For the cost of four Shield Drones, 60 points, we could take six Gun Drones. In 8th, a Riptide armed with a heavy burst cannon, a pair of smart missile systems, an advanced targeting system, and a velocity tracker would’ve cost 278 points. Why would the designers spend a significant amount of time assessing new points costs when a whole new codex might be just around the corner?But to play devil’s advocate, players might be waiting a good few months for their 9th edition codex, and in the meantime they’ll be playing with points costs that aren’t quite right given the context of the new edition.This is a reasonable argument, but between the two options — spend more time on a detailed, comprehensive points update or spend less time on a broad, imperfect update — I would choose the latter. While these units share linguistic and thematic similarities, they each have distinct uses to the player choosing to field them, as well as important benefits and drawbacks.

9th edition represents a significant change to the game. 9th edition is on the way, and with it a whole raft of changes to the factions of Warhammer 40,000. It remains to be seen whether other T’au units will come to the fore in terms of competitive builds, but at least for now we know that Riptides and Drones remain at the top of the pile.

Granted, we’re still using six-sided dice and toughness characteristics and hit modifiers and so on, but 9th is certainly more different to 8th than I thought it would be.This is to say that we’re playing the game in a new framework, in a new context. We know that the game is getting smaller and quicker, but we don’t know what logical framework Games Workshop used to assess which units should take an increase and by how much.Indeed, we don’t even know that there was a logical framework at all.But before we go too far down the path of GW-bashing, let’s take a brief pause. De momento la único que me ha chafado es la imagen de la Stormsurge (parece un fanart ‘-.-) pero a parte de eso tiene cada fotaza,,,Tu dirección de correo electrónico no será publicada. Y encontramos ya el PDF de este nuevo codex por el Cubil de Pumuky, el lugar donde todo el saber se acumula para vosotros.A disfrutarlo. For example, the two variables above apply to both T’au Pathfinders and Aeldari Rangers. I’ve absolutely no doubt that the design team is particularly busy at the moment. With a Shield Drone, of course, we have a 33 percent chance of ignoring the mortal wound entirely.

It shouldn’t be at all surprising, then, that some of these points changes look at least somewhat arbitrary. Gun and Marker Drones don’t have this ability, meaning that when we pass off wounds to a Gun or Marker Drone using the Saviour Protocols ability, the Drone itself takes one mortal wound and is slain. Veteran T’au players know that there are a dozen or so Drones available — most of which are quite obscure — but the ones with which we need concern ourselves are Gun, Marker, and Shield Drones.Shield Drones increased by 50 percent, from 10 to 15 points.

The more we spend, the more we save, so to speak.Shield Drones are a brilliant unit, but are they 50 percent better than a Gun or Marker Drone? What do I mean by this?

Seguimos  recuperando el saber de Warhammer 40000.

By only considering two variables, GW would have ignored all sorts of important aspects of models that fit into the above categories.
