You know these alt-universe rules were written about 10 years ago? The "time taken" to brush them up to mk3 is close to zero.
The rest of your salt is off topic, and if this is all it takes to set you off maybe you should take a break.

Cryx tears? About themes? Really? REALLY? Dont get me wrong, the other 5 themes are Incredible, and even though dodge is an excuse in order not to give the theme a benefit less its a good theme for the models it brings. It would be nice to use the thrall models though (in a competitive way) You know these alt-universe rules were written about 10 years ago? The "time taken" to brush them up to mk3 is close to zero. The rest of your salt is off topic, and if this is all it takes to set you off maybe you should take a break. You are totally right

Sure you get to move, but you just lost a system. Infernal Machines is utter crap, and this is coming from someone who only plays infernal machines.

Yeah, that part was refering to scourge (IM doesnt have good units either except maybe for soulhunters which are goodish)

People need to start playing Coven Scourge and experience the wonder of an Egregore with dodge.

Agreed, I didn't mean to imply that they are now bad, just that their old feat would've had great synergy with Dodge on the solos. is gaspy3 the new king? maybe denny2? Having played Denny2 a bunch of times now, she has a lot of matchups where her feat is almost non existent (looking at you Krielstone) and most lists can take out at least one heavy even through the feat. Outside of said feat she also doesn't make our ARM 17 heavies harder to kill, unlike Gaspy 3 granting it +2 ARM in melee which complements Carapace nicely. Damnation is also the poor mans Mobility for anything aside from LoS issues. She has a lot of tools and is a blast to play, but Gaspy 3 is definitely the better all-round caster.

that makes sense. with the counter play to incorp being magic weapons.
much like baldur2s feat with weapons that ignore spells.

Play Denny2 into Khador. 45% of the time the only magic weapons in the list will be aiyana and the caster, if they're playing jack heavy maybe some forgeseers.

Against lists with limited magical weapons, it is indeed great, but even into Khador, you will lose 1 heavy on feat turn. Against such lists, it is possible to use your feat aggressively (to move through and assassinate), but this also requires you to outthreat your opponent. Auras like the Krielstone or Sanctifier, basically turn off your feat, defensively as well as offensively. And they neuter your personal assassination to almost non-existent. Haley and her Dominiation is also no fun. Point is, Denny is countered by lots of things, Asphyxious is solid all around. Either way, we're going way off topic
