Elvatuar Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Has anyone yet played using the new dataslate? How bad is the drop in miracle dice in practice? How does this affect various detachments, say, Army of Faith?

NKirkham24 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The nerf to miracle dice is enormous, and that was one of the main mechanics that allowed us to punch up with melta being our strongest weapon. As usual with GW, double dip on the nerf bat with points and the hammer to miracle dice. I think we’ll plummet in win rate til the next slate and they’ll reverse the miracle dice change. I’ve switched to Deathwatch for now with index coming back.

Sume Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I'll get a chance to see how bad the miracle dice nerf is this weekend at the Las Vegas Open.

We won't get a chance to see it if no-one runs Sisters at the event, which paradoxically would mean GW wouldn't get any results telling them the change is too much...

Sume Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I think I am one of the few Sister players for the narrative event. I was going to switch to Imperial Agents but decided to stay on track with sisters.

Sume Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I think for the doubles narrative there was 4 Sisters players. I was the only one that brought a more traditional list. One was heavy tanks, with warglaives, one had a bunch of sacrants and the last one was a pentient host. I am not sure how all they faired. I found 1 w t3 models pretty lack luster as 4 out of the 5 games was against walls of tanks and Knights/warglaives.

Hopefully the presence of actual data showing the nerf to miracle dice was too much will make GW change that in the next balance dataslate.

Its not just that thou, past three updates sisters have had points hikes to almost everything, every single time. its been crazy, and yet necrons have avoided almost anything, and there still on top, its a joke...

Sume Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I know I ran into some of the other Sister players at the LVO narrative event. As opponents were asking about all the point hikes and nerfs. No one seemed to like the new miracle dice change, and how I guess game changing it was to take out all of the randomness. For an army that got the nerf bat before players even got the book was a shame. Sad that most sister units cost the same or slightly less than the Space Marine equivalent and the Marines function so much better. After the LVO me and my friend decided that we wanted to go to more narrative events but the Sisters are staying shelved.

NKirkham24 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 As suspected then. Disappointing though, they've just been far too heavy handed with the faction. I'm sure it'll revert back but frustrating they nerfed us so you LVO experience was that. Overall the meta is pretty decent with everyone near the goldilocks zone, but top to bottom is a massive swing Emperor Ming 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384798-the-end-and-the-death-new-dataslate/#findComment-6091880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
