Sentinels are a bit of a task, sad to say. Cult Ambushing flamers are kinda not great, you basically need a 4-6 roll to do anything. I'd go with outflanking lascannons on Armored Sentinels myself.
>>
>>50329485
Tax, meant to say.
>>

Thanks for the advice. Yeah I'd be banking on rolling 5 or 6 a lot.

Is the 5 points extra for front 12 armor on the Armored more or less a must-take over Scouts?

Or should I just buy units separately?

>>50329494
Well shit, I bought 2 because I thought they looked spiffy.

Story of my life, really.
>>
Played my first game in 2 months today. It was a 1250 game against a newer person with KDK. I was originally going to use my Sisters, but he wanted to do Khorne vs Tzeentch when he saw my tzeentch daemons.

It didn't end well, even without summoning. The funny thing is that my Daemon Prince did most of the work because of Warp speed. I didn't even give him a Robe. He had ML3, Flight, Armor, 2 Greaters and a Lesser. WL trait was +1 ML, greater was the Armor/Fleshbane and 3+ save, which was turned into an etherblade, and the lesser I turned into a Staff of change. He had 11 S8 attacks on the charge, and the poor guy couldn't deal with it.

Thankfully, the guy was a pretty great sport about it because I felt terrible. I told him I'd be using my Sisters next week.
>>
>>50329530
No bloodthirsters on his side?
>>
>>50329513
Yes, absolutely. I'm currently building mine and it's saved me quite a bit. You get 3 HQs, a ton of hybrids, and it's the only way to get aberrants without seriously overpaying.

And if you're lucky you can get some cash for the DW portion.

That said, I immediately added a box of neophytes and acolytes for the other weapon options, and now I'm buying up more stuff to get the formation perks.

Plug the overkill contents into battlescribe to see how far it gets you.
>>
>>50329389
Hitting them from more than one side. AKA:

Front Lines: Lascannon heavy weapons teams, Leman Russ (Executioner/Exterminator, or vanquisher if you're running armored fist), Suicide meltavets in a chimera

Sides: Barrage weapons (Basilisks)

Sides/Back: Outflanking meltavets in chimera (from warlord traits) or sentinels. Deep striking stormtroopers. Deep striking stormtroopers/vets from a valk, especially if they're from that formation where they don't scatter.

It's a crapshoot
>>
>>50329513
I'd buy the units separately cos I do not like monopose kits. Also you'd be paying for models you do not need (the Deathwatch) but if you can split the cost with a friend, that at least mitigates that issue
>>
I bought a Guard Start Collecting today.

What should I do with the heavy weapons team? Lascannon seems the most attractive option.
>>
>>50329543
He didn't get the chance, and didn't have the model. I had enough princes in my collection to stand in if/when he got there, but he dropped 'Letters onto a tac objective, which got him like 4VP. It was a good call (he's a WMH player), and we were pretty much tied at that point. However, then my DP started getting work done. He had one squad left by the time he hit enough BP for the thirster, and they got DP'd by the DP.
>>
>>50329509
>>50329514

They're not really bad, it's more other stuff outshines them in general. Outflanking lascannons are pretty powerful considering how cheap they are, and it draws away fire that could otherwise be mulching your troops.

Because of that, yes, front armor 12 is a decent investment for 5 points. They're a distraction that wilts at oncoming fire, but can't be totally ignored. They're fun, and while most only run one, the second one isn't really hurting you.
>>
>>50329578
Autocannon, and stick it in with the command squad eventually.

Lascannon HWT are good, but you'd want dedicated squads of 3 of them so you can
1) order them to have tank hunters
2) give them prescience when you have psykers

Autocannons are much safer and more versatile.

It's worth noting that even once you build the autocannon/hb/lascannon, you can still construct the mortar and missile launcher, though you'll have to get a little creative in how you implement them onto your models.
>>
Is it possible to play this edition without transport vehicles?
Can I just play foot infantry Sisters of Battle?
20 sisters per squad with max amount of heavy/special weapon
>>
>>50329578
For veterans, a las cannon might be okay (kind of a waste of the other 8 vets though). On normal guardsmen, take an autocannon.
>>
>>50329567
The overkill models are good if you plan on summoning. You take the cheapest models you can off the bat, then summon in the ones with special weapons (from the individual kits) since all the goodies are free with summoning.

You do have a point though, because not only are they monopose, a majority of the hybrids come in identical pairs.
>>
>>50329583
Oooof, that sounds rough. Hopefully he learns a thing or two from this and applies it to the next game.
>>
>>50329612
yes, but you're going to want something to prevent them from getting completely wrecked before they get to where they're going (psykers)

>>
>>50329612
>Is it possible to play this edition without transport vehicles?
Depends on codex and meta. Not counting Daemons and Nids who don't really have transports, you can play Footdar and Necrons and to a lesser extent GK as well without vehicles. A more casual meta will also open up that list some to accommodate other armies.

>Can I just play foot infantry Sisters of Battle?
Again, that depends on your meta. If it is pretty casual/for fun, sure. If it is more hardcore though, I'd say you're in for a tough time. Sure they have 3+ armor but being t3 means you'll be taking more wounds on average against infantry level guns. It's going to be rough, even with 20 models a squad
>>
>>50329612

I love the hoard of sisters because it reminds me of 4th edition, but they're very vulnerable in the current state of the game.

If it's a price thing, a hoard sisters is pushing $130 for 260ish points. A squad of 5 in an immolator is about $100 for 140 points. Both squad have the Max number of special weapons, but the latter also has the immolator turret.

Yes, you get more points per dollar for the squad of 20, but you have 180 points of bloat because those 15 bolters would be better in 5 5man squads with 2 more special weapons, which runs you another $20-25 for the special weapon pair. At that point, you might as well ride in immolators.

That being said, yes, you could MSU 5 man squads of sisters to your hearts content on foot, and it MIGHt give you enough target saturation. Sadly, the blob of 20 just isn't a good use of points anymore.

>>50329637

Yea. It was a slaughter house. I can't even blame it on tzeentch, really, though I suppose the Staff of Change did a lot of work thanks to the +2S. Then again, he was wounding on 2s thanks to the gift anyway.

He's learning, which is good, though we might switch to WMH because 40k is kind of a shitshow atm.
>>
Tzaangors are 5+, 4++, 8ppm, and comes with Laspistol and CCW. Mark of Tzeentch already included. That goes for everything in the TSons range, on the termies the ++ stacks.

They also have access to Assault Cannons, which you've seen in the previews. All weapons have soul blaze.

This will never stop being less fluff accurate than the codex.

The issue with the codex isn't the probability of a lasgun killing a marine in an open field vs a Bolter killing a guardsman in an open field, it's that the kind of line up and have a massed battle stuff the tabletop presents isn't how marines operate, at all.

Excellent rebuttal, friend!

The game ultimately isn't granular enough to represent all the advantages marines have over regular humans, and against many of the Xenos they don't actually -Have- much advantage, or are even at a disadvantage.

T4 3+ is pretty much accurate. The rest comes from tactical superiority and less attrition-minded battle plans than "Let's rush them en-masse without any regular human support in our free Razorbacks!"

Formations are, unsurprisingly, organized into a greater detachment that includes a collection of smaller ones.
Black Crusade Detachment: (1+ Core, 1-10 Auxiliary, 0-3 Exalted Champions)

Lord of the Black Crusade: Your Warlord can roll for a second warlord trait, rerolling any duplicates.

Dark Ascension: Characters in this detachment make a free roll on the Boon table at the start of the game, rerolling any results of Spawndom or Dark Apotheosis. The result of this roll applies for the rest of the game

And they were in Traitor's Hate when it came out like 5-6 months later.

For 3ppm extra Seekers get Cavalry, HoW, Outflank, Acute Senses, an extra attack and because they're cavalry of Slaanesh they get Run +6" rather than Run +3". No brainer, really.

Anon please, we got White Dwarf magazines, not the actual WoM or Traitor Legions books.

Magnus is 80£ by the way or 130$.

Rubrics are 30£, 50$ for 10. You can arm the entire squad with Inferno Boltguns or Warpflamers. The Cannon is called a Soulreaper Cannon.

Termies are 35£, 60$ for 5. Heavy Warpflamer or Soulreaper Cannon, or Hellfyre Missile Racks, otherwise armed with Inferno Combi-Bolters. You can build one as a Sorceror.

Exalted Sorcerors are 35£ or 60$, for 3. Only one can be built with a disc. There are apparently a lot of bits in the box so you can customise a lot.

Tzaangors are 27.50£ or 45$ for 10. They come with an Autopistol and Chainsword or simple CCW. You can build one as a Twistbray.

Ahriman is 25£ or 40$.

I dunno, man. Missile launchers can kill light vehicles, masses of poorly-armored infantry, and flyers with equal ability.

They're certainly better than heavy bolters are, in any case.
>>
>>50331253

Flakk launchers can at least hurt 90% of units.

Heavy Bolters aren't even good at killing massed infantry, which is what they're meant for.
>>

but why are heavy bolters bad? do they just not give enough fire power for the cost? is it something else? I wouldnt know as i use Heavy Flamers cause im Blood angels and my job is to be real close.

>>50331233
Why would it save you money on codexes?
>>
>>50331273

There's just always a better option when you can take heavy bolters. Heavy weapon slots are valuable, and using them for something that's only marginally better than a standard bolter is a waste.
>>
Heavy Bolters should be salvo weapons. Would increase their effectivness. Fight me.
>>
>>50331260
>>50331267
I suppose it depends on how you're assessing the weapon.

MLs with Flakk are 25pts, so that's 49pts for a single str 8 ap 3 shot or a str 4 ap 5 small blast, but if you're using the blast then you're not using the AA capability.

HBs are only 10pts, sure they can't threaten flyers as much, but they can threaten all infantry and some vehicles, and you can take 2.5 of them per single ML with Flakk.

I'm deliberately including the Flakk upgrade because it's terrible - if we were just comparing MLs to HBs then it'd be a much closer contest.
>>
>>50331285

Except you're not taking 2.5 of them per ML with Flakk. You're still only taking one because your tactical squad only has one heavy weapon slot.
>>
>>50331281
Yep, make them salvo 3/5 and they're worth taking sometimes.
>>
>>50331281
Only thing that would do is allow them to shoot on the move, wich is not the job of devastators in the first place, and they'd be hammering out less shots at half range.

Optimally the HB should be the heavy weapon meant for drowning something in wounds. Problem is most things can reasonably shrug them off, and MC's will literally not care.
>>
>>50331285
>I'm deliberately including the Flakk upgrade because it's terrible

It was such a forced argument nobody missed it.
>>
>>50331252
Seen more people take mortars and heavy bolters. 48" range, barrage, and blast to negate shitty BS. Not to forget that being able to drop it behind cover can hurt some low save factions, while HB just has to fire through cover.
>>

He also got the name/quantity of command slots wrong and entirely left out the free VotLW benefit.

Less points, though. and come with Barrage. And people don't take missile launchers that much either.

Still more reasons than to take HBs.

Who? They just asked what's a worse HW. And ML with Flakk is still miles better than a HB on all fronts.

Iirc plagues and thousand sons get termie cult while khorneflakes and partyboys get bikes.

>>
>>50331455
>So Orks, DE, Cultists, etc.
what etc, it's just those and gaunts

Orks are trash, DE are in transports, cultists are either in full cover or are GSC cultists and right beside you. And no one cares about gaunts.

>Still more reasons than to take HBs.
HBs have S5, which is reason enough to take them over a S4 small blast despite their crummy stats.

Of course there's no point to HBs (or even missile launchers) when you can also take autocannons, but if the only other choice is a mortar...
>>

Again: Price doesn't matter for taking it on an average tactical squad because they will only have one HW slot.

>>50331633
Ahriman not following Tzeentch and how Magnus runs the place is one of his major character points. In the trailer for the TSons release, Magnus says that they should combine their forces, ignoring any previous treachery and in-fighting, to defeat their common enemy once and for all.

While Magnus himself probably still doesn't exactly embrace Tzeentch and would most likely get rid of their deal if given the chance, that option is just not available right now so, the clever guy he is, he decided to just roll with it and make the best out of his super psychic powers.

Regular TSons marines and cult members are probably just your generic chaos cultists, so those are most likely knee-deep in daemon shit (other than Ahriman's troops).

Master of Mankind Spoilers

-Magnus fucked over the Webway gate on Terra hard with his warning to the Emperor. Confirmed that the Emperor blames Magnus for the whole thing, but doesn't seem THAT bitter about it, more accepting and fatalistic. The breach has been named "Magnus' folly".

-The Emperor is forced to sit on the Golden Throne to avoid the rift from consuming Terra. Later on the Sisters of Silence plug a thousand psykers into it and it allows the Emperor to leave the throne temporarily.

-Emperor, Custodes, SoS, and loyalist Mechanicus are all fighting Daemons in the Webway. World Eaters and Legio Audax are now fighting the Imperials as well and nobody is sure how they got in there

-The Emperor is on the Throne for much of the story constantly talking to a Custodes Tribune. He confides a lot of his life and thoughts on him and throughout the book the Tribune gets glimpses into the Emperor's memories

-The war isn't going well for the Imperials and the Daemon Drach'yn (yes, the one inside Abaddon's sword) keeps possessing people and jumping from body to body. Drach'yn was formed after the first murder in human history (cain and abel)

-Most of the book is fighting Daemons or the Emperor confiding things to the Tribune. No grand revelations or secrets revealed, which ADB had said would be the case in advance.

-Much of the loyalist Mechanicum is bitter about losing mars and ultimately abandons the Emperor in the Webway believing they can navigate it back to Mars. This dooms the Imperial war effort and the Emperor decides to seal the portal permanently

-Before that he puts Drach'yn into the body of the Custodes Tribune and tells him to run into the Webway as deep as he can go. The Custodes has so much willpower that he is able to resist being taken over by Drach'yn and in effect is a prison for the Daemon now wandering inside the Webway

>>
>>50331918

-Much of the book is a description of the path from Terra down to the Webway Gate. The Emperor built it to be a really grand and massive thing, intended for all humans to travel the Galaxy from it. It was going to be an airport on steroids and the throneroom was more of a lounge area.

-There is a brief glimpse of the Emperors childhood. As an adolescent in a neolithic-era middle eastern village he was charged with prepping bodies for burial rituals. He enjoyed the work and saw it as something of a work of art, it alludes to him creating the Primarchs. When prepping his dads corpse he realizes that his uncle killed him over some petty dispute. The Emperor is calm about it but goes up to his uncle and stops his heart with his psychic powers.

-The Emperor doesnt' seem to consider the Primarchs legitimate sons, he calls them specimens with their number creation. i.e. Fulgrim was "Three"

-There's a flashback to the Emperor and Arkan Land looking over an unconscious Angron right after he was taken. They say that the Butcher's Nails cant be taken out without killing him, but the Emperor coldly says that while Angron is broken he could still be useful and shouldn't be terminated.

-The Emps only did the Ullanor triumph and maintains his current "golden god" form only for pomp and PR reasons. He considers it all petty and has devoted his entire existence to the Webway Project and the manifest destiny of humanity to rule the galaxy. The Webway Project was everything to him.

-The Emperor's powers are hilarious and anime-ish. He teleports instantly, creating afterimages like things. At one point Drach'yn impales him only for his body to fizzle out in an afterimage with the Emperor already behind him. He also summons an army of "ghosts" of dead imperial servants to overrun the daemons. Ferrus is among them.

>>50331927

-Arkhan Land is the leader of Mechanicum forces inside the Webway. He stays loyal to the Emperor throughout and is absolutely baller. He flies around on an anti-grav land raider with volkite weapons.

-There's a wounded Blood Angel character who was part of the Crusader Host and fights with the Custodes. He's the only major space marine character in the book

-The Emperor considers the Custodes his finest work and each is a separate work of art in and of itself to him.

-It's semi-confirmed that the Custodes were the ones who purged the Thunder Warriors

-In a weirder bit it's alluded that the Emperor was the one who wrote Pinocchio. Again alluding to the creation of the Primarchs.

The webway project was retarded though? Hardly better then a dolmen gate and opening a new war right on the door step of Terra. What a fucking idiot.

They're space marines that might not get dicked by plasma as hard as regular space marines. At the end of the day, you're paying a lot for what you get. Since they went and made a tzeentch-brand cultist clone, I'm pretty sure that'll still be the case with the new rules.

Cool models, rules probably won't be total garbage, but don't get too excited until we actually see the books.

Hey picanon, anything about HH book 7? They said their would be a preview in this WD.

Thanks.

In practice they'll gonna function like some traitor grey knights: Few powerful units carrying a load of overcosted slightly different power armor/terminator armor dudes.

>>50332282
I just love dicking with my opponent.

The update based on the legion that worships the god of dickery seems like a good chacne that we'll see some more of that.

40k doesn't have enough shenanigans.

This game needs more trap cards, dammit.

no race has ruled the galaxy without a webway, it allows safety for necessary matters in an universe where not being safe means doom.

Just to confirm, there weren't any 30k rules for sisters of silence in the WD then? It always seemed more of an assumption than a verified rumour, but might as well check.

>no race has ruled the galaxy without a webway
The webway dont you mean? Emps was just jacking into what was already there. Do you think the Eldar and DE were just going to let that slide?
>>
>>50332375
I mean were talking about the imperium at full strength with all the space marine chapters i think they can take the eldar.
>>
>>50332373
Nah only some new rules for the various board games

against ap3 or better

against everything else, they're basic marines
>>
>>50332404

>letting you 4x D slap a knight before it gets in close range

>initiative 5 D melee

fucking why, renegade was kinda fun with only knights allowed
>>
>>50332385

Webway automatically detects and expels non Eldar intruders. Anyone that fails to make it out of a spar that locks down is tossed into the warp. Necrons can't even figure out how to use the webway safely and their tech makes DAoT look like babby's first science project. Only Harlequins understand that shit.
>>
>>50332385
Not that anon, but the eldar can barely handle the eldar in what little ive read about the webway. Its all twists and turns, some sections go nowhere, others can be tapped into so troops can ambush, etc. Eldar get mobbed in there too, and SM chapters would all decide THAT tube was a better lead
>>
>>50332420
>against everything else, they're basic marines

lets be fair, there isnt going to be much shooting at you that isnt already ap3

also isnt it 58% better survival rate? because you can reroll invuln saves of 1
>>
>>50332422
Funny how Ahriman walked in with a small army then.

And that Inquisitor too.
>>
>>50332385
>I think they can take the eldar.
Till someone rips a hole in the webway or the webway itself kicks them out. Seriously this was his master plan? Take over the scraps of the webway and hope everything else worked out fine. And besides the best place for this new giant warfront was the centre of the Imperium?
>>
>>50332441
>lets be fair, there isnt going to be much shooting at you that isnt already ap3
I mean, aside from all the basic weapons in the game, yeah.
>>
>>50332422
I doubt the "detect non-eldar" was part of the original webway, if it has been added, it likely can be removed without damaging the old ones' infrastructures.

tech trees are not always linear, necrons have little experience in psychic based manipulation, unlike the eldar and humans.
>>
>>50332461
>I mean, aside from all the basic weapons in the game, yeah.

so you are intentionally gimping yourself to prove a point, its pretty fucking easy to get ap3 on troops in most codexes

name 5 codices that have troop choices capable of equipping their whole squads with ap3 weaponry

>inb4 but muh special weapons individuals
>>
>>50331353
>There's pretty much zero reason to take a mortar.
Having barrage (which is pretty rare) makes comparing mortars to other weapons difficult.

If mortars were direct fire then they'd be the obvious worst choice for HWS. However, mortars tend to survive the game or consume a disproportionate amount of effort to destroy.

Autocannon HWS will generally die in the first couple of turns since they are an obvious threat and they are trivial to kill with any type of weapon.
>>
My new fucking-around casual Kill Team is so much fun.

Platoon Command Squad (Vox, Medic, Standard, Plasma Gun)
Infantry Squad (Vox, Flamer)
Infantry Squad (Vox, Flamer)

200 pts exactly. It's so dumb, but it can be made entirely WYSIWYG from 2 squads and a command squad, and is surprisingly fun because a hilarious amount of KTs just can't handle 25 guardsmen at the same time.

Bring it, you golden dildoes. Let's see you fight with that grav-tank and your silly gunblades.

>>
>>50332474
>its pretty fucking easy to get ap3 on troops in most codexes
As a single weapon trooper, I guess? But those seven-eight other guys are shooting you with lasguns or bolters.

unless your standard metric for "basic troop" is stormtroopers or rubric marines
>>
>>50332465
>I doubt the "detect non-eldar" was part of the original webway

Why? It's never been suggested to have been added later. It's first mentioned in War of Heaven fluff.

Don't think so Tim. Banshees/Reapers/Spears are elites/fast attack and basic harlies only get a handful of powerswords per squad.

Can't

Lol melee, but technicly true

This is true, only 32 PPM for melta and 27 for plasma
>>
>>50332636
my point was that people wont waste shots on you unless that squad has access to AP3 or better in some form, the only time units that cant ignore your saves will shoot at you is when they literally have nothing better to do
>>
>>50332564
>Why?
because it's old ones tech, not eldar, why would you device a key technology for the expansion of your race with a component that selectively attacks all the inhabitants with the exception of a race that will claim dominion of it only later?
>>
>>50332582
Yes, yes it is. I'd be fine with the Ataeos'ra'keres rules in the IA (from a proxy standpoint, fuck fighting that thing unless I have a damned Titan)
but anything smaller is insane.

>>50332599
Well, I suppose they are like Space Marines on crack in more than one way. They suffer from the same problem as Astartes in lore, there's too few of them to do anything, really, on a galactic scale. Probably why they never leave the Palace, and why any half-decent commander just melts them.

Also, the fuck did they get the idea that a floating Rhino topped the Triaros? Dune Train beats literal Stormraven any day.

im new to 40k but what is the difference between the wrath of magnus book and the traitor legion supplement? got no experience with these addition codex addons
>>
>>50332713
Not Ap3

Ap5 with rending.
>>
>>50332719
Right, because people don't shoot marines with their bolters and flamers. They just ignore them.

That is definitely what non-retarded people do.
>>
>>50332725
one is a codex supplement with rules and formations for all traitor legions

the magus book is warzone fenrir, will contain scenarios, fluff and formations for thousand sons and space wolves
>>
>>50332740
>doesnt read that part where i said "unless they have nothing better to do"

jesus christ i must be blessed, none of my matches have been against people this utterly moronic
>>
>>50332747
so if i was to become a 1k sons player i would need both you think?
>>
>>50332771
you only really need the suplement codex, then just wait for a pdf scan of the formations from the fenris book
>>
>>50332673

It's mentioned in the context of the Old Ones War In Heaven. Also, 7th ed codex states the Eldar were specifically taught the technology, not given it.
>>
>>50332713

Not AP3.
>>
>>50332787
ah right thanks, so supplement is a must need for rules and wrath of fenris is for advanced player aka using formations etc?
>>
>>50332729
rending makes them to be ap2 on a roll of a 6, allowing them to ignore ap3 saves.

Unless you want something that is EXACTLY ap3 in which case harlequins and death watch don't count?
>>
>>50332764
Because there are clearly better things for those weapons to be doing, instead of shooting other basic troops.

I'm sure those lasguns will get right on with shooting at all of your vehicles. That's clearly a better use of their time.
>>
>>50332812
Yes on a 6.

That like saying Poison wounds automatically because it does on a 6.
>>
>>50332686

>2 harlequins killed dozens
>elite

Memes aside, mechanicum tech is demonstrably more advanced. I wonder what other goodies the custodes might be hiding though.
>>
>>50332814
if you start shooting lasguns at a vehicle just to spite me anon you truly are a relic of the dark ages
>>
>>50332832
My point is there is literally nothing better for those guns to shoot at.

Rubrics are, against basic weapons, really pricey space marines. The 4+ invulnerable save does nothing to improve their durability against the bulk of what's going to be shooting them.

And no, breachers within 6" and stormtroopers are not the bulk of what will be shooting you. This is WHY thousand sons were considered such a weak cult unit compared to, say, plague marines.
>>
>>50332822
And ap3 isn't ap3 because it can't wound on a roll of a 1?
Mate, just admit you're wrong, ap3 isn't that special anymore.
>>
>>50329612
My grey knight list is all on foot. It's quite strong as well.
>>
>>50332666
If you are playing against Marines, and you have lots of lasguns, what else are they supposed to do instead of point their flashlights at your marines? Not like they can do anything else other than try to kill you with volume of fire. The same can be said of any blobby low-ap unit.
>>

have you considered the fact that guns dont have a rule where they must be shot every turn? the amount of people that dont run thier units to move for objectives, cover, etc and instead just sit in the open gormlessly firing at something they are unlikely to wound is just staggering

now, if you are backing your lasguns with orders, then yes those lasguns are churning out 3 shots each and firing is easily the best option

either way, a 50 man unit averages 2.7 wounds at BS3, instead of 2.1 at BS2, adding a single special weapon is a huge increase
