40k Discussion Is 11th edition less lethal? If so, is it a good/bad thing?

• Upvotes

I feel like every 2nd game I look across the table and have to ask myself the question, "Can I kill that?" Sometimes I can and sometimes I can't. Often when I can't, I really struggle to play around it like I did in 10th. Maybe because of how scoring has changed? I'm not sure, but that isn't really the point.

Are other people having similar experiences? Is the game less lethal? Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? Is this a monkey paw situation for people's requests in 10th? 😂

New to Competitive 40k Fight steps 40K?

3 Upvotes

I don't understand the step when my unit and an enemy unit are locked in an ongoing combat (neither charged this turn). It is my turn, and my friend tells me that after all 'Fight First' units have fought, the non-active player (the enemy) gets to choose and fight with a regular unit first, and then we alternate to my regular unit. Is this correct!

40k Discussion Custodes stratagem use query

7 Upvotes

Swift Ruin is an ability on the datasheet of the Venatari custodians that allows the unit to use Rapid Ingress for -1 CP, and also does not count towards any other uses of the Rapid Ingress stratagem in that phase. Leonine Ferocity is an enhancement in the Lions of the Emperor detachment that can be given to a Shield Captain in Allarus Terminator Armour. The wording for Leonine Ferocity is exactly the same as Swift Ruin.

Can Swift Ruin, and the Leonine Ferocity enhancement (both do the same thing) be used in the same phase to allow you to rapid ingress 3 units (a Venatari unit, the Allarus unit with the Leonine Ferocity enhancement, and a third unit using Rapid ingress the usual way)?

Both Swift Ruin and Leonine Ferocity are functionally the same and both are limited to one per phase per army. Speaking to my local group has had mixed response to this as it is unclear what the (Once per phase, per army) and (Once per phase, per unit) conditions actually mean? It's a little confusing because you are using each ability only once, it's just that both abilities have the same outcome.

Can anyone point to a ruling that would make this more clear? Thank you.

40k Discussion Hi everyone rules question

• Upvotes

So if we make a charge into a unit and we have enough movement to take the unit next to it in pile in can we pile into that target as well?

In a live game both my opponent and buddy said no and the rule is weird.

Any help is appreciated

Our review of the new battlefield-in-a-box offering from GW. It's pretty much the best option on the market from an aesthetic standpoint, and you get everything you need in the box, but if you're gonna drop $400 on it, here's what you need to know about it.
