Swan-of-War Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Would the new Corsair rules (Doom of Mymeara) be allowed at the OFCC? Thinking of trying something new 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pretre Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 It'll be up to the HOG(s). Chances are yes, if last year is any indication. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisruptiveConduct Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Rule of cool is always number 1. Are you taking it because you think its a cool theme and can do something awesome with it? Or are you just trying to smash face? A little smash face is fine, just dont go full bore smash face. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted September 23, 2016 Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 I took my Corsairs list last year. I had wanted to paint an Eldar army for aeons, and was working on Corsair-themed Eldar with Dark Eldar allies when the Doom of Mymeara book dropped. I switched to that list because, frankly, the army is thematically cool as all get out. To address the power level, I scaled the power level back, tried things out, and scaled the power level back some more. The list was accepted, but further playtesting had me still worried later. I ended up deciding not to use the move-after-shooting power on overwatch for any of the units, and that helped a bit. I definitely won't be taking them back to the OFCC (I found myself missing my CSM / Nurgle Daemon list), but I was glad to finish and show off the army. Short answer: Corsairs are the coolest of the Eldar lists, and you should definitely take one. Eldar and Corsair players just have to be extra careful with list building. I'd love to see what you do with them! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted September 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2016 Very cool! Glad to hear that they're accepted - not looking to smash face, just have some fun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestRider Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Eldar, at this point, you have to be pretty careful with, because it's pretty easy to end up with something very strong almost by accident, even when just going on the basis of "Ooh, shiny!". That said, the Corsairs from Doom of Meowmeow don't seem to me to require any more care in that regard than regular Craftworld Eldar, and I don't see them getting any kind of blanket ban. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 (Thanks Torg, I messaged you) Question - Eldar Craftworld Outcasts. Can you take up to three Eldar Elite or Fast Attack choices as your Elites? Can they ride in a Corsair dedicated transport from another squad (as I'm not seeing where you can take a Falcon or Venom as it's own unit)? Would they start the game in said Corsair transport or need to start on foot. Pretty much asking if Banshees can be put in Corsair Venoms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Sounds like you have the old book. There's a new edition out. The outcasts are gone, but there are a TON of other fantastic options. Look for the second edition of Doom. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted September 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Shoot yeah, it's 2011. Can't believe they released another list already though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Shoot yeah, it's 2011. Can't believe they released another list already though Didn't 6th and 7th come out in that time frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 The new one is fantastic and is superior to the first edition in every way. Wonderful, characterful stuff that feels like its own army. It's worth every cent, and is a bargain now that everything Forge World is paid in Brexit Funbucks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
