EDIT: ninja'd Or strategic, sounds for me that the strategy points cane be used for it and perhaps the draws go to the player who won the previous initiative. The tidbits they have released for now sounds reasonable, but the combat will be the main point for me. Hopefully they don't change it.

She definitely needs to get some of her sand blasted armies back. I didn't realise that it wasn't a legion of Nagash... note to self ... must open the legions of Nagash battle tome and read it!

Who knows? I'd wait until all the new stuff comes honestly. We still don't know if the Mortis will get the Nighthaunt keyword or not, so it's not a safe bet, and we also don't know how good Hexwraiths and Spirit Hosts will be with the new book and new edition.

I'm really torn on this. I was about to drop money on a couple tormented spirits boxes so I could get started with nighthaunt.. But I don't know if I can wait until June just to find out. I imagine those boxes will sell out quickly. Maybe it's safe for people to get 1k worth and see what the starter set brings?

After all even if you play now a weaker army and you lost a thousand times the only thing which will happen is the way you will think use your army and build list.

I even got to last place with them on every tournament I went, until I started to play on 2000p 380Meatshields (Clanrats and giant rats) and even now I’m getting ideas for new armylist which I love to try out and maybe it will be great or just bad, but the only way to know if it works is to trie it out and find new ways.

We are two very different kind of players, we most likely enjoy different things about the hobby and the setting of our games most likely will be different as well. Therefore further discussion is pointless. Edited May 12, 2018 by Xasz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsharitt Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 RIP my Legion of Night army, Feb 2018- June 2018. Back to Nighthaunts for me. All the new models look amazing. It looks like they might be updating some of the older models(as none of the old ones were even shown, and many look similar). I think I can safely say where my June gaming budget will go. Should be a quick army to get on the table, plenty of black spray paints and light grey drybrushing. A starter set with those Stormcasts would also fit right into my master plan of army building. I'm at around 1100 points in Stormcast right now, so they Stormcast half of such a box would go a long way towards wrapping up that army. While I'll try to keep a positive attitude, I'm really hoping there's some big allegiance other counter balancing changes to make up for shooting nerfs as my KO army can barely hold their own as it is. Grundstock Thunderers might become the new KO MVP unit with their ability to fall out of combat in the combat phase(setting you up to shoot if your turn is next). They did say warscroll updates, so I'm going to wish list much longer range on the boats that makes them feel more like warmachine. Now that we have confirmation that the Lord Ordinantor and Knight of Shrouds were harbingers of stuff to come, I'm not going to let myself get hyped about my Moonclan. A couple of weeks ago I began to doubt, so I picked up some some spider riders and bonesplitters for a 2000 point mixed destruction army. Oh well, now I have the seeds to three destruction armies of Moonclan happens this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
