      Like I hope it doesn't change, but that after buying 2-3 combat patrols people can branch out into all the cool units drukhari are now missing from their lore.

      Yeah, they definitely could bring new ones in multicomponent plastic kit, even if "old" ones look still very nice. Am I missing other units? never had drukhari codex, not sure if there are other things in lore.

      Na, they need to change the rules. New units would only mean Eldar win with them.
      They need better rules and strategy cards. Why on earth wynches no longer have combat drug is just weird.
      Part of the problem is that this is a shooty edition, meaning only kabal units are good, while homoculus and wynches suffer.
      And the current army rules need all 3 types to get bonuses.
      Hopefully they get a good new codex.

      Just think they need to fix the rules first, or nobody will bother buy the new kits.
      Currently, I would say the the basic strategy is back to 4th edition, dark lance spam from kabalites,
      and a few pain engines to regain pain token.
      Nobody bother use incubes, homculus or wynch units anyway.
      So giving a new beastmast pack would be cool, but useless.

      The plastic stuff they have are fine, their infantry bar Wracks are some of my favourite models. The Failcast stuff does need replacing and then to get people to buy them they could make the rules for them competitive. I do think if they decide to do this it'll be along with the Codex. So no holding of breath...
      A nice fighty Archon would be nice as would a Haemonculus though he irritates me less than the Archon model.

    • @iankirkland8245
      @iankirkland8245 7 місяців тому +4

      Dispute it being a popular opinion I diss agree with suggesting this to new collectors. Combat patrol is a fantastic box as stated, and 2 is fine for a beginner (though I personally would get 1 and then a second once I passed 1000-1300 points). There is too much redundancy and not used models with a third box. In the past 2.5 editions you basically never wanted 3 archons and only good for kit bash base. Currently I would want venoms before I took 3 raiders. And currently you will probably only run 5-10 incubi. I would recommend getting 2 and then a 3rd ravager and kabalites box. And even then only after collecting some of our other good units.

    • @ObsidianCrane
      @ObsidianCrane 7 місяців тому

      @@iankirkland8245 why does what is "currently" good matter? If that's what matters, go buy 6 Talos, 3 Venoms, and 20 Khabalites - good luck getting the rest of the "currently" good models...
      Instead having a cheap deep base that can be expanded in multiple directions even if you don't use all your initial models every time makes a better investment long (and short) term.
      It isn't like you need to run out and buy all that stuff at once either. By a Combat Patrol, play Combat Patrol. Buy the second Combat patrol and a Chronos (convert the Archon with Chronos bits into a Haemonculous), play 1K. Buy the 3rd combat patrol and the Scourges. Play 2k. Welcome a year of hobby. What is "good" in 12 months might be very different to what is "good" now and now you have a strong, relatively cheap, base to build out from and you understand the game much better to make better choices with.

    • @iankirkland8245
      @iankirkland8245 7 місяців тому +1

      It is partially due to some the older individual kits not being marked up super high. Wracks are expensive as are incubi (though most of us got all of them from deal boxes) and pain engines (though they come with so many bits we tend to get our money back from kit bash material).

  • @In_Purple_Clad
    @In_Purple_Clad 7 місяців тому +12

    If there's one kit I'd recommend all newer players get regardless of playstyle and future plans for your army, balance updates, etc - it's the Cronos.
    The Cronos allows you to re-cycle pain tokens - i.e. the thing that lets your units just re-roll all your bad dice rolls. That's huge. 1 unit in your army just existing on the board within 9 inches of another unit, and that unit gets to re-roll all the bad dice away, without spending a pain-token (effectively).
    Imagine having 6 of your units surrounding 1 Cronos, all within 9 inches of it, and all of them having a chance to get full re-rolls without using up a pain token. You do have to roll a 4+ to recycle a token of course, but on average that means you're getting 3 tokens back in that scenario. That's the End goal of this unit.
    #Caveat-time# Do I recommend getting a Cronos immediately and using it in your 1st 500 point game? ... ... ... eih, maybe.. it depends. There's an argument that at 500 points the games are too small to get the best use out of a Cronos. He'll only buff 1 or 2 units in that mode, and the points could be better spent on just getting another killy unit instead. Because the Cronos can only buff, he's not a killer. He's there to buff 3 to 6 killy units.
    So I can see an argument for not using him in 500 point games. So unless you already just really love the Cronos anyway and want to run one 'cos it looks cool, you probably should play your 1st 10 Drukhari games without one. Just so you can get used to the basic mechanics of the army 1st, get a feel for how quickly you burn though pain tokens without one, discover why your 1000 point army will absolutely need one.
    2nd reason to buy a Cronos kit anyway... because you can turn it into a Talos with minimal effort if you need that instead :P
    3rd reason to buy a Cronos kit: you get so many spare parts, little gubbins and bits you can use to kitbash other the Haemonculous Coven troops. Seriously, the amount of stuff you get from that kit is amazing. It's the reason people can take kits from Age of Sigmar and turn them into Grotesques. You can also do what I did and use those spare little arms and appendages to just kit-bash your own Haemonculous out of a spare kabalite warrior as well. Saved me £20 :)

    Drukhari are a great faction to practice your edge highlighting skill. I wouldn’t say they are the easiest faction to paint but they can look amazing for not very much work. A good return on time invested. Also, they are 3 factions in one so you can always switch when you grow bored. I pity the Astra Militarum or SM players
    Their main drawback is the lack of availability of a good chunk of their models. They do not even shop up on GW’s website.

    I don't think it's a good idea to start with a Kabalite Warriors box. Chances are you're going to want the Combat Patrol box and maybe even two or three copies of it, so you're going to end up with a lot of Kabalites anyway, especially if you take the decorative models off the transports and use them as even more Warriors.

For one, GW has been going hard on army refreshes and new army’s the last few editions, and their are not that many left that have not gotten more then a new model or two since 6th or 7th. Plus the way they organize beast pack and court in index hints at box releases with those specific numbers. We will for sure get an expansion to world eaters and votan and probably emperor’s children army. I dought harlequin will get much since getting rolled into craftworld. That leaves what; custodies, genestealer, and drukhari left who have not gotten a big update. Very likely one or two of which will also get love in 10th.
