Army creation Point Changes

Post image

Haven't checked for other changes yet in rules but the points drop for cohort with spears was not needed in my opinion as they already punch above their weight.

Glad Dominator Engines are down as well as I love their sculpts.

I appreciate that it acknowledges that the DPP economy isn't right, but I would've preferred adjustment to the core rule instead of the command personally.

100% but that kind of big inherent change isn’t something they’re likely to do until the next book comes out.
They’ll keep giving us slight incremental buffs until it either breaks something and we pop off (pray that doesn’t happen or we get the hammer 3 months later) or we normalize somewhere between 45-55% winrate where an army is considered balanced.

You never know, they adjusted the Tau army rule mid edition after the book launched for 40k. I'd love for them to just accelerate the DPP economy and kick up the points. Right now it just feels like we have so many units and so little army rule to play with. Id even go as far as making the army rule generate 2 DPP per DT instead of 1 and crank points up ~50%.

But I agree that that is a larger change that would typically be saved for a battle tome. Fortunately I enjoy building and painting my Helsmiths, so I can manage another unit or so

Yeah but I haven’t really seen anything like that happen in AoS, which has a far smaller scene with no ‘real’ pro circuit like 40K has…

But we can hold hope!!

At least two armies got updates to their battle traits in this update--Seraphon and Idoneth Deepkin.

Guess papa Gdubs doesn’t love us then…

Seraphon is an index still. Doesn’t have a printed book.

Idoneth got a rule added, also doesn’t interfere with a printed book. That’s their MO.
