CORRECTIONS (sorry for a few misses, it was quite big update so seems a few things slipped though!)
- Swooping Hawks went to 80, not 85 as I said. Storm Guardians were initially 115 so dropping 100 is quite a big boost there.
- Valerian Dropped by 5pts, Custodes Contemptor by 15pts, 10-squads of vigilators and witchseekers are now 125pts (from 130)
- Chaos Marine Maulerfiend 140 from 155
- Havocs down 15pts to 120, Chaos Marine Helbrute to 130pts

Someone at GW once got stomped by AdMech in 9th and he's still not over it.

[cooljoe]

if GW doesnt want Astra players to use Artillery, then why give us a detachment that ONLY works with artillery?

[ShadowCoH]

*"Reivers Got Nothing."*

A tale as sold as time.

[bitbonsai]

46% winrate imperial guard needed to be nerfed....sure

[Ralinor]

GW trying to push Admech lists to 3000$ for 2000pts. I wonder if we can get them to half a point per dollar.

[centermassgamer]

Just sat down to shit, perfect timing.

[darko-man]

GW: “So we’re not saying that we were wrong to make all units the same cost regardless weapons loadout.”
“What are you doing with Black Templar Rhinos?”
“Oh we’re giving them an optional extra points for special weapons.”
“So it was wrong to not include points totals regardless of weapons”
“No! We’re just doing this differently for personal reasons”


I hate power level

[thomasdye]

My biggest fear with AdMech is all this extra model buying from the points, fallowed by buffing units, points will go back up, having to shelf expensive units that you got originally for a horde army. (Though I would prefer not to be one)

[TacDonut]

Admech is just gonna keep getting worse isn’t it. STOP DECREASING POINTS!!! Its gonna cost more than a car to have 2k of admech

[ryanearley]

Deathwatch not only received no changes to their dedicated units but were not even mentioned in the article’s list of factions that received no changes.

[EdBurke]

Hearing them say they're working on the AdMech while refusing to do anything about it because of an artificial release structure that they've already shown they're willing to deviate from must be infuriating for the cog boys.

[gyro]

idk what GW is thinking with admech, it's fucked. Nothing short of a complete rule and points rework will fix it.

[skeletor]

95 point psychophage is huge, i'm looking forward to deploying the big ol' fart bug without breaking the bank

[thisguyducky]

Did a manticore specifically bully one of balancers? Every balance pass it gets a nerf, like there are far more broken and good things that do not see that much attention.

[TheCommunistColin]

My CSM are gonna eat good with 175pt Vindicators. That's a bonkers good point cost for such terrifying shooting.

[MaLLahoFF]

The Stompa still being 800 points is a crime.

[NornQueenKya]

Konrad curze: death is nothing compared to Vindicator Tank spam

[Xander]

I joined this hobby with Deathwatch late last year. It really is frustrating to see no changes all edition. Even if they are no longer going to receive full faciton support whats the harm in balance passing the index in the meantime?

[rowanash]

Why in all that is holy did they increase the Manticore points *AGAIN*?
