Tacticals don't seem quite as invincible hand to hand, but still tough. Massed tac range spam still seems overwhelming.
Argus Ruins (4p), aka "Space Marines win", continues to be the worst fucking map in the game. The entire upper 2/3rds of the map don't matter since 2 of the victory points and the majority of resources are all tightly grouped at the bottom. Early on it's just a matter of who gets a ranged until into the bottom building first (marine scouts). After that it's a matter of parking your long range army covering the flags and pelt your opponent with artillery. WHICH RACE COULD HAVE THE EARLIEST AND BEST RANGED ARMY???
One major blow to Tyranids: they have absolutely no way to effectively clear buildings anymore other than the losing end of attrition. Spore mines have 2 modes now: an instant stun that does no damage, or the old damage explosion but now it takes THREE SECONDS to charge up while your mines just sit their and start wildly glowing to warn your opponent. They can't hit shit now and are basically more vulnerable stun bombs at 100/5 cost per pop. Awful awful change.
Still scratching my head over Tyranid redundancy. Why would I want warriors again? Adrenal gland warriors cost the same as a Carnifex and are available at the same time.
Not that Carnifexes are that great anymore. They're basically more expensive dreds/tanks that can't move for shit and dish out less damage. |
