Chapter Approved

[Indefragable]

Dreadnought Drop Pod cheaper than the regular version...

 

Sicaran cheaper than Predator...

 

If anyone was wondering if GW actually knew what the :cuss it was doing...

 

 

***should the above be true in an apples-to-apples sense without any major rules changes or differences

[Ishagu]

The Sicaran has restrictions that prevent spam at least, it is a relic. It's not cheaper BTW. 25 points more expensive or so.

[Pendent]

When you consider the actual damage output compared to a predator I honestly don't think it's particularly undercosted. That ap-1 hurts.

[Frater Cornelius]

Well, a naked Sicaran costs 155pts, not counting the mandatory HB. A naked AutoPred costs 130pts. For 25 additionl points you get better mobility due to Assault and 2" additional movement, 3 more wounds and a weapon with a constant amount of shots, but only 2D, with bonus against <Fly> units, as well as a bigger chassis that isn't as easy to hide.

It it worth it? Well, the Sicaran is undercosted now, but statistically, the AutoPred is still better at busting TWC and Paladins. The Sicaran is marginally better at killing T7 3+ Vehicles now. Not very good balacing, but FW has always been pay-to-win, so that's nothing new. The Lords of War are off the table now though, that's good.

 

There is still the chance that the SM version of the Twin Accelerator Cannons cost something whereas the Chaos Sicaran is more expensive. No idea why, but the image doesn't confirm anything. It is pretty obvious now and outside of some fluke, we are stuck with even more useless Preds now.

I'm honestly REALLY glad to see the FW LoW becoming this expensive if it also means their rules will fit those cost eventually. Makes them a thing for actually big games again instead of having LoW vs army scenarios in regular games.
