Any news on Power level for 9th?

[purestrain]

I'm really champing at the bit to play some crusade force with my friends! We just need to know what the new formula for PL is or what they flat are, any known rumours?

Does the power level of the revealed space marine/necron books make sense to understand a formula? im not that smart XD

Based on what I am seeing here: www.belloflostsouls.net/2020/07/warhammer-40k-indomitus-necron-point-values.html

It looks like roughly 20 pts = 1 power level. If you divide a pt value by 20 and there's a remainder, then add 1 power level. (So for example, if something is 130 pts then it is 7 power level)

However, there's a Canoptek Reanimator at 110 pts that is rounded down to 5 power level. So that formula is not consistent. And with necron warriors, you'd expect them to be 12 power level for 20 but instead they are 10 power level. So the formula is 'something close to 20 for 1 but sometimes it's whatever the hell GW feels like doing.'

Thanks, typical GW move "Let's not make sense so they have to listen... and then still not make sense!"

Could also be that power levels are weighed in favour of fluff, so big blobs might get a slight discount because it feels more in tune with how the army is supposed to play, and Power Levels are not meant for 100% tournament-level game balance, just quick and dirty roughly-equal fun.

We’re also taking this opportunity to tweak the Power Ratings of a few units in light of the new edition’s rules. We’ll be making those free to download next month, so stay tuned for the latest updates.

They should have just had the PL get updated and be in the CA points books however.

Yeah I saw that, I just used the calculations above to make a crusade force, I'll just adjust the units when they get revealed if they differ.

Also, haruspex mulched 2 bikers, 18 boys and their war boss. Would have killed the pain boy too but he made a fnp on the flail.

Haru beast mode

I'd ask what you're feeding your haurespex to get it to go beast mode, but I'm guessing that's the list above.
