Just played a pseudo game of 11th with all shown rules + 11th terrain (as of 5/21)
TLDR: jail is super easy to implement, shooting not fun statistically but feels very lethal when it goes through, battle line are juicy for new objective format. Sicarians die like flies to Ap 1 weapons now no longer an optimal elite inf killing weapon target for our ops
Jail is fucking nuts 2” engagements allow to lock so much of the board up both in 2cp heroic + long charges even more easy
Shooting is pretty bad now that covet is -bs if you don’t have massive buffs/rerolls/ high ballistic skill however it does feel way more lethal if you do manage to score hits due to the removal of blanking an Ap pip, conqueror feels nasty just picking up things with the extra Ap even with the terrible ballistic skills
New terrain/objectives is very nice especially for our Vic’s, very hard to almost impossible to be alpha striked, very easy to immediately start scoring primary and beginning the scoring very easy to stage
Assuming sticky works the same way rangers and other sticky infantry are insanely good plenty of ways to toe on sticky and back to being obscured including T1 scouting due to objectives being very close to deployment
Vanguard work really nicely with new hidden mechanic they have to walk into range to shoot us very nice bait piece to smack with fast infantry in response
Chickens feel great (no shit they def gonna fuck us with this one)
Robots make nice blockers (pls GW drop their points I beg)
Fly is gonna be pretty important going into next edition just to beat the massive increase in board control but unless they get tougher our batty boys struggle to not get picked up by the wind due to their large size and the smallness of mid board LOS blocking terrain - they basically need to be in the op deployment zone or they are dead - torrent is nice now tho but horde clearing is not something we struggle with
Sicarians do feel a lil more crumpable but it’s pretty marginable just a realignment of efficient profiles
Predictions for next edition (comeback to laugh):
Hounds jail list becomes highly playable
Infiltrators > Rusty’s (battle shock changes feel pretty nice but def not oppressive can see skew battle shock lists being a problem tho - hopefully this means rad zone is one DP and even more usable)
Beamer onager is juicy af with extra Ap into jail lists [anti meta prediction]
More of the same really we just became more efficient at scoring (yaya)
