  1. 😳 vhat? Kind of eh?!? +1 attack and +1 damage against an hero with artifact, tell that some poor bloodthirster who gets his face kicked in. Or some idoleth deep thingy, 12hp with a 3+ needs to get torn to shreds somehow.
  2. All depends, blisterskin has legs… feast day with frenzy from unit champion is something to think about gristlegore with distraction terrorgheists but hollowmourne with the trait, ca and artifact turn the dial on the varghulf to 11
  3. Fully buffed mordant varghulf flying over the board. In hollowmourne as general it gets extra damage against artifact heros and all that… but because the mordants use that very varghulf as pin-point to move, I usually send in the flayers first. If they survive, they might like a varghulf near them next round. What happens with everything during 3.0 stays mysterious, but I think battalions are pretty safe. Points are also a thing, but well, new game, new rules… adapt adjust annihilate
  4. You can use your understrength units from some boxes. Soulwars had some off numbered units, don’t know how often that happens…
  5. You can always field an „understrength“ a unit, but in matched play you have to pay the full price for it… 🤓
  6. And I was whining about the new stomystormbois with their 2+ 😅 and now we trample everything all the time…
  7. That’s what I wondered too. Since it is specifically mentioned in one core battalion, it probably doesn’t count for all the others. If the core battalion are for free, I guess they also don’t get an artifact or an extra cp (except when they do) interesting to see how the new rules work for the warscroll battalions 🤔 hope they stay one drop + artifact + cp. well, can’t wait to gin-t the new rules in the sun (with extra heavy sunscreen). right now I’m a bit hesitant to get started, since the whole foundation changes massively very soon 😅
  8. I suppose there are fluff writers, that think about what a unit wants to be and how great it is and how many points it should cost. then there is the rule smith, who writes the Warscrolls. Sadly he only has a thumbnail of the model to work with. But maybe 🤔 they find a spot within the core battalions 🧐
  9. Core Battalions There are now two types of battalions in Warhammer Age of Sigmar. The warscroll battalions you know and love are for units of renown and represent a specific focus, a special leader, or additional training. On the other hand, core battalions are intended to balance out the various units in exchange for distinct abilities.
  10. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/06/11/core-battalion-rules-shake-up-matched-play-army-building-in-the-new-edition/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=FB&utm_campaign=TV, AOS&fbclid=IwAR0Pn6GT2oocPGnjEIJYaRhEd2JN3-uxGVN7kbwcKMFstazkRfHbLuJCorc why choose, if you can have both? still not the whole picture (points), but the old battalions stay and generic ones are a thing now…
  11. If they stay reasonable… new unit sizes, CAs like overwatch and table size with mandatory terrain and monster and hero abilities every hero/charge phase, commands from the unit champions that‘s all a big shake up. but with feast day, blisterskin and gristlegore we‘re pretty solid. If our 6 flayers have to run in a 4+2 formation, so be it, since the champion can order a feast… and mordants are still a thing, so smashbat 4theWin
  12. QfT… i hope the faq fixed this, because otherwise it will be another „would be great, but GDubs can’t rule…“ still hyped to field granny and her boi, all the new units need to be tested 🐺🦇🦅🦄🐉
  13. I will drop my cheesy last model doubled then string out during pile-in plan… hits our flayers pretty hard, same goes for bloodknights (gore gruntas) and all elite melee that tries to get all attacks in with OVER 32mm bases and only 1“ reach. but it’s no use at all, have to see ALL the new rules and then start crying/moaning OPAF 🤣 same goes for „overwatch“ if all things fail, we‘re back to the fluff army we once were, when we had „reserve points“ and summoning was our strong tactical advantage 🤔 smells like 💩
  14. Always like him as general and additional spellcaster… trait and battleline
  15. A bunch of „line dance“ formations are discussed right now, I think not that bid a deal for 6 flayers... charge in as a line, kill stuff and the first casualty will bring you down to 5. 🤷🏿‍♀️ big block of 9...wasn’t getting all into combat anyway. I’m very curious how much 40k will be in AoS 🧐
  16. It’s going to be Charnel Throne and Royal Family all over again ... 🙈
  17. All the new rules are really a shake up... and complicate the rule set and interactions a lot. with the current references of GDubs rules writing team, I‘m expecting a whole new book of designers commentaries 🤣🙈 just had a heated „riders of ruin“ discussion, which ended in “your fluff text has nothing to do with the rules“. not a good move to bring new people into the game, but I‘ll guess we’ll have to see what really comes our way, some of the things look brutal against us (overwatch) and some (extra regen) pretty op fun times ahead, new lists , new rules , new everything 👻
  18. Haven’t played them yet... I especially like the beast, summoning wolves should be good...
  19. Damnation never really though about that 😬 not really sure what two models within 1“ and 6“ means, if you string out six models, the corner piece has two other models within 6“ 🤔
  20. All of the above, but they do count as generals... and an early killed Kritza could crawl out of the sewers turn 3 and be a pain somewhere undefended especially with a 18“ general bubble
  21. It is a good unit... even at the price. Since nothing is certain for 3.0 all is speculation. Double Regent could be funky, it is 80 points more, but all the options... 🙀 I‘m still not sold on the removal of battalions, since they are a part of Kragnos, but who knows. For now, can’t go wrong with Flayer heavy feast day
  22. 4sure... I guess it boils down to the job description. If they are to be a big threat, to wipe stuff from the table, surely 6... even if they are to engage, wait for back up and the the left over disengages. If you are planning a 3-4.round objective steal or backfield harassment, six would be to much points hanging in the sky, not working for their points, while your opponent get things done
  23. Yes, that will be a tough but to crack. But AoS 3.0 as the best rules ever written within the best rules ever possible will shake up things dramatically, for every faction and will need time to get settled. Once per game abilities, battalions yes/no/some... and so on. with Soulblight supposed to be written with 3.0 in mind (hopefully), I don’t really see too many obvious „weirdness“. there are a lot of „counts as additional general“ named characters, but otherwise...looks normal. mawshard will be valuable for champion sniping... interesting times
  24. With the limiter to +\-1 Neffi and Manni are a bit stuck, but the throne should be able to command two units, same way the vamp lord could only CA a unit once, but multiple units were possible. tricky how the interactions will work out with monstrous rampage „roar“... no inspiration, but what about buffs from the hero phase? on the other hand the heroic actions make a big skelli block unsupported interesting again, the battleshock could be denied by the champ 🤔 better for my 40 ghouls in FEC they could feeding frenzy
