Drukhari Kill Team Preview

https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/07/12/12th-july-kill-team-focus-drukharigw-homepage-post-1/

Seems we are stuck with just Kabs and Wyches.

everyone gets 4-5 options and we get the 2 basic troop choices... nice

But literally any kit comes with customization options! You can paint two thin coats in your toilet with the excitement!

genestealers are available and even tyranid warriors, but wracks inicubi mandrakes are too much to ask? nice
back in to the good old days when dark eldar were "so op"

Flipping LICTORS are acceptable, but we get naught

Two troop options? No IncubI? No Mandrakes, who's lore is basically a copy paste of the objectives of a kill team? No Scourges? Hell, even Hellions would be a pretty cool addition.

If we're going to be limited to two kits, couldn't they at least call them Trueborn or Bloodbrides?

Stop asking perfectly logical questions and hand over more money.

I would assume most DE players have Kabalites or Wyches. So unless you are a converter you probably aren't buying anything new. If they wanted you to "shut up and give them money" than they would've added Incubi, Mandrakes, and Hellions. (Espesially Incubi and Mandrakes and how they are resin and probably wanna get rid of them)

I honestly see it as more of a lack of clarity on GWs part on what to add for us (or they are holding stuff back from us), and hopefully they'll give us more later.

when was the last time you got anything but disappointment?

Whens the last time you looked at out codex?

On Facebook they are alluding to more releases. I also hope they include wracks, scourges, incubi, mandrakes etc.

And plenty of threads proving that in spite of the shortcomings, it was a better than expected improvement.

Perhaps you should try a different army if you feel that there is nothing but disappointment

This might actually be the perfect excuse to paint up the raging heroe models we all should be fielding.

"Oh no our dex isn't flawless whatever will we do? It's not like people are absolutely terrified of us now and we are winning tournaments. We absolutely aren't generating enough hate with some of our abilities that we may surpass Tau in how much people hate us!"

It's adorable that you think our dex isn't great. We are going to receive nerfs in the next chapter approved with how powerful we are.

Your right If you wanna put in the effort to make your killteam special there is a lot of fun that can be had for us, and raging heroes models are lovely.

this is it, the codex is so perfectly powerful it becomes bland in my opinion
congrats we are ultramarines now

No Mandrakes means I will not be playing my Drukhari in kill team. I am not that interested in Kill Team anyway, not with Titanicus coming out soon. The box may be a good deal depending on the terrain if you can find a use/buyer for the skitarii and Genestealer Cultists.

Also, are there still people that thing our codex is not amazing and not easily top 3 of the current crop of books? We are probably going to get reamed pretty hard in September/October when Chapter Approved hits, we are doing EXTREMELY well in major tournaments, especially with Alatoic allies.

Well, better than Harlequins I guess.


Their preview just dropped, and its ONLY Players (basic unit).

I'm hoping weapon options will be fully available, as kabalites should be good with shredders maybe even splinter cannons, while wyches will be scary fast.

They are obviously hoping to give this further support, so they are probably holding back some model rules/releases.

Bit of a downer though, was hoping to run wracks with a cool healing stratagem.

With full weapons options kabalites and wyches provide a number of options comparable to 4-5 nids options.
Not having wracks sucks, and i hope they expand into other options.
But acting like the nids 5 unit choices gives them twice the number of playable options is dishonest.

what if the nids also get their full customisation options, warriors and genestealers have several very different loadouts for different playstyles

Necrons getting Flayed Ones feels like it's taking the piss a bit. They're resin models just like Mandrakes.

Not to mention. Tau getting stealth suits to remind us that we could totally have finally had a place to field hellions....

Warriors yes, though they are very expensive bases. And we don't know how many they can take.
Genestealers though? They have multiple options listed, but none of them are nearly as meaningful as wych weapons.
Its like saying that guants getting spinfists as an option is the same as warriors getting shredders.

gaunts getting devourers seems more appropriate?
