a lot of wargear went down in points which is nice (except for the disintigrator cannon, but the increases to model costs like Kab Warriors, Wyches and Wraks is quite annoying. my 2000 point list went up to 2278!

I'm not familiar enough with the point costs off hand to judge, but the point increase on Warriors and Wyches could have been worse given we were told of a roughly 20% increase so relatively that probably works out as a net win compared to most other Troops. I don't have any effective lists to worry about much, but at least I can now lay claim to more painted points of DE? :laugh.:

The problem really isn't how much of a hike it was, but how much it was relative to other factions....so for example we had an average 16% increase, while marines had 10%, which is obviously fair and balanced...

 

Anyway, I'm sticking it out with Drukhari, come what may.

I'll probably be dropping Razorwings, Incubi, and Cronos....and taking Drazhar, Rakarth, Taloi, Grots, and as many Kabalites in Venoms that I can fit (with Blast Pistols).

I'm not sure what the average increases are, something I saw had Marines getting more increase than DE but either way it's not a very meaningful metric. With all the changes we'll need to wait for the dust to settle and see how it goes with fewer models on the table for everyone, not to mention relative use with the new game in 9th.

 

Going to be very interesting to hear people's reports from earlier experiences. Before the next Chapter Approved starts dropping all the points again, presumably :tongue.:

This sort of thing is a bit 'annoying'...

 

A Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons has:
- A capacity of 5 models
- Subtract's 1 from shooting attacks against it.
- A 5++ against shooting
- 12 S- AP- D1 Poison 4+ shots at 18" (half that many further away).

A Starweaver with 2 Shuriken Cannons has:
- A capacity of 6 models
- Subtract's 1 from shooting attacks against it.
- A straight 4++
- Always Advances 6"
- 6 S6 AP- D1 Rending shots at 24" (Can still be fired after the model Advances).

In 9th, the Starweaver costs 80pts, whilst the Venom costs 90.
