Holier Than Thou Posted March 24, 2018 Author Share Posted March 24, 2018 Did anyone bring a pure GK list? I very much doubt it. The people attending Adepticon are probably quite competitive, there's no reason they would take our trash Codex. Most likely the only representation we would have had would be some allied GMNDKs.

Danarc Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Someone told me that the winner was GI + BA. I have no info about a GK players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_149 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Nope nids won...With a total of 7 Hive Tyrants, 4 Mawlocs, 8 Mucolid Spores and 9 bases of Rippers Matt Root was able to take the crown. http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2018/03/40k-the-unbeatable-list-adepticon-2018.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Mytre Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Time to get rid of the Supreme Command Detachment.This. I was thinking about it, you could keep it, but change how many CP it grants, ie, 0 or -1. Might stop people spamming those units while still allowing choice. Still, CP army access makes it hard to balance. They really need to redo the CP generation method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I maintain if everything in the codex got +1 attack we would be too bad off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Fortis Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I feel, that "one HQ of the same type per detachment" rule will become universal by the next Chapter Approved. Probably best and easiest way to get rid of good HQ spam etc. Some armies of course get hurt, but not GK. Just no more battalions with double GMNDK. This will nerf Supreme Command too, because it is almost always about maximizing same choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevak Dal Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Frankly after taking that away from Tau they should make it fair and do it with everybody else. Also make their battlesuits bs3+ since they took away their best features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will nerf Supreme Command too, because it is almost always about maximizing same choice. If they just removed the supreme command detachment, they wouldn't need any rules like that. Every other detachment has a tax of at least 3 other units, so to spam a HQ, you are going to be paying a lot in troops/elites/fast attack etc (depending on the army ofc).

Reclusiarch Darius Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 We already ban Supreme Command locally. It's only used for cheese anyway. I am considering 'two max of same datasheet in HQ' per detachment. That plus our 2 detachment limit really kills HQ spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danarc Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I agree, the supreme command detachment should be deleted. This could fix much problems. Still no news? Today is the day? Tomorrow? After a couple of days of wh-community spoilers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holier Than Thou Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 It'll probably come out in April. Seriously though, if it comes out today or tomorrow I'd say that means it won't take account of anything from Adepticon, if it's any later than that then maybe they'll have amended it to incorporate feedback from Adepticon.

Gentlemanloser Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Mate of mine watches a load of battle reports online. Told me he watched one with the new Tau dex facing the GK. Tau (and this is someone who had just picked up the Codex) wiped the floor with the GK. But one of the comments from the Video was something along the lines of; "You shouldn't test a new Codex versus the weakest Codex" :'( Is there anyone who doesn't think GK is the worst Codex released for 8th?

Matt_149 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 That was the tabletop tactics one I would guess. The dice were not with the gk player that game. He also fielded 4 squads of interceptors and 3(?) squads of terminators. The damage 2 riptide cannon ate them pretty quick :( a further nail in the terminators coffin :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holier Than Thou Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Is there anyone who doesn't think GK is the worst Codex released for 8th? Clearly Games Workshop, so far they seem to think it's absolutely fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corvus Fortis Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 He is a type of player that considers an army complete garbage if you don't take models you like and kill everything on 2+ rerollable. When I pointed that he, at least, has Riptide spam back he answered "but I don't like riptides". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also fielded 4 squads of interceptors and 3(?) squads of terminators. The damage 2 riptide cannon ate them pretty quick :( a further nail in the terminators coffin :( Yeah, the Tau player had 2 Riptides and his Commanders had quad fusion loadouts. Interestingly, the GK player was "The Spider" Lawrence, the guy who won one of the GW Tournaments last year with the famous Guilliman + 6 Assualt Cannon Razorback list. His second favourite army on his channel is GKs though he admits the codex is not up to snuff when it comes to Tournament-level. I keep hoping GW contacts Lawrence (or he provides input to them) when it come to improvements for the GK codex, if they ever plan to revisits our specific rules/units/profiles.

Gentlemanloser Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Hah! Guess my expectations won't be met. Let's release the FAQs based on tournament results after a major tournament. Ah shoot.

Soder Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 They’re calling it the “Spring” update now lol. Either way I’d rather have them release it properly instead of rushing it. I just really hope we see some GK love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
