Definately agree here; currently virtually none of the upgrades are worth taking. I understand the desire to add a premium on large formations, but this is currently too much.

Also, the costs of upgrades aren't even balanced against each other. 2 warp beasts costs the same as 2 wyches? Who'd ever take the wyches?

I would certainly in some cases. Wytches get free Raider which allows them to engage a longer way out of Portal.

Meh, I thought everyone put wyches in slavebringers?

Losing 5cm engage range is worth the extra attacks imho. Just put the executor closer :p

Anyway, would it really have been too far? The dogs move 30 in an assault, the raiders 35, so surely the dogs won't slow the raiders down or end up out of coherency, they'll just not be in the assault themselves? Surely the raiders will still make it?

And they disembark extra 5cms too. Also that extra model is always handy on such small formations DE have. I personally take wyches over beasts every time.

Just put the executor closer
Failed ini roll-> only hold action for moving, otherwise it would be within FF range too. :)

I've come around to Wyches and Beasts being about even so long as you use them in their niche... and if you don't you need to have your Eldar card revoked.  :)

I still can't get better than a 50-50 win ration with them which is disheartening given my perfect record with the IG.
