Warhammer 40k: Finding Balance Means Making Changes – FTN
The Balance update is here and people by in large seem to be digging it.
Is it what we needed to put Competitive 40k back on track? We are really seeing the beauty of the Matched Play rules design starting to flourish.
Like every other content creator that covers Warhammer 40,000 matched play we are talking about the balance update. It may not look like much but it is a doosey.
The Drukhari get a little bit of a downgrade by upping the points on a few units and the same goes for Adeptus Mechanicus. The good thing for those factions is it doesn’t make them uplayable in the slightest. The factions still have their teeth but opponents will feel like they have more of a fighting chance.

I think sometimes people sort of forget that several of the restrictions on how the game is played or how many times you can take X or do Y is a result of the Matched Play rules set which is a subset of the overall game of Warhammer 40k.
The Rules Folks took advantage of that and tweaked those matched play rules a bit to restrict the number of Aircraft that players can take based on the point level of the game.
The add to that the also put some restrictions in for the Orks limiting the number of a specific type of units they can take on the table as well.

FTN mostly focuses on Warhammer 40k, but you will see that in the first few episodes, we take a severe deep dive into nerdom. These have been a blast to record, and I hope they help pass the time for you. Please please please check out the new Forge The Narrative objective markers. These things look awesome.
