Reading the old guide to vehicles with my toddler and found a blast from the past

Was not expecting to get punched in the face with nostalgia at the end of the book. Man I miss Galaxies

Successful Lists: Show Me What You Got

With the edition coming to an end, I wanna see what kind of lists everyone is currently running and what kind of success they've found with them, or alternatively, what issues you've run into that you think we could improve on in 11th.

My list is below. This list (more or less) has been my standard for RTT's for the last year, and according to my Tabletop Battles app I'm holding steady at 70% WR, hopefully that will continue.

For my issues: Thunderwolf Cav. I am very sad not to be running them, but I've found them to be far too inconsistent since the codex dropped. With the right tools and some decent rolling, they can absolutely make up their point cost, but if they don't roll well it feels like you're throwing points away that could be better spent on scoring units. Unless you're running the full 6, they aren't good enough at killing elites to be skirmishers, and they aren't durable enough to be cheap objective holders. I think if their weapons got bumped to S6-S7 they'd be golden.

I've noticed that the new edition doom posting and even talk of changing factions has started to trickle in, and I wanted to remind everyone of a few things as we near the launch of 11th:

  1. Everyone always thinks their faction is getting it the worst when a new edition rolls around and previews start to trickle in. We are not alone in this, and it's never as bad as you think it's going to be (if it's bad at all).
  2. We've seen probably 10-20% of the new rules/detachments, we don't have anything resembling the full picture yet.
  3. GW isn't taking wild stabs in the dark here. They've been balancing this game for a long time. Things inevitably fall through the cracks, and edition starts are almost always rocky, especially as they try new things like the detachment point system, but it always more or less levels out. We're gonna be fine, especially if you're not participating in the sweatiest of competitive play.

I know that seeing snippets of rules out of context might make things look underwhelming or outright bad, but it's almost never the case (emphasis on almost, sometimes GW straight up misses the mark. Looking at you, original Champions of Fenris).

Keep your heads up, everything is gonna be fine.

EDIT: For those interested, GW just confirmed that the detachments we've seen so far are all 1 detachment point out of the possible 3 (for 2k games).
