Is an allied Scion detachment really worth 2 precious CP? I honestly can’t say right now. It’s a damn shame too: given the new 9th edition detachment rules Scions also got harder to bake into your army while keeping your delicious Scion detachment bonuses.

This percentage is further driven upward by a “hilarious” +2 point bump on Tempestus Scions (or 28.6% for you math nerds). Given the seeming new floor of 5 points for a model however it was pretty unavoidable to have at minimum a 25% increase on 2 of the 3 Troops choices in the Guard Codex. It doesn’t get much worse than that, lads. Just going by the numbers, the Troops slot for Guard has taken a big hit with a 26.2% cost increase in model costs overall. We’ll talk more about this guy later on in the article. Guard fared pretty well in this slot, considering that my most leaned-on choice, the Tank Commander, only went up 9.2% on its 8th cost. Besides Pask (+8 points), and the Tank Commander (+13 points), everyone else just received the standard +5 point bump that we’ve been seeing around the neighborhood recently. That’s not too bad, especially when you consider that the percentage is primarily driven north by the staggering increase to the Primaris Psyker (whose increase has largely been offset by having his staff now baked into his points). Overall unit costs for HQ choices have increased an average of 12.3% off of the 8th ed equivalent.

I don’t see this changing much with 9th Edition. Credit: Scott Horras “Heresy” HQsįor the majority of 8th Edition the Guard have leaned very heavily on the HQ slot. SPOILER ALERT: …maybe it ain’t all that bad. Instead of an intro, I’m just gonna open up with a meme here:Īnyways, let’s go on an adventure together as I break down just how doomy and gloomy it might be for the Guard in 9th edition as an age without Vigilus Detachments. Today, Scott Horras “Heresy” is taking a look at the Astra Militarum.
