This actually sounds amazing so far. Like... actually exciting.

Bonus CP, multiple warlords? Although obviously the bonus CP is just to make up for what you'd lose making them a battalion etc. If our HQ's are actually good I'm really excited. I'm also 100% sure we won't get a cheap HQ option. It would be absolutely broken.

Love it. Teenage Angst should be able to chill out a little tonight. Perhaps.

Bonus CPs for patrol detachments. 1CP to give a warlord trait to a succubus AND a haemie, whilst running an actual Archon Warlord with a trait too? I'm most definitely happy with that

Well Tournaments adjust to new rules coming out. They will do the same here. If its a Drukhari army it can have up to 8 patrol detachments. Easy.

This is exactly what I hoped yesterday. Being able to field thematically 3 leaders is so cool. Amd just like in Battlefleet Gotic the drukhari are represented by multiple smaller detachments.
Love it.

shiiiiiiit. If we don't get a way to get around the 3 detachment limit, this is going to suck.

I'm away from book. Isn't the 3 detachment limit labeled a reccomendation in the book?

Was hoping to take DE to the London GT in May but they have a rule about no duplicate detachments so Raiding Force is no use Sad

It's a requirement for matched play.

I see possible greatness from this article. It will be interesting to see what they do with the free agent thingy with the incubi.

This is actually very exciting. It even looks like they tried to do something cool. Of course, we all know it's impossible, but it's a pleasant thought.

I want to think that in the March global FAQs they will include some notes about it.

I will most assuredly have to listen in to "Signals from the Frontline" Wednesday. because there are more issues than just saying Drukhari can take up to 8 patrol detachments. Right now the min point expenditure for that is 594. Now, can we still take a craftworld detachment, or an Ynnari? How about another Drukhari brigade? On the strict side if you use this rule you can only have Patrol detachments of Drukhari meaning we can never break 11 CP.

What I would like is your entire army must be Drukhari, All patrol detachments count as one detachment for for the purpose of the 3 detachment limit.

I'm super stoked for this. As I mentioned in the other thread, it's important to note that this is just an option for building your list. The article hints that there are incentives for not utilising Raiding Force.

And that stratagem is pretty cool tbh.

Really cool that 1cp stratagem is exactly what i wanted for how i imagined my raidfing party. Three sisters (conversioned) leading the Pirates of the Black Faith... Nyx (archon), Hecate (succubus) and Nemesis (hemy) the crazed worshipers of darkness now each with her own warlord trait...!
Im stocked!!!!

There's nothing to suggest that you need to take an entire Drukhari army and that goes against the whole design of the game for 8e. All we need is some sort of special dispensation to break the 3 detachment limit.

I've been operating under the assumption that even for matched play the 3 detachment thing was a suggestion, not a hard limit. Is that not the case?

I know a lot of tournaments have strict detachment requirements, but that's basically a house rule (and hopefully they'll be flexible about us)...

Anyways - this all looks very exciting. I'm excited!

Yes, the detachment limit is a hard rule just like the Half army in reserve rule and limit one use on strategems per phase.

I have to wonder if there is a simple and clean way to allow raiding force to work without the risk of it becoming solely a CP farm for other eldar lists.

I'm hyped. I hope we'll get a big point reduction on our HQ, though. Or else, it'll come very expensive to have 3-8 patrols detachment (HQ)

I really think 3 patrols will be a solid way to run DE. We can safely assume at least some of our characters will get a boost/pts reduction, and 3 characters really isn't overspending on characters considering it's only one more character than a battalion detachment. 3 characters and 3 troops will unlock 4 cps and 6 slots each for elite/fa/hs, and even 6 fliers if you really wanted to run that many. Seems like a solid deal to me.

Off to a good start, as I can deploy my bunch of disparate raider gangs the way I envisioned them when I first started the army - a gathering of various forces, each bringing their own approach to battle along the way.

Very excited!

Raise the sights, the city lights are calling
We're hot tonight, the time is right, there's nitro in the air
In the street is where we'll meet, we're warning
On the beat, we won't retreat, beware!

Totally going to run a triumvirate! Nihilus the Archon, Sion the Haemonculus, and Traya the Succubus.

Question about it, I may have misread it, but only the Archon counts as the warlord? Or would they need to kill all 3 to get slay the warlord. I only had a brief look at it before I got into work.

The stratagem only works if the Archon is the Warlord, and the stratagem counts the Succubus and Haemi as warlords insofar that they get warlord traits; i.e. they don't count towards Slay the Warlord etc.

Only the archon counts as the warlord for the purpose of killing the warlord. The succubus/heamonculus only count as a warlord for the purpose of giving each of them a warlord trait. Whether the stratagem is actually worth it or not will depend on what our traits are, but considering daemons got 6 traits per daemon faction I think it's entirely possible we'll get 6 traits each for kabal/cult/coven, and out of that many traits we'll have to have at least a few solid ones.

edit: beaten to the punch..
