I actually sparked an argument amongst a bunch of my customers by bringing up the new IA and being able to use 30k Mechanicum bots in 40k. Lot of fertile ground for discussion there.

One of my HQ choices has a dedicated transport that is a thunderhawk with void shields. The entire power level of the game is tweaked upwards though, so this levels out really.

Running campaigns is a huge undertaking and it is incredibly difficult to balance meaningful win bonuses against the prospect of creating a failure cascade.

TheChirurgeon posted:Wait, does 30k not have a fuckton of super-heavy vehicles now? I wasn't under the impression that the Mastodon was a 40k release, and it has way more knights Yeah, there are a lot, but most are Lords of War and you can’t take them below 2000 points. They also are restricted to being 25% of your army. Some of the factions like Solar Auxilia have super heavy tanks in their Heavy Support slots, but those armies are built around it. That crazy admech death ray thing and the mastodon won’t ever get played in games below 3000.

30k has built-in limits on the percentage of your army that can be a Lord of War, bonus points for hurting/killing certain LoW units, and offers other neat things in the LoW slot like Primarchs. Like yeah you can do Rogal Dorn in a Thunderhawk but at most normal points levels that's an insane choice. Even at 3000 points that would probably be nearly half your army (assuming you give him a bodyguard) just hanging in reserves.

That crazy admech death ray thing and the mastodon won’t ever get played in games below 3000. That's cool. 40k needs points-value gating on some units, like Lords of War. Still not going to play a game that is basically a slightly better 40k, only twice as expensive, though
