Shame we didnt get any other detachment buffs. Skorpeks would have been nice to get battle line in annihilation legion.

[autakis]

Honestly ok with the stratagem change and the points changes. Will miss my C'tan Precision nukes but can still move them about so I will live. I am, however, a bit gutted by the loss of all Forge World models bar the Seraptek.

All other changes seem good to me. Will see after I play my first Pariah Nexus match next week if i still feel that way afterwards. 😅

The change to the overhanging rules means the Tesseract Vault can actually be deployed, it can almost certainly move up the sides, even without player placed terrain. And it's a round base... so it can pirouette around buildings. It's a T12, so some tank shock. And it's plastic, so it shouldn't be going anywhere. You can probably still screen between terrain. And Phasal subjugator on a technomancer in Awakened would give it the +1 to hit plus a baby sitter to heal it. I think I'm going for it.

[Chris-B-Chicken]

we had the +1CP ability on a now legend Vargard Obyron :) it was on the index atleast. ahhhh those old nice characters... <3 gr8 video! <3

Worst investment, I just bought 2 tomb stalker and 9 arkanthrite.

C'mon gw

Big Necron update that was hard to find: Our shooting reroll abilities (lokhust destroyers, Protocol of the conquering tyrant) require half range again because you must meet both criteria to reroll all hits per the core rules commentary, pg 27 I think.

Things I do like about this update:
My Will Be Done got a "side-grade", but a good one. Awakened Dynasty can get free strat reanimation once again, or reduce the cost of Vengful Stars which I've never used.
Doomsday Arks now turn for free. Probably will be FAQed but kinda funny. Even if it is, bigger models are now much easier to move.

I can stop taking wraiths and start taking all my C'tan for cheaper!

[Mikester]

All these updates, erratas and FAQs really shows that you should not buy any physical rules assets from GW anymore. The cards being changed even before they are available for purchase, codexes being changed before they even release. If you buy stuff for the rules or to game with there seem to be no reason, only buy codexes for the art and lore nowadays, and a lot of that lore is copy and pasted from earlier editions. Quite a shame

[PandorableMae]

I’m pissed at the unceremonious dropping of all the Forgeworld units without warning or reason.
I’d just gotten my hands on a couple units of Acanthrites to make it even more annoying!!

[veryblocky]

Ghosts Arks and DDAs getting free pivots due to their round base is almost certainly an oversight, and I’d expect it to be fixed

[timothylyons]

All these updates, erratas and FAQs really shows that you should stop playing Warhammer 40K using the latest rules unless you play tournaments.
If you want a fun game then just use your own rules

[philm.]

GW - the only company that wants their customer base to hate them

[dandeschambault]

So can My Will Be Done be used with a Strategem that was already used or not? It does state in the example that "the part of this ability that would have let you use the same Strategem more than once in the same phase cannot be used at all". Seems to contradict the wording of My will Be Done and other similar abilities

[commandermcnash]

What the hell GW, our Forgeworld units shouldn't have been moved to Legends, all of them could bring something interesting to the table and didn't suffer of redundancy.

[BrianSmith-ekhe]

The loss of forge world is a little sad. So many of our canoptek units are forge world, this is a big hot to the canoptek court. The overlord takes a pretty big hit, my will be done can no longer let us ise a stratagem twice in a phase, with no points reduction...

33 pages of errata/comentary... can we all jist agree this is 11th edition now?😅

[justinfrick]

Not directly related to the updates but I just realized and want to get this out: the Death Guard soulrot contagion reduces a units OC by 1, meaning they can shutdown the opponents ability to do actions. Combine that with sticky objectives and this could be huge.

[newvegasify]

GW pissing us all of by not giving TSK the Overlord and Triarch keywords.

[theprojectside]

I reckon the Cosmic Precision nerf was in response to Night Scythes getting Deep Strike tbh, there’s probably some janky loophole to let troops get close without much risk but I don’t use transports enough to really say for sure.

[DaneInTheUS]

Cp costs reduction are for all strategems yes. And you played the old rule wrong - set to 0 came before increasing costs. Doesn't matter anymore anyways lol ... but my poor poor Tomb Sentinels 😭

[jbw]

So pissed off. Just made a bloody Tomb Stalker using wraiths and now I can’t use the damn thing!

[anthonysees]

I just spent a not so small amount of money acquiting tomb stalkers, sentinels, ans acanthrites. Super pissed.
