Wait, the archon has to be on the battlefield for the CPs back roll... Does that mean if he's in a transport we can't roll?

I had a list I thought was really fun and really strong. It used all of my favorite models, and I was finally happy with DE flavour and playstyle. The Codex was 95% in my eyes.
It also used Raiding Party.

Now people who have no idea about DE are telling me that it's totally fine to run the standard detachments. The fact that most subfactions have no more than 5 units for some reason doesn't matter...

See, whilst the FAQ is stupid and a pain, there was some terrible design in the codex that set us up for this.
- Archons having to be on the field would be fine if they could take Wings/Jetbikes
- Being limited to 2 of each HQ would be okay if each subfaction wasn't limited to a pathetic 1 non-special-character HQ.

The Court thing is just moronic, though.

Pretty much we're going to have to used combined arms and mixed subfactions at 1500-2000+ to avoid the tourney tax. It's a small price to pay to avoid spam from other armies, because we're able to field what we like decently anyway. I'd say we can off pretty well aside from the Raiding Party nonsense.

We're being incentivised to play with more troops and transports, and we're a mechanized force that does that exact thing anyway. Agreed on the Court aspect as well, we should be able to field what we like on that front.

Well crap. I just got a Farseer Skyrunner as an HQ for my Outrider detachment, since Drukhari have no HQ that even remotely keeps up with my Reavers. That's 26 euro's down the drain, because now I am suddenly not allowed to use it anymore. :/

So what it's worth: The limited datasheets per army is listed under the "recommendations for organized events." Now for those who do play in tournaments or have gaming groups that strictly abide by tournament rules, I am sorry. :/ All I can say is I hope it ends up impacting the tournament lists most people hate to see more than the one's we want to field.

I just felt like it should be made clear just in case that those rules are not listed under the official match play rules that anyone using matched play should be using.

For Ynnari... All the models gain Ynnari, so they can still have a mixed detachment... So I don't see why you wouldn't be able to run Kabalites and Dire Avengers in the same Detachment...

Thats stupid lol

Keep in mind guys those are BETA rules, not officially in use yet, just out for experimenting. It would be annoying to see them implemented, but can't be sure they will be.

Aeldari and Ynnari don't count as sharable faction keywords now, so Kabalites and Dire Avengers wouldn't make a legal detachment because they don't have any keywords in common.

If they gain Ynnari, they share Ynnari... Right?

The new Battle Brother rule reads;

Quote :: All of the units in each Detachment in your Battle-forged army must have at least one Faction keyword in common. In addition, this keyword cannot be Chaos, Imperium, Aeldari, Ynnari or Tyranids, unless the Detachment in question is a Fortification Network. This has no effect on your Army Faction.

~~Interestingly that looks like it's preventing Genestealer Cult and Tyranid lists, which I didn't notice before. No more Guard/Cult/Tyranid lists!~~

I know, but for tournaments it will be used and i was thinking of running more of them, and as mostly kabals, will just go with my 2nd list then.

Ugh, ignore me. Getting confused between detachment and army restrictions.

I am happy except for Raiding Party being obsolete and our very narrow stable of HQ choices.

yes you can. It’s per detachment.

I think they were referring to using it as the HQ for a Reaver Outrider. Which is now illegal. So, now that detachment requires a succubus, and to run the Farseer, you have to dedicate an entire detachment and a command point.
