Who do you think will win?
Here I was hoping for Exalted Flamer and Brimstone Horror spam. 😉
Can’t wait to see it all, guys! Love seeing these Stream games lately; and based on all the subs a whole bunch of others do too.
Yeah, no, haha, Jason has played 1 game so far, lol.
Glad you’re enjoying the streams and yeah, the subs have been awesome!
Have a quick rules question. Heavy rule on weapons profile means that you add one to your BS if you move, and that includes vehicles. So as I see right now all my weapons on my Valkyries are Heavy which means instead of hitting on 4s I will be hitting on 5s as long as I move correct?
That is correct unless the vehicles themselves have a rule that ignore the -1 for moving and shooting heavy Weapons.
Arent his Grey Knights going to be getting automatic 3 damage smites because its vs Daemons?
Yes.
I probably won’t be able to catch this live, but still, loving the classic rivalry of Grey Knights and Daemons. Will the taint of Chaos be spread across the galaxy? Will the warriors of Titan send the daemons back to the Warp? Tune in to find out (unless you catch it later on YouTube, like I will be)! The battle begins tonight!
Haha, nice!
Well, spoiler alert, but the Daemons got waxed, lol.
Nice to see the Grey Knights doing their job again. They spent a whole edition slacking off!
Phew, 2 AM and gonna try to watch this game! You in one video/stream mentioned an Excel sheet…wondering about that 😉 Thanks for all the hard work you guys and other did testing this version!
Happy to help! Hope you enjoyed the show.
Those dice rolls were BRUUUUTAAAL!! Was fun watching the GK do their job 🙂
Yeah, Grey Knights put a hammer down on Daemons if you aren’t careful.
i m thinking about a list with Magnus and Loc but i fear the heavy weapon spam, 745pts of models pefectly targettable take a big part of list, the rest will be occult scarab termy, brimstone DP exalted flamers and an exalted sorcerer on disk.
Magnus is a tough hombre, I wouldn’t worry about it too, too much. Everything in 8th ed can die, too. It makes the game a lot more fun. I’d be concerned more with getting the most out of him before he goes poof. To that end, he hits like an absolute truck.
I fear my poor Daemons are in for a rough edition ?
Not at all, Daemons are brutally good. I just took a very soft list.
What would you consider to be strong? You almost HAVE to go mono-god to stack buffs for survivability.
what u think demons should be play? looks like TZ is something powerful demons+thousand sons appear viable
Yeah, tons of options, really. Skarbrand is game changing if you can keep him alive to get in range. Exalted Flamers and Brims are just dumb, too good, honestly.
There are lot of synergies and options in there, they just play very differently than they did.
