With the looming menace of Knights coming to all tabletops these subsequent few months, because of these latest guidelines updates I believed it could be good to go through some Xenos solutions to the large boi downside. The combos right here aren’t all of them and I’m certain I’ll go through a number of extra within the coming weeks. It’s going to be a Sizzling Huge Boi summer season and can simply must see if our poor xenos armies can survive all of the stomping ft and indignant firepower these fashions can throw out. Or we simply be part of them within the large monster parade.

Hearth Dragons are going to be working time beyond regulation within the upcoming meta. They pure means to reroll the hit roll, wound roll, and harm roll when taking pictures at a Monster/Automobile within the taking pictures section goes to be killer. The Knight may simply make their saves however this could be one of many few methods to homicide one of many huge boys rapidly. These Aeldari don’t want the Falcon reroll, however it should a minimum of preserve them protected a bit and allow them to transfer a bit farther as wanted.
