Medjugorje Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) Hopefully those chapter approved leaks have something nice for us. BT are too new for that CA. and 15 points for a gladiator is a bad joke. Sword Brothers should go down -3 points. Crusadersquad the initiates should go down 1 point (as all intercessors if not 2 points). And that wont happen even if BT supp would be 1 year old.

SkimaskMohawk Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Why would they drop Primaris crusader squad points if they're showing up in winning tournament lists? Sword brethren problem isn't their points, it's their how their low durability intersects with minimal maneuverability. You could make them 15 points per model and you'd still run into the same problem of needing to spend too much to get them places and your elite slot getting eaten up.

Brother Kraskor Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 People are already taking attack bikes as an alternative to eradicators, I doubt they will jump to gladiators when the bikes are much better for their cost and more mobile.

Tokugawa Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 A big tank like gladiator. If it is buffed to "balanced playable" in random chapter, then it may be "awesome" in BT, then go "broken imba" in Iron hands and need nerf. We could call it "Iron hands dilemma". The decision of changes on an unit during balance, is largely based on the best performance of this unit, in tournaments. Which means when the FAQ talking about a marine primaris tank, it is taking about performance of the tank in Iron hands. If you are a big fan of big tank, you may never see your beloved toy going playable, when you don't want to play "the vehicle chapter".

It's either pts cuts or a new edition to fix how vehicles work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's the case, as Custodes are a newer codex and have changes in Chapter Approved. *edit* Oops was beaten to it!

Medjugorje Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 These changes are very cautious. None of the nerfs totally killed any unit, too. thats why GW is failing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make them 15 points per model and you'd still run into the same problem of needing to spend too much to get them places and your elite slot getting eaten up. incubi are not even close by input but are twice as good as our SB are. The important thing is that Incubis kill stuff and get their job done. Even with their stratagem and a full squad of SB as Relicbearer and 5 Powerswords are really bad in terms of output.

They are strong but not OP when looking to their tournament results. Edited January 21, 2022 by Medjugorje Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medjugorje Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 you said that Sword Brothers lack of input. I say its their lack of output. They need a few specific things for being worth it. As infantry is cheap then you need no other rules but SB need speed ( auto charges / advance + charge / charge boni / better movement ) rules to reach combat and if they reach the opponent they should able to do some damage but they are not good enough.

Perhaps big picture disagreements aside, is the view that primaris sword brethren are mediocre not just kinda straightforward? I agree that they could use some sort of boost but that is kind of a pointless exercise in wishlisting. Super competitive they are not, and that's nothing new for a codex, so we gotta work around it until GW does something (or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which seems to be you saying they need a points drop and movement options and damage output like incubi? You understand that being "worth it" and being equivalent to incubi are two completely different things? Or that internal balance of the marine units has to be considered?

I've run 4 in a 20 man a few times: it's hilarious. Advance + bbq at 15" or hit them with 4d6 auto hits on overwatch. Remember they're ap2 in tactical doctrine as well.

Old marine vehicles are dying, for reasons we all known. yea, you are not wrong, but it still doesn't make sense since the custodes LR got dropped by a few points. it would just be nice to have. It is barely worth the 300 points even with an invuln save after all! Anyways, saw the point leak on goon hammer and I have to say I am super disappointed. Redemptors have gone up by 10 points, but I may bring two of them anyways just because they can do everything. Still stinks, but it isn't the worse point change for my army. just have to drop a few power weapons on my firstborn marines to get it in my main army. Still, here's hoping we don't take too big of a hit because of this https://www.goonhammer.com/the-nachmund-gt-season-points-review-january-2022/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
