Hi Guys
I'm just wondering what you all make of the Wraithknight now in 8th?
Let me explain my feelings about the big guy.
I've always used one or more because I love the model. People I regularly play against play BIG.....small games are 2500pts and it grows from there. The chap I play against most has a vast 'Nids army which is currently enjoying the best codex it has seen. On top of this, he uses more zilla nids than you can point a amphetamine parrotty stick at.
Despite the loss of Destroyer, and increase in points, I'm finding my WK's to be real eveners. They help me hold my own against pretty much anything, and this is down to many of the 8th ed rules.....enabling me to blow holes in anything with the Heavy Wraithcannons, then kick the stuffing out of units in combat. Being able to move with no loss of BS, and shoot at stuff I don't have to charge is awesome, as is splitting fire....
When he tries to swamp me with gaunts emerging through tunnels I stomp them, jump out of combat, shoot something, stomp something else....no loss of performance.
The WK's hefty toughness and wounds (especially with the Iyanden rules I follow), keep him busy and killing late into the game. My opponent cannot level enough firepower in any one flank to kill one off, where he CAN when I use multiple Wraithlords.
The big guys are enjoying a new lease of life in my games, it has to be said.
Still using WK's? How are you finding them in the current rules?
Cheers, Reborn.
