After some proxy testing and talking with others I don't know how you cleanly fix the issues with the space dwarves. They made a broken central mechanic, then hinged all of the Faction's synergies on it, so if you fix the mechanic you fuck up the other parts of the design. Everything but the troops and the heavy weapons squad is at least 25-30% undercosted. And Greater Thurian League having a completely different rate of resource acquisition fucks with any attempt to moderate the power level by adjusting grudge duration, since if you make them decay or reduce rate of gain, everyone just goes GTL for guaranteed threes.
Still preordered them, but probably just going to be on the painting/assembly bench until they get a balance pass or two

It's like GW has two separate balance teams that are constantly competing against each other and trying to undermine the other.

Or... and I realize this is going to be hard to believe but, they make new things over powered on purpose to get everyone to buy it....

They seem to have failed to implement that plan with Chaos releases

Well that's nothing new for them, I was more specifically referring to things like large amounts of units with high invulnerable saves running amok, then units that can ignore invulnerable saves becoming more and more common, now there's units that ignore abilities that ignore invulnerable saves.

The problem is they realize people will buy chaos and SM no matter what.
You just wait and see I’m calling it. My Imperial Guard will be big dicking it when that codex releases.

It's not hard to believe. That has been their business model for decades.

Yeah, labeling it a mainline game now, instead of specialist. Bringing most of the generic space marine stuff to plastic.
Space Marine and Mechanicum rules are already updated, demons and guard should be updated by year end

Yeah still tons of fun to collect. I was telling
sukik
the best thing to do is collect the shitty armies first because they are cheap. I saw a black legion army going for almost twice it’s worth on eBay because of the new codex.Funny thing is the cheaper armies atm are really good in the rules as far as I can tell.
