Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Tomorrow's article I've everything crossed for. Faction foci I hope we get to see what it is in store for Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle. Montford and Ranwulf 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closet Skeleton Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 So basically we get Age of Sigmar missions in 40k. I may be okay with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aothaine Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Didn't they say the custom land raiders are only for open play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Didn't they say the custom land raiders are only for open play? They did. There is some hope that this is a testbed to introduce them in matched play. Not yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickSix Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Legit vehicle design rules? HELL YES! I honestly told my group we would never see those again. Happy to eat crow on this one. Although I doubt we will see the Ares again as that is a legit conversion and not just a kit-bash. And there is still hope for Kroot hawks.

Gentlemanloser Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 No ynarri traits in CA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonoftherubric21 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 No ynarri traits in CA... I was under the impression those were in the Eldar Codex? I thought there was a section in there for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Nope. Ynarri get no relics, warlord traits or strategums. Guess they aren't popular enough. Just popular enough to be nerfed to high heaven though. the jeske 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withershadow Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 That likely means they are going to get a big splash release relatively soon. Halandaar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mileposter Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Doesn't really make sense for Ynnari to get faction traits, though. They'll likely get a Stratagem and a Relic, but they represent a faction of Aeldari that are supposed to be characterized by their lack of subfaction split. Plus the other silliness of splitting a subfaction into subfactions. Silas7 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the next "new army" is my thinking now that the last of the Death Guard kits should be out before Christmas.

Boyadventurer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Looks like the rumours from earlier are correct then. I hope there's more point changes than just SM and DG though. Deathwatch either need a legit "chapter tactic" kind of rule, or drop the price on vets so we're not paying 3ppm for our special rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's silly for them to have a dedicated warlord trait apart from the three in the book?

I was speaking against faction traits specifically rather than the Warlord getting a thing. Gentlemanloser 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronin_cse Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Nope. Ynarri get no relics, warlord traits or strategums. Guess they aren't popular enough. Just popular enough to be nerfed to high heaven though. When GS2 came out I had decided to convert all my Eldar to Ynnari as I had just started repainting them anyways, but I have to admit I'm getting a little nervous about doing that now as I'm worried about what their support will look like in the future now that they aren't getting an update at all in CA.

My guess is that since the designers don't want to make new versions of old designs over and over again and GW likes releasing new stuff currently....they'll probably use Ynnari as the "new Eldar" with most of the new Eldar model releases for them in the future. I wouldn't worry too much about them. ^^ Halandaar 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Talons, Inquisition, Sisters, and Tempestus fan, three of my four loves are not yet served. My faith is ironclad that all will be well.

Yeah I believe it will go into that direction. Maybe not as radical as in AoS but to some degree for sure.

Calyptra Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I think it makes more sense to iron out how Harlequins and Dark Eldar work in the context of their own armies before working on how they function in the Ynnari.

I think that's a fair appraisal of the situation. So far in 8th the only Codexes with "new" model support have been new factions (Primaris & Death Guard), and all the others have had either token re-releases of previously bundled models (Grey Knights, Craftworlds, AdMech), or nothing at all (CSM, Astra Militarum, Tyranids), and I think that's going to be the pattern going forward. I've been predicting Ynnari as a full model range release for a while now, and the fact that they aren't really included in CA only solidifies that opinion. Introducing Ynnari as a standalone faction allows the designers to go in new directions, instead of rehashing the same handful of Aspect units that in some cases are already on their 3rd design iteration.
