What I hate about Ben is that he's just a weird Magus. GW just did not know what to do for another GSC character, which is funny because no one asked for another GSC character anyway
@@Lirretobbyeah I actively didn’t want another character and I may just opt out of the rest of 10th edition over this. Literally the last thing the army needed, and extra insulting because they nerfed our Magus to trash tier this edition just so they could replace it.
That much for a Hazardous two shot lascannon and a slightly wonky buff?... Guard pay what, 50-60 for either three lascannons or one with a whole bubble wrapping infantry squad? Even with the buff it doesn't seem amazing (not terrible just not amazing) and it's definitely weird they gave them yet more characters in such a character based army.
You keep making videos and I keep watching? Deal. Also, my family who don't play 40 K (yet) love watching your videos too. Your humor style is right up our alley.
Great videos. Love the analysis and especially the humor/levity you bring but I can’t help but ask myself what’s the point? GW wants to sell me this book and they can’t even be bothered to put the points changes in? We get ANOTHER character unit??? Just add it to the pile of a myriad of reasons I don’t play as often as I did back in 8th
I think loading up 3 bens into a rockgrinder with a mining laser and rolling it around as an anti that thing unit in the outlander detachment (for that +1 hit on firing deck) would be amusing. Though very expensive depending on final point costs. But the rockgrinder can soak up any hazardous wounds for the bens and 6 2+ ignores cover (and potentially ap4 with ridgerunner support) lascanons isn't anything to sneeze at.
Cult Hades mining drill. Deep strike outside 9" then allow a unit too arrive within 6" but outside 3". Reduce reliance on one stategem and also can rapid ingress, raptors gonna mess up your neophytes, rapid ingress a unit of abberants in the way with the drill. ALSO FLUFFY. It adds more tools for the tool box and stays in theme with the army.
Hi Christian Von Carmian, new fan but big fan of your adepta sororitas content. I'm still relativity new to the army and i'm slowly building and painting an army of sisters (I adore them) I saw your video regarding the hidden ways to gather miracle dice. I would LOVE to make an army that pushes that mechanic to its limits especially when the new codex releases with the new detachment regarding two acts of faith per turn, if you haven't already I would love to see a video of you delving into gaining as much miracle dice and utilization of those dice as possible for that detachment!
To a new aspiring GSC player you're a legend! I haven't built my old GSC combat patrol yet , are you going to update your how to build video or would you say to still follow that same advice? Praise the four armed emperor.
There is, but I think it's not really enough to call her good, but better than she was. She can now unbattleshock a unit instead of the psychic protection and mind control is now 18" no LoS needed and is now a -1 to hit and wound instead of being unable to shoot.
Okay, wait, I thought the hits from Torrent were considered sixes? Gonna rifle through the rules real quick. Edit: Seems the consensus is no, but notably lethal hits does not specify a roll, it specifies a critical hit. But torrent is just a hit. Smart idea to curb the kind of power Votann had in ninth.
Brood brothers auxilia, 3 Benny in Rockgrinder, +1 to hit, rr 1s to hit for alphus, rr1s to wound for strat, triggered by Sanctus and some rapiras, +1 AP. And it's on first turn, not second like in index. It's 6 laser shots +9D3 from 3 grinders and 6 Ridgerunners on 3+/2+. You guys really underestimate this detach, it's our little ironstorm
but in that detachment I would prefer Guard tanks and heavy weapons teams for my lascannon shots. Even without a bonus to hit I think the points will work out at more shots. Then the GSC side of the army can provide the bodies
It's a straight buff. Supreme Commander means it's still only One Per army and Warlord, but now it can take enhancements and gain crusade improvements.
I have two major issues with this one. First: it is a terrible sculpt at a ridiculous price. Luckily this can be fixed by... just building your own version. The whole concept boils down to "dude with bigger brain", and there are plenty of possibilities to convert something fitting for actually resonable amounts of money. Second and irredeemable: it is just so UNNECESSARY ON SO MANY LEVELS. Nobody asked for a "Magus+1", especially not in such a horrible model. I still don't see what it in terms of gameplay options you can not get in other ways. I kinda hope actual gameplay experience proves me wrong and its rules provide something unique and useful and balanced - and do not leave the MAgus even more obsolete than it already is - but then... this is GW we are talking about.
As a German the Name Benefictus is a little "funny" . fic(k)t means f**** ... so Bene f**** us ... Seeing his Point Costs and what we can get instead in a Tyrannid Army the name seems to fit. But it's ok this new modelle is a little gift from GW for us and ... Gift means present OR in geman Poison. 😎
@@dongold9605 I just saw the changes... Only use I could see for my favorite GSC leader is maybe stacking the -1 with something else while leading a bunch of acolytes/metamorphs. Buuuuut there are better options for that.

Why didn’t they just give us a heavy weapons guy? Heavy guns is one of the only things we’re missing!
Or GW could've made an actual squad of three big brains. A unit, not a character! (I know I've said this elsewhere)

In an army that's supposed to have little individuality, there are a lot of individuals.
That dude needs a BIG hat to hide on a hive world.
Nah he just uses illusions of a giant turban to hide in plain sight
Old Tex with his 10-gallon hat is just an ordinary trucker, you pay him no mind

Imma call him Benny Big Brain.
Glad I'm not the only one!
He’s a big brain boi
Put three Mega Minds into a rockgrinder so you have a 10 wounds with 12 move and 6 Lascannons
You keep making videos and I keep watching? Deal.
Also, my family who don't play 40 K (yet) love watching your videos too. Your humor style is right up our alley.
great to hear, love to the the 13Bbeards family!

Also Ben is ugly as sin. Much prefer the brain boi Necromunda got. The new malign genestealers should be in our codex wtf

I will add that to the list of planned videos. It may be a while as I will have to playtest it a bunch

Praise the four armed emperor.
once I know more about what we have I will figure out which videos I need to remake
Goliath Truck is only Firing Deck 6 now, unfortunately.
Why is every single new thing I hear from the new Codex bad news?
Not sur why though...
I got the DELAQUE SPYKER model to proxy him in until the model is releases solo
Just hoping to have a buff for magus
There is, but I think it's not really enough to call her good, but better than she was. She can now unbattleshock a unit instead of the psychic protection and mind control is now 18" no LoS needed and is now a -1 to hit and wound instead of being unable to shoot.
@@Altines not bad if she’s still cheap
@@Onbutteredtoast Oh yea, how these changes shake out is going to heavily depend on point costs.
I think the goliath Truck is firing deck 6 now :(
Man this new codex really feels like a punch in the face.
All I‘m getting from this is:
-Mining Lasers reduced in strength (and apparently 1/10 instead of 2/10)
-Demo Charges reduced in strength
This sucks
Don’t forget Aberrants getting Strength, AP & Damage nerfs!

Can genestealer cults take an allied detachment of tyranids? Is that possible in 10th edition?
not officially, no
GW just wants money. I bet I could find this as an stl already. I've got some of those old school limos.
Is the answer to every GSC question Neophytes?

At this point GSC should have a detachment dedicated to having an army comprised solely of characters, since they have so many.
I had been hoping for that, the Xeno Creed is close
GW really just nerfed every good part we had
(Can't wait for a video of you opinions on the gsc codex when it's officially out)
It may be a long video in the making but I will find the good stuff!
Personally happy about one more psyker in GSC but I am little bit psyker obsessed and I simultaneously totally accept Christian's argument.
I can't wait to ride around with Jimmy neutron brain blastin stuff
How do you feel about the new patriarch not being epic hero?
It's a straight buff. Supreme Commander means it's still only One Per army and Warlord, but now it can take enhancements and gain crusade improvements.
Wait
When you say it has one shot, do you mean it has the One Shot keyword or that its Attacks profile is 1?
Attacks profile is 1 I believe
Yes, one attack
I have two major issues with this one.

Ben should be a unit of 3 . Or only 50 pts . Why can't we get Vehicles.
I get the feeling that someone at GW just saw Markplier Big Brain meme and thought "Hey that would be a cool character" and then worked around that...
As a German the Name Benefictus is a little "funny" . fic(k)t means f**** ... so Bene f**** us ... Seeing his Point Costs and what we can get instead in a Tyrannid Army the name seems to fit.
But it's ok this new modelle is a little gift from GW for us and ... Gift means present OR in geman Poison. 😎
Leathal hits -> crap
Devastating wounds -> auto include
I saw in a leak it's 80 points
Ben is just a Neurothrope Magus... I'd rather bring an actual Magus... Provided that GW actually buffs it.
Spoiler alert:
They didn't.
@@dongold9605 Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh... And if the codex leaks are anything to go by... GSC is in for a rough time.
@@khornebread4802 Magus has been in a bad spot for a while now. It's about as useless as a Branchwych in AOS.
@khornebread4802 the part that hurts the most is getting a S12 character while nerfing our only real anti tank weapon in demo charges down to S9.
@@dongold9605 I just saw the changes... Only use I could see for my favorite GSC leader is maybe stacking the -1 with something else while leading a bunch of acolytes/metamorphs. Buuuuut there are better options for that.
