What changes do we need in January?

So it's no secret that as a faction we are having abit of a hard time of it currently. Luckily we are a due and dataslate and points update in the next few weeks. Question is, will GW help us out.... Needed Point Drops Bloodletters -40pts So I seriously think Bloodletters need a big drop to be anywhere near decent. They are a severe glasshammer who's 2 attacks that hit on 3's are very capable of bouncing off alot of targets. Both the Bloodmasters and Skulltaker are great additions for Bloodletter squads but for those combos to cost over 200pts is insane! Daemonettes -40pts Again, I seriously think another big drop is needed here. Super super squishy and while they can dish out a nice amount of dev wounds, paying over 100pts for 10 nettes feels bad in my opinion.

Comparing them to a unit like wraiths for Necrons, they just feel sorely overc...

MSU at Leicester

The List Be'Lakor  The Bluescribes 5x3 Nurglings  3x10 Plaguebearers 1x6 Bloodcrushers 3x3 Fiends 2x3 Flamers 3x3 Screamers So, I've been running alot of msu recently but dropping both Shalaxi and Skarbrand gave me access to far more utility pieces, though the damage does get tanked as a result. The Crushers did give me the ability to just absolutely smack something with mortals while the Fiends were really dishing out the dev wounds.  Games Eldar 78-69 win Double Avatar, double night spinner, 2x5 hawks, 2x5 spiders with a smattering of characters. This is always a tough match up, but managed to protect one midfield objective while consistently con...
