Necrons I already wrote a full summary about.
I beat Vehicle-heavy Astra Militarum. I think I offhandedly mentioned it and I was going to do a full write-up...But then I didn't.
I beat a very poorly put together Sororitas list... I'm convinced it has something to do with the lack of multi-damage weapons.
Then I beat Tyranids. My opponent apparently not realising that targeting Characters has been changed. You can target Characters if the unit in front of them only has 2 models. It's a big change.

All of my opponents have described themselves as 'casual.' The Tyranid player was upset via his loss. Because he believed he shouldn't have lost because he didn't know the rule, and as such we shouldn't have been playing with the rule...Umm...No. It's in the rulebook. I didn't make it up.

In every game, I have taken:
Engage on all Fronts
Deploy Scramblers
Oaths of Moment
...as my Secondaries. Nothing ever changes, because why would I?

In more recent news, Inceptors got nerfed, so, 160 - 40 + 15 = 135 Points.
So now I have 25 Points to play with.

Disgustingly Resilient changing was going to be divisive. On the whole, I feel it was necessary to deal with the +1W, and it's certainly terrifying to face, but I get why people would be upset.

When you realise that 2- and 3-Damage weapons wont work against Death Guard, there's going to be massive fallout. It's almost game-breaking, and makes them better than Custodes in certain ways - especially their Terminators.

But Death guard getting only one non-psyker HQ per detachment?

But in most cases you aren't going to be taking more than 2 Characters anyway, and one of them should be a Psyker. So I don't know what the problem is.

Removing obsec from Cultists is also dumb. What are cultists for if not to sit in the back and chant on an objective?

It's not. Because it's GW.
They don't want you using Cultists so give them a nerf.
They do - mostly - want you using Poxwalkers.
