8 TH edition bat rep time? Guard (me) VS Eldar at 2000pts, Mission: No mercy (kill points) I take Guilliman, a 50 man conscript blob, 4 commissars, 1 basilisk,1 wyvern, 1 LR 3Xhvy flamers battlecannon, 3 armoured sentinels w/lascannons, 2x hvy wpn teams autocannons, and the rest infantry squads with lascannons (7 squads) Eldar takes wraithknight, 10 banshees, the banshee woman, 3 wraith lords, 30ish infantry , the avatar, 10 scorpions, karandras, and some rangers His turn he moves up, takes a few pop shots, I lose almost nothing. My turn I knock off 18 health from the Wraithknight Next turn, he takes out 2 of my infantry squads in shooting and charges my conscript blob with Karandras, banshees, banshee woman, 2 wraithlords, and the avatar. For the next 2 turns he’ll be busy killing my 50 man blob, meanwhile I erase all his other shit piece meal in the shooting phase—meanwhile I line up Guilliman to enter the close combat fuckfest to start deleting his scary CC shit—once again piece meal. Turn 5 he GG’s, I had 6 killpoints to his 3. I had 15 CP (Brigade + guilliman), I spent almost all of it. Rerolls, counter charging, and auto pass battleshock are the shit. Astra militarum is unstoppable this edition.

Nice! Which parts of the IG do you think need to be toned down the most? What was overperforming and what was underperforming in your list?
Benjamin Powell
is anyone noticing typos in the index's? Like Nobz being 3-10 in the point list?

conscript blobs are too easy to take. before there were per-requisites.Now they are a troop choice. You could count on conscript spam being present in any meta worth a damn. So, conscripts overperformed by keeping his scary Close combat shit occupied for and what underperformed was heavy weapon autocannon teams. Hitting on 4's sucks, always has sucked but by golly its what makes guard balanced

Has this sector prepared their tithe?
Christian Morales
This doesn't.

Nothing wrong with that, the unit entry only talks about their minimum size with respect to power levels.
