Goatboy right here and in the present day I wish to speak in regards to the prime issues 40K wants modified as we head in direction of the tip of 2024.
As we stare down a Warhammer 40K tenth Version meta that has been pretty locked down for months, we now have to suppose: the place are the “difficulty armies” proper now? We’d like to consider issues like tweaking some factors, simplified guidelines updates, and simply an total shift to try to even issues out throughout the factions as we shut out 2024.
Standardize Each Surge-like Rule
Proper now have a number of armies that may abuse this Surge rule – aka the flexibility to maneuver after getting shot at and the way they work together with items in the event that they “hit” them. Skinny of items like World Eaters Berzerkers, or the Blood Angels’ Dying Firm Dread. I feel simply making all these interactions work the identical throughout the sport could be useful. The very first thing could be put a restrict on what number of occasions a unit can do it. This manner, once we take care of items which have a ton of wounds/fashions they don’t get an opportunity to do it 2+ occasions and get synced-in. The subsequent change could be ensuring that each kind of surge can “get” into engagement vary, or all of them can not get into fight. We’d like a definite locked-in reply throughout factions with one of these rule, so everyone seems to be on the identical taking part in discipline.
Factors Updates Nonetheless Wanted
Talking of Surge guidelines – there isn’t any approach Accursed Cultists received’t get factors elevated with the most recent huge wins by CSM this previous week. The actual fact we’re seeing them in different lists tells me I can anticipate them to indicate up a number of extra occasions as CSM transfer in direction of the highest of the meta.
Darkish Angels almost certainly will get hit with the Dying Wing Knights going as much as match among the different Terminators on the market. They’re simply very powerful. Plus, when you could have a military that may have powerful issues in addition to ton extra different particular potent guidelines it turns into a problem for the sport. It does suck that the present good Marine military is the Darkish Angels or a Pile of Black Templars.
I get the sensation Sisters of Battle will get shifts too as the present Bringer of Flames construct nonetheless has a ton of fashions on the desk. They appear to be fairly tough on the tabletop and I’m wondering what they are going to get shifted of their factors. It’s a robust codex, so we’ll see what GW does to even issues out for the Sororitas.
Thousand Sons must get tweaked as effectively – particularly since there isn’t a codex coming anytime quickly. There are some things too low-cost within the index, particularly issues just like the Mutalith and different “excessive” injury issues. It actually, turns into a problem if they’ll accomplish that a lot injury.
Oh and I hope Astra Militarum Bullgryns get up to date to lose a few of their “toughness” as they simply have too many guidelines for too low-cost of a value. Fortunately a codex comes out quickly so will see what shifts for them and what comes out too low-cost. Or too costly is the hope.
Some Minis Are Getting Onerous to Discover
Did you see how the Navigator is now a closely sought-after mannequin? Did you see what packing containers it got here in? I feel it simply is available in a Blackstone Fortress boxed set. It appears to be like like it’s a separate package now too and it’s insane to suppose that this 35 greenback mannequin is required to guard the backfield. Why didn’t this get shoved into one of many “battleforce” like packing containers?
Oh have you ever checked out how low-cost Suppressors are points-wise? Have you ever additionally checked out the way you get them from GW? A single boxed set named Vanguard that comes with a ton of different stuff you don’t want? Is it price it to try to get them for a Blood Angels military? Good luck!
I do know there are some others nevertheless it will get arduous to construct the military you need generally. In some methods it helps that I like World Eaters proper now as there isn’t a ton to choose from and whereas I need some new fashions for the military – I hope it isn’t loopy like among the different lists.
I’m fairly positive factors are what’s coming subsequent and there shouldn’t be a Steadiness Dataslate replace until subsequent yr. I hope the factors include the Blood Angels factors we should always see subsequent week. Are you pleased with the meta up to now? I do know I don’t wish to paint three items of Accursed with Darkish Communes.
What issues do you wish to see up to date subsequent in 40K tenth Version?
