A job for the next few days, then. As for my Tau thoughts, well I still need to decide if I even want to keep the army, let alone how I want to field it! You are commenting using your WordPress.

Triarch Praetorians , for instance, have seen a chunky reduction of 26 to 20 points when armed with rods of covenant, or 22 points when armed with voidblades and particle casters.

As experienced Warhammer 40, players will know, Aeldari flyers are excellent picks for matched play due to their firepower, speed and durability. A number of options that our playtesters found were consistently overperforming have had their points nudged up.

This seems like a pretty standard maelstrom mission with 3 cards a turn. The bonuses for killing enemy units would favour an army that can hit pretty hard. Some of these may be difficult to achieve.

In this mission, each player draws three tactical objective cards at the start of their turn. At the start of each subsequent turn, they must discard any tactical objective cards they have and draw three new ones. This mission has a special stratagem called Second Chance. This costs 2 command points and allows you to select one tactical objective at the start of your turn and not have to discard it. I really like this mission. I normally try to cycle through as many maelstrom cards as possible in a game, so this one really suits my playstyle.

This forces you to play very aggressively in achieving cards, as you simply cannot wait for the opportune moment to score them, but must go all out to get them each turn if you want to score big. I look forward to playing this mission. In this mission, you draw up to four cards per turn. Each turn, before you draw new cards you must declare your gambit.

To do this, you choose how many cards you think you will achieve in your turn, between 1 and 4. At the end of your turn, if you achieved equal or more than your gambit number of cards, you score that many additional victory points. This is another mission that I think will be a lot of fun to play. You need to predict how well you think you will do in your turn and gamble to score additional points.

Do you go big and try and rack up your score, or be conservative to gain a few extra points each turn. I think in the first turn, it would be good to predict just one or two cards. Once you see your hand, you will have a better idea how much you can achieve in subsequent turns. During this game, it might actually be better to not score cards for a turn to then know your full hand in the following turn where you can try and score them and bet big if you think you can achieve them.

This could be a great mission if you find yourself falling behind on maelstrom points, where you can catch up quickly with the right bets, or by stopping your opponent from scoring to get his gambit points.

In this mission, you draw up to 3 cards in your turn. This mission ends when either player is the first to achieve 10 tactical objectives or you roll at the end of turn 5 as normal. The player that achieves 10 cards first scores a bonus 3 victory points, meaning they are likely to win the game unless their opponent has only scored a few, high scoring cards. This seems like another fun mission that forces you to go all out and score your cards as quickly as possible, carefully sacrificing your unit to achieve the objectives- exactly my kind of game.

This is one mission where a bad draw of the cards could hurt a lot. Might be worth saving a few command points to use the New Orders Stratagem to allow you to draw a new card. In this mission, players start with 6 tactical objective cards. Once players have no tactical objective cards left, they draw 5 new cards.

This mission also has a Stratagem called Acceptable Losses. For one command point, you can discard up to 3 of your tactical objectives. This mission could allow you to wrack up quite a few points if you draw the right cards.

Another mission that looks like a lot of fun. In this mission, you divide your army into three roughly equal portions and randomly determine which third starts on the battlefield. The rest are deployed in reserve. In this mission, you draw up to three cards per turn. The player that scores the most victory points wins. All reserves arrive at the end of turn 2 movement phase. This mission restricts the number of unit you have on the table to try and achieve your tactical objective cards.

I can see this mission scoring big in the second or third turn as all your forces arrive and can start scoring. This mission, as with most maelstrom missions, would favour a fast moving and mobile force that can get around the board quickly to score points.

I really like the new maelstrom mission. These are one of my favourite mission types, so I am looking forward to trying out the new missions, some of which seem like a nice tactical challenge and a lot of fun. What do you think of the new missions? Which is your favourite? Excited to try them out on the tabletop?
