====Cons==== * With the 9th codex being absolutely fucking broken thus far, you're back to being the most hated faction in the game. Have fun finding matches. * For the Greater Good is gone, as is our immunity to charges in the charge phase. * Virtual army-wide BS 4+ meaning the so-called "Ranged experts" of the galaxy are only as good as your off the line Imperial grunt. Worse, is that they have expanded the 4+ to hit to more units, though HQs are still safe. **And to rub salt in the wound, Markerlights are now strictly worse than [[Warhammer 40,000/Tactics/Genestealer Cults (9E)|Genestealer Cults]] Crossfire and [[Leagues of Votann]] Eye of The Ancestors. * You'll still crumple in assault against just about anything actually optimized for it. Using your [[dakka]] and mobility to make sure they never get that close is still the key to survival. * Because of the sheer number of Tau units that have the {{W40kKeyword|FLY}} keyword, beware of enemy AA. * Our snipers are built into a firesight marskman, and they still suck (luckily not as bad as they were but it's still a strong meh). * You can no longer stack 5 markerlights to get 2+ rerolling 1s to hit Broadsides on flying grav tanks with the velocity tracker wargear. Markerlights are used up the moment a unit fires on the lit-up unit, and afterwards it is removed. * You have no psychic powers, few defenses against them, and no cost-effective way of eliminating the {{W40kKeyword|CHARACTERS}} who are hiding among infantry. Anyone running [[Thousand Sons|heavy]] [[Grey Knights|psy]][[Daemon|chic]] is going to have a field day with your lack of Deny the Witch outside of an Enclaves-only relic. * You may get frustrated trying to master your shooting, and -1 to hit like on Alaitoc and Raven Guard will make your game a painful, infuriating slog. Thankfully, the days of -2-4 to hit are gone, but -1 to hit on BS4+ is still nothing to write off. *In 9th Ed, being able to {{W40kKeyword|FLY}} no longer allows you to fall back and shoot. :( * You are currently very reliant on Stratagems. Expect to burn through CP like no tomorrow. * The glottal stop of everyone trying to pronounce your new apostrophe. * GW can't be bothered exploring the possibilities of giving you tons of auxiliaries because they're too busy giving Space Marines another captain or lieutenant or something like that. * Fish of Fury is back. [[rage|Also some factions can do it to you now without having to spend CP.]]
