I wish I could say that it's just you but this hobby is infested with wannabe neo-Nazis. (not saying you're one of them) Genghis Cohen posted:Does anyone think 12 points will make rangers ok? They still suffer from all the same problems as before, really low punch and vulnerability to assaults/flamers. Just not as cripplingly expensive. I feel like their rifles would still need some sort of ap modifier to make them worthwhile. lol bruh it makes them really good. gotta snipe those loving commissars somehow

Der Waffle Mous posted:also there are already like three of them. Oh? That'd be cool to see. I just like how chunky their armor looks, especially with the helmet. I'm not putting swastikas on my guardsmen I just like the look of the armor. I'd love something like that for scions. chutche2 fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Oct 20, 2017 |

Kasrkins looked cooler than those nazis, and they had the chunky armour aesthetic. Man, I relaly want plastic Kasrkin. Scions look way too ornamental by comparison.

I think there would be an opportunity if a character were wounded already, which is actually likely to come up. But you need a fair few sniper rifles, or incredible luck, to bring down a character from most any army (besides guard and maybe tau) in one round, and it's so easy to hide behind a vehicle or terrain, and the rangers will never justify their cost shooting at anything else, and they're dead weight once fast troops close in on them, and . . . Basically rangers are a cool idea but I've never taken them in a game before and had them do well for me. Probably quite a hard unit for the designers to balance - make them too cheap or deadly, and suddenly each eldar player has 60 vasily wotsisnames no-scoping the enemy army from their deployment zone.

At 12pts a model they're good. Sat in cover they'll be fairly hard to dig out, and although it's relatively easy to hide a character in deployment, it's harder to do once things start blowing up, and of course making parts of the board a no-go for characters is a power all of its own.

My only concern is taking them to the UK GT in Feb - it's very minimal non-GW parts, but who knows how they'll go down? I love them though, it's a great look.

TWSS posted:Sounds like you need to git good at rolling 6s. Haha, fair one, one good roll from the 10 I've got and I could be laughing over my opponents' tears in a most eldar-y way. I will certainly give them a try when the book is out then. Since all my main strength is grouped under fast attack, i.e. 1 comd point outrider detachments, rangers will be very useful for a cheap battalion detachment, get me some comd points to throw around.

It's gonna be fun hiding a couple Fire Prisms out of LoS, scooting one out, linking their shots, and then scooting it back into cover. it costs 2 CP but drat that is going to really mess up a superheavy's day. I really need to nab one of the current Start Collecting boxes before they're gone, better call up the local WARHAMMER™ store...

the thing with rangers is that you're comparing them with the other two eldar troops choices. and then taking Kabalites because for some reason farseers are the best DE HQ.

I actually just built my first scion box last night which is what made me think about it. Really underwhelming. Kasrkin are bulky and imposing, these are just guardsmen with cables.

I'd recommend getting the FW Cadians with Respirators for a built-up guardsmen silhouette, add scion arms to them, and greenstuff or run guitar cable to the backpacks. I have about 30 of them on my workbench at the moment, but I'm so behind with moving, work travel, and renovations that I'm just poking at tanks and other projects until I set up a proper workspace. Otherwise, you can always add some plasticard or bits to form a sort of add-on armor look if you're comfortable doing it.

Chiwie posted:They have! Also rangers are now 12ppm as well. Awesome! Yea, that has to include the weapon since right now the model alone costs 10 ppm. And 7 for the weapon. I could see that dropping to 8 and 4. Though I guess that would make the DA exarch with 2 avenger catapults pretty cheap. We'll see what happens.

Really stoked on the ranger, dire avenger, windrider, vyper and fire prism changes! I hope GW doesn't forget about falcons because they're objectively worse than wave serpents and cost around 50 pts more.

This must be the opposite of how Tyranids and Orks players feel, huh? Supreme confidence that your Codex will be at least playable with synergy between units?

God this guy was a chore to paint. gently caress white, even small amounts. Pretty pleased with how he turned out none the less, he's been pretty much an auto include since he pumped 3 wounds back into my outnumbered 15-1 captain in my game against Zark at the UK goonpocalypse.
