they changed horrors again??? I’m not sure what it was before. But now they have a full page data sheet with 4 different types of horrors. Blue, pink, brimstone, and iridescent. Iridescent sounds new , don’t remember them before. Oh there a sgt for pink. Ok. So. A lot of the rules seem to just be familiar. Nothing new new. The Exalted greater Daemons is cool. It reminds me like a C’tan. You can pick a extra trait, or roll twice. And then they can take a relic. like spell thief is one for the Exalted Lord of Change. And it seems powerful (someone posted it in this tread) but only one model will have that ability, unlike it being a stratagem. On top of that it takes 1cp to make a unit exalted. Similar to chief librarian or chapter ancient. other cool powers are; Blood thirst era can get a ability that allows them to not loose more than 8 wounds in a phase. And they have a relic which allows them to heal depending on the number of models it kills in close combat. A exalted unclean one can have a toughness of 8 or have an ability to range attack (vomit) that causes mortals. There is relic for them to heal 1 lost wound at the end of each PHASE in which it lost wounds. the exalted keeper has an ability to move 6” in Their opponent moral phase of a unit loose models to fleeing. with Necrons and marines getting new models not likely to start a new army. But these rules makes me kinda want to have some greater daemons to play with. Maybe next TTS tournament. |

Is the exalted great unclean one +1 toughness or straight T8?
(as this book was written according to 9th ed rules I'm wondering if this dashes hopes that all greater daemons will be T8 in the upcoming codex?)

Since you have the Engine war book, do you mind if I ask a question?
In your opinion, how are the AdMech Serberys cavalry guys? I plan to get some regardless as I love how they look, but want to know if I should get multiple, or just one.

Sorry to inform you. ” Bloated with Corruption: This model has a Toughness characteristic of 8. “ |

Since you have the Engine war book, do you mind if I ask a question? In your opinion, how are the AdMech Serberys cavalry guys? I plan to get some regardless as I love how they look, but want to know if I should get multiple, or just one. so the two units. 1st the raiders. 4+ 6++, T3 W3. Movement 12”. A max unit size of 9 with a power level of 6. They can move before the first turn and can target characters like snipers. (6 to wound = mortals). They have a range weapon 18” Assault 2 sniper rifle. And the alpha (sgt) has a 12” sniper revolver. (S5, Ap-2 D2). Their CC Weapons are okay ish. They have 2 weapons but only 1 attack. One weapon is ap-1 and the other gives you ap -0 but has 2 additional attacks. I see these guys as mobile snipers. No camo cloak but better movement. Capturing objectives or moving into position. 9th seems to be focusing on terrain to help moving around the board so that might help these guys out. With the movement of 12” and an assault sniper rifle gives you the ability to advance and shoot. There is a stratagem for them that allows them to fall back 12” instead of firing overwatch if they are charged. 2nd the fire breathers. The sulphur hounds. Same stats as the raiders. But for 9 guys the power level is 9. all their range weapons ignore cover and they can advance and fire pistols. And if an enemy is within 1” they get a debuff (the enemy) of -1 toughness. Their unique strat allows them to move max advance but count as stationary for the purpose of shooting. The unit is armed with 2 pistols each (S4, AP-1, D 1) and can take a special weapon that is like a 24” Burst cannon. these guys are cool. When 9th comes out and all units can outflank I can see people using these. But until then it might be hard to get into flamer range unless you have a full unit. The models are awesome. hope that helps. |
