LEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKSSSSS

Ok, so obviously the first thought is gonna be "my army is cheaper now".
But with all the points reductions, it really feels like every army got significantly cheaper. In fact, i barely see any nerfs. For example, imperial knights are still crazy undercosted.
When most things either got cheaper or stayed the same, all this means is 2000 point armies are going to require even more models and games will take even longer to play.

Holy Hell, blight haulers dropped by half...I will use the shit out of those now

At least I think they did. It says that is the price without war gear, but they can't chose their war gear.....

What's the price of a Land Raider in the current CA?

Sad to see orks didn't get anything, but then we just got our codex so I imagine all our buffs were planned as such. Still, I had hoped the stompa wouldn't be as overcosted as it is.

These are all pretty amazing buffs for everybody, some of them really sorely needed. No idea why Knights were barely touched and Guard got buffs across the board despite everyone else needing buffs just to catch up to the the current Guard, but I guess Cruddace just can't stand his army not being the best.

Will be interested to see what other faction rules might be changed, as well as that Sisters beta codex!

Do you think it was enough?

Yeah... I usually like running a Tyranid Prime, because I like warriors and a S5 bonesword is deec, but the new cost puts them into competitive level lists supporting a couple broods of warriors (now with cheaper VC's, which were never a bad weapon, just costly).

Granted, many people think Warriors are too 'jack-of-all-trades', but the cheaper buff may be what they need to do that job well enough to be warranted.

I do think it's likely that the Neuro going up was more of a gut reaction to "we're seeing so many, they must be too cheap" instead of "It's a floating stormshield that fills an HQ slot"... you would have seen plenty of the other options come in if the Neuro was still at 70, because the other options have utility the Neuro doesn't, now for a very reasonable price point. But anyway.

Haven't looked at what this would actually mean for my regular list - I do think this is likely to pull at least half of those units into "solid" range, but some I think will still be left out. Malaceptor is still probably an overpriced psyker with a kitchy (in a bad way) special ability, Lictors are cheap but the only thing they actually do, Rippers still do better.

Flyers? Cheaper helps, but I don't know that they hit the sweet spot to make up for being as fragile (and really not dangerous) as they are. I do think they look great on the table though, so maybe at least in "friendly competitive" they can eek in. I've heard people going crazy over the new cost of the Exocrine, and T-fex to a lesser extent. Also wonder if the T-cyte drop will be enough to make it a viable choice, or if T2 DS (plus other rules interactions limitations, like SwarmLord) really just killed that whole idea outside of "funsies".

Anyway, I'll have to check my list... I wasn't using the bulk of these things (and don't own Pyrovores... oof those'll be nasty in Kraken), but I'll def see some drops from a few things here and there.
