Montoya Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 https://www.warhammer-community.com/2020/09/16/core-units-and-characters/ HUGE change. I know a lot of my effectiveness in my admech list is Cawl's re-rolls on things like my robots etc. It will be interesting to see the overall impact on the game. In particular for us, which units will be "core" and which won't.....

Black Knight Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I am hoping most of our characters buff tanks and not infantry, maybe that's what our new model is for. They couldn't do the same to us as they have done with SM as it would break our army, we are vehicle based and not infantry.

Lord Lorne Walkier Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 This is great news. Take some of the cheez out of the game. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/366537-change-to-characters-and-auras/#findComment-5603022 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BolterZorro Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Now, the real game is: who will be CORE ? - rangers - vanguards - kataphrons - probably the cavalry - no, the robots, I can't imagine GW give them the sesame... - same for balistarii and dragons.

Black Knight Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I would guess that the Datasmith will be the buffer for the bots, hes pretty much useless right now.

MajorNese Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 While it does make the game more balanced (who hasn't faced gunlines 100% covered by rerolls), how hard this hits us will boil down to what is Core. Big, fast units (flyers, gunboats, chickens) probably won't be, and that's okay since they shouldn't stay back. Our troops section should be Core, and I hope our Onagers as standard gun platform will be too. Cawl + bots might be effective, but considering how one-dimensional and obvious that combo is, I'd guess it won't work in the future. As long as they at least buff AdMech to be somewhat competitive to compensate the lacking buffs, I'd be fine with that.

Magos Takatus Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 On the plus side Adeptus Mechanicus as a faction seen to be getting pretty frequest updates so if they make a mistake they might be willing to correct it further down the line.

BassWave Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Hopefully priests across the board get a rework from the ground up that gives each a clear role.

Charlo Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I'm guessing things like Datasmiths or other priests we have will get some considerably different auras.

Magos Takatus Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Yes, Datasmiths could end up becoming really valuable if the Kastellans can only recieve buffs from them in future. I know it would mean trying to cram another model into our army lists but it seems to combine game and lore a bit better to me.
