Here are some other key points:<br /><br />-Fast vehicles now move 12" and shoot two weapons. In fifth you could move 12" and shoot one primary and all defensive weapons, which meant you couldn't shoot multiple Str6 weapons the way you can now. This is the primary reason Wave Serpents are better today than last edition.<br /><br />-Skimmers now have the Jink rule, so Wave Serpents basically got free access to the Flickerfield Dark Eldar have to pay for.<br /><br />-Overall there are fewer vehicles in most armies. Str6 weapons are decent against vehicles but great against infantry, so the hybrid lists that are everywhere today are a great matchup for your Wave Serpents.<br /><br />-AV12 is fantastic right now. There's less Str8 out there (autocannons and plasma are way popular at most tournaments), but they can only get an actual result on you 17% of the time they hit; they strip a hull point twice as often, but glancing hits no longer Shake or Stun you so you can keep on shooting.<br /><br />Those are just some of the reasons I like Wave Serpents now. Sure, you can't score from inside of vehicles anymore -- who cares? Place two objectives in your deployment zone (if you don't know your zone, make sure they're spread evenly) and one in the middle of the board, then hide/reserve scoring units. You don't have to be in the Wave Serpent for it to be good.RPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324087361092731834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88884153093801815.post-84898486589223541102013-05-10T17:46:05.521-07:002013-05-10T17:46:05.521-07:00For the most part I didn't really start playin...For the most part I didn't really start playing 40k until about a year or so ago. I ended up using a harlie death star with Eldrad with a lot of supporting fire from a squad of war walkers which a lot of other players have complained about or fear and I only run one squad of 3. I've won a large share of the games I've played, though I haven't really played against many tournament caliber lists.<br /><br />One thing I am confused about is from what you say Wave Serpents have gotten better with 6th ed versus almost everyone else saying that they aren't worth their points especially compared to other codexes(codii?) along with the change that vehicles don't count as scoring even with troops inside.Novixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496648314767656784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-88884153093801815.post-3876725904529464652013-05-10T17:45:17.653-07:002013-05-10T17:45:17.653-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Novixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09496648314767656784noreply@blogger.com
