Official data slate is now out! How do you feel about these boys at 120? They are now 20 points more than a full unit of scions with the new buff?

[@wyatttyson7737]

Dead. The Kasrkin are dead at 120. Scions at 100 are way stronger now. “Fun” note: Kasrkin are now only 2 ppm cheaper than a Tactical Marine.

[@friendlyneighbourhoodsunwheel]

As someone who plays 30 of them yes it's a great unit. They tend to lurk and counter strike units with volleys of plasma and hotshots. That and they'd have to chew through 80 Kriegers before they get to them.

[@ElfBreeder]

you make me want to start an astra militarum army lmao. First tempestus scion tech, now this. 😅

[@TacticalTortoise]

plz forgive me

[@s.h-d6074]

Kasrkin are amazingly self sufficient and do not need orders from an officer. Furthermore they are points efficient...I'm prepared for a points bump. Atm 300 points well spent though

[@hardrada8407]

In this or the next slate I’m sure. They’re popping up too many times in 3s in tournament lists also.

[@mongocrush7480]

Curious as the data sheet is live how do you feel about 120?

[@lordcommissarthomas1922]

Eh, I find 3 man sentinel squads funnier to do this with, given the fact that you have a 21 wound group of walkers just delete enemy vehicles with lascannons and hunter-killer missiles :) And then you bring them back to do the same all over again!

[@sirdragdord701]

I tried this a lot, but it is so copium. In most cases enemy can just ignore them after they shot they HKM's and kill 1 or 2, but not whole squad. And then you locked to very awkard spot - holding 2 cp every phase, so you can res them, but enemy that ignores them will just charge it with anything and lock it for the rest of the game.

[@ghost9pm407]

​@@sirdragdord701I experienced this as well. Smart players will do the same to infantry and leave 1-2 models but at least you can suicide charge them to force the res. Have you tried Rough Riders? I think people are sleeping on them a bit. Reinforce+Rapid Ingress with them seems solid. Particularly now that you can drop Gaunt's Ghosts in for Fix Bayonets to hit on 2's.

[@dantran3628]

The OC is too low and they can't walk through walls, fun with low terrain though.

[@robertandersen4164]

The most nasty move I've heard of for the Melta Mine is waiting until the start of your opponents move phase. One story I heard of, they detonated the 2d3 mortal wounds on a wounded transport, killing the transport, causing the unit inside to disembark. This pins them in place because when they are forcefully disembarked, they count as having moved.

[@Madlarkin00]

Could always pack straken into their transport then issue orders to 2 units of kasrkin when he gets out.. but hey no leaders with scout right. Yes he cant join them but he has scout and issue 2 orders

[@Drakio95]

They look more elite than Space Marines hahaha. Anyway they are really great, I think it feels properly lore-wise. Btw, what do you have in that left corner with Norn in the back? I see some Tyrant Guards but I can't recognize other things and it kinda bugs me since I'm Nid player.

[@badrabbit9703]

Points update just shelved them. RIP.

[@roboflex3162]

aaaaannnndddd they just got 20 points more expensive

[@mpbros207]

Because first rank fire second rate fire, take aim go brrrrrrrr

[@johnnyohm4579]

what is funny is FLG says you cannot stack the same order twice, so uh any event in North America following FLG FAQs, you can't stack orders.

[@operator9858]

You arent. Ones an order and ones a special ability.

[@johnnyohm4579]

@@operator9858 doesnt matter, cant do it at FLG events so no double move move move for you

[@operator9858]

@@johnnyohm4579 personally i wouldnt have the energy to push the issue anyways but supposedly there is an argument to be had that did let some of the brits use such a thing in some of their tourneys. But ya again it seems like it would be tedious trying to make the argument every time lol

[@johnnyohm4579]

@@operator9858 not really tedious. Does your event follow FLG? Yea? Can’t do it.

[@danwilde4712]

And....then they went up in points ....

[@riconade4431]

Well, unfortunately I think this aged poorly lmao, thanks GW. good video nonetheless!
