Well Eldar players, incoming nerfing:


Wraithseer only can get a wraithcannon now for 40 pts (WAT?!) and the Warp Hunter barrage is down to 3" blast at Str 7 AP3 (?!) and predictably, you can't take CTM on it (No Eldar Heldrake - pity)

Deliverance is nerfed down to a 5+ FNP.


It was fun while it lasted. These nerfs better come with some hefty price drops. I'm using a wraithseer in an escalation league right now and I'm going to be quite mad that he lost his D-Cannon barrage. So so stupid that they took away his D-Cannon.

That is the dumbest thing I have read today, its not even the heavy wraithcannon......so absolutely stupid

and why the hell is the wraithseers Ld test at -3 power a witchfire and NOT a malediction? so you need to roll to hit....Who had their pants on their head when they wrote that?

[DrLove42]

Yep, i saw the AP 3 and was dissapoint. Why is a D Cannon carried by a guy, or on a weapons platform S 10, but a bigger, tank mounted version only Strength 7?

It is 3 shots though, so its 3 hits. Its just not going to worry Terminators any more,or heavy vehicles. Does mean its a harder choice between Fire Prism or Warp Hunter

I only hope Hornets are still OK, or my Eldar army is going FW free for a long time

[Mr Mystery]

Yay! Pylons! CHEAP PYLONS!

Yes please Forgeworld....I'll be having some of that!

[eldargal]

Yay, Eldar Can't Have Nice Things strikes again. I mean the Warp Hunter needed a nerf or price increase but losing D-cannon for Distort AND getting a smaller blast is fudging ridiculous. Better be damned cheap, it's not like the regular codex doesn't have an abundance of AP3 killiness already.

Wraithcannon on a 'seer was already 40pts though.

[daboarder]

Seer had a D-cannon, now its got the gun the wraithguard have, HUGE difference.

[eldargal]

Ah, missed that. What a joke. Because what Eldar REALLY need in Apocalypse is more S7/8 firepower. I just hope the other races stuff is equally ****ed and it's not just ours.

[daboarder]

The biomorphs for the hierophant are interesting, one gives it a transport capacity of 20 termagants, its called a S***** incubator, Hope thats NOT a sign of things to come for the tervigon.

What I don't understand is why they DIDN'T change his statline to be more in tune with the new Wraithlord stats (he's still S10) but they nerfed literally, everything else about him. Not a single thing didn't get nerfed. Offensive - nerfed. Defensive - nerfed. Psychic - nerfed (and its unlikely the price will drop at all, so therefore, cost - nerfed).

Next thing you know he's going to take up an HQ AND A heavy slot.

The warp hunter is a travesty honestly. I don't know how the damn tank D-cannon is LESS powerful than the platform mounted version. The AP3 on it is a slap in the face.

All I'm waiting for is the shoe to drop on the Nightwing and Phoenix. They're about the only FW units worth taking now for Eldar and I can only imagine after all the whinging I've heard about the NW that its about to get hit with the ole nerf-bat.

"You have a flyerin your codex why don't you use that?"

"Because it sucks. Badly"
