G8Keeper Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 According to the latest Forgeworld email we're meant to have a FAQ live on the 40k app. As far as I can tell it's still the same, the Agents of Vect ones still reference the old rule for example. Anyone found anything different? The errata for the latest Drukhari codex has been updated in Warhammer 40,000: The App. Still don't have it installed on your phone? Download the app to unlock digital codexes, use Battle Forge to build your armies, and loads more.

TrawlingCleaner Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 It's just gone live now on the FAQs page here: https://www.warhammer-community.com/faqs/#warhammer-40000 I Imagine it'll go live on the app in a short period of time. FAQ content wise, the main big one for me is that Dark Technomancers hasn't been changed at all which is a real shame, it's just clarifications on stuff we already knew.

Halandaar Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The Drukhari FAQ has just released. No surprises about the points on the Reavers, I think we all knew that was wrong in the book.

quasistellar Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Aaaaaaand aside from the actual obvious copy-paste error, nothing was addressed. I'm all for letting the meta shake out just a bit, but the razorflails and the extra 2 CP should have been addressed in this, at least.

Dark Shepherd Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The broken razorflail combo/thing is in Charadon so it needs the FAQ from that? Just seeing so much on warcom posts from people wanting it to be fixed.

ThePenitentOne Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yeah, that 2CP for three patrol thing is just nut bar. Poor, poor writing. No command benefit should ever have been written as "+ x" they should have been written as "This detachment costs 0 if..." Should have been written that way in every codex. The Drukhari dex is the only one so far where it would make a difference, but that's why the error occurs- they're trying to use the same wording from the base rule when the Drukhari dex makes that wording problematic. Bonkers that the internet complaints and tournament list exploits are EVERYWHERE and GW still can't see it.

Bonkers that the internet complaints and tournament list exploits are EVERYWHERE and GW still can't see it. That +2 cp thing feels like a weird 8th ed carryover where taking patrols didn't get you enough CP. It's absolutely nonsensical to have both that and no CP cost to take multiple patrols in 9th. Feels like they accidently forgot to remove that +2 cp bit when they decided to go the no CP cost route instead.

smileyjim Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Shame there was no balancing done with the FAQ. Hope next one addresses how underwhelming they are as a faction.

They're...underwhelming? Dark eldar are kind of the opposite of that; they're very capable and are far more fun to play again than venom spam ever was.

Seahawk Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Balancing never ever happens with the 2 week FAQ, it's just the typo corrector. Also, underwhelming?? The faction currently toting 75% win rate is underwhelming? I guess it's not stronger than pre-nerf Iron Hands, but...

Tokugawa Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If a faction is tier0 with astonishing win rate, and start with 14cp. Then it would still be tier0 with 12cp. There are much more broken things in the codex, and need to be FAQed more urgently, than 14cp.

Sothalor Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Underwhelming? Aren't the Drukhari currently curb-stomping the tournament scene in a fashion similar to pre-nerf Iron Hands at the end of 8th?

BLACK BLΠFLY Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I always said the rule set for 9th edition is great. Geedub nuked all of the gamey things in 8th edition. The problem has always been power creep which is exacerbated this edition due to the slower release of the new codices. I have watched several new battle reports pitting DG with Mortard versus druchii and every time the later smoked him turn 1. To me this is just blatantly bad design. emperorpants and Bat33.1 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370092-drukhari-faq/#findComment-5693776 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Coolpants Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I really wish they'd just release all new books and rules at once for all factions. And just release all new models with full CORRECT rules in the box. Although the new models are likely to get the power creep treatment, it means the majority of the codecies won't.

I think has more to due with the basic rules than the army design. That it is too easy to kill the big things and that turn one is extremely important to get. Turn on alpha strikes is a real problem in my experience unless the table contains a lot of los blocking terrain.

quasistellar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Well the codices that are OP get to break all the most important rules. wait are you telling me that advance and charge, fire and fade, redeploys, and extra cp for taking all the stuff you wanted anyway are good? Next you’ll tell me shooting out of flying transports with unvulns that cost less than 100 points is good.

Turn on alpha strikes is a real problem in my experience unless the table contains a lot of los blocking terrain. And there is the elephant in the room - lots of los blocking terrain It won't stop Drukhari being king of the hill but lots of terrain is key in 9th with smaller boards and your point about going 1st is also a very valid point. There were some stats done early in 9th that showed going 1st had a noticable advantage something like a 14% edge which only got exaggerated when there was a player skill difference. Drukhari are going to need some balancing but it's hard to judge because so few factions have an updated 9th codex, is it a codex creep issue or an effort move away from a marine based meta? Based on past experience it's codex creep but i will reserve judgement until we see a few more updated factions Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370092-drukhari-faq/#findComment-5693913 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Going first still has an advantage, even with wtc table layout. It's not as dramatic as before January's faq, but it's still a thing.
