There is no guarantee that we will ever see an errata or FAQ for this. Psychic powers are not the only broken thing in this edition. Wait until the battle report with a battle forged marine drop pod...

You sir...win the thread!

Not only that, but venomthropes are a trap. There's way too much cover ignoring shooting to think that they will live for long and the assault death stars won't care about the cover save either (or...

Easy answer is always shoot the synapse creatures first when possible. The army will crumble without them. This is why I think eventually players will start moving towards infiltrating genestealers...

With the nerf to AP and the new restrictions on what upgrades it can take I don't see any reason to take R'Varna over a normal riptide. Not for the points cost.

Shuriken weapons can wreck anything in the Tyranid book as well and there's snipers for everyone else (except orks...but they will eventually get a new book). There has been very little mention of...

Ground it with anything...and then it dies to the same weapons or assault as a normal FMC or MC would.

No mention of Beastmen = 2009?

A-Wing cards would be great as then they will hopefully get more useful abilities. They are hardly taken for anything except maybe a cheap (for Rebels) missile delivery.

It's not a critical hit. It's the Vader crew member special ability where you take 2 dmg and deal a faceup damage card to an opponent. Its about the only thing that makes a Lambda worth taking.

8th is OK. I feel the main problem now is just the cost of entry for new players even with various web sites offering 25% and off or buying used off auctions its still very expensive to start a new...

Do we know if Harpies are still in the book?

Isn't the HE Star Dragon the only monster with 7 wounds? I could totally be wrong there.

You forgot some cannons that are very common in popular armies. There's also the Skullcannon in Daemons,...

My thoughts too. I figured they would be near the top of the list.

Thanks for the clearer pics! The Khaine statue is the only thing that looks strange to me (weird proportions), but it could just be the angle of the photo and the paintjob. I can definitely see the...

Not really...I hardly ever play in tournaments. Mostly just pickup games at the FLGS. And while the new releases are making some sales the player pool here in Florida has definitely dwindled down...

The biggest complaints that I still hear about Fantasy is that Magic and Warmachines are too powerful while regular Cavalry (not monstrous) and Monsters are too weak.

In the case of monsters...

I would expect the Grail Reliquae to the large kit for Brets. A good choice too since most players never used it and don't have the old model. Seems like every army has some sort of mobile shrine...

Competitvely, you're right. You will probably only see Enclaves as a detachment to a Tau primary.

That being said the crisis suit unit is one of the most flexible units in the book. Putting 18...

This.

I would drop a riptide and add more troops preferrably sniper kroot to give you some more options in target priority and outflanking.Add more men to the 6 man units of firewarriors. MSU...

I don't agree with Tau being point & click. You have to be able to stay out of assaults (easiser said than done vs. a lot of armies) and grab and hold objectives (or the relic) with fairly fragile...

Very cool report! What editing/production software do you use for video?

At least it gives us a speedier and more durable option for relic missions without having to use allies.

It did more than that. Wraithknight as your warlord, new warlord traits, new wargear, changed the primaris power for Runes of Battle....

Thanks for posting this!
