Skkipper Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 So I have a tourney to head to in 2 months. it is 2k and using itc rules A list I am looking at is Kharne and 19 berzerkers zhufor and 18 berzerkers 2 squads of 10 cultists a fire raptor a storm eagle and a khad assault pod so basically one berzker blob rides in pod, one rides in eagle. I am sure that this will not win the event but going 3-2 is always the goal. are the chances good? or is this totally wrong for 8th? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 2, 2018 Report Share Posted March 2, 2018 It sounds good now, but I worry that the upcoming TAU codex will ruin any assault-only armies. I think that list is too reliant on melee to solve all it's problems. Also, because your only CHARACTER models are special characters, you can't take any Chaos Artefacts. Definitely going to want that Brass Collar option just to have some psychic defense on the table. I know, world eaters have that 4+ save that cost command points, but even if you have spare command points, it's only once per phase, so they get chewed up pretty bad in the psychic phase. World Eaters are pretty scewed against psyker heavy armies, and I'd expect those at any Tourney because psyker spam is very effective.

Too bad you can't get 3 of the same faction with stratagem access...3 Khorne Dozers (Lord of Skulls, right?), for example, would have access to the CSM stratagems.

I have about 200 points left over so may add a plasma obliterator to the mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skkipper Posted April 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 things I learned yesterday. fortifactions are better in 8th because they can't be taken over by opponent. butchers nails is great on the lords of war. deamonforge and scorn of sorcery will us most of my command points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, destroyed fortifications in 8e are removed, while in 7e they'd stay on the table, count as ruins, and continue to affect LoS. Additionally, buildings now have a fixed BS, instead of using the BS of the embarked unit. So that Plasma Obliterator, for example, hits on 5s. 8e fortifications are also a lot harder to affect with buffs, given that most 8e buffs specify factions. A Warpsmith can't repair a building, for example. Dunno which edition's are best, but they both gained and lost with the edition change.
