I mean is it only 5+ for troops and 6+ for others or does it go up to 4+ and 5+ when night fighting is on ?

With the loss of haywire I think wyches aren't worth it and even with a 1 pt decrease I don't think warriors are that good. I don't think giving warriors (and their transports) objective secured is not worth as much as having more fast attack choices.<br /><br />I look forward to your further reviews to see your view. Your codex reviews are always very good.<br /><br />RathstarRathstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799690336241322474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-61761043714313930232014-10-07T15:06:53.108+01:002014-10-07T15:06:53.108+01:00Nice to read a well written review that's not ...Nice to read a well written review that's not all doom and gloom.<br /><br />After a brief look through the 'dex The Armour of Misery strikes me as a good buy for a succubus (no restrictions on which Artefact she takes)....admittedly it breaks from the fluff but its cheap and gets her a save outside of combat. Plus it's worth noting - the armour's -2 ld applies to ALL enemy units without the exception to ATSKNF like the Archangel etc.... not game changing but it will have some nice situational uses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-75640699560909139892014-10-07T08:31:34.477+01:002014-10-07T08:31:34.477+01:00Dark Lances are no longer needed.

First they lost the ability to take three Dark Lances in a Warrior Squad. Still, the Venom and the Baron and some other stuffs (Trueborn) kinda made up for it.<br />Now...now they were just given a swift kick in the nuts.<br />Wyches with no access to Haywire grenades just made wyches ABSOLUTELY POINTLESS.<br /><br />Sigh.<br />Everybody back to spamming Wave Serpents.

However with every army release things change and it takes a while for things to settle down. I get the impression all the books released for 7th are balanced against each other and the days of the power dex's may he over (once eldar, tau and demons get redone). I enjoyed reading your thoughts and appreciated that you did not get negative over it. It is so hard when an army that you are attached to changes its style and is seen as being bad. I am a DE player as well as a space wolf one and both have been a bit of a shock, although my reaction to the sw dex was one of joy, this one not so much so far.NafNafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788927908701998169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-80579286954428876612014-10-06T21:00:35.503+01:002014-10-06T21:00:35.503+01:00Hey, Heavy Bolters have got to be useful for somet...Hey, Heavy Bolters have got to be useful for something, right?<br /><br />The whole idea of looking to detachments and formations for effective ways to use an army aren't unique to DE by any means though, it seems to be more of a trend in the 7th ed codexes. Orkz seems fairly lacklustre when taken at face value (going off what people have said, my experience using the army is 0), but are improved immensely from a competitive point of view with the use of some of the formations that came in the codex or the accompanying supplement. Equally, GKs aren't particularly great when using the standard FOC, but gain a lot more options when using their faction-specific detachment.<br /><br />GW seem to be turning more to the detachments and formations to give armies back some of the unique flavour they have lost in the standard army lists in the more recent books.<br /><br />Back to DE though, they're always gonna suffer the problem of being a paper thin army reliant on speed as their first line of defence, in a game where speed isn't much of a defence at all.Arclighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405116393377981888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2320541665600624608.post-65250959675493905232014-10-05T21:58:10.106+01:002014-10-05T21:58:10.106+01:00Well it doesn't sound like a total loss, but I...Well it doesn't sound like a total loss, but I had a quick look through it last night, and I fail to see how this army is gonna win with any kind of consistency. The 5th Edition book was much better, and it still wasn't anywhere near top-tier competitive.<br />T3 bodies flying around in paper-thin transports? An entire army that can pretty much be wiped out with Autocannons and heavy bolters?<br />The 5th Edition DE Codex was -decent-, nothing more.<br />Now take everything that made the book decent out, and add random charge lengths and Overwatch fire.<br /><br />You know a Codex is bad when people are looking for Detachments and Formations to make something viable.<br />Dark Angel fans rejoice. Your book is no longer the bottom of the barrel.<br />;)SinSynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352693991857976930noreply@blogger.com
