Excellent work as always Magnus!

I don't know what to say about Primarch Magnus of course. It seems...excessive.

Hi!

I'm not surprised on Magnus' cost. He is head and shoulders above any of the other daemons. So much so that he is the most commonly seen greater daemon in net epic games.

He flies, he's a psyker, his eye of magnus can kill titans, etc. He's basically better than all the other greater daemons put together.

If you were to remove his eye beam power he would be comparable to the other

In fact unless the other greater deamons can somehow all get into close combat with him, he can literally kill all of them with his eye.

He's just too good for the points. This is one model that needs as serious nerfing. If not it should at least cost more than all other greater daemons combined.

Hi!

Magnus, if you were to remove the cost of the eye weapon and just list the cost of it akin to a good psyker power, what would the cost be?

Without the Beam of Power, his cost would be: 48+20+80+40=188

How much higher it would be would depend heavily on the exact Psychic Power. For example, adding the exact powers that a Tzeentch Magi has would add 168.9, whereas adding the powers of an Eldar Warlock would be 259. Remember, I'm individually valuing each Psychic Power, generally as weapons as that's how most of them work. Can you be more specific as to exactly what power or powers you think PM should have?

I also noticed as I was going through these that the Tzeentch versions of most things tend to be more expensive overall than the others are.

Hi!

No single power or set of powers is going to be a good match, so I guess we need to make an independent valuation on this particular power.

If a warlock is 259, the cost of the eye beam should be at least as much if not more.

Since you are evaluating each power individually and this is such a unique one, I would assign this power a cost superior to psyker of highest cost. So if the warlock is the most expensive psyker (or grouping of powers) the eye could be 300, making the total cost for magnus 188+300=488.

Tzeentch stuff will be more expensive over all since most of it flies or have clearly superior abilities (like horrors splitting in two for example). This is expected and acceptable. :)

What you've both suggested above seems fair enough to me. I completely agree that he is way better than the rest and needs to be more expensive. It's just a question of how much more and it looks like you're well on the way to sorting it! ;)

Er, we cannot just give an undefined Psychic Power a value and call it good. That breaks the entire concept of the points system. To be able to put a points cost to a power, it would need to have exact and specific details on what it is and does. If you are trying to say that the Beam of Power would now be considered a Psychic Power, that would not change it's value in any way, as it does not change how it works or how well it works.

I guess I wasn't specific enough. It's not that a Warlock costs 259, it is that the Psychic Powers that a Warlock has is valued at 259. Same with Tzeentch Magi. In fact, that value of 259 is really the average of the costs of a Warlock's three powers, since the Warlock is limited to one power per turn. I can go into details on how that value is determined if need be.


That said, I really don't think that replacing the Beam of Power with some other ability is the way to go. It is really his signature ability. Perhaps it could be weakened a bit, but not too much. Let's see what we can do.

I decided to look back at my copy of Renegades (Epic 2nd edition) and see if we could save any points by regressing PM back to those stats, but his stats there are nearly identical. The only difference is that Renegades says that PM can "attack buildings" with the Beam, whereas NetEpic says he "Destroys Buildings". I suppose we could reduce "Destroys" down to "Damages". Doing that would drop one modifier from *2 to *1.5, bringing the cost of the Beam to 2126 and his model cost to 2314. [Company cost: 2915] While this is a bit better, it still seems rather high.

Looking at the stats, the TSM really stands out. At a -6 it is tied with being the strongest TSM in the game with the Plasma Destructor, Plasma Annihilator on maximal, Eldar Tremor Cannon (under certain circumstances), and the Zoanthrope (at 25cm range) being the ONLY other weapons with TSM of -6. Even the Volcano Cannon only has a -4. While I do feel that the Beam is supposed to be one of the strongest weapons in the game, dropping it to a -5 would mean that while it would be below the named weapons above, it would still be stronger than everything else in the game. Dropping the TSM by one point to -5 would adjust the TSM modifier from *7 to *6, which adjusts the weapon cost to 1823, the total model cost to 2011, and the formation cost to 2535. [Including the adjustment above.]

The next thing that I'd recommend reducing is the Penetrating. [Heck, I'm already cheating on the modifier for this value as I'm treating the Beam as a Titan weapon.] If we reduced the Penetrating value from +3 to +2, that modifier would be reduced from *2.5 to *2, this would reduce the weapon cost to 1458, the model cost to 1646, and the Formation cost to 2075, including both adjustments above.

The only other thing that I'd consider reducing is the Range. If we drop that from 100cm to 75cm, the range modifier drops from *2 to *1.5, the weapon value is 1094, model cost is 1282, and formation cost is 1615, including all adjustments above.

While the TSM or Penetrating could be reduced even further, doing so would run the risk of making the Primarch less unique. At 1615 he is a bit more than twice the cost of a Lord of Change (note the cost increase on that model as well), and significantly more than every other Greater Daemon except Bubonis. This might be the right spot for him.

Hi!

I agree Magnus needs to be "nerfed". The eye beam is so over the top that it alone makes taking any other daemon a waste.

I also agree that to begin circumventing the points formula with "special" arbitrarily assigned cost is also not a good idea.

Even in first edition the lord of change was more expensive, but was not so overpowering.

I like your recommendations on reducing the stats on it. Lower the range to 75cm, I would even entertain lowing it to 50cm since this is more in line with other psyker powers, lower the TSM to at least -4, I would prefer -3 with a penetration of +1.

What would the cost be with range 50cm, TSM -3, penetrating +1?

It's high time this ability gets reigned in. IMO it is probably the single most overpowered ability in the game as written.

In my view the Beam really should be significantly better than most Psychic Powers because he IS a Greater Daemon and they are not, and a GD of the deity of Sorcery no less.

Still, that said, it doesn't hurt to look at lower stats.

With Range reduced to 50cm, TSM reduced to -4, and Penetrating reduced to +1, changes are as follows:
_ Range of 50cm reduces the Range modifier from *1.5 to *1
_ TSM of -4 reduces the TSM modifier from *6 to *5
_ If Penetrating is reduced to +1, we really should return to valuing it as a non-Titan weapon, which means its modifier remains at *2
These adjustments reduce the sequence to 4*1*3*5*1.5*2*1.5*1.5*1.5 which comes to 607.5 weapon cost, 795.5 model cost, and 1005 Formation cost.

We probably should not reduce the stats any further because doing so would bring them below the stats of the Daemon Prince of Tzeentch's weapon (50cm, 1 attack, 3+, -4, Penetrating +1, Physical Psychic) and the master should not be weaker than the servant.

Personally, I'd leave the Range at 75cm even if TSM and Penetrating are reduced (to -4 and +1 respectively). This would bring weapon cost to 911.3, model cost to 1099, and formation cost to 1385.

Hi!

A range of 75cm, -4 TSM, pentrating +1 physical psychic looks about right in power and cost. I will use these stats and cost for the platinum version of Magnus.

Thanks!

Argh, the same error I made on the Orks also affected the Tzeentch Automations. Fixed now.

With these adjustments, I say we just go back to the 'base' stats for Primarch Magnus, as he is no longer the most expensive model or formation for the Chaos Powers. That honor goes to Bubonis.

I am planning to do a list of the cost for a Mark of Khorne for every formation that it can be applied to, but that will have to wait for a time.

Hi!

I for one have no problem with the base Magnus cost. He is seriously overpowered IMO. I don't think I have ever played a game or witness one with chaos NOT bringing him to the battle. That tells me the unit is too good.

I consider Magnus just as useful, if not more so that many titans a he stands.

It will be nice to see a chaos game with other demons and primarchs. :)

Hmm, seems I forgot about our old friend the Banelord Titan when I did the tweak runs for CAF. It has two weapons that can adjust its CAF. Putting the Banelord's two weapons through that adjustment lowers the cost of a Banelord formation by 5 points. The cost of the Banelord with Command does not change.

Lord of Battles weapons are now:
__ Chain Fist: ______________ 35 __ 35 __ 35 __ 35 ___ 35 ___ 35
__ Death Storm: ____________ 135 __ 35 _ 135 __ 35 __ 135 ___ 35
__ Doom Burner: ____________ 205 __ 50 _ 205 __ 50 __ 205 ___ 50
