- Scorched Earth is still R2. Whoops!
I think that one of the biggest winners of this dataslate are Tyrant Guards since all their leaders became better:
- A Neurotyrant leading 6 Tyrant guards gives you T8 W32 OC9 3+ save split on 7 bodies that gives you 30 attacks that hits on 2+ (due Neurotyrant) S6 (due new synapse) AP1 D1 plus 6 similar attacks but without AP and a heavy flamer.
- A Swarmlord leading 6 tyrant guards gives you T8 W24 3+ save and T10 W10 2+ 4++ (and 5+++ vs precision) total OC9 with again 30 attacks that hits on 3+, S6 (due synapse) AP1 D1 + all swarmlord weapons + a vect aura that will mess really hard with your opponent CP management.
If you add the aura during Shadow in the Warp, different detachment rules/enhancements (like the option to gain +5 OC on crusher stampede due to the updated detachment rule and enhancement on Neurotyrant or a permanent 5++ for Swarmlord's guards on synaptic nexus or Regeneration on Assimilation swarm) I think we have a lot of potential for a unit that will sit on an important objective and will be really hard to kill.
Of course, all this depends on how the other armies change on this "Pariah Nexus season".
Finally, something that seems like most people missed is the ninja buff that Norn Emissary got due to the change on Dev Wounds... since Dev wounds are now Mortal wounds that does not spill over other models (Rules commentary PDF, Page 7, Under Dev wounds section), Norn Emissary's innate 4+++ save now works on dev wounds as well.
Mate all of the above is fire!!! Thank you! Been having a wee think on Assimilation Swarm this morning myself!
Another less talked about point is Winged Hive Tyrant. His largest issue was the damage output, that suddenly hit the 10 str breakpoint, meaning he can take on light vehicles/t10 or T5 units/models wounding on a 3+ instead of 4+ (twin-linked with the bone sword). You could buff his defensive stats in either Invasion Fleet or Synaptic Nexus all of a sudden, which lends him a little more staying power, and further promote using him as a fast, massive damage dealing roadblock.
Commentating for engagement and because i love what you guys do!
This might sound stupid, but the Tyrranofex with the fleshborer hive can walk up the board with the walking tyrant and blast 20 lethal hits sustained 1 twin linked at stuff, which doesn't seem bad. It's tough enough to hang on the front line imo, and if you shoot a exocrine at its target it'll be rerolling ones to hit. maybe a cheaper alternative to the dakkafex brick (without old one eye, ofc).
Interesting idea! Will have to take a look!
You can upie-downie two mawlocs per turn for 1 cp.
Indeed!
Cull the horde ended the unending swarm. The detachment rule doesn't work well with units of 10 rather than 20, and at that point you'd play invasion fleet swarm.
Thank you for the video
Fantastic video! Really interested in continuing learning how to play vanguard onslaught. Any new video after 1.5 on the topic would be great 😊
Looks like we're going to really dig into it on Monday :)
@@6PlusPlusGamingI'll look forward to the monday vid.
I think Swarmlord’s vect is now pretty incredible triggering immediately and “each time”, in Assimilation swarm with 8 Tyrant Guard he can dominate the middle of the board.
Yes that does sound interesting. Bit expensive though.
Davey straight off the top rope with a damage graph, you love to see it!
yeah i fluffed it though haha! Better graphs to come Monday!
@@6PlusPlusGaming A+ for effort tho!
I would be curious to see what you guys think is a good starting point for a vanguard list using the new updates.
We’re doing a vanguard specialist video on Monday 🎉
Just missed the live stream. Great show though guys. Lets have a minute silence for our beloved Hierodules.
@1:07:21 man you wilding with that take. Genestealers now wound space Marines on 3s, warriors can now reliably do ~14 wounds on t11 and below vehicles with twin link, norns, tyrants, and swarmlord can now hit medium vehicles on 3s and 4s. I think your take is wrong. It pushes us into the next threshold without being overpowered and getting extensive nerf hammers.
Now do Lists!!! ❤
Good point!
