Not much here in writing, but some big things by implication

Hypex gives 3" with Agile Hunters

Fixes to secondary obj scoring

Animus Vitae actually has to hit something to trigger its ability

Reavers cost 20 pts per model, but heat lances are now free


What it doesnt say, and therefore can be assumed to work as intended

-2CP bonus for running exclusively patrol detachments

-taking of non sub faction models in detachments of the other subfaction is gtg (ie you dont need to take a whole Kabal detachment or realspace raid just to get a Ravager, it just wont get an obsession)

Gotta wait out on the book of rust FAQ to see how competitive edge gets ruled

ya this looks like they did a quick run down of stuff. It is definitely the Book of Rust that has the larger issues in terms of balance.

[Jack Shrapnel]

book of rust has the biggest offenders in it... well other than dark technomancer liquifier spam... I somehow think that will be recitifed in the next point update with chapter approved though if it stays a problem for long.

I'd like to say that I didn't expect supplement books to add a whole host of balance problems like they have every other time they've added them to the game but.... you know... at least GW is consistent?

Heat lances are not free for Reavers though, they said "change the following" and changed the points for blasters to bring them in line with the rest so that they're actually a choice now over the lances.

IMHO they really need to stop doubling down on narrative additions as matched play valid.....not to mention the whole Cult of Strife supplement makes 0 sense. Half the stratagems and 2 of the relics should have just been regularly available and not locked behind a specific sub-sub faction. Why is the only upgradeable Sgt equivalent a Strife Hekatrix....its so weirdly specific.

Seen on the heat lances....at first blush it looked like "replace entry" but your right they just tweaked the cost of 3 things.

Can we stop putting competitive items in campaign supplements? I'm really getting tired of it to be honest, especially when so few armies have books this edition.

[Jack Shrapnel]

...or you know, maybe can we hold off on campaign supplements until EVERYONE gets a 9th edition book?

or does that make too much sense?

Ya pre covid the release schedule was heat. Like dark angles were supposed to be out at christmas. Dark eldar first week of Jan.

We will luck to get half codexs out by end of 2021 at this rate.
