Games Workshop Appologizes for Leagues of Votann!?

 


Oh man, GW actually apologized for how strong League of Votann rules are written.

This is amazing. I can't understate how important this is to the community and the hobby. 

Could this be a knee-jerk reaction? Sure. Is this the result of a few vocal Youtubers, bloggers, Redditors, and public whining? Absolutely. 

I have no inside information, but I do consume Warhammer content like a Tyranid at a Sizzler, and it does appear to my eyes that there was a lot of negative feedback from community posters and some feedback from former (nay recently fired play testers) that has lead to this pre-release nerf. 

It's not that big of a nerf, if I'm honest, and it keeps the LoV in line with armies with similar abilities. With the Nephilim changes in secondaries, it just goes to show how each army can be teetering, and a slight tweak can upset the balance of power in the game. Necrons went from zeros to heroes just by getting great secondary objectives without changing the army or points.  The tiny LoV rules change was for the better and it makes me happy to see this implemented. *Grain of salt* I haven't played them, or against them yet. 

Now if James will just fix Nephilim missions...

My favorite part of the video: "They haven't won a tournament in 30 years."

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.
