New Model Monday next week...? One can hope...

There is no way Sentinels are 220 and Teclis is 950 unless every other army is getting extraordinary points increases as well.

I'm not sure how half of these actually make the game better in any way. The first two are definitely improvements, but most of the rest just seem like changing the game for the sake of "mixing it up", which just adds confusion between mission packs. The changes in this pack in particular seem like they should be core rules changes, not changes that only apply for specific missions, but GW isn't willing to go all-in on them just yet and wants you to pay for an extra book each year to test them out.

Someone apparently took a picture of the front of the battletome, at least.

I wouldn't make judgements like this based on one line paraphrasing changes to a single unit in an entire new book. For all you know, they're 2 shots each now.

Teleporting out of combat is nuts, but it's a lot easier to deny the sylvaneth player teleports now since you just have to be within 3" of the overgrown terrain/wyldwood.

Really love the sculpt, and will look awesome as a generic vampire lord if he doesn't get his own rules.

I've dealt with enough hate for playing Lumineth that I can endure some more if it means I get my hippo spirits

Double post, sorry

So after many years of service, my Mannfred (and Arkhan/Neferata) finally snapped at the tail and can no longer support itself, even with my (admittedly mediocre) pinning job. Does anyone have any experience adding a flying stand or extra ruins to the base to support the weight with something that is the appropriate height? All the flying stands I have from are too short. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

And here I thought we didn't like MWs on hit rolls! Also, skaven having 2 wounds feels very wrong.

Nah, they just need a slight adjustment, they've been kicked in the teeth with points nerfs and the priority target system already. Making the no-LoS shot a once-per-game ability or making the 30" range shot only be able to trigger mortals on 6s would be enough (and would warrant a points decrease).

Raw 5 sentinels will do even less, but lets go ahead and jump to conclusions!

Just a heads up, if you are looking to buy a minimum of 10 stoneguard, 10 wardens, and 10 sentinels, the lumineth warcry box is actually a great deal.

Love the art on the Idoneth battletome!

Where are you seeing the price? I've only seen speculation.

How is that remotely the same lmao

Sentinels are terrible against Archaon and Nagash due to their 4+ wards vs Mortal Wounds. Also, I haven't seen a single competitive lists that brings 60 sentinels. I'm going to pick on you for a sec here so I apologize, but comments like this are everywhere on AoS forums, completely exaggerating both the output and misinterpreting/misrepresenting the actual issues with the game right now - to the point that hating on certain armies/units is a complete meme lacking any actual constructive commentary. The increasing popularity of content creators like Vince Venturella (who is way overconfident in his often bad takes) leads to opinions about top level comptetive play trickling down to casual players who don't understand the game well enough to be criticizing balance. /rant Anyways, I think +20 points and the unleash hell nerf will bring Sentinels to a good place competitively.

Yeah, I'm especially shocked Spirits of the Wind still can move 12" in your opponent's shooting phase. Overall, adds 60-80 points to competitive lists, which will bring them down a peg, but in casual games people will still be whining...

Craftworld Eldar are probably my favorite faction in any setting, so I'm loving it so far!

Matched Play is almost certainly just Grand Strategies, Battle Tactics, and Core Battalions, sadly. Not sure what I'd even hope for though to be honest.

Sad the Lumineth box isn't Alarith focused, I have enough Vanari...

Yikes, considering how bad of a place 40k is in right now that's saying something.

Sentinels for sure need a rules adjustment ("no LoS shot" only once per game?) but Teclis is fine where he is. Anyways, as much as I would understand the frustration when (not if) Lumineth get another release, I *do* really want to see Tyrion...
