Allowing the wyches, at least, able to charge out of the transports would help them no end. Still can't believe space marines can do it out of their big dumb tanks but drukhari can't do it out of their purpose built assault raider!

I don't even live in the same hemisphere as this guy, and he's still putting out videos at all times of my waking day.

My main issue with Drukhari is how they went from a diverse melee army with a spattering of effective anti tank on transports to a "oops all dark lances! Index" and its so sad. Also the loss of special weapons on wyches, removal of the renown troops really suck, archon not being able to lead incubi, forced 10 man squads on Kalabites and Wyches (unless you use a Venom), and other just...minor annoyances get to me. I started Drukhari with 9th edition and once that codex was balanced out after some time, god damn was it a cool army.

Ahhhh The Dark Kin

A Drukhari list with 30 plus dark/void lance can reach a 45% win rate (with good players)... a more classical drukhari list with Incubi, hellions etc doesn't go over 20% winrate

Given just how bad their current state is, I don't know how GW "fixes" Dark Eldar without totally rewriting their index or outright breaking their datasheets/point costs. Honestly, the index feels like a symptom of a much larger problem with Dark Eldar - namely that GW seems to neither understand them or care about them. GW released an index with no synergies and borderline worthless mechanics, for a faction whose roster they don't even sell a sizable chunk of, and said to themselves "Yeah, we totally give a shit".

My hope is that developers will trash this insult of a drukhari index and do it again without all the incoherencies and non sense and maybe add some fun to an army that in 9th was enjoyable to play

A quick note on Talos and their weapon selections: The haywire blaster is generally your best choice as it has devastating wounds and twin-linked, devastating wounds triggers on a 4+ (not a 6) when fired at a vehicle because of anti-vehicle 4+, so that's 3MW for each wounding hit. As you pointed out a ravager will frequently land around 7W on a vehicle meaning it is quite conceivable to finish it with two Talos armed with haywires. The big deal there is that will empower that Talos unit in every phase for the rest of the game.

Using Pain tokens to upgrade Stratagems could help them. For Example: 1CP: Reroll all failed Hit rolls in the Shooting phase upgraded with 1 Paintoken to: Reroll all failed Wound rolls against Infantry (or for 2 Paintokens against all modells) for one unit .

GW should give first S5 to the incubis, I’ve always seen them as terminator killers. Then concerning the wyches they should have 4 attacks each, a weapon profile with anti-infantry for the hekatrix + another one with S5 D2 for the succubs’vouge, a profile for the wyches’ special weapons and finally bring back the drugs : for example you chose a bonus on the ptofile with a second effect if they are empowered.: +1 attack with sustained hits if empowered, +1 strength with lethal hits or + 1 to wound if empowered or +1 1toughness with some fnp if empowered

Their main issue is that their abilities/enhancements are mostly unusable when the leaders etc. are in transports and so would have to get out and be at risk of losing 1/4 of their army to actually get certain buffs, also the strat that uses all 3 cults is unusable most of the time for the same listed reason above.

GW employee 1: "Huh, looks like no-one took Kabal centered lists in 9th edition, only Witch Cult and Haemonculous Coven themed lists. We clearly need to re-balance the army/ make the Kabal gunboat style viable again. We could also do with making Ynnari allies work/ have really good synergies with the gunboats too." GW employee 2 says "Yeah we do have a billion Kabalite warrior kits lying around unsold in the warehouse. Nobody buys the individual kits anymore 'cos Warriors always come in the Starter box-sets for Drukhari 'for free'. Plus in 9th we made it so you only ever needed 2 squads of 5 chumps at most, just to sit around on home objectives and do Secondary missions etc." GW employee 1: "Yeah the Warriors couldn't do any real damage 'cos you could only take 1 special weapon And our rules writing meant Witches and Haem Covens just always overshadowed them. They were always the star of the show." GW employee 2 : "Yeah that's what happens when you release a mini supplement book for Witches and Haem Covens each, giving 'em absolutely busted rules forcing tournament players to skew their lists if they wanna stay top dog." GW employee 1: "Yeah my bad. I got a little overexcited when writing those books. To be fair I did get told by management to make 'em as 'pay-to-win' as possible to drive up sales of the new Wrack and Lelith models when they came out in plastic. Not my decision mind, I'm just doing my job." GW employee 2 "Yeah I hope management doesn't force us to do that again. It's a real shame 'cos you had a lot of fun working on those books. You loved making making new rules and new flavour text for the units in those books." GW emplyee 1: "Yeah I know, I really really love Drukhari. I'm really passionate about them and all. But yeah, I'm looking forward to redressing the balance and making Gunboat Kabal lists good again." GW employee 2: "Yeah you're definitely the best person to do the job. You know them really well, you've collected them since 3rd edition, gave them the refresh in 2011. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them in 10th Edition." GW employee 1: "Yeah me too. Should take me a few months of rigorous playtesting to do it, but if I'm given enough time and management don't make any stupid decisions, I'm fairly confident I can make Kabals good without accidentally nerfing the Witches and Haemonculous Covens. The last thing I want is to make them unplayable just to boost sales of the Kabal Warrior Kit." [[[ a GW Manager then burts through the wall into the room 'cool-aid' man style ]]] GW Manager: "HENRY CAVILL, AMAZON DEAL, 3 YEAR RELEASE CYCLE. ... 2 WEEKS!!! 10TH EDITION MUST SHIP IN 2 WEEKS!!!" GW employee 1: "I don't understand, wait, what?" GW Manager: "2 WEEKS!!! 10TH EDITION MUST LAUNCH IN 2 WEEKS!!! DO EVERY INDEX!!! NOOOOOW!!!" GW employee 1: "But Sir! Drukhari alone will take months of rigorous playtesting to get the balance right between Kabals and Witch Cu-" GW Manager: "2 WEEKS!!! 2 WEEEEKS!!!! GIVE DRUKHARI TO INTERN!!! WORK ON SPACE MARIIIIIIIINES!!!!!!"

Frankly, the good Drukhari untis seem to be ´better in Ynnari, where they benefit from their detachement and army rules (they have the Aeldari keyword, after all).

Once again, Auspex Tactics Drukhari content going Kabals deep, so you don't have to.

Ok, I just started looking at getting back into 40k with Drukhari, re-subbed to the channel, and the next day you drop this? You truly are the hero we do not deserve!

My thoughts on what they need 1) archon able to lead incubi and haemonculus adle to lead grotesques 2) vehicles have a 5+ invulnerable save 3) leader abilities work in vehicles 4) wyches have their wych weapons back and the old no escape rules 4) pain tokens giving +1 to hit instead of re-rolls to hit, possibly +2 to charges and advances 5) anti beast and mounted on splinter weapons Those changes and I'd be absolutely happy with the index

Drukhari are pretty good in Ynnari lists. Bladestorm stratagem on anti infantry weapons, and unparalleled foresight on dark lances is tasty.

Correction to beast pack. All models are beasts, so beast master is a beast that can go through ruins.

I just want the codex to make it viable to run nothing but coven units, I don't care much for the rest of the range but I love the body horror/mad doctor vibe of the covens.

Drukhari really got nerved when they lost 'Trueborn, '

I have not played with them in a long time, but i like when they had the initiative rules, having 5, they got first hit on a lot, then with Lances but also the Agonizer, power weapon with auto wound on 4+. I loved using them to take on WrathLords back in the day.

Such helpful video. Thanks!!!

All of the maths about killing marines with witches disappears with just a single burst of overwatch from the marines and one use of armour of contempt. There's a complete lack of AP across the army in a meta that is all about durability. This faction is literally impossible to balance without turning into the hordiest of hordes or inventing a terminator style unit for it.

Looking forward to fielding my Wych cult units again!

i've read some arguments that with how the 'declare battle formations' step is worded, you can split a squad in a venom and a raider, and then add the court to the squad in the Raider to allow them to fit, but then the buffs dont go as far so its a double edged sword

Close to finishing my 2k Drukhari army so looking forward to hearing your analysis :)

Reducing the pts just gave me more sheet, when what I need is better sheet. It seems like 70% of the book was tailored to killing light infantry. Was GW only testing out battleline stuff when they made this book? The real space raid ability is awful when coupled with about 240pts of HQ tax, there's no value. Strike and Fade could've been a way to deal with how glassy we are now, but at 2CP it's much too expensive to consider. Alliance of Agony has so many ifs attached to it that maybe once per game, after the HQ tax, you spend a CP for 2 pain tokens, hard to say it's ever worth it. Further that idea, in what phase do I need re-roll hits for my kabalites, wyches and wracks? If your kabalites are in melee, you screwed up. Wyches charge in 30 attacks, 20 hits, 6-7 wounds, marines take 3 dmg, unless they play AoC, then it's 2... OMG game changing. I'd pay 60pts for that, maximum. Unless led, wyches do the same damage to marines as wracks in melee. Kabalites do have access to a lot of assault weapons so in theory they're probably the 2nd fastest unit in our book right behind scourge. Once incubi are kitted out properly (can hurt things in melee and get there), it's a 340pts unit, never earning their points back. As much as I love my incubi and Drazhar models and paint job they're a bit of a trap at this points cost. Yes they wound everything on 5s at worst. But -2AP 2d is to soft to make those hits count. Especially now that it's mostly impossible to reduce somethings abilities by wounding it. 2x5 Mandrakes in raider, kind of cheeky mortals fishing and then when transport is destroyed if they survive they fade away, not effective, but fun. Grotesques need to be T6 with 5 wounds and instead of fights on death the ability to heal D3 wounds, then if led by Urien, the abilities would stack. Also devastating wounds back on their weapons from last edition. The court of the archon when fielded they way they intended is a 270 pts, -1 to wound kabalite squad, with effectively double wounds. Buffing your shooting with lethal hits has some legs but I'm not convinced. If the courts restrictions were 1-3 of the four choices then there's some fun 3xSlyyth or 3xMedusas in Raiders, but that's not an option. A unit of 6xReavers with both of the upgrades can advance, use their ability, spend a CP to charge and with anti Inf 2+ on the sgts weapon, can just kill a 5man unit of marines. The only reason to take a jet fighter is because you already took 3 void ravens and somehow want more planes. Accurate review, this Index needs a complete redo.

I'm gonna reiterate this every time it's brought up: Without any unit ability on the transport, you can not embark a unit outside of the movement phase. That is how it has always been.

I believe Prince Yriel doesn't actually have the Anhrathe keyword. So you can't take him in a Drukhari army.

Perhaps a Feel No Pain option being included as a defensive option alternative for Power from Pain points could be a way to go to collectively sort of buff the army as a whole a little bit for starters?

My two combat patrols and two border patrol boxes are one of my winter projects after the semester ends. When DE were redone many years ago, I wanted to do a dark lance spam list - now that looks like the best option. LOL

The Drukhari situation is dire but not hopeless. The pain token mechanic is sound and there is hope that GW can fix the list. If feels like this Index was amongst the last to be written and all the good ideas went to our cousins. GW needs to do the following: 1. Finish writing the index by correcting the obvious errors & oversights: a. Archons should be able to lead Incubis (would make a change from Drazhar) b. Haemonculus should be able to lead Grotesques c. Archon 's OVERLORD power should be usuable from within a transport because Drukhari are Space Pirates at heart and come with their Space Pirate Ship (aka the Raider) so the rules should factor this. 2. Fix the Incubis and the Wyches a. Incubis should be S5 / AP -3/ D2 native. Their ability is useless because Battleshock is useless. Given them fight first instead if the charging enemy misses its Ld test. b. Wyches need Lethal Hit or Anti-Infantry native. Lack of Advance and Charge is a big nerf but this could be remedied with a Wych Cult detachment. c. Bring back Wych weapons to give them some options (something like anti-Monster which would be topical as they are supposed to fight in arenas). The models are nice and iconic. It is a shame that they bring no utility to the table. 3. Fix the transport tax a. As piratical raiders, Drukhari fight from transports and transports have become a point sink for them because a) they are too weak for their point cost (the Starweaver which costs the same as a Venom has a 4++) and b) they don't hit hard enough to make their point cost worthwhile. Either you reduce their cost drastically to Truk level territory because that is what they are basically (a cheapish transport) or you boost their invul to 5+ and give them a better melee profile so they gain some usage for their point cost. Also, let's bump the Raider to the Ravager stat lines because 2 differents stat lines for two models that looks the same is just a source of confusion. 4. Fix the Kabalites. a. One of each means that you end up with a kabalite squad that is unfocused. It can deal with many targets but does not have enough to make a difference. Instead of one of each special/heavy weapon let the kabalites chose 2 between Dark Lance / Splinter Canon and 2 between Shredder / Blaster. You could better tailor the unit to its role as anti-armour (2xDL + 2XBlaster) or anti-infantry (2xSC + 2x Shredder + Splinter Riffles). It would make Scourges less of an auto-include compared to the Kabalites. If you are afraid this is too powerful, limit that to the trueborns (one per army) or drop one of the heavy weapon choice for the pick of two special weapons of the same kind like the Voidscared. 5. Misc. a. Fix grotesques and wracks which are not tough enough / deadly enough for their point costs. Grotesque should be less tough than a termie (because faster movement) but not behind much. Wrack suffer from the same jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none syndrome as Kabalites. Tweaking their weapon options would help. b. Transform Reavers or even better fluff-wise, Helions, in an anti-bike role because we don't have anything to deal with bikes though we are supposed to be a speed freak faction which is weird. c. Bring down the cost of Talos because the gap with the Cronos is too wide. d. Given us a Lone-Wolf Character killer so we do not have to relly on Solitaires. Drukahris are supposed to be a bunch of murdering maniacs so they must have evolved their own form of Assassin guild.

Excellent overview. It's a right pain trying to come up with DE lists that don't look like they will melt under enemy shooting. I thinking creating a list designed to get an unassailable victory point advantage before they are wiped out may be the best way forward. Mandrakes for secondaries and forward pressure to disrupt the opponents early victory point game (Lilith with watches and beastpacks) combines with MSU shooting (lance spam). It's not pretty but it may have a chance.

Proxy hammer did a good video recently on DE

I will never not respect the Archon's shadowfield save. My first game as Drukhari was against Imperial Knights. He survived 20 attacks from Canis Rex before the field gave out. 20. I will never be able to do that again but the image of this guy just lightly dusting himself off after Canis unloads into him with his fist for a couple fight phases will stay with me for awhile.

Yeeeeesssss.... let's work!!!

The one thing GW got right was the Power From Pain rule. Its gone closer to the original version that encourages playing like a Dark Eldar - sneaking around picking off the weaker units.

If Drukhari follow the 5 detachments in a Codex trend what can we expect to see? Realspace Raiders, a detachment for each of the subgroups? What would be the fifth? Currently, Ynnari kind of have taken some of the mojo away from Dark Eldar as both get powers through death and are very mobile. I wouldn't mind seeing a mechanic where Drukhari can deal themselves damage or use the hazardous key word on select datasheets to turbo charge their shooting/attacks. I think Drukhari should have stronger ways to force or play around with battleshock. That would be some real power from pain. Some new models would also be much appreciated currently there isn't much in the way of a centrepiece model.

Here's hoping balance swings back and we get a ridiculous bullshit Codex! Edit: If any meta-chasers want to sell their minis at a low price, HMU lol

thanks

I had a game that went so perfectly with every tactic playing off well and my Drukhari still couldn’t take the win, that’s when I knew they’re broken. The whole codex will need an overhaul to make it not a horde army

All the vehicles should get the 5++ back, Haemie could join Grots, Pain tokens could be used in activation (not in the start of the face) and for to re-roll hits or wounds or if you spend two, both. Plus, Covens stuff needs to be cheaper and proper strats, like fall back & charge/shoot, where´s that? We´ve had that in every single codex after strats became a thing...

It was this index that killed any interest I had in playing 10th. Wake me up when the codex comes out, or 11th edition.

i started playing drukhari in 9th edition - some thoughts - the detachment rule is worse than the 25pt art of pain enhancement - there are only 4 units that can ever use the prey on the weak strategem - the archon, kabalite warriors, and the court of the archon (which is really 1 unit), and the ravager. by the way the ravager gets a bonus for shooting at things that ARE at max strength. and the archon's unit rerolls hits and wounds against everything for a pain token. - no way to generate CP so it's impossible to use strike and fade on turn 1 if you go first :) - the strats are terrible - most of the best units are just as good if not better in ynnari - the best units by FAR are the ravager and scourge - the beastmaster also has the beasts keyword so he can go right through ruins. - an archon + court of the archon + 5 warriors (splinter rifles) while the 5 special weapons run around in a venom, is interesting and pretty dangerous. lethal hits + full rerolls is quite a combo - wyches, incubi, and hellions are among the worst units in the entire game - reavers are 70 pts for very fast moving OC6. ignore the rest of the rules (though the heat lance is really good in ynnari) - deep strike on transports + rapid ingress is very strong - 2 venoms can be used to split kabalite squads in half and then put both sets of special weapons into a raider to make ravager #4 and a really good fire & fade target - holy fuck the tantalus is so cool - use 3 venoms and fill the tantalus with triple dark lance/blaster etc - the voidraven is actually good - both scythes and lances are viable - lelith is like 95% as effective on her own as she is leading a squad of wyches. she and the succubus would both be great if wyches were good - well done to the winner of ratcon but this was an event where objectives could move randomly out from under people . . .

All I want is more flavor for the three technically four factions for drunkhari with better stratagems for the Kabalite/wyches/coven/all of them together then to really ring it home more units for wyches something very elite that is just great in melee against higher toughness targets and the kabalite need something with more wounds or toughness so they can actually hold objectives something like the black guard from fantasy where they are good at killing but are just really hard to take off the board so I can hold for more than a turn of oath of moment the covens it it would be nice to see more pain engines something heavy like a hydra from fantasy and then something light like a hoard so that it’s not just the one model wither you built it as a cronos or a talos

They definitely need a new lord model

The Archon + Court + Warriors brick is why the Tantalus exists.

the only Drukhari games I've won so far were against Tyranids and a Custodes game where I had all the luck and deleted half of the opponents army turn one. my list is a fully packed Tantalus/3 Venom combo, a wrack/Urien blob with Talos support and the classic Scourges/Ravager spam my biggest problem is the lack of AP and that we have absolutely no options against mounted. maybe give every Anti-Infantry 3+ an Anti-Mounted 4+ in addition so you don't have to waste DL shots

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

I gotta ask this to make sure. So if you´re a Drukari player, you can just say i play Yinari take Yvraine and from there on out you could take, 1kpts of Drukari and then field the rest with whtatever Aeldari units you like? Fire Prisims, Wratih Knights whatevery you like yes? Would you still get the power from pain stuff or is this something entirely new then?

Looks like cronos being run in competitive play 😮 what do you know 😉

I’m still getting my head around the Druhkari, but I feel like your assessment in here is not 10E Druhkari from a strategy perspective. Yes you’re talking about the 10E rules and you have a really good handle on the core of those, but in terms of how to assemble a force and manoeuvre it on the board I’m not so sure. For example, you downplay Talos in your assessment of them, but the list you have for an event winning one had 2x2, and another list won a small event 5-0 with 3x2 and no Ravagers at all (admittedly after you posted this video on the later). That said, Wyches need Anti-Infantry on their weapons and as a whole a way to Disembark and charge would help the effectiveness of the traditional melee side of the army. They’re undeniably in a weak spot at the moment, and getting into them isn’t exactly easy due to poor model availability or just raw cost (see Talos units).

I have a large Drukhari collection and it's my only 40k army. Tbh, I've been playing One Page Rules grimdark instead of 40k and it's been really fun. I've been enjoying the i-go-you-go activations, faster games, no treadmil to keep buying/painting, model flexibility, terrific army builder app, and free rules. Would recommend

I still can’t believe they increased the points on our best unit the ravager because ANOTHER army was using it too successfully, never mind considering how it would affect drukhari though. Dark lance spam is soulless and boring, gives us other options, improve wyches, let the archon join incubi, make hellions worthwhile in some way, give us better fear mechanics to obtain pain tokens, give us some way to work around overwatch. There are so many basic things they could change to open up more list builds for the army. I don’t even care as much about overall win rate if it just means a boost to the win rate with dark lance spam only…

There are so many good ideas on this Codex, but there are even more bad ones. For example, Warriors were buffed with all their special weapons and a buff to splinter rifles. Love that change. Wracks to got all their weapons for free, where before no one used them cause they were too expensive. At the same time Wyches had all their weapons removed and weren’t replaced with a better generalist profile, which they should have gotten. Then for some reason they change the power from pain rule, which everyone loved last edition. Why they did that I’ll never know.

On the Mandrakes it says they have a normal 7+ save, 7+? huh is that a typo?

any thoughts as to Allies? i know they can bring some eldar units, anyone know which?

Can someone explain this If a model has both Invulnerable save and Feel no pain- can I use both? as in: I fail normal save, I fail invul save & then I use and save it with feel no pain. Is that valid?? Can't for the life of me find it anywhere written that it can't or can.

Drukhari aren't a faction I'm terribly interested but having such a good combat patrol is tempting

I am so disappointed. All that made Drukhari cool and unique has gone! I always loved the three-themed army, all three themes with different roles, but still harmonizing with each others in rules and background... Now most good things are gone and the only way to play them is by spamming Dark Lances...

It is sad to see that the Drukhari models play better as Ynaris than Drukharis. It is a sad state of affaire when you have to borrow another faction's index to remain competitive. Though GW might not appreciate it, I as a Drukhari player do not want to play Aeldari by choice. I get it that the Ynari is the ploy by which GW wants to temp me to play Aeldari but that is not what I want. It is therefore a shame that Drukharis get nerfed simply because boosting them would indirectly boost the Aeldari as well and they need no help. Maybe the solution would be to make Drukhari units more expensive for Aeldari armies to break the link between the two factions? After all the utility you get from a unit depends on the Detachement and Faction rule. Strand of Fate on a heat lance is absolutely deadly. Why should the model cost the same point wize ?

Drukhari are only playable at 1k points tbh Their movement on a full table is bonkers. Even then, it's still swingy and reliant on actually dealing damage with dark lances most of the time.

ive been playing only dark eldar since 9th and i havent been having issues in 10th the issue is most people dont have the models and dont want to play the way that works ive been bringing 35 wracks in 6 units and 11 dark lances in the list i think scourges are a waste of points and 2 cronos is overkill and the art of pain enhancement is a crutch play msu dark eldar only bring venoms to split kabbalites and raiders are only good for rapid ingressing lelith + wyches as a terminator tar pit this army plays way different than it did but its very effective if you lean into the mechanics the index gives you

I don't understand why they took an extremely fast melee army and turned it into a weaker version of the Craftworld Aeldari. What they did to wyches was awful, they are an absolute joke of a unit now, against a basic 5 man squad of intercessors, a unit of 10 wyches should average about 1.5 dead marines on the charge, loosing 3 of their number in return. And the wyches cost more, can't shoot worth a damn and are vastly squishier. I don't get how GW looked at the 9th edition wyches and said "lets remove their combat drugs", "and lets remove their special weapons", "and lets remove the faction rules that buff them in melee like advance and charge" "and lets remove the faction rules that make them nastier in close combat", "and lets let them only be taken in 5 and 10 man squads". And then think that they have made a good transition to 10th for this unit.

In a world of tanks, the Lance is king

I played Dark Eldar my first time in warhammer. And would love to play them again, but the only even remotely viable lists I ever see played is just like nothing but Dark Lance spam packing as many as possible into a list. Just seems ultra narrow if you don't want to get plowed.

with 3500+ pts+ of drukhari, as far as im concerned 10th doesn exist. zero reason to play my army now and its completely ended my interest in playing 40k. the army is straight up neutered. the sad part is i can tell from the rules that our codex will be okay, but they just stripped out all of the good stuff from and called it our index, im not llikely to wait 2 years for the hope they stop sucking. worst part is because they are so shit the army is impossible to sell so i cant even recoup my money.

Pretty hate it’s fear rule, can mess u up pretty well

We need a range refresh and rules refresh.

If GW is aiming at creating lists that contain no "always include" and no "never take" options then Drukhari are undoubtedly the biggest failure of a list in this regard. Literally the entire list is either "always include" or "never take". Things like Kabalites, Ravagers, Scourges and Talos/Cronos are reasonably priced and efficient (Wyches after the points cut are OK with Lelith, Mandrakes are OK for redeploy rules). Basically everything else is over costed, under powered or both.

Are Mandrakes in legends?

My friend plays drukhari and it's a pain to play against. All the dark lances just rips apart my space marines like butter.

Watched this video to see if I was interested in getting back into the game since my main army is Dark Eldar. Wow how horribly unviable a lot of list styles and play styles are compared how to they used to be. Really dumbfounded how GW could write something as dumb as this, yeah I’m not coming back.

Coming from Drukhari 9th edition codex , 10th edition Drukhari are super frustrating to play. GW really did a bad job .

This was a pretty depressing watch. Surely, I thought, there must be some viable strategy to Drukhari beyond using every unit that has a darklance.

Just give Incubi S7 and Wyches anti-infantery 4+ in melee and we are fine. And even better give full wound reroll in melee with pain tokens.

This index is the proof that game designers do not test and do not have independent review. This is completely inconsistent with both previous editions and other factions. Pure amateurism from a company that takes pride in selling expensive miniatures but still see rules as a leaflet to sell plastic.

not gonna lie, i feel that the "competitive" part of this game has been a joke ever since the mid of 9th ed. and now 10th feels like a rushed halfbaked game, pretty much 80% of the units in all of the index are underwelming and you stay on float by spaming the 2 or 3 good units or weapons that you have.

Why not Deathwatch? Every other unique chapter, poor Deathwatch has come and gone since the beginning of 10th and usually only get a passing mention in other videos, WTF does Auspex Tactics have against the Deathwatch ☠️

Drukhari are the second strongest army in the game right now.

I just really hate how we don't get the Archon buffs when he's in a squad inside a transport.

Sad clowns
