Expand Not so much arguing for the system we have now as I do like poring over the points values, but to be fair, having a unit cost 165 points is a bit more granular than power level 9 or something. And it does make it much quicker to set up a list for a casual game. It's a compromise of sorts. It is silly though that a squad with just lasguns costs the same as a squad with a plasma pistol, meltagun, heavy weapons team and a vox. The system is the system now though, so yeah.

Expand Yes, it would be far better if we could take, say, a squad of 6 intercessors if we wanted to without the massive points handicap. Although in a casual game, it's easy enough to just pay the points for 1 and 1/5 of a squad, if that's OK with your opponent.

Expand To be fair, when people are talking about contents, value, usability, etc... of a box, "tabletop usage context" does matter for the folks who play the game. These are very expensive luxury goods that people want to have an idea of how many real dollars they'll need to spend to be able to get on the table, and also understand effectiveness so they're not getting curbstomped every game. Some tongue in cheek gests alongside going over the points about how screwed up 10th's system of balancing those factors for "tabletop usage context" mentioned above is certainly merited at least for as long as it's left as a quick gest and used to contextualize options and opinions when kept civil.

TheArtilleryman Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Apologies for any off-topic from me. I'm not the worst but I know I've contributed to it. TLDR of my (relevant) views: Krieg boxed set is nice, models are nice, particularly the artillery. I prefer many of the 3rd party deathriders I've seen though and I'm not sure about the legs on the horses. Nice that they've not just put ordinary horses in though cos I've always thought they'd be wrong for a 40k battlefield. Set is good as an add-on to an existing army but not as a core force imo because it needs more infantry. This would be fine if the planned combat patrol wasn't built along the same lines and there was a platoon of Krieg infantry in it. Guard players need better-value ways of getting hold of lots of infantry, which they won't have anymore without this. Price is standard to what we've seen with other sets. Feels a little on the expensive side, but then doesn't it always.

And I'm glad they published this today, not next week when people had bought the Solar Auxilia tanks that are going up for preorder this weekend. The Krieg army box has gone up from 310 in the codex to 405. Their heavy weapons teams are 75 points, compared to 50 for Cadian or Catachan. Death riders being more expensive than Attillans seems particularly weird to me, but I guess I'm no expert on 40k so we'll see.

DemonGSides Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 If GW simply let Legends units exist in their App it'd solve this weird dichotomy they have where they say to play them, but sock them away in places to never be seen.
