This week the pactbound master himself Sascha joins me to review the best constructed and balanced faction of the edition (in our opinion). Hope you enjoy. CSM hot takes below------>They all look great, very very points dependant. Defiler datasheet is amazing, but dinner plate for a base means things are still rough unless it's sub 200 points which hey, victrix are a thing, so who knows. Mutilators are amazing if you can deliver them, but points will make or break big time. New character is ace and kind of slams in combat with quality buffs, so hoping he finds a place, likely oblits auto take if you are going there.
