I was wondering if Coldstars are still just for "blowing stuff with 4 fusions". 3xAFP +AFP Supernova Launcher may be a quite interesting equipment for them, especially with ignoring LOS. AFP Coldstars can hide, be very mobile and decimate T3/T4 units. I quess. It would be cool to actually mathhammer this.

Awesome work, thanks for compiling it and walking us through it. I like that you mentioned the other factors to consider, such as durability and range. This particularly affects breachers which are fragile and need to be at 5" range for your efficiency numbers. At look at mid range, say 15 to 18" would be interesting. Even with triple firing strike teams I think they struggle, however gun drones with a drone controller will pull ahead of the breachers easily. Range was only mentioned briefly and it can massively affect the analysis. If we're looking at breachers at 5" range we could include my hybridised weapon triple flamer crisis suits, which at 12" range will piss all over farsight AFP, however being able to fire out of line of sight is nice. I was using 40 fire warriors, 15 pathfinders and 10 kroot, so 65 infantry, but that has dropped to 30 in my early 9th edition lists. I don't think (but would be happily proved wrong) that the benefit of objective secured and infantry being needed for many secondaries outweighs the 28% increase in strike team costs (and don't get me started on the 38% and 50% increase in pathfinders and kroot).

I've been building my lists around the AIA Riptide since PA came out. That thing is a BEAST! first time I used it knocked out a baneblade in one turn of shooting. If it shoots the target dies. You don't have to nova the gun as it's overcharge is flat 6 shots. So it's always in a 3+invul and there is just no comparison to its gun. Str9 ap5 d3+3 damage. Godlike.

I've been having a great time playing with AFP Crisis as a back liner threat! Usually players tend to let low resilient units or horde holding the objectives in its deploy zone. What I'm doing is deep striking those crisis behind an obscure terrain and start popping hits without LOS, not only this make my opponent lose objectives, it make it lose time and turns trying to hunt those crises who are very resilient with the relic for canceling Ap-1 and -2 and for last I'm choosing Linebreaker secondaries so those Crisis tend to survive 3-4 turns earning me 12-15 points.

First off, thanks for the comparison. Appreciate all the work you put into this :) I would be interested in a comparison between the Relic Ion Riptide vs the Relic Rail Rifle Broadside. The Ion gun has better damage (3+d3 vs d6 min 3), but Broadsides bring more SMS in a squad of 3 for similar points. Also, what about Veteran crisis with Missilepods? Compared to Broadsides, you lose all the SMS, but you get a bit more mobility and better BS. Also curious on 3 MPs vs 2 + ATS. I tried the Relic Ion Riptide a couple of times in 8th and your numbers prove my feelings right. S9 and min 4 damage are really great ^^

MP crisis are not even competing in the "efficient killing" department. a non-overcharged CiB has the same profile with 50% more shots. You take them because two of such suits costs like one HYMP+SMS broadside. so same number of missile shots, but no SMS and lower durability. Unless you Vet them, they have no real value, and honestly I ain't sure they do even if do you vet them. (didn't run the numbers, but I can tell its far behind CiB suits)
@rathstar
@rathstar 4 жыл бұрын
@@yoashbarak373 Non overcharged cib only does 1 wound, plus your analysis of ignores the double range of the missile pod. Missile pod crisis suits can start on the board, while the cib crisis suits will likely be deepstriking so only firing turn 2 at the earliest. Crisis suits can shoot at all if tagged in combat, so the extra range on the missile pods allows them to operate at safer distances. The short range on the cib means it sometimes has to fire at what's in range not what you ideally want to fire at, less of an issue with the double range on the missile pod. While cib armed crisis suits are still good, writing off missile pod ones is a bit premature. Personally I don't use either load out as I don't play farsight, but having used missile crisis suits in previous editions I know they have their place.

For what they're trying to do Magna Rail Broadsides and AIA Riptides are very similar on a wounds-per-point basis. The relic riptide is slightly better against tanks, the broadsides slightly better vs. invulns. The biggest difference in damage is that the broadsides do ~50-80% more to troops. However, the riptide is far more durable, with the 3+ invuln, and more mobile. An interesting comparison though. I can see the broadsides doing well if using a custom sept with hardened warheads, perhaps 3 of those to complement 3 or 6 HYMP ones. Missile pod crisis suits do roughly 2/3 the wounds per point compared to CIB crisis (just over 2/3 against everything anything except T4 & T8, about 1/2 vs. T4&8) for which you get extra range and don't have to overcharge. Not worth it for FSE in my view as you'll want to be inside 12" anyway for the markerlight. Where this becomes somewhat interesting is 3MP crisis suits with the hardened warheads sept tenet, but even then your paying 4 points and 1 strength for the range and not needing to overcharge. But even then HYMP broadsides do ~40-50% more damage per point vs. troops and ~30-35% vs. most other units. Crisis are more mobile, but with broadsides able to move and shoot I don't think the difference is worth it. In my view, for your damage dealers, if you're running hardened warheads you want HYMP broadsides and/or riptides, if you're running FSE you want crisis with CIBs (I prefer 2CIB+ATS personally) and perhaps 1 or 2 with fusion, and if you're running anything else you want riptides. With all of these you want lots of gun drones to clear out 1W troops, plus maybe with a 3-suit squad of burst cannon or flamer crisis to help with this and overwatch.

Tiger shark efficiency including modulated weaponary stratagem (as it's the only reason to run him, and it pomp's out his dmg output by a lot) 2.Also When it comes to veteran crisis suits, any combination of double weapon and drone controler should be really good as it offers effectively 2+ hit rolls, rerolling one's from whatever (single markerlight (achivable out of stratagem) farsight enclave ability or any other reason. 3.One thing im really curious as well is regular crisis suits equipped with 3x flamers and upgraded to a strenght 5 at 6" rerolling 1ns to wound at 6" from enclave aswell. They seem pretty cheap for the avarage amount of dmg they can do. Idk if you have the option to include reroll's into the statistics though?

With so many commando points I think this unit should be the most efficient in our arsenal... 12 x S8 -2 & 3D / 12 x S6 -2 & 2D / 6 x S8 -1 D3 / 4 x S6 -1 D3 all hitting with BS2!!!!

The none AX-01 tigershark is surprisingly good , with the swiftstrike burst cannon it actually beat the ppw of the crisis and even more surprisingly with the railgun it trounced the Riptide.... Might need to rerun that cause it just doesn't feel right xD

Units that rely on volume of fire are impacted the most by taking these into account. (Yes, both are situational, but I can help understand when it's best to lock down a single target or spread the shooty-shooty love around the board) I have a far less comprehensive spreadsheet, but does allow to adjust for ML effects (at 1ML and 5ML) and kauyon.

Upgunned burst cannon crisis suits are really good. Going from AP 0 to 1 is far more important than 1 to 2, so you tend to take 2BC+ATS on standard crisis and 3BC on upgunned ones, meaning upgunned effectively lets you run 3BC+ATS. An extra burst cannon is 50% more shots and 50% more expected wounds, compared to the 26.7% more you get from the better BS of veteran cadre. Interestingly, the gatling burst cannon relic and veteran cadre are identical on burst cannon crisis suits, as both give you an extra hit 1/6 of the time. If you take the view that upgunned works on the gatling relic (the rules aren't clear and the FAQ didn't help) you get similar performance to gun drones with a drone controller (the best in the faction against 1W infantry) - slightly better vs. marines and 3+ saves, slightly worse vs. guard and 5+ - without the limitation of having to shoot the nearest target. Having said that, crisis suits with 3 flamers and hybrid weaponry perform even better against 1W infantry, not to mention being utterly insane in overwatch.

XV9s with fusion are more points efficient than vet xv8's w stabilization (even after the forgeworld knee cappening). 4 words. Command and control node. I still like the thought of xv8's with fusion and reactive countermeasures, but 8, 18" fusion shots vs 18 12" fusion shots with re-rolls and ccn will even defeat necron vehicles with unvul saves and 4+ wound abilities.

Love the video, but sadly some of the numbers are wrong. For example: 2CIB+ATS vet crisis suits firing at a T3, 5+, 1W target take 6 shots, expecting to hit 4 and wound 3.33, with no saving throw. Dividing by 71 points gives 0.0469 wounds per point, not the 0.0352 your spreadsheet gives. Your 3CIB vet crisis suit figure is correct though. This makes a big difference as 2CIB+ATS crisis suits generally outperform the 3CIB option on a wounds per point basis, except minorly against GEQ. Just realised, your figures for some of the crisis suits are for BS4+, without the veteran cadre.

@@InvasiveWargaming Just to add, your riptide numbers are also off - I think your numbers are correct if you assume the main gun auto hits. For example take the HBC SMS ATS riptide vs. an intercessor, where you have it as the #1 most efficient: the HBC makes 18 shots with Novacharge, hitting 9 times (4s), wounding 6 (3s), 4 (5s) failing their save, meaning it does 8 expected damage. The SMS adds another 1.33 expected damage, for a total of 9.33. Divided by the 305 cost gives 0.0306 Exp. D per point, not the 0.566 you have, putting it mid table for efficiency. The relic AIA SMS ATS seems even more off, and isn't fully explained by the above so I can't work out exactly why we have different figures. For example vs a standard T8 S3+ 12W tank I calculate the main gun doing 10 expected wounds, the SMS adding 0.66, making it 0.0333 expected damage per point, way off the 0.0772 you have. Still around the best performer, but handily beaten by fusion commanders and crisis suits, and narrowly by CIB-armed veterans, rather than being the standout #1. I may have missed something here, though I can't think what I could have that would explain the discrepancy. Putting these together give a really different picture of what's efficient though. Veteran crisis suits become distinctly more efficient in terms of damage than riptides, winning virtually every category (AFP/burst/flame vs. 1W, CIB vs. 2-3W and 4+W with invulns, fusion vs. 4+W without invulns), which compensates for their lower durability and CP cost.

I'm happy to swap spreadsheets if you'd like to see my working. I've made minor differences in assumptions in a couple of places (e.g. D3 wound vs. 2W: while the first wounding hit does an expected 1.67 wounds subsequent ones need to take previous hits into account, meaning a crisis team with CIBs ends up doing ~1.52 E(W) per wounding hit).

Guys, this is very sad .. I tried kill team for Tau six months ago. I liked it and I decided to collect an army of the Great Good. And almost immediately, the 9th edition comes to Warhammer. And your only favorite faction ends up in complete shit. And now I am even afraid to buy something and build a roster, because it is not known what will be in the new code and my roster may be absolutely unplayable. The thing is that the tau were originally made such that they drove them to a dead end .. You cannot fight, but you shoot. if you did not manage to shoot the enemy on the way to you, you are dead. Hit or miss. Black or white. Only two options. And to run to you with such shooting, ballistics skill, with such a miserable overwatch will not be difficult for any army in general. What can fix this situation? 1) Increase the ballistic skill to 3+ It would seem that this would devalue the markerlights. But no. Just fix the marker table. For example: 1 marker-reroll 1to hit; 2 marker !!!! - overwatch 5+ or 4+; 3 markers - no cover benefits; and marker 4 is about missiles, and marker 5 is ATTENTION !! Not +1 that hit, but ignoring all buffs of the enemy army for a hit penalty. Thus, you will shoot according to the standard ballistic skill 3+. In my opinion, not bad and not an imbalance. 2) Dealing damage. I think, taking into account the latest trends, we need to make some guns more armor-piercing and with a damage of 2. Here we need to think. For example, the pulse of a rifle or burst of a gun, change the stats by 5; -1; 2. It is also possible to revise some of the big guns of battle suits so that they can adequately respond to toughness 8, which is now so much (for vehicles of spacemarines for example). 3) Add a stratagem that would allow shooting at the FIGHTING PHASE from all available weapons, as if they were firing at an ultra-short distance. 4) And the last. To prevent fire warriors from being such cannon fodder, you need to increase their vitality. You can leave them their stamina and the number of wounds, but increase the save to 3+. And you can give a stratagem on fnp, which would be very useful for controlling points. That's probably all. And believe me, compared to those changes and bonuses of the enemy armies, all this would not be imbalanced. This would allow this army to play with dignity and give a competitive rebuff to the enemy.
