Just got around to watching this review. The Mandrake kill team preview in the second release of season 3 inspired me to break out the Hand of the Archon and try them out. Appreciate the review!
RE: Feel No Pain mechanic: I mean, the Flayer CAN conceivably hand out a Pain token to a friendly within 6" if/when it scores crits in melee (which you'd be a fool not to spend 2 EP to give Toxin Coating giving it Lethal 5+), but that's very situational and likely won't happen until turn 2 at the earliest. Agree with your assessment that it's more of a win-more faction ability and the rare situation where the compendium rule is preferable.
6+ feel no pain is so dang good with elixicant. Have him work a flank with flayer and duelist. Can heal on a turn flipping combat drug to give movement, helping melee elves rush in, and keeping them alive to go full vitamix.
Guess im gonna have to get the compendium :( but thank you for helping me understand i was missing a lot more information xD and why the game felt so not great
@@CanYouRollaCrit people are currently debating on the discords if they are better than corsairs, which is wild to me lmao. I get it I love my corsairs. I just won a tournament with them but hand is just better lol
It’s as if they were playing the same build and kept making those incrementally worse without realizing people can just avoid them (or ignore the mechanic) and still be stronf
PfP feels just like they went with the original codex rule sadly ): Darklight balance (capped at 2 weapons) is probably the main thing they caught in testing
@@CanYouRollaCrit I asked in particular because of the misreading of how their marking works, as that might have been a significant reason why you thought of them as being very strong. However, I also don't quite see why you consider them to be stronger than Corsairs. Is it just the Drukhari melee specialists being better?
@@CanYouRollaCrit True, but they don't inflict damage. We'll have to wait and see, I guess. I know *I* won't point it out to them as I lob toxins at the Monkeigh! Muah ha ha haaaa! XD

These videos are great, this is one of the best kill team related channels on YT right now
Ah thanks dude, you're too kind 🥲
@@CanYouRollaCrit keep up the quality content! Been watching these videos while I build and paint my soulshackle box
Couldn't agree more!

Ah great, hope you're having fun! Mandrakes are hypeee

Yeah, like it's not horrible but just not something you can really rely on
Love the sound of this team! Can’t wait to get them on the table 😊
Me too, they're great!

Yup he's great
The bird only works for skysplitter assassin like you've said, so no, you cannot shoot them with a blaster
Yeah, misread him. Only noticed when I got the book haha

Nice review as always tempted to give them a go.
Thanks! They're fun!
Great content again!
Thanks, glad you liked it (:
Very hyped for these!
Fellow Drukhari enjoyer
@@CanYouRollaCrit yes I remember when these sculpts came out and still love them!
This team is looking good and very drukari fluffy!
Yup, can't wait to play them!

Feels like the team was OP during testing and got toned down in really odd places
How so?
Mainly power from pain and the secondaries

So this kill team could most likely be kitbashed from older kabalites??
With some Wych and Wrack bits, yeah
Sorry for the noob question, I'm new to this game. Can someone give an example of a situation when the use of Heinous Arrogance ploy would be good?
Vs 10 or 9 operative teams
Has your evaluation of how strong the team is changed since you made the video?
Not really, its only been like 2 weeks?

Could you throw the Torment Grenade from Conceilled? Is it counting as a shooting attack?
You can, it's not a shooting attack
@@CanYouRollaCrit That's likely to get FAQ'd, but for now, yeah, yikes!
Nah, stun grenades work the same way since the game dropped
@@CanYouRollaCrit True, but they don't inflict damage. We'll have to wait and see, I guess. I know *I* won't point it out to them as I lob toxins at the Monkeigh!
Muah ha ha haaaa! XD
Torment grenades for all Mon Keigh :D
Total noob here, can someone explain the use of Heinous Arrogance?
What does the ploy do?
First! Also excited to see what these two new killteams can do.
They're both very fun!
