Talos/Cronos gaining fly is amazing!

Hey look, they settled the exploding Ossefactor question. RIP to multiple Alliances of Agony, as well.

Interesting minor nerf to Flayed Skull, too.

The infinite CP spam is dead.

You can't put Flayed Skull kabalites in a Black Heart raider and reroll to hit anymore.

Raider party is unusable in tourneys.

Exploding wound ossefactor is dead.

And it seems that Labyrinth Cunning can only grant you 1 CP per stratagem ?



But the lhaemeans mortal wound factory is still alive and kicking !

... ... ... ... ... ... Why do I suddenly have an image of a talos holding on to a Razorwing jetfighter so it can smack an enemy flyer as they fly by? And another of this "slow" monster looking up and deciding it wants to float up to a passing jet going supersonic and engage it in close combat (because woo it can now charge flyers!) , ... Honestly that's how I figured they intended Flayed skull to be.

All they changed on Labrinthian Cunning was the warlord has to be on the table it's still phrased to roll per command point spent.

Labyrinthine cunning is still per point spent. It just changed to say "whilst warlord is alive" to clarify that he has to be on the board.

According to this, you can only play 2/3/4 copies of the same unit (excluding troops and transports) in a matched game (for 1000/2000/up).

So RIP court of the archon, you can only have 3 sslyths in a 2000pts game.

No, just you can't use the trait to gain CP before the battle.
Big indirect nerf to the Raiding Force. Now a battalion gives 5CP ...

Ossefactor RIP

I had the hope to se a FAQ giving the rule of character to the Court again.

It's actually better that they aren't, thanks to the character targeting rules changing. If they were characters opponents would be able to snipe your Archon straight through them.

They've made the raiding party virtually null. I play at 1500 points most of the time, and even then I'll be at a 2/3 CP disadvantage every game if I take the raiding party. At 2000 it's entirely impossible to run a raiding party because of the massive CP disadvantage. Honestly this is shocking. We had a good 2 weeks of fun and flavour, I guess...

Well, it's going to be pretty much absurd to play our 3 factions in the same army. Now I think the wisest thing to do is play a battalion + a vanguard/outrider.

They should FAQ the courtand the beast rules to not count to the number of datasheets neither.

The easiest way to run all three factions will be to have a Ynnari detachment alongside a Covens one.

Absolutely bizarre, but there you go. At least it looks like Yvraine can take the Helm of Spite for a bonus superpowered deny.

What am I missing in the FAQ that makes it harder to run our army?? I mean is a blackheart spearhead, flayed skull batallions, cult of strife batallions illegal now? If so how? Am I failing hard at reading comprehension?

I think that 2 battalions could and other 1CP detachment could be viable.

i hope se soon another FAQ to our codex fixing some things that doesn't appear on this, like the stratagem Agents of Vect.

Our codex celebrates two weeks of release this weekend, so i'll be waiting...

I think that IS our FAQ. I doubt theres another one.

Is it even legal ? You can't run an army using the "Aeldari" keyword anymore...

Edit : My bad, it's legal. You just can't use those keywords in the same detachment.

Ynnari detachments count as Craftworlds/Drukhari/Harlequin detachments now, so a Ynnari/Covens list could actually be a pure Drukhari army.

Run the 3 subfactions together has the same difficulty being ynnari or drukhari. Nothing stops you to mix cults and kabals in the same detachment , you will lose the obsessions, like if you mix them in a ynnary detachment.

But now, the ynnari soup has over, you can't use the kabalite warriors as cheap troops in a detachment full of craftworld units just because they are all ynnari.

Well what a surprise no more spamming alliance of agony for extra cps, people had that to mess around with for a whole week..

Giving the talos/cronos the fly keyword is a welcome addition, no tying them up with chaff.

Well I sure am glad they delayed releasing this FAQ. It was totally worth the wait. All the extra effort just drips off it.

I can't say I am enthusiastic about this FAQ. It seems they completely forgot about the mechanics of the faction they released most recently.

I like that.

You now cannot run multiple battalion detachments of cabals, coven, or cults unless you use named characters. Cannot have 4 Archons, ect.
