Yeah, something needs to be done about Tzeentch. Even with the nerfs, it's still the best way to play BL.

I've put up a cleaned up version of Black Legion on Tabletop Simulator with the current stats + the discussed changes to daemons: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... 1337928312

Noticed that there's a difference between the Banelord crit in NetEA and the E-UK. In NetEA it just runs around but takes no extra damage unless it runs into something it can't go over. In E-UK always suffers at least one additional damage.

I much prefer the E-UK version as I think the Banelord crit is pretty darn good already. Maybe something to consider?

Flamers - why not simply replace them with Horrors from the Daemon World list? They have a perfectly fine "troops daemon" 4+/4+/3+ statline already. The Flamers are "elite daemons" in 40K, too, it always seemed a little strange that these were the lesser daemon choice in Epic.


This. And model problems are obsolete.

Will these changes be in effect for the European Championship?

A bit of a late reply, but...

These are the changes that have been highlighted for development by the NDC project

Increase range on Hellblades to 30cm from current 15cm.
Increase range on Hellblades to 30cm from current 15cm and decrease AA to 6+ from current 5+.
Change flamer attacks from 2 4+attacks to 1 3+ attack.
Give Daemonettes 20cm Move.
Give keeper of Secrets 20cm Move.
Undivided beasts gets 5+ save from current 4+

I've no problem with any of them (except for raising the Hellblade range without changing it to 6+), but I'd particularly appreciate testing of the daemon changes (especially the flamer and the beast changes).

I've been using the Black Legion list heavily the last few months and IMO the list is well balanced and has very few never-use units or formations. However there are a couple of issues that could do with some discussion.

Cult Marine upgrade - I never use this as the cost of adding 4 stands that don't really add much apart from Fearless is prohibitive. I'd always choose 2 obliterators over them. We could change the upgrade to 2-4 or even have it replacing CSM stands? Connected to this and will need the view of the WE champ as well is whether Berzerkers need changing to make them, and indeed WE, viable.

Bikes - currently 300 for 8, compared to Raptors at 175 for 3 (8 for 315). Do the bikes need more flexibility or a pricedrop?

Apart from the Hellblade changes that all looks good, and I strongly support the idea of Cult Marines being a swap rather than an addition.

I'd also like to see that the SM rebate for Land Raiders that is being discussed carries over to CSM lists.

Also this, doubled. It was already odd that non-Fearless non-TSKNF Chaos Land Raiders cost as much as TSKNF SM ones, that they now cost more as an upgrade is even worse.
