Tyranids saw minor shifts. Lichtors, old one eye, and single pyrovores went up, while von Ryan's leapers, single carnifex, and winged hive tyrants went down.

Largely no big changes. I haven't been following the competitive scene but am guessing we're about a 47% win rate.

GSC saw some points drops across a lot of models and are targeted for updates to cult ambush next update.

Thousand sons got dunked on.

Orks got a huge change in points.

It's all interesting, but this edition feels very bleh, I haven't the gumption to get my probably 7th game together at all right now.

Kill team however...

Mostly happy with the Gsc changes as i certainly wasn't expecting all the battleline stuff to go down, interesting that aberrants are cheaper per 5 than 10 (though I suppose that reflects increased value from strats and characters for bigger unit). I was running 2 5 man squads in rockgrinders, so yay profit! Still not impressed by big brain lascannon guy at 70 though, but at 75 the Patriarch is great value now.

Regarding nids themselves, most changes were to things I don't use often, but I wasn't expecting carnifex to go down even further yay! (Old one eye went up, but thats absolutely fine as 150 is still good for what he brings).

Overall, my general gsc list dropped a few points here and there, My Xenocreed congregation dropped a LOT of points (not sure exactly yet but I think its in the region of about 90-100 pts) and My nids may be able to squeeze in another enhancement with the drop to fexes so I'm fine with that.

Only played solo in the new kill team edition but absolutely loved it. Played star striders. I think they're no longer oppressive so they can come off the shelf
