Dakka Bots are gonna be so much fun in 9th

I can’t wait to march a big group of them up the board with a hoarde of Skitarii, get in to combat and keep on blasting them Phosphor blasters into the meat sacks.

Theyve definately taken a boost with the 'move without penalty' update they'll get (and Mars canticle is awesome with them).

 

However you'd need to offset them getting up the board against them only firing once each turn (otherwise they cant move).

 

Dont get me wrong, being able to fire in combat is really nice for when you get charged, but Id still be avoiding combat with them where possible with the phosphor loadout.

To me it's going to come down to all the point hikes GW has promised us. Sure everyone is in the same boat, but they have an awkward mechanic, and they are pretty expensive still. 

 

I just had a game using 4, and they while they posed a threat, they still have that lesser threat thing going. I hope that changes too.
