Air lifted units

[CSM Emperor]

When units are lifted on the air melee squads shouldnt be able to hit them, only ranged units should be able to attack units that are lifted on the air. Also the Farseer can lift Chaos Lord in the air while the Chaos Lord can not lift another Chaos Lord or Brother Captain or a unit with energy shield activated, so wrong.

Why? Mighty Warriors of Khorne are not able to hit a flying Falcon with their mighty axes? Well, not so might now...

Units are lifted not in space but just a few feet's in the air, so melee units can easily get them

they are lifted high enought not to be hit by melee squads.

it isnt a flying falcon, it hovers.

Let me be the first to do this although it is Codexs job: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2099

At least give us some background information or why you think this is unbalanced as this is the balance section of the forum.

I think the op is explicitly talking about the lift effect from gravity blade , gravity grenade and the chaos lords consume thing and orbital.

all of which propel infantry units 10 - 30 feet in the air (way over what any melee unit would realistically be able to hit. at the highest point these units are more than 4 time further off the ground then any grave tank.

Not that it really matters much , but it does look really stupid as melee units are savagely hitting air and these lifted units are taking damage. it is even dumber when grenades gib them since they are no where near the nades.

It looks a bit silly but I don't see an issue with imbalance there.

But if you do think there is a balance issue, please elaborate. Because so far there has been 0 arguments why it is imbalanced and this is the balance section after all...

Also read the topic linked by Noobus since it is intended that people give it a quick read before posting in this section.

Well I'll say that CL drain life had to be nerfed hard in elite so it wouldn't be used to snipe heroes & sub commanders all day everyday. Same goes for gravity blade even tho it's not as easy point and click abiltiy. This change would allow for these abilities (drain life in particular) to be buffed so they can be used for something besides opportunistic wipe attempts.

Nor will there be. There isn't a balance issue here. It just looks stupid. So yeah

TBA this wouldn't be the first csm thread that lacked a clear balance issue.........

Chaos Lord's life drain cant lift other Chaos Lord or Bro Captain while gravity blade can lift them up, that is OP.

Levitation field doesn't heal the Farseer.

the heal is very little.
