Malakithe Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 So..where are all these points drops? So far all im seeing is increases across the board. Some units get dropped only to have battalions increase. Only a few changes in all of Death and the new Nighthaunt look suspiciously cheap. Poor Destruction...I feel sorry for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoah_twitch Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 The stormcast episode said that they were really afraid of beastclaw being good again, and so just gave the lightest touch to the 'zero representation, bottom 10% for the last year' -army. I suppose I'm a tad miffed tbh. Why can't destruction have tier 1 armies too?

ianob Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Tzeentch went up in points partly because they needed the nerf and partly because they now get blues for "free" due to the new splitting mechanics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to bear in mind is that the they started work on the new generals handbook not long after the last one came out (new rules were a 12 month project), a year ago Tzeentch felt much more prominent within the tournament scene.

ianob Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I mean lets be fair, skyfires at +20, with the shooting changes in 2.0, are STILL amazing. Gaunt Summoner's spell is STILL ridiculous and very far out of whack with other similar spells in the game. Pinks now creating "free" summoming points or mortal wounds when they die likely still makes their points very good. Brims are STILL a lot of bodies for a reasonable price. Kairos is still Kairos. When the answer to these points changes is "yes, I will still use all of these units at these new points values" then the changes are correct and you realise just how brokenly cheap they were before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syph0n Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I'm looking forward to seeing the Order Serpentis drops. Currently I run about 9 units, which clocks in around 1900 points, including a Battalion. That's no allies. The ally rule change (1 ally for every 4 isn't it?) also has interesting implications here. Before, I was intending on adding a Medusa or Sorceress (or 2) and some Blood Sisters or Warlocks or Khinerai - anything to make up the numbers. Now, I could potentially fit someone like Morathi in which could be incredibly useful. My list also revolves around 2 dragons and 2 hydras, so allied heroes and associated Command Abilities might be really useful. The points might also go towards the Endless Spells, or I save them for Command Points. Feels a bit like a new army, especially with realm rules and so on. However, I still feel like (even without playing much anyway of AoS1) that I'll get rolled by 'modern' armies! ? Good point. Didn't think about it in that way. Any news on DoK? Found stuff about deepkin but nothing on the daughters. Battalion price increases apparently. /EDIT: can a mod merge this into my last post. Didn't mean to double post! /EDIT: Done - RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfires can now be blocked with single endless wall and Look out sir is a huge nerf to their Hero sniping powers. Split was reworked completely making the best screen chaff units in game mediocre.

RIP Changehost. Yes, there is now a counterplay to shooting and you can't just focus fire what you like, when you like. Great for the game. Yes, you may now have to build armies that include other styles units. Hint: Enlightened are really good. Yes, split no longer automatically makes the best chaff in the game. When it is definitively "best in the game" then it needs to be reworked, right? Should be obvious. Yes, Changehost works very differently now - as well it should, because "I put down more models than is reasonable" is not a style of play that is conducive to good games competitively or otherwise. Just because it is different does not mean it is bad. No, these changes do not mean that Tzeentch is bad. It means they are fixed. They're still a top tier army with top tier units.

If you're looking at doing matched play there's currently a thought/rumour that the Generals Handbook will use a points based allies allocation.
