Hi!

The mime seems to cause all sorts of problems. ;)

I'd equate it to some mid-level power used before and assign it that cost.

Other than testing it, that all we could do for now.

I thought it was for two, but we'll let Magnus clarify.

Yep, just for one. Like the Warhound Titan, these little buggers came out rather expensive. Just for clarity, I'll walk through it step by step.

Movement: It's unitclass is Titan so 18; Move of 30cm is 6; Agile 2, Jump Jets 1.5; so 18*6*2*1.5 = 324. For comparison, the Phantom is 18*5*2 = 180.

Save: the values (6 for each 1+, 5 for each 2+, etc) for it's locations' saves added up comes to 124. This is about half of the Phantom or Warlock Titans' values (252 and 256 respectively).

CAF: It has a CAF of +7 so 7*4= 28

Weapons: It has 2 Pulse Lasers, a Missile Launcher, and a Scatter Laser.
A Pulse Laser can be fired in either or two ways each game turn, thus it's value is the average of the values for each mode. Single Shot mode is: 4 *1.5 (75cm) *2 (3+) *3 (TSM -2) *2 (1d3 hits) *1.5 (damages buildings) = 108 and Barrage mode is: 4 *8 (8 BP) *1.5 (75cm) *2 (3+) = 96. (108+96)/2 = 102. Thus total cost for these is 204.
Missile Launcher: just found an error. I forgot to adjust this back up for it's Barrage value. Thanks for asking, as I may not have noticed otherwise. Anyway, it's value would be: 4 *4 (4 BP) *2 (100cm) = 32
Scatter Laser: 4 *3 (#At) *0.5 (25cm) = 6
Total weapons cost is: 204 +32 +6 = 242

Special Abilities:
Hard to Hit: 15
Eldar Titan Holo Field: 25
Total: 40

Total single model cost is thus: 324 +124 +28 +242 +40 =759 with correction to Missile Launcher above.

This adjusts the cost of it's Special Formation to 1700.

Apologies. Immediately after posting that I noticed another error. I apparently forgot that I had realized that I should not be charging for 'to hit' values that are the default for a given number of BP for a Barrage. This changes things a bit.

Pulse Laser: as a to hit of 3+ is the default for 8 BP, that multiplier is removed, resulting in that mode being worth 48, and the final value is 78. Thus two are 156.

This adjusts the final single model cost of a Revenant to 711, and the Formation cost to 1595.

Also, I apparently forgot to adjust the to hit for the Pulsar above as well. This adjustment brings it's cost to 320.

Just noticed the Nightwing was not adjusted for its base cost for Barrage. Its single model cost is 203 and Formation cost is 445.

Yeesh, I really have to look through these things better.

If that's the case then I doubt very much if any will ever see the table top in Platinum edition...

Hi!

I think it has to do with the overvaluation of the "jump" capability as that sort of movement is rather expensive.

If you remove the cost of that ability what would it come out to?

Jump Jets need to have a value somewhere. Their value of *1.5 is equal to that of Jump Packs, as they do basically the same thing even though the method for the Jump Jets is a bit more complicated. In my view, the only logical place for them is as an adjustment to the Move value, as they affect how the model moves across the battlefield. Still, I suppose it isn't really quite as powerful as Jump Packs, so should perhaps be reduced.

Still, just for the sake of discussion, if the modifier were entirely removed the single model cost is reduced to 603 and the Formation cost to 1350. Thus removing it entirely is not the answer, as that is still rather pricy.

If the modifier is reduced to *1.25 (half it's current value), single model cost is 657 and Formation cost is 1470. This might be more accurate and more balanced.

Something else to consider is that unlike the Phantom or Warlock Titan entries, the Revenant entry includes ALL of it's weaponry. The other two do not. So for a fair comparison, one would have to select two arm weapons and two wing weapons. Let's look at how that works out.

A Phantom is currently 565 on it's own. If we select the least expensive possible combination of weapons: 2x Wing Missile Launcher (20 each), 2x Psychic Lance (50 each); that adds 140 for a final Formation value of 705. If we select the most expensive possible combination: 2x Wing Lascannon (100 each), 2x Pulsar (320 each); that adds 840 for a final Formation value of 1405. Thus any given Phantom Titan will have a cost between 705 and 1405. Thus, depending on the weapons selected, a Phantom will be worth anywhere from 1 to 2 Revenants. This seems about right to me. However, I'm not the only voice here, so what do you all think?

As a whole, all Titans and Praetorians are coming out of the system as being very much more expensive than in Gold, so it's not just the Eldar.

Hi!

Ah, I missed the fact that it is price with weapons, while others are without weapons.

It's where they should be then. :)

As primarily a Space Marine player I would look at this and think "For the cost of 2 revenant titans I can bring 3 land raider companies" and I would expect that 60 lascannon shots would take down at least one of them a turn. Now, I say this having not played for many years, so my memory might not be particularly great and I'm probably missing something fairly big here, but that example match up just seems a bit one sided.

As primarily a Space Marine player I would look at this and think "For the cost of 2 revenant titans I can bring 3 land raider companies" and I would expect that 60 lascannon shots would take down at least one of them a turn. Now, I say this having not played for many years, so my memory might not be particularly great and I'm probably missing something fairly big here, but that example match up just seems a bit one sided.


Hi!

I'm sure Magnus can do the math better, but land raiders hit on a 5+, so approximately a 33% chance to hit. However the holofields will block at least half of those shots. .50 x .33= .165 or 16.5% per shot to hit and get through shields. This percentage is further reduced by scatter and finally the armor save. So the per hit chance or taking it out is rather small.

This has actually prompted me to do a test. All those land raiders versus the revenant with standard terrain and see what happens.

I'm willing to bet the revenant can do pretty good given a competent commander.

That very well may be true. Go ahead and do some testing on that if you are able to, as how Primarch said he was going to.

Also, thank you for the cross-faction comparison. While the formula is intended to make everything points-balanced in comparison to everything else (unlike the old system where each Faction was only balanced against itself), it is likely not done yet. I seriously expect that it will need significant tweaking before being done. This exact sort of comparison will be needed to figure out what needs tweaking.

On that note, if you have never played with a Revenant Titan, please do so. I haven't myself either, but what I've gathered from several battle reports is that they are very powerful and versatile.

Hi!

I've used revenants quite extensively. Its another unit too good for its points. Even with some relative nerfing over the years, it a steal at its current points.

The cost analysis has revealed quite o few truths about the old points scheme, as well as pointing out the gross underestimation of certain units (mainly titans).

Funnily enough the current titan cost are more in keeping with the old AT values which were much much higher than the SM 2 era.
