Are The New 40k Units Over Powered?
Here’s some quick thoughts on the new units:
- 600 points for the new titan that gives Tau it’s first Gargantuan Creature, with a D shooting weapon seems under costed when compared to things like the Kytan, or the Hierophant bio-titan.
- Skarbrand has some good buffs, but he’s going to be hard pressed to keep alive unless you use some of our “out of the box” ideas from the podcast.
