't touched a GW product in about a year 😁

Where games workshop is the flying units rebalance...

[@Lorddacenshadowind]

I mean.... krieg wasn't touched lol

[@GoblinWarlordGaming]

They know they’d have a full blown riot and they wouldn’t sell the new models as much loo

[@Endurius]

because they want that you/we buy the kriegers ...."Look every other good cost the same in points , then you can take the kriegers which are better" - GW-Salesmen

[@tiedyediscoguy4450]

Infantry squads weren't touched either

[@triplea657aaa]

I'd say all of the changes were fair (though extremely harsh in some cases, i.e. sisters) except guard got hit too hard. Guard was definitely the second best army in the game, but they were like 53-54% winrate. They didn't deserve the hit they took. Maybe the new detachment and codex will make up for it, but as is, it was too hard.

[@PelinalDidNothingWrong]

Fnaf and 40k??? Nice!

[@Spooky470]

Bro gets nerfed once and wont let it down 😭💀

[@jakemusselman8172]

A nerf is 1 thing this was excessive

[@mastermide77]

Skill issue. Should've played a bad army, so you can't (mostly) get nerfed. Admech keep winning. Bug crons too. My list went down 50 pts lol

[@leroy203]

Can you not just play with the old ruleset?

[@FriendlyPalBud]

Not really. Even in casual games its assumed your using the latest rules and point values

[@attemptedunkindness3632]

@@FriendlyPalBud My group still plays 8th ed(RIP 7th ed, last of the real ones), there have been pushes from within and without to try 10th ed, but that would require us to acknowledge 9th ed existed.

[@FriendlyPalBud]

@@attemptedunkindness3632 lol that's entirely fair, and more power to you (I miss 4th). But yeah, that's why I said "assumed", as in "unless specified otherwise" but maybe I should have said "generally" or specified the exceptions about people playing different editions. With that said, I'm not sure I've heard of anyone playing 10th and not using the latest point updates.
