HOOO BOY The guild of Summoners is gonna be broken quickly. 9 fate points for a free chicken? Then still a heft discount at 18 for the second?!?!? I know units are always within range of themselves, but does Locus of Change give -1 to hit on the daemon heroes as well?

Yeah it grants LOS. So if something hides behind a terrain feature you summon the bird behind and you have LOS.

The only time I could see it being useful is if something is hiding from Arkhan and you cast it behind then Arcane Bolt them twice. EDIT: Or hiding from Nagash and you bolt them 7 times

If FEC 1.0 to 2.0 is any indication, KO players got nothing to worry about. EDIT: Re-reading the warhammer article, Barak-Zifin can take Arkanaut Frigates as battleline. I feel like throughout the book there will be at least 4 battleline choices.

Yeah but Deathriders cost more....

I didn't believe this at first until I had 20 Mortek hold off 6 Kurnoth Scythes for 3+ combats.

Well Bonereapers have to pay minimum 390 before anything else.

After seeing Feeding Frenzy, Excess of Violence, Mighty Destroyers, Fyreslayer extra combat I forget, yeah I just want Wave of Terror to actually happen. And I'll be real, some games I get 5+ Waves, but more often I get none. Couple that with the fact that Nighthaunt didn't get an Endless Legions ability makes them not very killy, and not very durable. I think if they just jam Legion of Grief into the Nighthaunt then it would be a lot better. Because combined they would work great. We would still not have a reliable extra combat but we would be able to endure pretty much anything. Which is what ghosts should do.

It does suck, and we are hoping when the Nighthaunt get a real 2.0 release a lot of the things are better. Makes no sense that the other Death Legions can return whole units for a command point and at best we can return 5-15 models over the course of a game. Im hoping Nighthaunt and Legion of Grief are rolled into one cohesive army down the line with the best of both included. Then we'd have a real chance.

"A" is singular. You can pick any of them, but only one. If it were multiple it would be worded like Olynder "each friendly".

I'm hoping to see KO not get spells or terrain and go in a different direction. Give Skyboats or battlelines their own artefacts. It gives them the boost terrain or spells would but is more thematic for the engineering dwarves.

No, because once it is slain there is no unit to return it too.

I cant in good conscience collect Skaven Skryre until they get updates, and I really want to. $15 per model for a battle line that is 60 points is the biggest ripoff imaginable. Not to mention if you want some Jezzails. Everything with a 2.0 book should get their model range updated to today's plastic standard.

If you're doing NH, take Dreadblade Harrows and a big unit. Discorporate him and teleport the unit along side. Then hope for that 9 for combat, or 10 for wave of terror. Numerous times this does the trick. Any general is worth the 2-3 command points used.

I used to run 1x6 Spirit Hosts and have them around my general with Ruler of the Spirit Hosts. They were never wiped off the table once. Returning 3-9 wounds with a 4+ save is super hard to chew through.

The Petrifex Elite CA is Bludgeon. Unless he was talking about the Dread Falchions Im fairly certain spirit blades max out at rend 3.

Can I ask how you got them to -4 rend? I know Precision Aspect and Bludgeon is -3. I too have to deal with a Maw Krusha and his 3 up save.

Gothizzar Harvester for me. I love that slaughterhouse on legs.

Does Godbone Armor block mortals or just regular wounds?

What about if each person did their phases alternating but there was one shared combat phase? Would that be a better solution? Because I absolutely cannot see the game being balanced like in 40k where the first person always goes first.

I feel like Crawlers are gonna be the big thing until the FAQ drops. Maximum damage output is higher, has easier hit rolls, and the range. Just dump your shieldwalls on objectives and force opps to go near em. Then rain skulls. I love stalkers, but if we're talking tournament competition the crawler looks way better.

2019 was updating books for most armies. 2020 NEEDS to be adding models to the armies that desperately need them. AND selling all the box set heroes.

I SO want Stalkers to be battleline. I'd even take the terrible Vokmortian if I could get stalker battleline.

Ruler of the Spirit hosts becoming allegiance ability for all heroes would right the ship in a very meaningful way. WoT as it's worded there is pretty broken. It's way more powerful than Feeding Frenzy/Excess of Violence because you get to do it charge phase. I would prefer to not be the new broken jank in the activation wars. I'd like it more if they just made a couple of the battalions work like death riders. WoT's on 9's in addition to the regular abilities. Then give death riders something to compensate. Or at least tack on "units in this battalion can retreat and charge in the same turn" to all the battalions (or even allegiance abilities). That way WoT's are still hard to pull of, but we get a LOT more chances.

This goes for Legions of Nagash as well. Maybe there will be a new death soup book. Or they'll just clean it up and add Soul Blight as its own chapter. (If Im being real honest Nighthaunt and Stormcast as well. Im aware shootcast is very good, its the rest of the book that isnt.)
