Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
A New Season of Reviews - A Challenge accepted!
The nefarious trio of World Eaters, Death Guard and Thousand Sons are set to get their new Codexes next. Actually, the great FOUR are each getting their favourite Legion's new Codexes but Emperor's Children did not have an actual Index before.
Anyway. I was speaking to my friend @nicolaasmuller about how my Review posts might not make a lot of money for me, but that cumulatively and on average some of them do good and overall there is an average that at least means that there is good movement of income into the Hobby Fund and that it would grow from there.
We were throwing around some numbers and looking at the average of my last 10 Review Posts, 20 Review posts and 30 Review Posts and we could come up with a range of how much I should theoretically be making across a large sample size of completing the remainder of the reviews for the nefarious trio mentioned above.
So Nicolaas says to me something along the lines of: That would be pretty cool if you could do it in like, a month. Maybe do like 2 a day.
Alteration So @nicolaasmuller and I worked out that firstly - due to family obligations, I had missed out on some days not being able to blog at all and having no laptop with me and more on the way... and the fact that he had said 2x posts a day from the start would have made it a 40 day challenge. I shall adjust that number below going forward...
So I explained it would be a little bit more than that but sure... it would be cool... is that a challenge? And yeah... here I am... Challenge accepted. 😎
It is now Day 35 of the Challenge.
Totals so far: 68/70 Datasheets done, 3/3 Army Rules done, 1/6 Detachment Rules done. Total 72/79.
Time elapsed: 87.5%
Progress completed: 91.13%
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $295 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
The whole project has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
659 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #322, I am 337 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
Thousand Sons, Tzaangor Shaman
10th Edition Index
Tzaangor Shamans can lead Tzaangors and Tzaangor Enlightened, but I feel like Tzaangors would be a waste... or maybe that is just coloured with the fact that the Enlightened are so cool.
Beyond that - More Cabal points and some strong spells.
He costs 60pts to field and the model costs $37.
Let's check his stats!
Stats
Movement 10"
Toughness 5
Save 5+/6++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 4
Ld 7+
OC 1
Weapons
Standard Wargear: Mutating Orbs, Shaman's Stave
Ranged Weapons
Mutating Orbs
18" Range, D6 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S9, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
Psychic (This weapon has the Psychic keyword)
Blast (This weapon gains +1 attack for every 5 models in the target unit, rounding down)
Devastating Wounds (Rolls of 6 to Wound cause Mortal Wounds)
Melee Weapons
Shaman's Stave
3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S5, AP-1 and D3 Damage each.
Psychic (This weapon has the Psychic keyword)
Abilities
Cabal of Sorcerers 1 - This unit ads 1 Cabal Point to the pool per turn.
Dark Blessing (Psychic)
While this model is leading a unit, that unit has the Feel No Pain 5+ Ability.
Bestial Prophet
While this model is leading a unit, each time a model in that unit makes an attach, add 1 to the Hit roll.
Thoughts
Yeah, having those Tzaangor Greatbows hit on 3+ would make them awesome. Not to mention that when this model leads a squad, his own Mutating Orbs hit on 2+.
Giving those Flyboys a 5+ FNP would make them last so well!
And there we go! All the Thousand Sons Index is done!
That makes 28 Thousand Sons Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 100% Completed. The total Completed is 35.15% Complete! Can I review them all?!
