Boon I forgot that you use the suncannon + shield loadout for Wraithknight, that should be fine. It's not a D weapon so if anyone cries about it you can tell them to stfu

I'm excited to see what ridiculous poo poo they do with a "proper" "insane" 7th edition Chaos Codex, whenever that happens. Beardy or not, it was fun that Chaos could do so much crazy poo poo and have gobstoppingly powerful characters murdering peeps to the laughter of thirsting gods. Narrative: built.

It will never happen, not unless CSM is the next codex released, even then they will suffer due to the over all bias on shooting this edition.

Mutilators are 100 points each and they have a single S7 powerfist (It rerolls armor pen vs buildings only) or a pair of S5 AP5 weapons. For 10ppm, they can cause the enemy to reroll fear tests. Formation bonus allows three squads to bunch up into one, but they have to deep strike and scatter 3D6".

No what will happen is this :

GW Designer " We made the Eldar Codex to powerful"

Other GW Designers " Oh people don't like powerful codexes let's tone down the next one"

Releases Chaos Space Marine Codex

Cause that's how they loving think and design poo poo

Edit:

Also the Eldar codex is crazy good even without the D-Weapons, if they'd just left them at ST10, it'd still be crazy good.

Wraithguard moving 12" a turn and then shooting you from the Wraith Formation, BS5 Fire Dragons deep striking in Falcons, disembarking 12" out of a vehicle and shooting you.

Crazy poo poo.

That Warhost bonus of always moving 6" on a run and everything having Battle Focus turns things into Semi Beasts.

Warp Spiders with that formation and the Warhost

Movement Phase - Move 6 + 2D6
Shooting - Move 6 "
Assault - Move 2D6"

Get to Move again in your Shooting phase if you target them.

Wraithknights are great and all but are Wraithlords really bad? They were the cheese schlong of 3rd edition, are they just doodoo now because of poison weapons and heavy weapons being in vogue?

They aren't bad per se but they are slow and you have better things to spend points on. If you want bright lance fire support you can use War Walkers but they are pretty fragile

Wraithlords are still kind of lovely. They are still terrible because they're a T8 creature with a 3+ save and no invulnerable.

They are exactly the same as the last codex except that Scatter lasers and Shuriken Cannons are both 15 points now instead of S. Cannon being 15 and Scatter Laser being 20.

Warlord Traits for Eldar are still super lovely except for the whole give D3 units scout.

I played against a Tau army at a tournament where every Crisis Suit was painted like a different Gundam. They might have also used Gundam model kit heads too, but I can't recall.
