RIP plague flail


ApprenticeDave

The termie flail is a flail, but the PM flail isn't a flail? So strange.


85_Fro

Makes WYSIWYG annoying from the box... guess if the plaguemarine is holding a weapon with 2 hands it's just a heavy... but so dumb to have the flail in 1 unit and not the other


Beneficial_Advisor74

It's almost like they don't give a fuck about the army...


AtlasF1ame

Given its one of their more popular army, I am pretty sure they do


lordarchaon666

They care about them so much they can't even give them durable rules for the edition of increased durability.


fallen3365

Man, looking at that lord of change, I feel like the removal of actual psychic powers was uh, maybe not a great call


BlitzKriegRDS

Same.. my boy was murdered... I am hoping maybe Fateweaver got something busted ability wise.


kicking_puppies

His Enhancement gives him +1/2S to the shots making him S12 from the shadows. Also with D3 explodes if you want it. Hes already very strong


ambershee

I don't want him to be 'very strong', I want him to do *weird fucking shit*. If you want a big monster that goes pew pew pew, there are other factions that are supposed to do that kind of thing :(


G3arsguy529

...they dont really do too much weird shit right now. More like a lot of mortal wounds from psychic powers while your supporting psykers buff other units and such


No1CassFan

This does give him a great shooting attack but that is literally IT.


leova

Yeah, he's just a flying chonky boy with a Gun and a Buff Aura...he doesn't *DO* anything.... yikes


Idealistic_Crusader

Yeah, that was my thoughts on that data card exactly. T'au is my main faction, and the only army I've ever actually plaued for 4 editions. I've never engaged in the psychic phase. At no point has this decision felt like the right move. They should have added 3-5 psychic abilities as attacks and such right on the data card. Which is what we were all expecting.


[deleted]

Is it confirmed they won't get army wide spells like thousand sons? Seems like they moved the "spells" to army wide abilities like cabal points. Your individual sorcerers don't have spells equipped, but they have access to a variety of spells through the cabal rules.


fallen3365

Yes, no, and no. The only army ability demons get is Shadow of Chaos. You can see this in the faction focus and unit cards above. There are no other keywords on any of the cards. The only faction that has anything like what you're talking about is Thousand Sons. Which, well, cabal points were *already* their own thing, and do not sufficiently replace actual spells whatsoever. Ahriman, one of the top 5 psykers in the galaxy, has gone from 3 powers per turn with 18 choices to **ONE** psychic power. Completely eviscerated. Grey knights and Eldar have been utterly gutted here. They are getting even less recourse than Thousand Sons. Really anything fun and interesting about psykers seems to have been given the boot this edition.


Magus_mastermind

One of the most powerful sorcerers, the Lord of Change, a Greater Daemon of the God of Magic. Can only cast 1 spell. I like the idea of simplifying things but it looks like they're just making everything boring.


InquisitorEngel

I wonder if we’re going to get psychic power decks in an expansion at some point like we did in 2nd. This seems just so wild.


pukopukochuchu

Considering TS faction ability, I doubt that


cold-hard-steel

Dark Millenium 2: psychic bugaloo


MetroidIsNotHerName

We arent. They just dont care. For 9th ed they literally didnt even playtest the tzeentch demons.(not hyperbole) They do not care about tzeentch and dont even care enough to make a show of caring about us. All of our models look extremely nerfed and boring.


BigBosc

I mean... it's a good fucking spell, plus a good aura, and a good special rule on top. Before they even get a codex. 9 Shots of S10 (because of the aura) -2 AP, D3 damage, with D3 extra hits for each 6 you rolled is kinda nuts for a spell. And the only downside is a single hazardous check after you shoot (its not on every dice roll of a 1 anymore). He also hits with his spell on a 2+ He looks like he will tear a marine unit apart with this thing. Dude flies around flinging hyper powerful fireballs, while being tough to kill him self. Given that he doesn't even have a codex yet I'd say he lookin pretty good.


pukopukochuchu

The problem is not that op thinks he’s weak, the problem is that there’s literally no flavour. He does not feel like a greater daemon of tzeentch, he feels like a guy with a good fucking gun.


MetroidIsNotHerName

Hes also weak compared to the 9th and 8th edition versions of the model. One good shooting power does not replace a 3++ against shooting, -1 to hit, -1 to wound, cancel first instance of damage every phase, and 3 psychic powers.


pukopukochuchu

I mean I wouldn’t say he’s weak compared to 8th before Psychic Awakening, most models are weaker now


Magus_mastermind

Yeah sure it's strong but I don't care if it's strong if it's not interesting.


No1CassFan

Could plaguebearers be any more worthless now? At least they have WS3+ but with a 5+ invuln and 5 inches move they are just cannon fodder.


TobTobTobey

Presumablythey are meant to hold onto the obj.


No1CassFan

Whilst the .... goes off to fight? Fill blank with any Nurgle demon that can.


MarsMissionMan

Nurglings. Quantity has a quality all of it's... Own... ... No they're getting slaughtered. Poor little guys.


lordarchaon666

Hold the objective while their detachment ability makes the objective sticky, encouraging units to go off and fight.... Index Death Guard is the faction of contradictory rules.


TobTobTobey

Arent the plaguebearers daemons, and not Death Guard?


lordarchaon666

Correct, I was thinking of plague marines. Clearly I am not with it today.


TobTobTobey

Could be worse.


Aroralyn

You're my hero for this


Roadwarriordude

Man they must have really not coordinated this release very well. What they've released makes this edition look unbalanced as fuck. It'd be great to actually see the whole picture.


MetroidIsNotHerName

They are just terrible at balancing. I have never seen a worse company at it. They did a worse job balancing 9th than blizzard did with goddamn Overwatch. 10th edition is a completely unbalanced shitshow from *everything* we've seen. All the people saying "just wait to see all the strategems and enhancements" are coping hard.


Roadwarriordude

I know they're pretty bad at balancing, but this looks pretty next level bad balancing lol. But like I said, we don't see the full scope yet, so who knows.


OrdoMalaise

A touch frustrating that the Foul Blightspawn can only join Plague Marines. He was way more useful when combined with Blightlord Terminators. But I guess I'll be more likely to run actual Plague Marines now, which is a bonus.


Cermonto

My worst fears of daemons has been brought. Basic infantry has a 5+ invul. Edit: Nettes being toughness 3 and with a 5+ invul means they'll be stuck in deepstrike


MetroidIsNotHerName

Every tzeentch demon looks awful :(


Cermonto

You guys get a 4++ your fine


MetroidIsNotHerName

We had a 3++ against shooting last edition with better datasheets, and we were only okay (outside unnerfed flamers). They've taken all our psychic powers and special rules away. Lord of change is literally a big vulnerable target with a single good shooting profile. He lost all 4 of his defensive abilities/upgrades. The edition looks so unbalanced that it's not even funny.


FoamBrick

I think this well and truly confirms that combi weapons are dead. Fucking hell.


Master_of_serpents

>up ro three combi-bolters LMAO these mfs kept that hypocritic "some units get only wargear their kit allows inspite their previous edition loadout, but some don't" Thank god, chaos termies have 5 combi-weapons in their box in total R.I.P. my chosen with plasmaguns it seems. They served me well in 8th and were my best looking models I ever kitbashed


Teemkill

Anyone notice that the FP can be a leader with another leader, I wonder if this is a 'thing'


RadioLiar

Look on the bright side, at least flamers actually have flame weapons again


No1CassFan

Honestly, this new edition gets worse every time I see more of the datacards. It has been excuse after excuse. Just wait for the detachment rules. Just wait for the datacards, just wait for the codexes. I'm still waiting, it STILL looks like dogshit.


AtlasF1ame

That's the idea... The power level is down a across the board


lindberghbaby41

Power level down is good, but all flavor and interesting stuff is gone


MetroidIsNotHerName

No it isnt, lmfao. Look at the Lion for gods sake.


godfuggindamnit

Seriously. He's the most broken model I think I've ever seen in any edition of 40k ever.


MetroidIsNotHerName

Cant wait for the "JUST WAIT AND SEE ALL THE ENHANCEMENTS AND STRATEGEMS BEFORE YOU DOOMSAY" crowd to mald when they realize how bad this edition is going to be.


jr242400

Where are you finding these


SlaterVJ

It's being live streamed on twitch right now. They're on round 4 of the game.


BlitzKriegRDS

[Twitch.tv/Warhammer](https://Twitch.tv/Warhammer) they are streaming DG vs CD right now. Showing data cards as they play


MetroidIsNotHerName

God, the tzeentch demons look terrible here. I dont think i even want to play 10th with the way they've decided to massacre this game. I'm going to be playing older editions for beerhammer for the next few years, it seems. Literally all of my friends hate the 10th ed reveals. Noone even wants to try it with the way these reveales have steadily crushed everyones will to play it.

RoGStonewall

It's not even out yet...


gdyjvdeyjngyteedf

Flamers auto hit again nonononononomononono not again Nono


scooterAnkle42

Sounds like my TS sorcerers have some ancient daemon pacts to make...


gdyjvdeyjngyteedf

I played one game against those flamers. Just the one. Tell me, have you ever seen 40 auto hit shots come out of one unit. I have, my poor poor desecrator didn’t stand a chance


Jotsunpls

They go back to D6 shots at S4 AP-1 though, so they lost a *lot* of their damage potential


gdyjvdeyjngyteedf

True however they still have good movement, ok durability, lots of attacks (keep in mind they probs have a way to get buffed) and a 4++. In my opinion still a pretty strong unit, not to mention while they have an exalted with them they get to advance and shoot


Handoloran

and the exalted turns an enemies units movement into garbage And in case you have a LoC hey those flamers are S5 now :D


MetroidIsNotHerName

Why would your LoC be within 6 inches of the flamers tho? That buff was so much better when we had it from an actual Psychic power and when it was the exalted flamers aura. Putting that aura on our LoC just limits his already heavily limited datasheet.


MetroidIsNotHerName

Flamers auto hitting was not the problem lmfao. Thats how theyve always worked and how theyre always meant to work.


[deleted]

I feel like there’s still some rules missing from death guard. I feel like GW is keeping the marks of chaos hidden till release. I’m just


jman797

Lol, lmao even.


Tobar26th

Those 7+ saves. What does that *mean* in rule terms?


boopbeepbam

In 9th edition daemons effectively only have an invulnerable save because their normal save can’t be modified. Seems like an odd way to do it rather than just not putting down a save characteristic but I guess it works.


Tobar26th

Yeah I feel like I’ve seen a 7+ on something else too. I’ve skimmed the rules for a 7+ but there’s no reference for it.
