The points are here!

I think I'd prefer Killsaws getting the anti vehicle treatment over devastating wounds. Trading off an attack compared to the PK for the ability to threaten every vehicle would be much more worthwhile IMO.

I don’t think it’s the only leader you want for meganobs…
He’s only 4+ invul to unit from shooting
And reroll 1 to hit shooting
All of which don’t work inside a trukk….

His coolest benefit is the bring back model but meganobs aren’t designed for shooting… and those buffs conflict with detachment and army rules which mostly benefit melee… exploding 6s, +1 str/atk in melee…

I think a warboss in mega armor benefits the meganob more in the trukk man missile.
He gives meganobs +1 to hit in melee making those dual killsaw a reliable 3+ to hit profile…

I think the MegaManz unit is best suited for dumping them on an objective and just being an obnoxious unit to remove.

6 MANz and a KFF MegaMek is 23 T6 2+ wounds with a 4++ against shooting, and puts out a not insignificant amount of shoota fire with rerolled 1s to clear away chaff infantry with better OC. Anything that tries to fight you for it is getting smacked. You can then start restoring models when you take damage or restore a handful of wounds with the oiler.

That's decently tough to shift regardless of whether you try to shoot them off or fight them.

It's not the killiest unit, but it is pretty hard to shift.

Ghazzy is 235 points at least.

But a lot of things seem more expensive than what i would have wanted.

but MAYBE thats because all upgrades are just.. free? or am i missing something. I dont see an upgrade point sheet for weapons and such.

235 Ghaz :(

Painguyz are a bit expensive too. Killrig too.

points are now a non custom "package" .

i mean.. he used to be 300 points. At least hes down in points now.

But a lot of other things have either gone up or not down at all. But i dont see any weapons costs for nobz and mega nobz and such.. I wonder if you can just give them what ever weapon you want and its free.

Both morkanaut and gorkanaut are down in price too. Stompa for, inexplicit reasons, are up to 800 points.

Please use the new thread. I will request this one to be locked while everyone is reading through the points (which can be found in the new thread)

Oh wow that was fast.

You do Gods work Jidmah

Question - are wargear options free or something?

Am I missing the points values for those? I take it they are either trying to bake those into the unit costs as some kind of a power level analogue or the wargear is going to be released separately?

Heads up that this thread will be closed soon and you probably want to head over to the new thread that Jidmah just made. However, to answer your question, wargear options are now all free and baked into the cost of the unit. This also means fixed unit costs, you can bring 8 models instead of 10 for Nobz, but you'll still pay the full cost for 10.
