The majority of a battle in 7th was won with army selection and list writing. Now with independent characters being open for death if not properly placed, clever tactical play to force the King out in the open as it were really pays dividendsRob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-19484264190055113162017-07-27T13:27:20.163+01:002017-07-27T13:27:20.163+01:00I look forward to seeing your forces battle in thi...I look forward to seeing your forces battle in this new imperium :)Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-45998862230780292472017-07-27T13:27:02.527+01:002017-07-27T13:27:02.527+01:00Well thank ee your majesty!Well thank ee your majesty!Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-12408274630264335192017-06-27T10:20:30.239+01:002017-06-27T10:20:30.239+01:00Some great points there, Rob!
I'm with you on...Some great points there, Rob!<br /><br />I'm with you on power levels, they can be so open for abuse. Especially with my Deathwatch, where every member of the unit can be easily upgraded for no points. <br /><br />I've only played a couple of games of 8th so far, but this edition is pretty brutal. Both games have seen me almost tabled with my Deathwatch army. I still need to get the hang of them in 8th edition.

I've played three games at ...I agree very much. I've played three games at 750pts with the primaris marines from the box (well, most of them). Combat is very much a place for those who are designed to be there, and even with a pair of wounds each and good armour, my force was quickly whittled away once they ended up fighting units they should have been shooting from afar.<br /><br />I'm firmly of the opinion that writing a balanced list has become more of a challenge than before, and I've got a 2000pt game coming up on Thursday that I've already written a couple of lists for that I'm not happy with. I'll probably write a blog post about that in the next couple of days, but fitting everything I want to use into a list is no longer that easy, and whilst the game has gotten quicker and we'll probably see bigger games played in tournaments, I think the points increases for a lot of things will actually see army sizes in terms of minis reduce a little bit.Triple Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002702481127525157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-28940397522992260112017-06-26T14:33:32.897+01:002017-06-26T14:33:32.897+01:00I agree with all that, mainly mirrors my own views...I agree with all that, mainly mirrors my own views but I haven't had a game in yet.Rory (Stepping Between Games)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11795468944108833350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766430862052117520.post-80399602505316203112017-06-26T12:58:38.132+01:002017-06-26T12:58:38.132+01:00Well spoken, good man!Well spoken, good man!King Georghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03157277267960508211noreply@blogger.com
