so just go TL plasmas for the CFD suit? you say that there are other options for S5 spam but im pretty limited on fire warriors due to the amount im investing into the suits, sure i have the ethereal but the double attacks only work at half range

Yes, you can buy Crisis suits as individual units, but each unit fills an elite slot, and generally you only get 3 of those

Armies of nothing but crisis suits can be fragile, without other shit around they can be easily focus-fired and each of them is only as hard to kill as 2 space marines, or 1 if they're hit by S8

Not everybody is Carnac. The guy is easy to spot, but there are copycats who are too lazy to make their own gimmick persona. Carnac is literally "This one sentence bit of fluff means X Y and Z despite that never being said. What? You want proof of those things being true? WELL IT MAKES SENSE SO IT'S TRUE". The Person. He is also a walking spouter of logical fallacies. It's best to just ignore him. He'll get bored and go play Hearthstone or something eventually.

The FAQ on Facebook is a draft. It is not 'legal'. You must wait till it's officially released on GW's site before any of those rules officially apply. However, many people are obviously applying certain stuff written in FAQ anyway cause it's so unlikely to get removed.

Thing is, it isn't even official yet. It could change (thou some shit is so unlikely cause it's written in the fucking BRB, like grenades for example) and thus people should wait till GW release the final version.

Until then, people will just have their BP rise up as they read shit which thinks dooms their army when simply explaining to GW on their Normiebook page will make them work towards fixing it. There is also an email, an email I have been giving out to Ork players on /40kg/ to encourage them (and Nid/DE/GK/BA) players to explain why the codex isn't very good and how to fix it. Don't be rude. Just make it a polar opposite. Just explain how X or Y could be viable...

The email, as always, is automated reply, but they do read it. So send it them, be nice, make it well presented and reasoned. It's the only way to make change.

Here is email:

>>47097347
Yeah there's definitely going to be some changes (First draft yadda yadda, literally contradicts itself about ICs in the same squad manifesting the same power, etc.) but I think for the most part they are good changes and the player response FAQ is something direly needed in 40k.

>Tyranids got nerfed to shit
WHY

Monsters can no longer get covers saves from models smaller than them and not jinking monsters cant vector strike. All this means is that flyrants really are the ONLY worthwhile unit in the codex but now they're COMPLETELY fucked over by ap3 skyfire weapons.

At least skyfire is harder to come by n- wait, psychic powers with no profile no longer need to roll to hit? never mind.

Because the interpretation was wrong. I ran multiple relics on my BA Captain. I pretended he was Brother Seraphan. Gave him Valour's Edge, Fury of Baal, Angelic Visage, Vitas Verdie and the Jet Pack. Stuck him in some Sanguinary Guard and played non-S8AP2 armies of my friends.

Malefic daemons are pretty much impossible for any non-top tier codex to even have a prayer of removing more than ten models from the board. I just asked if I could start swapping summoning/possession/incursion for cursed earth instead to cut back on the impossible-to-deny-infantry-spawning.

Frankly I'd prefer if cursed earth was the primaris anyhow. It's what you want out of your malefic rolls to make your army usable without being broken, but you're forced to take summoning when you roll up a possession/infernal gaze/dark flame that you have no use for.

It was unclear at best. I thought that intervening models rule would at the very least give warriors a cover save if behind gaunts, who cover half of them.

But no, 25% only applies to terrain and it if a model is just a little bit taller than the models in front they can just 'shoot over'.

I actually just won a bid for a Skaarac recast that I'm going to be using my spare thirster bits to turn into a D Thirster stand-in. This FAQ had me tickled pink with FMCs arriving gliding because Thirsters are just about the only FMC in the game that wants to be in assault primarily, and as such they were the only one that suffered from the turn delay. But all that is past now.

Daemons have more WC than anybody between greater daemons, princes, horrors, and heralds.

>>47097776
Well to be fair, in that case you rolled possession on the unit and made the conscious choice to not swap for summoning because you either don't want it or already had it. So paradox for possession isn't all that bad a trade (though you're likely only making it when you're way out ahead) when you've basically just spent 75 points for a D Thirster.

I'm going to have to ask for more clarification then. How obcsured is obscured.

Neither of these are true. Grounding has a high enough S to Instant kill it, but it still has to /fail/ the grounding test, and then it has to flunk the ++/+++, too.

Tau's best fliers are Forge World. And now the FAQ has clarified that the Y'Vahra can get 2D6 overwatch hits from wall-of-deathing with its torrent weapon while still overwatching with the other hand /and/ confirming that the torrent weapon can hit fliers/FMC with skyfire. So our best semi-flier got even better.

Before, it simply didn't work, because the rules didn't allow the GMC to die to tank shock, and it didn't allow it to move while anchored, and it didn't allow the tank to stop. Tank shock resulted in a divide-by-zero case where the best solution is for the tank to stop short and deal D3 wounds instead of instant death.

FAQ allows the anchored SS to dodge tankshock, though. With a specific note that Tank Shock was never intended to kill.

Is it though? there was always the clause in there for shooting over intervening models not providing a cover save.

If anything this is a buff to intervening models cause you don't have to be 25% obscured. Any obscurement will do.
