I like the added randomness, but this can also mean more feelsbad. Normally we play with some degree of transparency, but secrets will by nature keep you from being 'yourself' if you know what I mean? Youre behind on primary, you observe the board state, then pick a secret mission and from then on, your behavior changes so you dont give away what youre working towards. Then you strike and say 'bam' I achieved this on the last turn and your opponents like...fs! Comp play, youd study what the secrets are and try to work out what is being done, but friendly your guards down and the 20pt swing can be huge.
the new Secret mission i think me and my friends are gonna homebrew. instead of getting the 10pts from having your army painted, chose the secret mission from the start and be able to get the 20pts on top of all the primary points. yes you would get more Pts, but seems fun :D
So in your homebrew version, you'd get up to 110 points if you choose a secret mission, and up to 100 if you don't (assuming painted armies)? So for a painted army you get the choice to give up 10 guaranteed points to try to gain 20. Interesting idea. I'll stick to the official rules, but yeah, that setup could be fun
My thoughts for secrets. 1. If getting secrets by being the lowest primary scorer becomes important leave a squad of raveners on a objective. Because you can take them up at the end of your opponents turn you can always decide before the start of yours if you like to have them score or not. e.g. your opponent went first and is on 20 and if they score you get 20 and if they were to pop up you get 15 or if you went first and you can see what your opponent will score on the start of their turn you can either manipulate it that way too. 2. Using invisible hunter you can put away a squad of gargoyles and a winged hive tyrant which can then can make getting command insertion or war of attrition very easy. 3. The reliance on battleline makes tyranids anti infantry alot more useful and units like hormagants alot more useful.
Anyone else get the feeling this is like SBMM being implemented in a tabletop game? It seems like GW is trying to level out the gameplay experience so much recently, and the game is starting to feel more like chess with extra step to me.
The new missions look like they will be a lot of fun, not been enjoying Leviathan as much as I would like. I do hope that means that we get Warriors and Genestealers as battleline units though, would be a nice little buff for them. Making our sporemines and rippers not be able to do actions would really contribute to them being able to properly rebalance our faction - just worry they will take that away and then wait months before they give us a balance pass to make us competitive again.

@@danielhughes3758 both players draw a random Secret mission.
no points for painted army.
so both players can get up to 110 pts.
Sounds like a fun addition!

I hope spore mines get nerfed, so biovores could be pointed as an actual ranged unit.
Command Insertion calls for an Autarch or similar Warlord

I just hope How to play become digestible and condensed!
I play Crusher Stampede so no, needing more battle line units is not ideal 😂
Unlessss, they drop Carnifex’s to 100 points and make them battle line in crusher 🤔
@@jamesgillam6478they won’t make crusher good due to 8 edition sins.
@@AngryPomeranian I think you’re probably right haha they’re afraid of a repeat 😂
Heard battle line units are actually going to be important.
Some secondary missions
Or primary missions
Will give little 1 to 2 point boosts for when done by battleline i think
not sure if I'm the only one but the mouth audio de-sync is fairly distracting
Looks ok to me on my phone's audio? I know i always get a bit of de-sync using Bluetooth headphones - they are notorious for introducing some lag
Usually this is a glitch with UA-cam. Reopen the app or reload the browser
Nice
2nd View!
