Is Purge the Foe as Problematic as people make it out to be?

Well, certainly a big shakeup on dispositions this last slate...

I think its great that GW is currently going through and trying to fine tweak things and shotgun blast others, it was a bit of a strange slate if i'm being honest.

That said, Purge has always been a hot point on contention i've seen and now that we have had time to play this edition, I find myself both surprised and not at where purge lies.

The playrate to winrate doesnt exactly line up, with Purge slowly dropping in its middling winrate over things like Take and Prio. Its been slowly dropping in both ends and yet GW seemed to think it was necessary to adjust its values. I think they might have overdone it a bit...as some armies that favor Purge playstyles only have 1 or 2 very restrictive ways to take those lists. As it stands, most armies have access to Prio or Take more than anything else, and its a bit odd for some killy factions to skew back into 10th listbuilding mentalities when the promise was variety.

Either way, Id be interested to hear what you all think, and how Purge has been for you. I often compare it with a Aggro deck in MtG, where a fast hard hit can dictate a game and just largely invalidate the primary...since theyre dead!

Why the Hastarii released to mediocrity | Comparing Admech datasheets!

Hi All,

I decided to make a video on comparing the newly released Hastarii to pre-existing datasheets in the admech codex.

Key takeaways are how the Exterminators are decent at their job, but there are better options in the codex with things like Destroyers and especially ruststalkers. This obviously depends on the style of your list, but for the most part, Im confident in saying they are kinda edged out by better units.

On the conversation of the Fusiliers, they tend to be far more outscaled by one of admechs best units, the ironstrider. While these guys can definitely help you pinch a penny, they have far less reliable output compared to the Ironstriders, especially in the aspect of range and durability.

Having tried them out a bit on the tabletop, I wouldnt say theyre abysmal, but they really dont have a home in most comp lists. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts or account on how you managed to run these guys in your games too!
