The last model of 10th

My final model for 10th edition spent a long time on him and I'm pretty proud of my work! Also my last Norn! Pretty exciting milestone

The 6 norn list

Here it is, the 6 norn list, the biggest problem right now is what detachment to go for, invasion fleet seems good as I’m able to out the 3 assimilators in reserve to ambush their targets, but I could also run assimilation swarm for the healing, or synaptic nexus for the defensive strats, Ive thought about crusher but I don’t think it works well for the norn list.

So we all know in 11th fights first is changing to now, fights second, this hurts a lot of units but doesn’t make them unusable.

BUT I wanted to rant, fights first was not broken on some units, no one complained that lictors and leapers had fights first, one model units with fights first is totally okay and fun to play around as you can’t just throw cheap chaff at them because they could die first, but a 10 man of Ork boys could down a lictor or out OC the objective hell the lictor had a 4+ with no invuln.

The problem were the 300+ point mega death units that you could give fights first to.

No one cares if a squad of metamorphs have fight first cause they are a 5+ save with 1 wound, but if you have 6 blade guards with a leader with fights first Thats a lot of saves and wounds to get through making it really hard to work around to some extent, of course there is worse than this just an example.

So now all fights first units are punished because of these mega death units. The problem wasn’t fights first it was the units that could get fights first

Rant over
