Great review; I will be rewatching this several times! The Abilities and TacOps are definitely awkward and too conditional so I see them being simplified, while some of the operative powers will get nerfed. This is a must buy especially as a NL fan. “Pre-sci-ence’ not ‘Preysense’ although that does sound cool; they definitely captured the NL fluff names!

Well, maybe they are testing this skip activation ability and later we'll see it implemented more and more. Its not an easy task, after all, plenty of questions to answer - which teams should recieve it? Everyone less than 10 activations? Or like in Malifaux - at the start of each turn team with less activations will be compensated with skip tokens so they will match in activations with a team with more of them? Or something else? How it will affect a game system in general? I hope thats GW reasoning, judging by the last dataslate, they can listen to the community.

You mentioned using the prescience ability to skip six activations, but would the A Worthy Cause core rule adjustment prevent six delayed actions in a row? "Some rules allow you to activate operatives in succession before your opponent can activate. Regardless of such rules, you can never activate more than two operatives in the same Turning Point before your opponent has had a turn to activate a ready operative or perform Overwatch." If not, I feel like a similar rule will get implemented with successive delaying for a similar reason, it just tends to build very unhealthy play patterns otherwise

Hey CRYAC, I think you may be misunderstanding the "In Midnight Clad" ability. While it is true that those on vantage treat concealed operatives behind light cover as engaged, that Nightlord is still obscured, therefore vantage does not make their ability useless since that operative "In Midnight Clad" would be obscured and therefore an invalid operative. Hope that helps!

as a long term Night Lord player im excited for this. A bit bummed they dont have true super conceal and echoing the idea that thry just power crept other elite teams when maybe "spend a CP to skip an activation" maybe could have been a balancing act but likely wont.

I think you're discarding Heavy Gunners too quickly. First, even in Legionaries, Chaincannon isn't the best in all cases, both Missile Launcher and Heavy Bolter have a lot of play. Second, this team doesn't have to spend extra CP on double Shoot - they get it packaged in the same Ploy as Double Fight, which they do want to proc, especially with their "second Charge" Tac Ploy. It's a huge bonus to the effectiveness of the Heavy Bolter.
@CanYouRollaCrit4 ай бұрын
The chaincannon only loses out to the heavy bolter if it has lethal 5+ with shoot twice. It's still better in all cases. Missile launcher only works of people bunch up. Chaincannon is the best because it doesn't need CP to function Making space for the heavy gunner in nemesis claw isn't worth it as you'll be dropping an important unique operative
@antongrigoryev63814 ай бұрын
@@CanYouRollaCrit Again, you get Shoot Twice basically for free in this team as you would want Fight Twice anyway. Second, Krak profile of the launcher can be pretty effective, don't discount it. It may not be as reliable as Chaincannon, but it still deals tons of damage. IIRC, it has higher average damage, though I may be wrong. While _also_ getting Blast potential. Third, it all depends on the matchup and the map. In certain situations. I certainly wouldn't mind a burst of big ranged damage over a slow tickle of MW from the poison guy, for example.
@CanYouRollaCrit4 ай бұрын
Yeah but you *have* to spend a CP to make the heavy bolter worth it and the missile is relying on people to bunch up to be effective. Poison guy is always worth keeping over the heavy due to MW damage, better board control and long range trickle damage if needed which complements all your other specialists
