      Not necessarily a weakness because if it attracts bad players to it then the win rates will drop potentially helping avoid the nerf bat. However good players will still be able to extract the best from it. On the other hand. If only a good players are playing an army it may get nerf due to the ability of the players and not the army itself.

    Imperial knights have 3 big weaknesses. 1) terrain, generally never getting cover is a problem when you only have a 3+ save. 2) model count and actions, not having even 1 model in the fight is a lot of points that is potentially not helping you win the game. 3) close combat, the invun doesnt work in close combat and while they can hit hard, they still fold under dedicated heavy melee units .

    • @luketfer
      @luketfer 5 місяців тому +1

      Old One Eye and Mozrog for Orks are basically the "if you have them, you win" against Knights units, same with Chaos Daemon Monster Mash. I've seen Mozrog chew through two greater Daemons on his own, 4+ Invuln and 4+ FNP makes him incredibly tanky for his points cost and his only vulnerability is screening him out of your big stuff with infantry...which Knights don't get.

  • @Darkja
    @Darkja 5 місяців тому +8

    Overall, big knights just dont feel durable enough for their points, no invulvs in melee and a overall save of 3+ really hurts them, so the worst part/weakness of the army is facing melee armies and/or with 4+ invs, since makes them overkill/or not perform well enough. This is the reason Custodes just flat out murders knights in general.
    - Chaos Knights: Army rules are trash, and most likely will stay even if new detachments are added, they encapsulate the worst parts of every other army rule into a single one. Limited range, limited activations, limited by turns, limited by condition of the enemy unit, and if all planets align... its still a coinflip.
    Big knights are still underpowered/Overcosted, and in many cases (like Rampager/Lancer) they feel this way BECAUSE the army rules are so bad. Others are plain overcosted still, and others are just awful (Abominant)
    - Imperial Knights are almost there, but they truly feel designed around having big knights benefit from their bondsman too, so they feel like they are missing something and it will remain that way until they get back bondsman on big ones.
    - Tyranids: many overcosted units, weak strength in most units, not enough AP. Weakest link on their army is Biovores/Ripper Swarms, and Neurolictors. Deal with those and they wont be able to score, nor deal damage consistently.
    - Necrons: rely too much in C'tan because most of their units are simply not durable enough after the nerfs (warriors, Lychguard, cryptothralls, reanimator, resurrection orb, etc) left most units super weak, once C'tan are nerfed (and possibly Wraiths too, heck, maybe even Immortals) they will have no staying power at all unless they get Warriors (at the very least) buffed again. Weakest part of their army, everything else that its not C'tan is not very durable, focus those down and limit their scoring. Ignore modifiers eats C'tans.

      @RvBnerd618 5 місяців тому +4

      Yeah, I would love to include things like a Forgefiend or a Helbrute, but if you want to play with what makes Thousand Sons unique, you need to bring stuff that generates Cabal. Honestly, a good change would be to have each unit have some way to help give you Cabal Points if you meet the requirements like the Helbrute, tho that unit is very pricy for how he helps you gain more points to cast your spells.
      Maybe in another datasheet they could give different ways for you to generate them so that we could experiment with more of our units.

It also helped that the icon of flame would add a cabal point instead of spike AP but that’s another issue.

    Guard have exceptionally good melee. Bullgryn as you mentioned, Rough Riders, Straken-Nork Blob combo, Solar-Ogryn as a diluted version of the Strak Nork too. These units can all move 9" due to an order, or get +1 to hit in melee. RRs keep coming back too. At an RTT this weekend I played into Custodes twice and WE once with a melee guard list. Lost narrowly in the first game against the tournament winners Custodes (primarily due to supply drop mission and running out of time), beat WE by a good margin and had a 100-38 win in the final game against Custodes. Guard can absolutely hold their own in melee against the very best melee factions and very often prevail.

      That's most armies at one point or another this edition fam. Even the Daemons discord in AoW was "our rule sucks, Belakor tax" because infiltrators or similar units literally delete the rule. Sisters are t3 1w with a damage taken buff, carried by mcwerp and other good players until everyone hopped on after CSM nerfs. Gnomsayin

    • @wyatttyson7737

      @@rellikskuppin7417Thats not even true, though. Infiltrators make the Daemon's rule easier to counter, but if it is that difficult for you to deal with just slap some Blue Horrors and Nurglings into your list and Infiltrate them first.
      On top of this, while its not the most helpful thing, at least 1/3rd of the Rule is *always active* even if you royally mess up. There is no way to turn off the Shadow of Chaos in your own deployment zone short of winning the entire game. Sure, its your deployment zone and isn't the most helpful thing, but it can help protect your rear objective against Artillery and make Behind Enemy lines much harder to achieve.
      Sisters are T3 1W, yes, but they are 10 points with Power Armor and BS3+. To put that into perspective, Guard Kasrkin are the same price with a Carapace. Yes, there are other factors on both sides at play, but if you water down the argument that far Sisters are better than Kasrkin because they are more durable with a 3+sv rather than a 4+.
      Even beyond what I shall charitably assume is ignorance on the subject of specific factions, I once again state that Guard has *ALWAYS* been pretty much exactly where we are for the entire edition. There was 1 week were a couple of guys got luck and bumped us up to 51%, but then we went straight back down to 42% after that. Even Admech had a good few week high, but we didn't.

    As a blood angels player I really think we need a way to generate extra cp, and an advance and charge strategem that can only be used once per turn.
    If we had those two things, we'd be top in the meta. Extra cp would be mostly used for armor of contempt while the rest for fallback and charge, and red rampage, sometimes the 6" consolidate.

    The hydra is underpowered? no. You just haven't seen one in-game, or maybe you haven't seen one shooting one of the innumerable units that happen to have the keyword of fly, against which, you get... rerolls to hit, rerolls to wound, wound on a 2+ and do damage 3. It will ABSOLUTELY shrek anything that flys regardless of toughness. Including things like flying Hive tyrants, Mortarion, and Tau battlesuits.
    I get that most people think FLY means flyers like planes but it actually means the keyword Fly. At last check nearly every army has a core unit they take that has this, or can get this keyword. The hydra is a staple for anyone who knows how what it is & does. For both it's cost and ability to ruin the enemy's day. It is not Underpowered, it's actually perfectly balanced as is. For the love of all that is holy, it does NOT need a boost or a nerf.

    As a custodes player i have no idea how custodes are at 56% lol and I'm scared they are going to get gutted. They went from the worst win rate 40% to as low as 39% and are some how 56%? After the dataslate. I believe it's all because of Guard and warden Spam. So I think if you tone those down bam problem solved AGAIN instead of reroll all wounds for guard just keep it as reroll 1s to Wound.. and maybe give guards 5pts nerf.. point is I'm scared they are going to unnecessarily nerf everything, when alot of units need buffs or reworks and they wont get them. (Bikes, Dreads especially the Achilles/telemon, aquilons, sag. ECT.) The problem is Guards/wardens with characters 100% nothing else at least that's what I believe from my few games I've played. My list focuses on Allarus and I spam axes which suck but look cool.. lol

  • @chrisbeau76
    @chrisbeau76 5 місяців тому

    I'm very interested to see what the 8 Chaos Marine Detachments do when they revealed how many would be within the Chaos Marine Codex? I've been interested in the Chaos Marine Index abilities and aesthetics for either Black Legion or a Daemonkin Army with units of Possessed, Cultists, Masters of Possessed, the Dark Commune as a unit that counts as a leader, Chosen, Daemon Engines, etc..painting them as Word Bearers.
    GW needs to do something for Codex Compliant Marine Chapters since Epic Heroes in this edition determine how strong a chapter is. For example White Scars and Ravenguard basically get nothing except maybe 1 good Epic hero. I feel like GW could give the Chapter examples I just mentioned a 1-2 minor trait bonuses when they take the detachment that was basically built around their specific playstyle (Stormlance and the Vanguard Phobos detachment)
    I got double screwed this edition because I play Necrons and have been collecting Dark Angels since I bought the Indomitus Box and kept both halves.
    GW made Necrons way too strong at the very starts of the edition and I had a feeling Reanimators having a 12" aura waa way over the top. I firmly believe the Reanimator would currently have a 6" aura if they started 20th edition with a 6" aura, but 12"created such a bad play experience they cut his aura down to 3", which I assume puts him back on the shelf.
    Awakened Dynasty is still excellent and is the only detachment that has access to some of the best reactive reanimation tech, especially Protocol of the Undying Legion which allows you to reactively target a unit in your Shooting and Fight phase if that unit just had a model destroyed, plus it gets to use the enhanced version if the unit contains a Leader which changes the standard D3 each unit gets at the end of your Command Phase to a Reanimation wounds using a D3+1.
    Warriors are another example that kept on receiving several but minor rules changes that eventually forced players to take Immortals instead. They also seem to benefit more from the detachment rule that grant units with Leaders with a +1 to hit on all attacks.
    Many unit types that should be more effective in a detachment that was supposed to reflect their playstyle, actually do betterin Awakened Dynasty such as Skorpekh Destroyers with a Lord, which gives unit a permanent +1 to hit on top of their own datasheet rules, plus the Protcol of te Hungry Void giving a unit of 6 Skorpekhs with a Destroyer Lord access to a simultaneous +1 to Hit, +1 Str and a bonus -1 ap. You can always give the Destroyer Lord one of the enhancements such as the one that grants the bearers unit with Stealth for the entire Game. I'm still frustrated the 2 Skorpek models wielding the larger two handed Hyper Phase Blade doesn't have its own weapom Characteristics as they were in 9th (slightly higher Str, 1 less attack, -1 AP and a damage characteristic of 3 which you could only have a total of 2vin a max unit of 6.
    Regarding C'Tan, GW created another mistake by not carrying over a 9th edition rule that restricted Necron players to taking only 1 per detachmen. points wise they were nearly the same as they are now except the Nightbringer cost more than 155.v
    The Necron and Dark Angel faction books are going to drive me mad if they make any more nerfs when the edition still has several factions still using thier index detachment which places many of them in a position where they will alway have lower win rates until they receive thier new Codex ( 8 Detachments in the upcoming Chaos Marine Codex )
    I'm hoping the Chaos Daemons Coex contains s5 detachments, 1 for Chaos Undivided and then 1 for each chaos God so a player caan play a pure Khorne Blood Letter list.
    Im also very frustrated with the Dark Angels Supplement. They messed up the keywords, especially for non-epic heroe Captains, Chaplins and Librarians character datasheets.
    For example, all of the Dark Angel Ravenwing datasheets in the actual supplement all have free 5++. You can taake certain units from the Space Marine book such as Outriders and they automatically become Ravenwing because the DA Supplementd , however since GW hasn't presented any special rules or benefits for having the Ravenwing(All that is required is a unit has sthe mounted keyword or any Vehices that can Flyvsuch as the new Storm Speeders), These datasheets are missing the 5++ and its hard to say if this was intentional or not.

      I do agree that the havoc is really good, but compare it the predator where you trade 2 las cannons for an auto cannon or a twin linked lascannon and you get a unit that has a lot more staying power and mobility at 5 points less I find myself gravitating towards them more, especially cause you're losing a lascannon or 2 when you get shot at anyways with the havocs. They are easier to hide tho, but that 5 inch move hurts

    The problem with Sacrasants is that they are considerably more expensive than a normal battleline sister (13 pts vs. 10) and are no more difficult to chip away at with simple bolter fire unless they are joined by either a cannoness, palatine or imagifier. You really want to put a cannoness with that unit to allow them to re-roll hits as well as -1 to wound, but you also want the imagifier to increase their save to 2+ halving the failure rate of saving against AP0. Unlike a BSS however, you can't have both. If Sacrasants could have both characters join them, I don't think they'd need any other changes to be a powerful option.

    When it comes to disposing of any army quickly, never underestimate the humble heavy bolter (or rough equivalent). Those are workhorse weapons.
    While it won't dispatch a titan, the volume of fire, decent strength stat with AP1 and D2 plus having Sustained Hits 1 (roughly equivalent to +1 to hit) means it lands huge numbers of hits and thanks to that D2 will take out even marines faster than a high S, high AP, multi (often wasted) wound single-shot weapon. Additionally should you find yourself staring down 100+ boyz, gaunts or whatever the humble heavy bolter packs a high enough rate of fire to make a dent.
    Never underestimate the humble heavy bolter.

    As a necron player, been playing since index of 8th, I am slightly worried with how heavy handed GW will be with the nerfs to the necrons. So many competitive lists are running 2 to 4 ctan. 4 being more common in hypercrypt because you can get around the ctan's weakest of 6" movement. I really think GW needs to nerf the c'tan heavily but look more at the data sheets for necrons and make the internal balancing better. If canoptekh wraiths get nerfed pretty hard canoptekh court becomes pretty useless. Hypercrypt is as powerful as it is because teleport 4 ctan and they can be in your face turn 2. I hope ctan get nerfed heavily I don't like seeing people playing "necrons" but just trying to be ash ketchum. This is just my opinion ctan need to be nerfed; they are carrying necrons atm.
