Points updates, the app, and general questions

[Inquisitor_Lensoven]

So I haven’t really paid attention to the new points, the points have been updated to the app already?

my guard list doesn’t seem to have changed in my app. Guess that some things going up and some going down could have been a net neutral for my list but just double checking.

 

if TCs have gone up 20pts is the demolisher still the best chassis to take them on?

The last points updated was back in October.  My app has it right as far as I can tell, have you checked your app version?

As far as TC, Demolisher is still the only choice because you're paying even more now, so you HAVE to make the points back if you're using it for shooting, which you are since it's ordering itself now.

Always play what you find fun, but Demolisher is still Best in Slot for main weapon.  If you're running regular LR, Vanquisher is pretty solid for what you're paying.

But Dorn TC in upcoming codex might change things, as points will change then most definitely.  Figure January.

Pretty often the app update actually tends to be available a few hours before the article drops. Might need to manually force it though, doesn't always download automatically right away.

Next update is points and rules, due soon (December they said)

 

So should be quite a large list of changes.

Legends cull far greater than expected

[DemonGSides]

Far less than expected. I didn't think a single thing was surviving. 

 

Cyclops surviving is actually kinda clutch. Great way to spend 25 pts leftover with the current stupid way points are done.

As a new user to New Recruit, how long does their team usually take to do updates?

 

Bummed about the Legends units but oh well, Ill use them anyway.  I know my Krieg blobs are going to love the mech infantry detachment coming out a Gorgon in an opponent's face. While I know engineers have scout, 10 in a Hades drill look pretty tasty at first glance in a siege detachment(I am aware that its not a transport). I cant see myself using 5 though when 10 is an insanely better value for the points. Although, three units of 5 in Centaurs is a cool possibility especially in mech detachment. Might be overkill given the use of the strat.

 

What weird selections of FW items to keep. The Vulture is the classic ground support aircraft for the Guard that everyone loves the look of... so we will keep the Avenger instead.

I think New Recruit is pretty quick. I would expect by end of week if not next week, but I don't remember how quickly BA got updated so I could be off base.

Well, my legends collection just increased by several thousand points. Hurrah. It’s actually not going to derail my plan to finish my marauder bomber, but I really wish GW would allow one “relic” unit per list in official tournament play. Not many of them were competitive, but it was thematic as heck for your guardsmen to roll up to the battle with a plane/tank/alternative formation that their home planet has jealously guarded and meticulously cared for centuries.

Really comes down to the TO on that I think. Its easier for them to just blanket statement and say no Legends though. I 100% agree though and this isnt going to be stopping me from bringing my three different legends vehicle types in my lists, especially now that we have infantry worth fielding in them.
