Lyraeus

It takes a bit of practice but I have been getting in games with it.

Correct we will do Week 6 starting next Tuesday or the next week the clubhouse is open. I would LIKE to do some Table Top Simulator but not many have taken that opportunity

Ohhhh interesting. I wish I owned Tomb Blades! Tons of things I don't have

Sure it does. The unit handing out the buff is costed for the buff not for how many units can get the buff. Things that can get the buff need to cost something for being able to use said buff otherwise there is no meaningful difference between chapters other than being able to give X or Y unit a reroll. Those units need to pay for their "Core" status

Easy rule to implement, yes, however it means they are balanced differently. Let's say Aggressors are Core for Ultramarines but not Imperial Fists, Aggressors should cost more inherently for Ultramarines than Imperial Fists, while the Plasma toting Primaris could be core for Dark Angles so they should cost more. The reason for the base cost difference is due to being able TOO be affected by rerolls. The issue is, I dont see GW doing that which means it is likely an all or nothing. If they surprise me and do it that way and take the time to increase points by 3-5ppm then it would be interesting and fun. Regardless of all of that, what I want is the Forge World book... i want to know what is happening to my Chinorks!

Rerolls are a way to balance out an elite units shooting. The Issue marines come up with however is that they have more shooting than most horde armies so the Rerolls just make it oppriesive. HOPEFULLY Core units for them will be things like Tactical squads, Devastator squads, things like that while NOT being Aggressors, Eradicators, Centurions, etc. This also lets GW do something that could turn REALLY bad and that is let the supplemental codices have Core units that are different from the standard. So for instance Salamanders could have Eradicators as Core while Dark Angels have Terminators

If they were like Harlequins where the Hero's were essential then sure, but in reality, does Space Marines REALLY need "Re roll all hits"? to be good? I dont think they do

YAY! I got into it with a Marine player in my TTS Crusade group... He was mad that he couldnt play Herohammer the same and I told him I was happy he had to play the game much like the rest of us non marine players.

Cat Table Meme is the new primaris standard 😛

This space marine fanboy hit my worries dead on the nose. Based on the PL for these units at max upgrade they should be about 280-290 points for 10 T5 W3 models. So 30 T5 wounds for 280 points vs current primaris which is 200 points for 20 T4 wounds or the future tactical marines which are 180 for 10 no upgrade Firstborn

Doctrines on there own are not a huge issue though. Its everything else that comes with it. All the over the top strats that are similar or better to what other factions have, relics that equal or beat every other faction, the list goes on. It is just so frustrating.

Its not necessarily a Primaris issue. You also should not feel bad for playing what you like. For me it is all the tools you get with those choices. More strats, relics, abilities, etc than any other army. It doesn't make Marines OP just extremely tough to play against.

That sounds fun!

You are hitting exactly why I wont build a marine army. Sisters of Battle will likely be my next army

I have not painted in like a week. I got my Doomsday Arks in so I am building them between things at work

Work has me by the shirt... I want to game!!! alas not today.

So far the Doomsday Ark has not been that bad to build. I am not magnetizing it though.

Well I will be putting one together today and I shall see. It doesnt seem that bad but lets see

So I have heard.... Joy.... pure...joy

Tanks beware!

Sadly I wont be there. Work is going crazy atm.

I did miss that... it doesnt affect the Skorpekh Lord though

I should be there depending on work

Why cant he take the Mephrit trait?

Plasmancer is pretty good but I have found the Royal Warden to be kind of amazing
