Honestly Vigilors are a great support unit that are simply 10-50 points too expensive. Even then I’ve written them into most lists. I really want to pair them along side 6 Longstrikes.

Of course, don’t you know that there’s a world wide battle report shortage? All the battle reports are stuck on a boat from China

The realm of Planet of the Apes. It’s the most ambitious crossover yet! (check left hand side)

Currently waiting on a box of Dracoths myself

I wouldn’t do this with a one cast general who has no casting bonuses. Any super caster will shut it down effortlessly. In addition, none of the SCE spells are (imo) damaging enough to make this worthwhile either. Honestly comet is superior in that regard. Its maybe worthwhile on Thundershock and Starfall.

Scenes when GW release another side game before the SCE kits.

I think you could pretty easily run one of them in almost any list, and 3 of them start to look scary.

That would be fine if we were starting from 0 with no legacy stuff to deal with, but the reality is that there are existing strong books that GW have failed to reign in; that these books will exist unchanged until at least Xmas; and GW has a demonstrable track record of being unable to control themselves when it comes to mid-cycle power creep. Asking for a middling book early is asking to be weak for the entire edition.

uk.custserv@gwplc.com good luck

This is beyond a farce now. Earliest release date is October 23rd. That will be 6 weeks from the book preorder date. Bear in mind that was delayed by 2 weeks (should have been last week of August), we’re talking an 8 week delay. And nothing on the communication front.

Except we don’t play events in this theoretical state where the top lists are reigned in. We have to play in events where Sons, Archaon, Sentinels, Seraphon are rolling over everything right now, and GW have shown no interest in doing anything about it. Nerfing stormdrakes and Translocaiton won’t bring SCE into line with some hypothetical middle pack; it will gut the army competitively, leaving it reliant on a) Scions Annihilators (killed by at least 3 battleplans let alone competent screening), or b) Redeemer wall. That’s the opposite of what you’re trying to acheive

Take out Translocation and Stormdrakes, and we’re back to a Scions bomb but with Annihilators instead of Gavriel; and like the last 3 years it is entirely at the mercy of TO whim.

Tooth and nail and Apex Predator say hello

Take a triumph

I like him but needs a 20 point cut to be considered.

And yet all but one kruleboyz kit was out last week. Yeah I get it logistics are screwed. But how does this shaft one of two releases that were both out at the same time?

Genuinely considering dropping out of every event this year now.

You can benefit from max +1 save but that’s after modifiers. If your save is 3+ with +1 save facing rend 1, you go back to a 3+ (+1-1 Net 0 save modifier). But if you have +2 save bonus you effectively ignore rend 1 and go to a 2+ save (+2-1 net +1 save modifier).

What’s the list?

Yeah but I am. Sorry, don’t mean to sound ungrateful, but at this point I think my best choice is to drop out.

Archaon/gargants/morathi/gotrek/teclis are going to run over this list without breaking a sweat.

No Dracolines or gardus either 🤷‍♂️

I’ve actually seen some good numbers posted on Castigators, but at the same time that’s still only 200-400 points.

As someone who owns lots of Evocators, ballista and castigators, and no Dracoths, protectors or Longstrikes, and can’t buy any big hammer annihilators or dragons because GW won’t sell them, and somehow has to write an event list, this really hurts. 😔 Like where do I even start?

It’s honestly infuriating
