So the Black Legion changes have been announced so I thought I would make the quick comparisons. Note that a lot of what is being proposed has already been in place and tested in this list for the past year.
1. I have an issue with the Daemon Assault Engines in the BL list. I will review them against the ones in this list, however I cannot help think that the BL list has these costed incorrectly.
2. The Chaos Dread and 3+ save - The World Eaters are going to stick with the 4+ save as we see them as an older and perhaps degraded model (maybe even part flesh?) yet they have a very specific purpose, and that is for the drop. Hence they are costed differently dependant on their role. If they are used for the right purpose (drop pods), then their cost is made back through the buying of the Drop Pods. So no change in this regard.
3. Navy Initiative - World Eater Navy Initiative will remain at 2+. The only exception to this will be the replacement for the Despoiler Battleship which will be slow and Steady and attain a 1+ initiative (this was already in the works before the release of the Black Legion changes).
3. Price of Hellblades and Helltalons will follow the example as shown in the Black Legion Changes
4. Due to the Hellblade price increase,
and a decrease in the Hell Talon Bombers, we are considering an upgrade of 25 points to the Banelord with a little something *special* to stand out from the Black Legion version. ~~~ edited 10.45pm 5. Harbinger is to remain at 400 points - this needs further testing from others however I cannot see it going up in cost.
So as you can see, the Chaos List changes have brought very little for changes in this list. If anything, this list has helped to promote the changes that have just been released.
All that is left to do it to work on points 3 & 4 above as well as the other changes that were planned for the list. ÂÂ
I'll go back to lurking on this thread now...
