Same aura so him and incubi generate 2 hits on 5 or 6's to hit, +1 to to hit. Has new leadership bonus -1 to LD. I'm really looking forward to using him, incubi are unchanged and good, this just makes them tons better Unfortunately, the Incubi's "Onslaught" stratagem specifies that the 6s have to be unmodified. It's a bit of a buzzkill, but the Incubi and Drazhar themselves are sweet. Can't wait to get my hands on them. _________________ Traverse the Webway with us! https://discord.gg/5yhRP7v

| Just won a auction for some Sister of Silence so I'll join the Incubi hype train with those | |

| I'm of the opinion that mandrakes are now just straight up better than Incubi. Can anyone chime in with something I'm missing? | |

| Incubi hit at higher strength, and are marginally more durable.
More durable in the way a piece of dry tissue paper is more durable than a wet one. _________________ Traverse the Webway with us! https://discord.gg/5yhRP7v

| You might have a point. I assume we're gonna get some neat Mandrake strategem. Have we seen 10 maybe ? Out of the 33 in the book. | |

| Wow Incubi are only strength 4. Well I'll be! They do hit at -3AP though, compared the Mandrake's new -2 in cc. I personally prefer Mandrakes anyway, and I'll be taking quite a few of them. _________________ Traverse the Webway with us! https://discord.gg/5yhRP7v

| yeah its certainly going to be tough to choose between mandrakes and incubi, those 2 units are pretty great, with their roles only varying slightly. | |

| I want to try screaming jets so bad. Deep strike some of my units right into my enemies faces. Be it blaster born, some Archon, shredder born, a big blob, grotesques (oh yeah! I'm so stoked that they are viable again! 4++, one more wound and one more ap? Yes please!) or what ever. | |

| 2 Razorflails, 1 shardnet for me. My opponent will weep when he can only roll a d3 to run away! | |

| Haha, yeah forcing your opponent to roll a d3 on No Escape is super trolly. I feel like we have a lot of new rules that might as well read: "Make a grown-ass adult cry". - CptMetal wrote:

I would be far more inclined to use Grots if I had better access to the models. Alas, my converting chops ain't good enough. That said, hoo boy do they look choppy now. _________________ Traverse the Webway with us! https://discord.gg/5yhRP7v

| I want to try most a proper DE raiding force. Synergic, coherent, fast and dangerous with nasty surprises. This whole dex is more than I dared to hope in terms of so many great options that I will be able to play each battle with differently built army, without compromising anything | |

| There's honestly an overwhelming number of lists I want to try - I've narrowed down my first, but there's just a never ending number of combinations that look fun! I don't really care if they're good, so long as they're fun!
Also the Archon and Succubus both seem like very deadly combatants, which is exactly what I was looking for! Stoked on that!
Grots look great - Once I've painted the rest of my army I'll definitely be giving them a whirl. | |

| @PartZebra I use crypt horrors from Warhammer fantasy. Slap those masks on them and add vials and stuff from the talos kit and you're good to go. | |

Aye, the trouble being that I have a very specific vision of how I want my Coven to look when I start them; no doubt I'll create a thread in due course once I decide to focus on them. Thanks for the suggestion though  For now, it'll be starting my Wych Cult and finishing my Kabal off. _________________ Traverse the Webway with us! https://discord.gg/5yhRP7v

Depends, if I can stack them more than 10 deep in a squad I'll aim for 100. A Tantalus, some Haemonculi, and a good ok fashioned doomseer should make it work. _________________ Really terrible videos about tiny plastic space elfs intended to help you get gud scrub: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcZP8WGIhte5TmCWQXsZO4A

| Well as i kinda expected a more generic Codex, that was more or less just a ripoff from the CWE codex, i got to say... Wow... the codex seems amazing, final judgement ofc first when get the codex and test it out, but... wow... just so much to try out. So what I'm the most excited for... Well looking at the codex it feels like i walked into a candy store, without enough money to buy everything... Guess Im just excited to build my first list with the codex and hear my opponent cry  Most likely going to start with a Kabal/Cult list, tho thats mostly because thats the units i got. | |

| I'm really excited to try a Flayed Skull Venom list. I can get a Dual Cannon Venom and a Blaster Kab squad for just five points more than I spend now on stock options for both. With 19" skimmers that ignore cover and reroll 1s? Oh boy, my opponent won't know what hit them.
I'm also going to try to Zerg Rush with Red Grief Reavers in an Outrider. Deploying them up front will get me into their deployment zone after one turn of movement, I'll probably be smashing into their backlines first turn.
It's a shame the HQs are still lacking mobility, but oh man, the rest of our stuff has sped up. _________________ "Death solves all problems. No man, no problem."

| Thinking very much along the same lines as you, I'll probably mix raiders and venoms in my list but definetly heavy emphasis on blaster warriors in transports to benefit from the flayed skull rules.
I only have 6 reavers but I'll definetly be trying them out with red grief, want to go up to 12 so I can really rush my opponent. _________________ The Night is Dark and Full of Terrors...

| I just don't even know how to build my army anymore.
Dissie Ravagers have amazing guns and are cheap as frak.
Scourges have great weapon selections and too be honest, the dark lance went from being the best weapon for them to the worst, except for splinter cannon which isn't even bad per say.
Mandrakes are amazing source of mortal wound shooting and were good before and now only cost 16 points.
Reavers are just way way better.
Deepstriking warrior squads..
Deepstriking tantalus party boat
Character spam
Ynnari allies
Craftworld Allies
Coven 4++ and grotesque/talos buffs.
19" inch moving venoms
Cheaper flying spam
Like wtf do I frak do? | |
