The question isn't how old the creature is - it's how long the hive mind has spent perfecting the organism whos only purpose is to channel psychic powers.

I honestly can't tell if the bugs are just that good now or if the mission just suited them way more than the Tau (who are pretty static most of the time I've seen them played). I know a lot of comments in other places have said the Tau can be hugely mobile now, depending on which rules they pick to use for the battle. No offense intended to Jinx or Bard because they both play way more than I do right now and are probably way better in that regard, but I wonder how this game would have looked in the hands of some top tier tourney players.

I wasnt 100% on the GW has abandoned ALL semblence of balance train but watching Nid BRs yeah GW has just said fuck it to playtesting and just prints whatever they fucking want. I mean one Hive Fleet that pretty much has Trans Human all the time AND can generate upwards of 20+ MW in the Psychic Phase, check out Tactical Turtouises video on the Neruo/Zoan/Malceptor MW bomb combo. And here I am with my Crons thinking "Oh this is balanced and fun this edition will be great" Yeah Either Crons get a 2.0 Dex to compete or they are binned until they get ANOTHER complete rework in like 14th edition. Edit: Before people say other armies can 20+ MW bomb, I mean Reliably. So people dont have to go to Tacts video with Nid Psychic Shenanigans them doing a 20+ MW turn can be as high as a I believe 92%, aka its all but guaranteed. That combined with the Thrope Invuln bubble means it will be practically impossible to Alpha Strike Nids outside of playing Tau Borkan for the Ignores Invuln strat/Weapon/and Hammerheads.

@voxthesergal2 жыл бұрын
TS don't have it because of the multitude of things they get; The auto 3 wounds for 1 CP on a small, extra D3 for Cabal on ANY mortal wounds, Magnus's 3D3 Super smites (Which can be used in conjunction with the other prior mentions), double-cast doombolt, and the fact that every single squad in the army can technically throw a smite. 2k point games on an average list give you about 16-18 cabal points, which means that even when you start getting high up on those smite casts, you can auto pass. For nids, it's restricted to one unit for those casts. Yes, the 'transhuman; 4+ invuln on 4 wound T5 models' is already kinda redonkulous, but thankfully it's a reduced max squad size, and you're probably only ever gonna see 1. Their point cost spiked to also show this.

Unless this is in an FAQ, the rule say that vehicles and drones can move without the action failing. Pathfinders' rule allows them to start the action at the end of the movement phase, so after they moved. Every competitive list i've seen uses marketlight drones.

As a general rule of thumb here, if it has Markerlights and can move, it will be done so. If its not mentioned on camera, assume we mention it off camera 🙂 Stating it everytime would get laborious

There's only three possible explanations, all of which are massively disheartening: a) it helps them sell models b) their rules writers are hopelessly incompetent c) they actually do believe that a shift to far more insane gameplay is the correct choice, but they only came to this conclusion halfway through the release cycle of 9th and just don't have the resources to adjust the earlier releases accordingly (obv. this heavily ties in with b))

Tau are already one of the most powerful codexe and this Nid codex comes out and just stops all over them in 3 turns!.. at this point 9th edition is totally destroyed, Hoping that 10th comes out very early next year and re-sets the game.. Do GW playtest at all?

Your overall observation is obviously carrect: power creep has gotten so far out of hand that 9th seems broken beyond repair. That being said: please stop getting all worked up over just one game. Just saw another batrep yesterday, where the Nids lost to Dark Angels. Yeah, they fielded a less potent list than this one, but that's the point - games can go many different ways, based on many different factors. Also, James forgot about half of his special rules :D I think Tyranids are brokenly strong, but no more so than T'au, Custodes or Eldar (we shall not speak of the Clowns! WE SHALL NOT!). Let's see how things look once the nerfhammer drops, but I do believe that 9th edition should die already. We need a hard reset with 10th. Unfortunately, the most likely outcome is that we will see such a hard reset, only to witness a new cycle of power creep starting shortly afterwards. That just seems to be the way GW are operating in that regard.

@@FzNd Just remember, the GW term for "codex creep" is "expanded future sales volume". Chasing the meta is great for their revenue, much more so than balanced rules. Like fashion though, it's cyclical - my Crisis suit heavy Tau army from 5th Ed is suddenly viable again :) But just imagine how bad Riptides will be in 10th Ed!
