heywoah_twitch Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 BCR changes containment area: stonehorns of all types down 40pts thundertusks of all types down 40pts thundertusks can now run and shoot -source: stormcast podcast ep9 Edit: sorry guys the stormcast episode literally lied about the points it's actually -20 on thundertusk huskard and beastriders. Also by battalions going down they actually meant battalions going up for the most part. Also chances are real good thundertusks don't have their warscroll changed to be able to run and shoot, he probably just had no idea what he was talking about with respect to how our army works.

angrycontra Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I don't think the thundertusk run+shoot is correct, to me it sounded like Ben said it by accident or he forgot how thundertusk rule works. I just don't believe they'd be making rule change like that for thundertusks, especially not when they also drop their points. If thundertusks were to receive warscroll change, they'd probably lose the whole "super easy 6 mw on mobile platform" rules anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Yeah Eurlbad and Skal are the potentially playable two, as the others don't really do anything worthwhile / have ludicrous requirements / can't be played in 2k matched. Could possibly fit an Olwyr in, though, which is worth looking into (even if the reqs+costs add up to an entire huskard on thundertusk worth of points). 9 minutes ago, angrycontra said: I don't think the thundertusk run+shoot is correct, to me it sounded like Ben said it by accident or he forgot how thundertusk rule works.

I definitely agree with you in suspecting Ben just wasn't familiar enough with our army to talk about it for 30 seconds, though I hope we're both wrong. Run and Shoot on thundertusks would be the first buff of significance I've heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed it for you. lol Hmm ill be flipping through that app later to see what those battalions require.

PlasticCraic Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 From memory one of them is hilarious (Jorlbad)? It takes units that can mostly run and charge and do not have trouble with Battleshock, and lets them run and charge and reroll Battleshock.

And torbad requires 4 thundertusks, with 3 that can't be huskards and the ability stops enemies from retreating from them - w-why would you want to? that book was not written well, which is why I was really hoping for re-done allegiance abilities/traits in GHB18.

Do they redo allegiance traits in GHB to begin with? it doesn't look like it something GW does until a new Battle tome for BCR is release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Two of the battalions we just mocked above for being garbage have gone up in points. One of them by a lot. This was the opportunity to really help out one of the most downtrodden and unrepresented factions. Genuinely confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueshirtman Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 You are not the only one. Well maybe yetis will get new models now that they are quasi battleline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svnvaldez Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 First time ever you can run 4x FL! 4xFL + 3x2 cats and hunter here I come. I saw a picture of battle for the pass and the 20+ auto cap seemed gone. If that is true and there are no 20+ missions that would be a big BCR bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like someone has thought "it's time to sort the massive skal problem out, no more shall the skal rule BCR lists or tournaments!" In reality it's because it's a cheap way to get a command point but STILL. It's funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoah_twitch Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 So if my "Just Play Better" thread is any indication, I'm not the type to skim over something that looks real bad without at least giving it some solid testing (even if it tragically proved to be correct). **snip** The rules turned out to be different than I knew about at this point, so edited out.

Sieggi858 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 So as someone that wants to start BCR, where should I start for 2e? The start collecting looks good but am unsure of what the big model should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoah_twitch Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Everything is changing at this exact moment, and we won't have full disclosure until closer to the 30th of this month. My advice is to wait the 2 weeks and find a youtube tutorial about magnetizing our behemoths - it's not actually that difficult and you'll be thankful you did (unlike me).
