Long time no see...

Hey guys!!

Dang, I was gone for a few months and what happened? The whole forum was gone.
Well, moved, at least. And hard to find...

Anyways, glad to be back.

Unfortunately, it's not very lively in here. Lots of people seemed to be put off by the 10th ed DE index.

Ah, the index isnt that bad. Ok, it plays very, well, veeery different from 9th, but its not as bad as 7th.
I always liked my Kabalites, so maybe its just me. But lots of spikey, poisonous hardcore SM elves in floating boats?
It just rocks.

Personally, I think that all splinter weapons should have 1 higher S (S3 for rifles/pistols/etc, S4 for cannons), so that they can at least wound bikes on a 5+. anti-infantry 3+ is not bad, but wounding things like bikes on 6s sucks.

That leaves our Shredders for them. Are Bikes that common nowadays?

I'm not sure. So far, I've only played in a 10th edition narrative league. I played Ynarri, and used a unit of shroudrunners and a unit of windriders (with a warlock attached). I did play against an ork army that used a squad of bikes. I suspect that at least some armies use them for board control.

I just think that it is stupid that splinter weapons need 6s to wound mounted infantry, and it's not like increasing their puny S by 1 will affect their ability to hurt infantry, or improve their chances against vehicles. or monsters (which they *used* to be able to wound on 4+).

Keep in mind that, at the moment, DE are apparently dead last in the competitive meta. So changes like this aren't too much to ask for. Frankly, we need more. Incubi need their old S back. Wyches need a bit more offensive power.
