PJetski Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I guess I'm only seeing part of the update, since I don't see any changes to Kroak, Malign Sorcery, or Sylvaneth... Might be an issue with cached data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michu Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I had the same problem when going through Warhammer Community main site. It works better through your direct link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amysrevenge Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Things I was surprised by: Ghoul Patrol explicitly lets you rise above starting size Evocators can cast a spell out of the Lore of Invigoration Daemon Prince finally gets the Slaves to Darkness keyword, so he's not an ally in his own army lol Everything else I've read has played out more or less how I expected.

Galas Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Guys, you haven't mentioned the most important change: Quote "Page 69 – Chaos Allies, Slaves to Darkness Add ‘Monsters of Chaos’ to the list of Slaves to Darkness allies." YES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lens can only be used on one spell per turn also. I can't find endless spell changes, where you seeing this under? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha this one was so borked last edition. They left them out of the StD ally list, then added them in via a hard-to-search-for Community post which then never made it into any official errata, and then the list of what exactly counted as "Monsters of Chaos" was never right... Glad they got it closer this time, and it's almost there from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mephisto Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 The people arguing Guardian of Souls gets a Lore of the Dead in LON are probably pretty sad right now. "Q: If I include a Guardian of Souls in a Legions of Nagash army, can it receive a spell from any of the Lores of the Dead? A: No." From LON Designer's Commentary.

Do you mean the Changeling or am I not finding something about the Curseling? I still only see the one question about the Curseling casting endless spells it denied, answered 'yes.'

bsharitt Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 So just to make sure I've got this right, they've cleared up that when you take a specific allegiance to get benefits like battleline access you can't take generic allegiance abilities, but allegiances without allegiance abilities basically inherit their GA allegiance abilities. So we've been playing it right to give destruction allegiance to a Moonclan army with squig battle line, but no with Ironjawz using destruction allegiance.

If you "steal" an endless spell in Match Play, you must have paid the point cost to be able to cast it yourself. In Open and Narrative Play, nothing has changed.

NemoVonUtopia Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I wonder about the last line in the allegiance ability section: "Note that if allegiance abilities exist for a faction army, you must use them." To me that sounds like I can only use brayherd units in a brayherd army and I can no longer make a 2000 point generic chaos list that has around 1000 points of brayherd and 1000 points of warherd since I would have to use brayherd allegiance and could only have 400 points of other. I feel like I must be missing something since this seems crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 One sad thing is that they confirm that allied wizards can't use the lore from the faction they are allied too Q: Can allied Heroes be given artefacts of power, and can allied Wizards be given spells from a spell lore? A: No to both questions. Which kind of lowers the strength of adding in allied wizards; meaning that you're taking them for their base stats and abilities and an extra counter-casting roll.

That rule forbids making full Brayherd army (with optional allies) and using GA Chaos abilities, but an army made of mix of them (with a number of Warherd units exceeding ally points threshold) is still good as a GA Chaos army.

Just having some troops with a faction keyword doesn't force you into that allegiance. What the FAQ is saying is that if you choose say, Beastclaw allegiance, you have to use Beastclaw abilities because they exist. On the other hand, if you choose Gutbusters, you can use Destruction abilities because Gutbusters don't have any abilities of their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord_Skrolk Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 I'm baffled why of all factions Clan Skyre got crushed by the nerfbat... Why, GW? Was there a rat infestation at your headquarters and the Skaven got nerfed in retaliation? Did one of you just learn European history and decide to punish rats for the Black Plague? Did someone play the Fall Out Boy song "Rat-A-Tat-Tat" one too many times and you got sick of being reminded of Ratling Gunners so you nerfed their biggest buff?
