    While it'll likely be better once Battle Focus gets reintroduced, lacking an equivalent to Fire and Fade or the Torchstar Gambit makes it dead on arrival (a normal move being very valuable compared to 1d6). Its also missing a lot of damage tricks, which after seeing how loaded the recent Imperial Guard one is, puts it into perspective.
    And I think the best thing for the detachment is the Lynx. Having assault on its bright lance means you can always Advance without losing it, and at 180pts its both versatile firepower and a distraction carnifex. Putting Soulsight or Guiding Presence on one is also decent, though it would have been ideal on something like a Wraithknight.

    I'd say there are 8 detachments in the Codex in addition to this one as how is expressed in the WarCom article. So 5 for main craftwolrlds, plus Ynnari, Harlequins, Vehicles (could be Yme-Loc in terms of CF thematic) and the 8th in the Codex we don't know nothing about could be Corsairs/outcast themed.

    Im putting the harmonizer on a farseer skyrunner on my home obj next to two D cannons, if I get the extra cp, ill give the reroll strat to one d-cannon and guide the other. no Autarch, this detachment is not as cp hungry as the index. Plus Fate dice manipulation... its worth a shot.

    This detachment looks FUN, I'm going to try it. I love Eldar tanks and aspect warriors.
    Dropping them in from deep strike and, hosing down some enemy infantry unit with fire from disembarking aspect warriors, sounds good to me. The secondary scoring options sound good too.

    Cool video as always Brent, I honestly don't want to make any judgement on this detachment until I see the context of the new codex.
    One thing that stood out to me when I first read it though - maybe I'm reading too much into it, but to me the way Soulsight is worded implies that we have vehicle units with multiple models, which at the moment I don't believe we do. Maybe this is an indication that in the codex we will be back to being able to take war walkers and vypers in squads? I'd be curious what you think of that!

    Its tough waiting on the Codex, since it’s hard to tell if it’s just one of the less competitive ones they throw in for funsies or if all the other ones are aiming for this power level. I kind of don’t hate it for one of those, since I could see the redeploy, that cloudstrike, or upping the Ballistic Skill of some war walkers being neat to mess with. Although you’d probably want a “for fun” detachment to have a little more flavor. I could imagine Eldar bringing out a strike force of vehicles, but it still feels kind of mundane. But it definitely seems awkward to have to have the characters need to be close to the vehicles to get benefits. It probably should have some stuff for Jetbikes (even though there’s also going to be a Jetbike detachment) so you’re incentivized to have no infantry (unless maybe they’re getting out of a transport).

    The CP regen enhancement leads me to think that Autarch’s might be losing their guaranteed start of battle round CP gain ability. Why else would it exist? I GW make mistakes but they’re not stupid. And this Detachment is future proofed.
    Also this whole detachment boils down to one thing for me… ignore the pivot rule. You might as well advance, which means if you need to turn your facing you basically just move your normal, plus an inch or two on average.

    I play Nids and Eldar mostly. Comparing the new detachments for both is mind boggling. The nids one buffs the warriors but at the same time gives a lot of strategms to use with other units which makes it very fun to play. This one the only thing u buff other than Vehicles is the lone operative enhancement which is soo lame.

  • @maxmagnus377
    @maxmagnus377 День тому +5

    Would love to hear your thoughts on this. I was very, VERY disappointed with this one. Perhaps this gets a little more interesting with battle focus, and depending on what they're going to do with the battle host, but right now this is *trash.* Pretty inconsequential main rule, strats that are largely downgrades over anything in battle host, enhancements that are arguably 50-100% too expensive, just an overall unmitigated wet fart.

    • @maxmagnus377
      @maxmagnus377 День тому

      Great point around 3:40
      I really dislike that the current detachment model the game has leans so heavily into only buffing a small subset of an army's range. The problem is that either they make those detachments kinda bad, making them a waste of ink and paper in the codex, or too good, meaning that the units that benefit from it need to be costed *just* for that detachment, making them completely non-viable in others. Penitent Host is a great example of the latter. Good datasheets + relatively good detachment = expensive units that you never ever run in any other detachment.

    • @maxmagnus377
      @maxmagnus377 День тому +2

      So, a bit more in-depth into the different aspects of this detachment:
      The main buff: giving every vehicle assault and re-roll advances really only shines in turn 1, and only really really if you get turn 1. Genuinely, if you have 4-6 wave serpents that you fill with corsairs, you could very much jail your opponent for 2-3 turns for a mere 440-550 points. You scout up, drop off the corsairs who post themselves onto all the objectives, advance the Wave Serpents up to your opponent's deployment zone and shoot some Lances/Cannons at appropriate targets while they struggle to clear them for a little while, letting you score a bunch of primary points early. That is nothing to scoff at. I only have one of both though, so not going to be a thing for me.
      Guiding Presence: Too expensive, and superheavies are guaranteed to all get "legendsed" in a few months. Best option after that is to buff a Falcon with it, as it is next in line with the most oompf. 25 points to hit on 2s with a falcon's 7 shots (assuming the general go-to loadout), knowing it's likely not tough enough to live through whatever will be pointed its way the turn after... is at least 5, maybe even 10 points too expensive.
      Harmonisation Matrix: Autarchs do this better for the low cost of... 0 points over having an Autarch. Pointless. Maybe for 10 points I could be convinced to maaayyybe leave the Autarch at home for a game or 2.
      Spirit Stone of Raelyth: Aeldari vehicles tend to not have the toughness to stand up to concentrated firepower anyway, so unless you'd cluster every vehicle you have around a Farseer with this Enhancement, the likely outcome of spending these 20 points would be that your opponent focuses down the tank that's being escorted by this character, killing it first, the character second. I want something like this in the Iyanden Detachment. Lone Op, +1 to hit aura and heal D3 lost wounds is an ability I want on my Farseers in an Iyanden list, to make Wraithlords suck less. Here I really don't see the point.
      Guileful Strategist: This is the only Enhancement I like, really. Baiting out your opponents deployment is quite strong. Picking up some Falcons after deploying to deep strike in later can be pretty strong.
      Layered Wards: Somewhat useful pocket strat. Some armies really lean into spamming mortal wounds now, and keeping a big vehicle alive can be situationally good.
      Swift Deployment: Not terrible. I can see myself advancing up a transport and unloading some infantry to either get a bead on something I want dead, or to do some action-based secondary. Another pocket strat though.
      Vecored Engines: Pocket strat, again, and just worse than the Battle Host equivalent in every single way. 1CP to fall back & shoot a vehicle with fly, or 1CP to fall back, shoot and charge with anything... No clue what they were thinking with this one. Stinker.
      Cloudstrike: Would have been great in the 3" Deep Strike era, which this likely would have been written as. The lack of option to charge after disembarking, and the fact that the number one pick for infantry in Falcons (Fire Dragons) won't be in max efficiency range really hurts. I can see this being okay on a Vyper to get Behind/Engage/Locus, but otherwise... Our vehicles are huge man xD Even at 6" you'll struggle to put anything down anywhere reasonable if your opponent knows how to screen out deep strikes. The fact that you may be playing against a horde army that zones you out, or you don't draw a secondary that this helps with makes it... ANOTHER pocket strat!
      Soulsight: Battle Host gives you 2/3 of this for free. On everything. All the time... Needs to be used before rolling a dice... which makes it a potential CP waste. Would have been the ONE strat that isn't a pocket strat you use when it may come in handy, but as is... I mean, yeah you'll use it, not like we have any other strats you're constantly spending any CP on in this Detachment... *shrug*
      Anti-Grav Repulsion: And to round it off... a pocket strat. Not a bad one, but not going to come up a whole lot.
      Couple funny last thoughts:
      Run a bunch of Wave Serpents with Corsairs to give them scout. Then run 3 squads of Rangers to ensure your scouting War Walkers/Corsair-stuffed Wave Serpents can actually scout move efficiently, makes it so Wave Serpent jail could genuinely work!
      Put Guileful Strategist on an Autarch Skyrunner and stick him in reserves. Free CP and Redeploy without even touching the table till later in the game for a grand total of 105 points is actually very very good.
