Warhammer 40K Tabletop Thread XLIII: "This Is A New LoW For Us All"

[DrakeRaids]

The Talons, the joint sisters and custodes detachment is probably decent.

Their index detachment got gutted but is probably still playable.

The other two detachments are pretty bad.

Assuming that devastating wounds protection is errata'd into the codex in Talons and Shield host they'll probably be playable but much worse. Survivability has gone down across the board and the real kicker is that most of their hq options have gotten much worse aside from the Allarus Captain.

There are some neat combos you can build around, I'm a fan of unshootable fights first vigilators and bonus strength and pen guard shooting twenty times, but they're much more vulnerable to good shooting themselves now. They probably still punk melee armies even without fight first.

Wardens are still the best unit in the book by a good margin.
