Anybody know if the aetherwar box came with an battalion? And if so is the gunhauler mandatory and what are the points costs?

Looking at Warscroll builder it's Intrepid Prospectors  I think? for 110 pts?

Yes. 3 Skywardens, 3 Endrinriggers, Endrinrigger with balloon, Gunhauler.

110 points, and you can move 6" before the first round.

Thanks!

That's a shame. Can't combine it with a escort wing for a two drop 1,5k army then, Back to the drawing board.

  • I'm not sure if you need some balloon boyz or not (they are fun to play and 6man unit can do some work on the table), but they are expensive and drop like flies.

Endrinriggers were made to repair the ships, but they are also the more efficient unit offensivly:

They are more efficient per point (second table) that any other ship and they can attached to other ships. Not so bad for 100 points units.

I think that you misunderstood what I was saying. I already know they are awesome, but not sure if they are a must in a 1000 points game because I don't have enough experience
Btw, I'm not sure if we can compare the ships with the balloon boyz, they are apple to orange to me.

Well, technically you can do it, but I guess this is not what you’re aiming for. It doesn’t look very strong.

yeah you're right. Technically I can. But not within what I was trying to achieve. Low drop with 10 thunderers in a frigate. :D

Yeah, this one looks pretty pathetic, but nothing is impossible for opportunistic privateers. Am I right? :D

Haha I would try it vs Stormcast.... so yeah everything is possible then 😅

You just reminded me of my poor SCE. Let us know how double escort wing works. I’m exited about 20 thuderers, I guess they’re my favourite KO unit. What load out you take for them? I prefer full rifle, because it seem most reliable for me.

Yeah always full rifle for me. One that’s how I modelled most of them 😂

second. I want the option of shooting over screens, keeping my distance and setting up (in this case) gunhaulers as my own screen in between.

Hm, screening thunderers with gunhaulers sounds interesting. I usually put them inside the ship and create shooting platform. I will check it out.

Oh sorry, should have been more clear. 
This was meant specifically with this list. It would have two fun* platforms in the form of 10 thunderers in a frigate, twice. 
but no endrinriggers to fly high alongside of it. So I would probably end up setting the frigate 17,6 inches away and the gunhaulers in between to screen if need be.

i definitely feel other units would be better for it, but they didn’t fit with two escort wings 😅

* autocorrect changed it twice from gun, so I’m just owning it. It works 😂

Man, I fell like “fun platform” should be official term for flying thunderers. :D

Haha it is a bit of kick in the balls for your opponent. 'well now i'm going to set this fun platform 17,6" from your lovely painted models. And i'll fun them to death. Now you can remove them. Fun eh!?'

I’d take those point drops with a pinch of salt personally. These would be in the faq post release. I wouldn’t start planning around them until the faq drops

You might be right, it could be faqed. Nevertheless we still can play some friendly games with all those discounts. Maybe it get even cheaper? Or utterly useless after faq. Who knows? :D

That leak is not confirmed and it's probably wrong. That leak has more unit points costs than those on this photo and they are not correct. It states that some Ossiarch Bonereaper Units got a discount and there are a few photos about the GH2020 (french leak) with the same point costs for Ossiarchs, so don't believe in that pic where KO get so many points drops and wait for a few more days.

Sorry I think you misunderstood me slightly. These points won’t be in the ghb, they’ll be released in a separate faq. That’s why should take them with a hefty pinch of salt. We never really get leaks from errata's or faqs, this just looks like someone’s wish list to me.
