Big competitive FAQ today, and possibly even bigger news that there is now a quarterly cadence for balance patches!
The nerfs look important but not impactful for our group - nobody has been playing AdMech, I don't play my Drukhari too often or too skewed, and the Orks players haven't been leaning in to the tournament winning stuff. Nobody really uses a lot of Aircraft, and the only games I've ever played where the new limitations (1 model max in Incursion, 2 in Strike Force) would have mattered were narrative games online against @Dekana where it wouldn't have applied.
That mostly means the buffs matter to us - tons of Core handed out to Necrons, and buffs to Leman Russ chassis and orders for Guard.
If this kind of pattern holds it could be really helpful for us - nerfs that only really hit skew lists we don't play, and buffs to weaker units/factions that can help out our more fun/fluffy lists, on a quarterly schedule sounds great.
