CORRECTION: Necron reanimator is 80pts now, not 90 – sorry, got my wires crossed on that one! And sorry about the weird audio in a few places in the vid, think it should be fixed for future vids
From those changes, it would seem that if you want to go non-Space Marine Imperium, the best way would be Imperial Guard,, with infantry, bullgryns and several vehicles, allied either with armigers or maybe Sisters Of Battle (with force sword elites and a couple of rhinos filled with repentia) .
Lol, do they put these things in front of anybody to see if it's a worthwhile or wanted change, or are they just changing becase "change=good" in the current zeitgeist ?
Where did you find these points for the other factions who don't have 9th codexes yet? the main FAQ page doesn't have an update for stuff like guard or chaos marines. They mention a master points cost document, but I only see the one for power levels.
Drukhari also got wracks max unit size doubled (to 20). This is a big deal cause they have there own version of tide of traitors and are very durable with a 4++ and T5 if near their HQ.
Most underrated change for Tau imo is the devilfish going down 13 points, in an edition where getting to the objective and holding it is important, having a transport not be horrendously overpriced is a good thing. Now it's only 90pts at base (with drones) it's become a lot more viable to run them. I think it will definitely be good for farsight enclaves as you can more easily run breachers. Also even though I don't play orks anymore I'm pouring one out for my homie the stompa, I've had that paperweight since I started the hobby in 2019, would love to use it in a game but at it's current price it's still a waste of points in casual games.
Where do you find the change of Tyranid Warriors to be 17 points (instead of 21 w/o wargear)?! Tyranid Warriors are not listed in the PDF for Errata or FAQ. I don't see changes for Zoanthropes, Hive Guard or the Tyrannofex either. What document am I missing?
Mono Slaanesh daemons player here and feel like we deserved more of a mention. A lot less viable now with how many fewer things we’ll be fielding. Keepers, deamonettes, fiends Syll’Esske, the Mirror etc all more expensive now. Cutting like 100p from my 1000p army is huge.
15:50 people arent taking whole lists of gaurdsmen.. Are you on drugs.. Currently in 9th, infantry only is the only really competetive list to use for Gaurd, everyone knows the +5 to gaurd squads is only and purely to nerf infantry only lists because its our best list choice in 9th.
As someone with over 3k grey knights, I can't wait until they get to the Grey Knights, right now we are in a silly place, they are taking to long to get around to GK codex, annoying…:/
This guy should work in cable tv customer service. NOBODY would remain on hold to schedule a service call.
Or maybe he could be employed to interrogate terrorism suspects? Wait, no. That would be monstrously inhumane to subject anyone to this monotony. Probably against Geneva Conventions.

GW broke before the Guard !!!!
Where did they release these FAQs?

You missed an entire FAQ.
I didn't read the bit at Necrons properly so I thought the Doomstalker was down to 90 points… A man can dream
Your Vox caster sounds like its taken some shrapnel damage.

It’s hilarious because they’re going to nerf Tau’s one good build then not release a new codex for like 4-6 months, absolute trash.
Where do yall go to keep up with these faqs and what not?
17 point Tyranid Warriors but still overly expensive Genestealers? Huh….

Your mic gets statically about a third in.

👍🏻
Guardsmen. Still cheaper then cultist…

Do 6 guardians have a 50% chance or winning versus one of those melta marines?
Don't know if this is intended for the Dominion Squads in sisters but, it lists the heavy weapon options for them aswell which would be new and a little crazy: https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/76UtmPgtSCGKJAnW.pdf
big sound issues starting around 6:20ish
I still believe the 'while we stand we fight' is pretty worthless.
Nids getting a buff is so nice. It's Christmas in January.

you can hear just at 6:17 when Auspex Tactics gets corrupted by chaos
RIP usefulness of my Death Company, you were almost played.

The voidweaver becoming cheaper AND player of twilight giving much better cp regain is just awesome for harlequins!
Where is this deathwing strike master? The DA Index has not been updated?
I always thought the 5th round was one of the biggest disadvantages for player 2. This is a great change.
Should not be chimera down 20 pts? They come with multilaser and hb by default so the +10 is supposed to be the multilaser upgrade on turret.
Sure glad I went out and bought an imperial guard infantry army…Fuck this game
And I still haven't even purchased a new ruleset or codex.
don't scoff at guardians, in lower point games web way striking a unit of 20 guardians with 2 platforms mid game is dummy good.
Damn they nerfed drones into the ground. Guess ill be putting tau away and playing deathguard until their codex comes out.
you know a new microphone would cost you like 10 fucking dollars jesus christ
Going 2nd and getting CMD points at the end of the turn 5 has already won me a game, would have lost by 3 if not for receiving at the end of the turn.
Embarking out of phase is quite big. And Eldar goodness
Is it true reavers have dropped to 10 pts? If so holysh## that must be a typo.
We've spent most of 9th ed so far in lockdown, so we can't even play – and they're already making large changes. It's a bit shit.
That a nice crusader squad buff

Ponderous, robotic, monotonous narration.

Where are these point changes?
