daedalus81 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Those new crossbow units are some crazy glass cannons. The short range one are pure gold for sitting behind friendlies and defending an objective. If there is some rule to move them 'without moving' you'll get a lovely 27 shots from 3 models.

Does not stack with the cover bonus. (...yeah, I had to reread that as well.) Oh...oh my. Wait are you sure it isn't when they have not attacked this turn?

daedalus81 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 'The Skyborne Slayers' battalion appears to be missing from that pic? As well as 'Wardens of the Realmgate' and 'Warrior Brotherhood'. Quite a few new ones so likely rebranded and modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayniac Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Knight Azyros lost the "precise deep strike" mechanic, so no more Warrior Brotherhood going more than 9" (unless it's in their special rules). Also I noticed the Wardens of the Realmgate (the one that won LVO) is not in the battalions list anymore; would that mean it's no longer allowed?

'The Skyborne Slayers', 'Wardens of the Realmgate', and 'Warrior Brotherhood' are all gone. Likely due to the trait and other mechanics.

daedalus81 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) So much extra stuff, but no point increases. I am curious if there are any governs on the laterns and such. Latern of the Tempest is quite handy. Prayers are in addition to regular prayers as well. Though maybe people will just take the LCOD anyway! ...if only it didn't have that bum knee...

I am curious if there are any governs on the laterns and such. Most of it are just artefacts. In the end the stormcast have: A prayer for every priest (basically the equivalent of a spell lore) 1 Artefacts +1 for each battalion, that can be chosen from the following lists: weapons armour talismans Banners (for TOTEM) lights (for Castellant, Azyros and Veritant) And the trait for the steeds, which is a true addiction.

wayniac Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 So it sounds like the prayers and steed traits are extras, the banners/lights/armor/weapons/talismans are all "artefacts" so follow the normal rules for Matched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still play grand alliance armies. You can use general order abilities, many of which are better than Stormcast specific ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And sadly the general order abilities are not good for ranged units (my non Stormcast units). oh well. I will hold judgement till I read the full book. But not a good way to attract new ppl.
