Faction Focus and 11th Edition
*Not news or a rumour, but not sure what other flair would've been more appropriate.
I love chatting to people about what they think is coming in our future, especially with the faction focus posts and 11th on the horizon. So I'm curious, what are you guys hoping to see for our humble Kindred this edition? I'll start:
Faction Focus
- I'd love to see Delve be 1 detachment point, given what the detachment actually does for the army, seems like this could easily be a reality, maybe give the Kahl an enhancement to attach to zerks.
- A Grimnyr detachment would be really awesome to see. They definitely make warrior bricks chonky, but the ability to attach to other units would be amazing.
11th Edition and Beyond
- Zerks: I really want to see some changes to the Beserkers datasheet, either their statline and/or their abilities, to make them feel worth the 100pt they currently cost for 5 models. Alternatively, a point cut would feel good as well if no statline changes, maybe 85-90pt for 5? They hit hard but die to incidental fire unless you roll hot. Being 1 wound is tough in an era of huge volume or multi-damage weapons.
- Hearthguard: Let's be honest, they need to be harder to shift. 2 wounds? 1 heavy bolter attack will kill 1 hearthguard unless you make your save. That's hard to stomach when your death brick costs 335pt... They need to be T6 and 3W. I'd even cop a 5pt increase as well.
- Jump Pack Infantry: It's been said plenty, but we need some kind of jump pack infantry. With the new edition, were not necessarily a 'new' army anymore. Often our roster is missing a key piece that almost every other army has, and while I love my pioneers, their footprint is a hindrance more than I'd like. Jump pack infantry would solve one issue, and GW already has a model for it, so good god GW, where are my sky dwarves!?
- A dedicated battle tank equivalent: Yes yes, land fortress... No! Gimmie a proper armoured cannon! Put the Arkanysts to work! Surely they have some crazy idea they've been told 'No' to for too long. Unleash the beast!
I'm sure I could think of some other ideas but I wanna see what you guys think.
