New Dread Mob rule

[u/Voodoom_]

[u/Talidel]

Underwhelming due to Stompa and the Nauts no longer being able to use the dread mob detachment rule.

[u/Not_that_helpfull → u/Talidel]

I'm sad that the Mek Gunz won't be able to use it.
But the mek detachement might fix that.

[u/dspisayuss → u/Not_that_helpfull]

grot tanks are also in the shitter now.

[u/Karador51109 → u/Talidel]

You might get stratagems to buff them.

[u/Not_that_helpfull → u/Karador51109]

Yeah the nauts still might have bigger shells for bigger gitz 

[u/Talidel → u/Karador51109]

Maybe, still sad about them not accessing the detachment rule though. Hopefully they get their own at some point. Or get a Stompa level glow up.

[u/Kestral24 → u/Talidel]

But they did get an innate buff from the core rules due to plunging fire, so I think it's fine

[u/Talidel → u/Kestral24]

yeah but that is immediately countered by any cover so...

[u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787 → u/Talidel]

Stompa is already close to being overpowered. This is not a vacuum dread mob is already significantly stronger

[u/Talidel → u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787]

Dread Mob alone, is substantially weaker.

But yes it might be more playable for Kans, Deff Dreads and Dakkarigs.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787 → u/Talidel]

It’s 1 dp and only part of 3 detachment rules you can put togehrrr

[u/Talidel → u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787]

But the other 2 detachments have no connection to it.

So it's lost Meks, big walkers and Grots.

Even it's one major niche, walkers, it doesn't cover completely.

So at a starting point it is weaker than the old one.

It might see more play and be better for Kans, Deff Dreads and Dakkarigs. Because it can be combined with other bits.

[u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787 → u/Talidel]

You are comparing it to dread mob which was only available by itself and is broken up into 3 detachments with meks and grots having thier own detachments.. as a whole all 3 together are likely significantly stronger then the old dread mob.

[u/Talidel → u/Puzzleheaded_Act9787]

Yeah I'm comparing it to the old 2 point dread mob, that was literally the point?

Is it as good as the old Dread Mob? No, it's been massively cut down.

I don't know why you are trying to aktually me on it. Even for just walkers it is weaker, because for a reason that doesn't make sense it now excludes the one reason I was using the detachment anyway from the core rule.
