Chapter Approved Discussion

[mertbl]

I think that's it.

[sairence]

Does anyone have the changes to the Forgeworld stuff? Were there any?

[domsto]

Does anybody have a complett list of all the Changes?

 

Orgyns going up is a little bit strange. But i think this won't impact anybody becouse nobody played them anyway;)

Mortars and Wyvern going up seems also pretty random. both aren't that great

But i can live with this random point hights as long they leaf the Guardsmen at 4ppm.

[Level9red]

I believe Hellstrike missiles were reduced, but I’m not sure. If they were the flyers just got usable I think.

[MoshJason]

No change for deathstrike?

[Nusquam]

Wonder how the Stormhammer and Storm lade turned out.

[H311fi5h]

The stormblade will never be any good unless they rework the rules for its main gun. It's total garbage right now. Baneblade has a whopping 50% more firepower and additional guns.

[xenomortis]

Did I hear correctly that scions dropped to 7ppm, but command squads are still 9ppm?

[sairence]

Yes. Makes sense from the point of view that GW seems to have a vision of how specific armies should broadly be played. And for Command Squads, given the restrictions they put on them over time, it's that they should be support units and not necessarily beefed up special weapon squads that get spammed out.

 

The Baneblade family is interesting now...you can can get 3 for under 1100p (3x364), which gives plenty of space for support elements. I think you might even be able to bring a Brigade and 4(!) Baneblades...at a certain it raises the question of heavy armour saturation for your opponent.

 

Note, I do not own a kit and never played one in 8th, so this is just speculation on my part.

Sounds like you're going to have to do it now! ;)

 

 

I wondered if that was going to be the case about the scions oh well not necessarily a bad thing

[sairence]

Oh yeah, I know. :D

 

I have a sizeable army at this stage, some of it even painted (yes, I will get around to putting pictures up here too!) but no real superheavy support. So they are next on the list.

 

The Baneblades have to wait though...I still have my half finished Marauder waiting to be done. No new superheavy until that one is ready to fly.

[duz_]

Looks like the Battlescribe files have been updated some what

 

I can't see the IG updates though... Is this just me or are others having the same issue?

[Kain Mor]

Yeah I don’t have the AM updates yet either, but my chaos lists have updated.

[sairence]

I have them now. You may have to delete the old data when updating...kinda like clearing your cookies in your browser.

[duz_]

Looks like they did another update late last night

 

My lists dropped 20-30 pts :D

 

Lascannons for everyone!

[HallofStovokor]

BattleScribe hasn't yet fixed all of the guard points. Lascannons on the baneblades still cost 20 points and missile launchers are still at 15 when they should be 10. I imagine that they need to do quite a bit of editing.

[duz_]

I thought my shadowsword seemed more expensive than anticipated

 

Have your submitted an error report? They're surprisingly easy to do

Not yet. I'll probably do that after work.

[librisrouge]

I’ve fielded a triple super heavy list before and I can help but feel like this’ll make it much stronger even just because I can basically add another infantry squad to screen.

[duz_]

With the few extra points I gained I might just field another screen unit

[BIG ROB OF DEATH]

Should the sponson lascannons on a Shadowsword be 15 pts each? Also, are all Leman Russ variants cheaper now, especially the Executioner? Battlescribe still has the higher points values for both, and for whatever reason I am unable to send a message about these to Battlescribe.... can anyone advise/assist?

[duz_]

If you goto the manage data screen there should be 3 vertical dots next to each data series

If you click on that it will goto a report page it's pretty simple

 

 

Yes all the lascannons should have gone down. They probably forgot because of how different baneblade ones are from others in regards to load out.

 

I don't have my copy of CA yet, but presumably the chassis went down in points not just the Battle cannon turret?

 

Punisher did go up some, possibly offset by decrease in thebl chassis though?

[BIG ROB OF DEATH]

I tried, duz_  but still no luck. Maybe someone else can get through to them about these matters? Thanks!

[sairence]

Make sure you update with delete existing data before you file an error report.

 

I haven't checked lascannons, but LR, Mortars, Astropaths and Wyverns all have the new points for me, but it took a little bit.

Yeah, but there are errors with missile launcher HWTs and baneblade lascannons. From what I understand, the astra militarum data author is fixing it.
