Medjugorje Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) The entire thing for being a space marine? So much design changes? Or just we will loose almost everything in the index and getting so much new abilities/mechanics.?? I could imagine that a lot of Strats like emperors will are just for the new units -.... but then as special rule, not stratagem. I could imagine that even litanies work very different. I even could imagine that we will go ahead from Space marines much closer to SoB for example. Maybe we will have some retrictions like in the old days when Devastors are not allowed. I think thats normal. But all mechanics which are good on MArines will stay like they are. Just our things we are different to others will gone ( all what makes the INDEX special)... as usual. But from this perspective it seems that Devot push will be changing, maybe 5+++ litany and will of the emperor. But i dont expect a buff for our chaplains will be gone ... maybe Ancient breviary will be different but our chappies will be stronger then anyone elses I think. So thats not a full change... its just adapting some new rules instead of Index rules. Space Marines stay Space Marines..

Trignama Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Maybe the biggest takeaway is its just vastly different so you can't really pre plan for it Yeah, I mean I've been painting a wide breadth of primaris units in an attempt to cast a net and hopefully have units that will be good already painted and ready to go. Considering we will still be using the core marine book, I don't think this is too terrible of an approach. Hopefully the only things I'll need to paint will be the new characters, SB and Crusader Squads, with small additions based on rule set.

Medjugorje Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 hmmm I remeber that you said (not sure - maybe it was Laeroth) our supp wont be that strong. And as a more competitive gamer I dont want to play anything which have a very low chance to win against such dumb books like Admech and Co. Maybe I will be happy to have my main army for fungames and with new models lucky that GW doesnt forget about us. But I loved the 5th edition where my main army was competitive. And it would be really annoying to have a new book but cannot use it on tournaments even I would not complain about this book. (sorry for that but at the moment i am really p***** about Admech, new orks and stuff... its so insane stupid. The new books from SM and Necrons to DG seemed really nice but the new power creep is ... ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370962-black-templar-teaser-and-rumors/page/13/#findComment-5725554 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Laeroth Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Orcs are widely being considered by most top end competitive players to be much weaker than originally thought. Most battle reports I have seen are having them lose. Admech were reined in a little bit and Drukhari are definitely not as powerful, nor as plentiful, as they used to be because Admech are hard counters to them. We will still be competitive. Just differently.

Medjugorje Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) I was talking with Fritz "LTT" Peters (ETC Winner) and he played against the german team captain with new orks and he said it was desastrous - everything as hard as it was on paper. Maybe all your top-end player played Drukhari and Admech?. All BR i ´ve watched had really bad ork lists to be honest. So I think we will see how strong they will perform in future... But you are correct when Admech is still the biggest problem. They are stupid good,.. even after FAQ At the moment BT have two or three builds which can compete (not S Tier but lesser A Tier maybe) but all other kind of lists suck. In competitive gaming maybe the whole faction in averige will perform much better but our best lists are not as good as our current lists. Could be although I dont think it will happen. But SM Codex is not a competitve book anymore.

But SM Codex is not a competitve book anymore. This is, perhaps, where the "adapt" comes in. We saw something similar with SoB and their new codex. The combinations which enabled their best build were lessened while weaker were made stronger. Everything had to be re-evaluated.

Ishagu Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 (edited) The most important thing is model support, and I say this because the power level of factions rises and falls. Take Ultramarines for example. Right now they aren't close to top tier, and the Primarch Guilliman is over-costed and underpowered. I'm not overly upset about this because I know that a new supplement will eventually be released and the rules will be updated ( also I've got an AdMech army to fall back on :-P ). Once BT receive support in terms of new Primaris models, it basically guarantees that they won't be ignored or forgotten again when it comes to future updates. They'll be one of the main chapters again.

redmapa Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Once BT receive support in terms of new Primaris models, it basically guarantees thar they won't be ignored or forgotten again when it comes to future updates. They'll be one of the main chapters again. I think this is spot on and I dont think many realize what it means for the future, one example for this is Dark Angels where they had all their rules expanded on after their 4th edition codex and edition after edition its been GW building up on a set of rules that make up their identity, be it in the form of banners, company specialization/wings, relics, etc. things that after 6th edition they became much more prominent in their playstyle. Black Templars barely have something, we got more litanies? Thats it, this supplement could potentially, and hopefully, be the one that cements our identity in terms of rules for future codices where GW can just iterate on our rules like they do for the other armies. I'd love it if our supplement gave a new breathe of life into the SM codex but I think we will manage if we end up mid tier, we've been much lower than that and personally I've already squeezed blood out of the rock that was our previous rules to get something decent so getting mid tier rules is more than enough for me and Im willing to squeeze every possible advantage in the rules.

Dangerman Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I just get this feeling that when the pre-orders are announced and there are some good special edition stuff in a bundle I'll get in queue only to find out the bundle has sold out. I've kept the faith for 20 years since Codex Armageddon, even with what happened in 6th I was still here, give me some goodies GW! But yeah, with the last few pre-orders and their "queue" system, faith will be tested.
