New player disappointed with new Codex
Hi, fellow Khans ! I am a new White Scars player which, actually, didn't play a single game. I am right now kitbashing my miniatures and painting my army and, with the new codex, I can't help but be disappointed and was wondering what was the general feeling over here.
The thing that got me hooked on White Scars was the freedom of speed. With the 10th edition Detachment, you could advance, charge, fight, hopefully survive and the next turn, you could get out of combat, move 12'' with bikes or jump packs and charge something else.
Now, you can do this... Once per game, twice if you take the Detachment that allows to pick the Combat Doctrine twice. I just feel like it's a downgrade of what they could do in 10th.
On a sidenote, I am also kind of bummed that Kor'Sarro doesn't boost Outriders OC because my list revolved around having 18 outriders that could move all around the place and contest objectives. Nothing remotely close to being competitive, but I am bummed nonetheless.
Apart from that, the datasheets looked so much better (Even tho we don't have the point cost yet.) but I just feel like the ''feeling'' of the faction isn't as present as the freedom of 10th edition.
Am I wrong ? I just want my bikes to go vroom, every turn.
