GSC are meant to be a sort of horde with low damage who win via smart tactics and having like 20 different things going on, problem is they can't kill shit in shooting, their melee is strong but dies to a soft breeze, they just don't have tankiness at all, they just can't get hit, and whilst they can bring units back, it's so unreliable, they're meant to be the smart and highly, highly tactical army, but they can't actually survive long enough and can't hit hard enough to actually carry out a full game plan

@jacket2848 15 күн бұрын

Exactly, he was even outnumbered on units when Tycho had almost all vehicles too. No wonder GSC have entirely disappeared now, they won't see play for 6 months and will barely see any play until 11th now

@arturorenault6181 15 күн бұрын

GSC right now is a slot machine, all your units are overpriced liked they automatically come back but you'll only get that on a 4+ ! Plus the nerf to the killing power of the demo charge wich are point and CP intensive to use AND the nerf to the aberrants killing and survivability is too much for the little point decrease they got. maybe we will get a mechanicus treatment for the next erratum but as of right now i have not seen a single battle report where the GSC wins/ had decent chance to do a plan.

It’s standard back and forth rules for 40k. Armies go from rule buffs that make them meta to rule nerfs that make them unplayable. I believe this is marketing strategy, where Games Workshop don’t want players to just have a good army but rather constantly need to buy additional troops or an additional army for the current edition. Genestealer cult were second only to Eldar (who will be nerfed badly) for a time, so unfortunately now they get punished for it. In a few years, GSC will be meta again.

I’m not trying to be rude here, but that game was decided by the end of turn 1. Nick just didn’t have an answer to all the monsters that Tycho had, and his reinforcements never came. That said: the game ended closer than I thought. Huge props to Nick for putting up one hell of a fight, considering the hand he was dealt. I’m a space marines player, and I thought we core codex marines had it bad, but I feel for the GSC right now. They seem *really* anemic, and far too dependent on rolling high numbers to accomplish anything - but specifically what they need in order to stay in the fight/win their fights.

This was more entertaining than such a one way battle had any right to be. From Tycho's heart felt, "Aww sorry Nick" to Nick sportingly and slightly hysterically dealing with quite literally biblically bad dice. This episode is probably a mathamaticians dream. I recall Steve Box having a dice rolling nightmare with his Blood Angels during his inaugural match here, but I think Nick has just taken that title. Nick, my tip would be more shooty deep strike ambushes. Get those hand flamers roasting infantry. Goliaths might be a better way to get metamorphs and acolytes into melee too. Oh and there is no way you are ever going to be that unlucky with your reinforcement rolls again. 😊

@Luzo14 13 күн бұрын

This hurt to watch so much, especially cause i relate to it as a GSC player. Having dozens of units die off and then just not coming back is the worst feeling. Although I'm 100% feeling for nick, I do feel like there was a fault or two in his strategy. Firstly with the patriarch not having a full 10 man squad. Considering how squishy GS are, a 10 man squad will be reduced to a 5 man very quickly. But the other thing is not utilizing any of the, very good, enhancements that we got. Infiltrate on Abominant, plush one to damage and AP for the patriarch, both units become pretty strong. It does feel like the general army has suffered a lot in recent times, and I'm really hopping that the next update will see us buffed, at least a little in our detachments, and maybe, if we're lucky in the army rule too.

I feel like the Genestealer Blips should be guarunteed the first time a blippable unit is wiped out, then for the rest of the game it becomes a 2+, a 3+, and then a 4+ after the 4th time a unit is wiped out (this would be global, not per-unit, just kind of hard to write it down). I get the reason why it's random, but it feels too random for being a core part of the army.
