Wassa Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 May as well read the Big FAQ and the Astra Militarum FAQ to see the changes in April, other than that not much has changed. A brief summary: Commissars are usable again after the nerf that made them dangerous to take, points reduced to 15 or 16. No deep striking outside of your deployment zone in the first turn. Generally an amazing buff to us. Smite spam got nerfed. Knights came out, everyone I know seems to have them, may need to take a shadowsword if you're playing with a lot of points. In tournaments you're now limited to 2 of each unit for 1000 points, 3 of each unit for 2000 points, and it scales upwards. Sucks for us with a lot of troops needing company commanders. Tanks & Infantry is pretty much the guard in a nutshell, what are you doing wrong? :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noigrim Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 My army is mainly Punisher russ outflanking (tallarn) Heavy sup sqd w mortars Mordian infantry squad w plas Mordians are good in defence and attack (with the shoot again at 6+ strat), i use my commanders to move twice onto objectives. Other people may fill you better about antitank since I use marines for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akrim Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Prehaps the biggest change with the big FAQ is reinforcements can only deploy with their own zone turn 1 or normally after that. Not much changed otherwise for Astra otherwise that hasnt been mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duz_ Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Welcome back! :D As the others have mentioned the recent BIG FAQ made some changes although not too much impact on Guard. Rule of 3 may limit you a little, but overall was a good thing for the game. IG specifically are still in a very good spot. Although there are more codexes that are out that are equally as good if not slightly better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychobi Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 You got a lot of reading to do. Start sifting threads. Biggest shift will be more dark eldar wreking face and less yanari. You may see more knights in competition too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
