Rules Changes in LACAL


Brofist

Recommended Posts

Laser destroyers have been an inconsistent disaster for ages now. My eBook says 36", S9, AP1, Ordnance 1, Twin-linked in every entry and wargear section, except for the Fellblade where it's AP2. :/ Doesn't have 48" range anywhere.

 

Feels like I have to pay another $10 to get the extra 12" range in the iBook...

Wow, this new Scorpius ammo profile is great. Might even consider taking seekers without/less than usual combis. On the other hand, Headhunters feel like loosers right now.

 

A question: Grenade lunchers - are they in the wargear section?

 

Also does Moritat still have "Lone killer" rule? With double nerf (plasma + 12shots max) he's kinda useless.

Interesting. The ebook seems to only have the Laser Destroyer, and not the Laser Destroyer Array.

Guess that's what I get for spending ten less dollars! tongue.png

Did terminators never have a transport option or is that new?

I have no idea what you're talking about. They did before, they do now.

Where? I'm looking at the unit entry on the ebook right now and there's no option for dedicated transport?

Have you e-mailed FW about it? This sounds like there's been a mistake when creating the eBook file, so they'll want to update it as soon as possible I imagine.

Disappointing that there appears to be so many inconsistencies between the different digital versions. I really hope that doesn't carry over to the paper versions...

 

I love FW to bits, but it wouldn't be a high quality FW hardcover without some proofreading errors :P

Does anyone know the point values for these three items?

 

Spartans
-Ten points more expensive
-Flare shield significantly more expensive
-Laser destroyers are a free upgrade
 
Javelin Attack Speeder
-20 point drop
-New special rules
-Hunter killers cost less
 
Dreadnaught Drop Pods
-Large points increase

Personally, they overdid it with the drop pod price increase. The leviathan is good, but was teetering on the 'almost too expensive' part of that spectrum. An extra 30 points makes it cost almost as much as knight, which you can now take as a LOW. Get ready to see less leviathans and more of those. Otherwise the dreadclaw is better and you can put all your other dreadnoughts inside of it.

 

I dunno dude, let's chat about this. Giving a dread (especially a Levi) what amounts to three void shields and Shrouded is pretty amazing. My WE Orbital Assault list uses three Levis in pods to fill heavy support and I'll gladly still pay 100 points per to drop those chubby bastards exactly where I need them and more or less guarentee they'll be able to charge something expensive.

 

I think they're easily worth a much as a Knight. If you just compare them foot slogging, then sure the Levi obviously loses, but when you combine the mobility of the pod, the extra resilience it grants (essentially giving the Levi one more 'hull point' than the knight) coupled with the fact a charging Leviathan will probably knee cap a knight before it can swing in most circumstances... totes worth the asking price
