Adeptus Mechanicus: Serberys Raiders

Product Information

Guardians go up by one point on 11+ model squads, going to PL10. This is a hit – otherwise there might have been a fringe argument for running 20-model squads with Superior Shurikens to come in and unleash death on something. In this article, I’m going to lay out some of the highlights you can expect when first embracing the Omnissiah, as well as some of the tribulations you should anticipate when appeasing the Machine Spirit. Chaos Spawn are now 1 PL per model. That’s pretty good for an underrated unit that can benefit from being placed in Strategic Reserves and given Contaminated Monstrosity to shrug off wounds.

Warhammer Community: Engine War - Requisition Approved (posted 3/30/2020) (last accessed 3/30/2020) The Lord of Change is now PL 14, making them substantially easier to summon, while Kairos Fateweaver dropped by 5, making it possible to summon him now on 3D6 with no modifiers. So what changed and how big a deal is it? We dove into the app this morning to find out and summarize the biggest impacts. For the most part, Power Levels changed to be in-line with the current points costs of units, though there were a few areas where it seems like strategic decisions have been made with Strategic Reserves costs in mind. Sisters of Battle have a fairly recent codex, so their point changes are primarily just slight inflation, with 1 PL increases here and there. A few of them have some impacts if you’re actually playing with PL.Chaos Spawn are now 1 PL per model. That’s pretty good for an underrated unit that can benefit from being placed in Strategic Reserves. A full squad of 5 is now only PL 5. Strategic Reserves are kind of a “nice to have” add on for the Drukhari, who can already teleport units of any size onto the table for 1 CP or 3 CP to do two units, meaning that using Strategic Reserves will typically require having a second unit of 9 PL or lower to put into Reserves. Those aren’t really in the Drukhari army. The only notable change from the PL update is that Wyches now start at PL 3 and go up to 12, meaning that putting a full-size squad into Strategic Reserves will cost you 2 CP instead of 1, so if you’re going full-size and want to protect/teleport your Wyches in, Webway Portal is the way to do it. The Adeptus Mechanicus are the guardians and smiths of the vital technology within the Imperium. Helping to make and maintain the war machines and arcane weapons that are part of every aspect of Mankind. The Skitarii are the holy warriors of the Adeptus Mechanicus, blessed soldiers that are very loyal to the priesthood of Mars and fight to the last man to protect and help reclaim the lost technologies this secretive faction desire and provide the Imperium of Man to help bring victory on the battlefields throughout the Universe. Providing some of the very best and deadliest weapons the Mechanicus has to choose from, the Skitarii wield the devastating power of Mars in the name of the Ominissah. Beasts of Nurgle held firm, so if you’re planning an army that revolves around summoning a bunch of them mid-table, you’re still good to go.

Magnus the Red went up to 24 PL. This doesn’t change that much for him, since he still costs 3 to put into Strategic Reserves.Skitarii Marshal [3 PL, 45pts]: Relic: Raiment of the Technomartyr, Warlord, Warlord Trait (Codex 5): Serberys Raiders did not change. Still 2PL for 3 models. I’m still including it as a bullet even though it didn’t change because 2PL for 3 of these is a ridiculous steal. Serberys Raiders are well equipped for combat at every distance, with galvanic carbines offering ranged punch and finely crafted cavalry sabres for melee combat. The squad’s alpha is also armed with a hard-hitting archeo-revolver. They make for a versatile vanguard unit, able to ride ahead of their fellow Skitarii and even snipe at enemy command assets. Karandras comes down by a point, while Fuegan and Maugan Ra both go up 1. Mostly this is shuffling stuff for Crusade.

It’s August 10th and as promised, Games Workshop updated the Warhammer 40,000 app (well, the Android version anyways) and published a PDF with new PL values for all of the game’s units. While normally competitive games use points instead of Power Levels, these changes still have far-reaching consequences beyond casual play and Crusade: Several rules in competitive 40k, such as the new Strategic Reserves rule, the Daemonic Ritual Summoning rules for Daemons, and some stratagems all use Power Level as a factor.Death Guard are a slow army, so there’s a real need for Strategic Reserves with them. Any drops here on units with a 4” or 5” Movement value will be helpful. Bullgryns came down in PL a little, to 5 for the minimum size squad, though going up to 6 will cost you 10 PL and still mean 2 CP for reserves. A max size squad is now 15 PL. Ogryns also came down, but now 4-6 of those will only be 8 CP, leaving you room to outflank them for only 1 CP. Soul Grinders’ PL went down by 2, making them reliably easy to summon on a 3D6 roll. You’ll still need to spend 2 CP to outflank one of them, however. Sicarian Ruststalkers down to 4PL from 6PL for 5 models. 10 Ruststalkers are now 8PL instead of 12PL. Ruststalkers are still bad. Kataphron Breachers down to 5PL for 3 models from 8PL for 3 models (and 20PL for 12 models). This is important because the Agripinaa Forge World has a strategem Fresh Converts to redeploy a unit of Kataphrons at full strength (i.e. resurrecting dead models as long as the unit hasn’t been wiped), and is costed based on their PL. 1CP for ≥5PL, 2CP for ≥10PL, and 3CP for ≥20PL. Previously, the most Kataphron Breachers you could redeploy would be 6 for 3CP (meaning resurrecting up to 5 Kataphrons). Now you can redeploy 12 Kataphron Breachers for 3CP (meaning resurrecting up to 11 of them, which is 385 points worth of models). This is Admech’s only strategem that keys off power level.
