Any good GSC articles?

Hi, just wondering. Are there any good GSC articles out there after 9th edition came with point increases? Most I find is outdated in some form or other. I wanne learn.

No, unfortunately everyone does "reviews" before they actually go play the game. 40k has pathetic sequencing for review releases. 90% of all reviews are done immediately as codex released.

Half of the Warhammer Community, Tabletop Tactics/Titans suggestions and tactics are and were illegal on launch. Things like setting up within 3" of an objective is nice in theory but reading the rules illegal to do so unless your opponent left nothing there.

Even the Art of War guys (Nick Nanavati, John Lennon etc.) Who are the "pros" only speculate on what could work, and preliminary again.

The internet is full of free advice, which is usually the worst kind and inaccurate.

Goonhammer usually have good articles - they have a series of changes to each faction from 8th to 9th. Their GSC faction coverage is fair if a little depressing.

Art of War had John Lennon and Alex Mcdougall on to speak about GSC - from memory, Lennon was running a Forces of the Hive Mind, while Mcdougall was all in GSC (his list is discussed elsewhere).

The common entry is that both Nids and GSC have reverted to a shooting army. Ridgerunners and Exocrines are largely interchangeable, and both armies need to soak damage like mad in order to hang on there. GSC can do so via numerous 6++ 6+++ bodies which continue to output threat, Tyranids do so via tanky warriors or Zoeys.
