I'm surprised the Plasma guns for the Primaris weren't like the Plasma Calivers of the Skitarii.

Although now i'm nervous for my Skitarii.

Low-rez as gently caress, but a couple of interesting things in this key art.



Firstly, Morty's a big boy now.

Secondly, I'm pretty sure those Cthullu slug things on the right are what this was teasing from the other week.

Stormboyz charging fliers is basically their ideal purpose.

I know "mon" means man, but I don't think "Och" means anything.

I cant believe you still stand still like an idiot if you fail charge range.

Tearing fliers out of the sky would give my converted Shrikes a purpose so it is guaranteed to be prohibited.

Also lol at that points layout - I mean I know they want to push the stupid Power thing but drat it'd better be less terrible in the actual Indexes or there'll be a lot more groaning.

I am legit hoping that units with FLY can just charge flyers because having jump pack units hit flyers would be rad as gently caress

GSC Gaping Maw Deep Delving Corp. — Genestealer Cults — 1000 points

Or

Genestealer Cults — 1000 points

I like that the second one has a grenade launcher, but I feel like dropping down to nine men and losing the third arm attack from that last Initiate is a bit too steep of a price.

I swear to god I've read that exact line in like 3 different black library books about the Blood Angels. poo poo is getting rather cliche!

Putting on my Pawl hat, AoS has more powerful Wizards (Kroak, Tzeentch dudes, Nagash) able to cast/dispel more spells, gives them bonuses to casting and more powerful unique spells.

So expect Ahriman to have something like 4 spells per turn, +1 to casting/dispel rolls, big AoE murder spell etc.
