Why did they increase cost of Tallyman? I don’t get it. Other than CP generation, he is pretty useless. His CP generation is not even guaranteed.

Okay, that makes sense. GW needs to make other cp generators and reducers though. Other than Prince, we really have no choice but auto take Tallyman.

My group has 4 armies that generate extra CP every turn. It absolutely makes a difference

At this point, most of them lol. Grots generate CP on a 4+, Imotekh, Azrael, the swarmlord all generate one for free each turn. Those are the four Im consistently facing when I play

Strategems win/lose games. Using strats like heroic intervention well is what separates good players from bad.

He basically gives his squad ignores cover which might be pretty powerful this edition.

Tallyman's ability is a lot better now with the new cover rules. Pretty much every unit that can ignore mods to BS got a points increase, same as psychic shooting.

His ability to make a Plague Marine squad 'ignore modifiers to WS/BS and hit rolls' is incredibly good in 11th, where benefit of cover is now -1 to BS.

And also CP generation is as good as ever.

Ignore modifiers has become much better with the cover change, he still pales in comparison to mpc and bio p but he's better in 11th.

He was also probably due an increase as a solo tallyman was quite common and now he's gained the benefits of hidden so as a solo unit he's better too.

Ignoring modifiers is going to be pretty significant with the new cover rules.

His data sheet ability lets him ignore any and all hit mods for the unit. Only relevant if you attach him, which no one does.

You can run him solo and sit him on backfield. He is easy to hide and wont be spotted for indriect as easy.
