  1. 25x70? Interesting, I had assumed they were by 50 since the website doesn't specify. In that case it is even more mysterious, and I will wait for an FAQ so I know if I have to order a whole other bag of bases every time I get a new seeker box.
  2. I think the difference is that in this case the 25x50s are the only bases they come on, if you bought fresh seekers from GW. I assume they would be the rounded "bike" bases though that come in that kit. Not the square ones. That I agree with - I am using the round ones.
  3. I think it's consistent with the "put the models on the bases they are sold with" policy, considering it coincides with the removal of the Start Collecting that came with the earlier size and its replacement with the Vanguard. The only Seekers still sold come on 50x25s, and rather than reboxing them, GW decided to keep them that way, thinking it isn't a big deal. I consider that far more likely than an unintentional change. It's uniqueness is just MORE evidence for this, not less. It shows that GW didn't just make a copy-paste error from another unit. This unit specifically is alone on that base size, and only recently was updated to be such. That seems extremely deliberate precisely because it is so weird.
  4. How do you think that the change could be accidental? Copy and paste from pior editions, copy and paste from other Cavalry units, copy and paste from the basing sheet, or literally just not changing anything at all would have resulted in the 60mm base as mentioned. Someone would have had to have gone in and deliberately change it, which strikes me as something that is unlikely to happen by accident. "Hey guys, I accidentally had the app open in edit mode, accidentally clicked on the 60x35 that was already there, and accidentally typed in the bases that just so happen to be the ones the unit is actually sold with in it's only current iteration."
  5. I still think the 10 daemon seekers on the little bases are great for depravity gen - 40 attacks that go up by 10 every combat phase is a lot, especially with +1 to run and charge (with 2d6 rolls for both). My mates in the local club lost money on the battle scroll release that left seekers on 50x25s
  6. I think the issue is you could just select the Daemonettes to go first anyways, and the Viceleader doesn't add much for her price to their damage (which I generally agree with. 3+/4+/-1/2 is literally twice as good as her last book, but still only averages less than 3 damage into the target. Adding 10 daemonettes to the blob will add more than 4 wounds to the target for a cheaper price at the same time). Of course, the Daemonettes have to reach with their weapons, but so does the Viceleader, who has the added disadvantage of needing to make a separate charge roll, not fighting twice of a Keeper of Secrets selects the Daemonettes, etc.
  7. Yep, definitely, though I am more convinced it is deliberate than the Dexcessa thing. After all, it's not like "60x45, whoops fingered the 6 to a 5 and the 4 to a 2 instead of the Ctrl+v I meant to after the hellstriders"
  8. I took the change in the app to _be_ an FAQ, but alright. For now, I will use my rebased seekers to get 10 in line abreast until GW fixes their ****** (fair trade for the Soulfeaster being unusable :p)
  9. In the app if you check under the tome there is a Base Sizes button that says 50x25mm. It coincides with the old Start Collecting going away, that has the 60x35 (leaving only the boxed Seekers with 50x25s), and was updated in the app (rather than forgotten and not changed) when the book was released.
  10. Don't forget seekers are on a 25x50 now so can be in a single line abreast if their bases are touching, so getting them all into combat isn't super hard.
  11. Lots of spare bits, a second buy of the Endless Spells and the Fane, and one of those battery-powered LED lamps from Amazon that are galaxy themed. They come with remotes to change the color and stuff.
  12. Thanks; just a random terrain piece. We blended our terrain kits as my daemon realm corrupted Aqshy.
  13. Played my first game against Seraphon tonight (first non-stormcast). Went extremely well. Ended the game bottom of BR2. We are playing path to glory so it is a bit different than most. I have had no problem getting 15-20 depravity top of Turn 1. Some pictures:
  14. Sounds like my experience as well. The mesmerizing mirror is definitely a grand time.
  15. There are lots of cases where a unit can shoot but can't receive the AoA command - one of my favorite uses for Blissbarbs is forcing a temptation dice during the enemy charge phase with Unleash Hell, but there are lots of ways to deny AoA (use it elsewhere when not pretenders, have them under a bubble of not receiving commands, etc). Combine with how useful +2 to-hit can be (Slaanesh mirror match hoooo!), I definitely see how +1 to hit would stack. +1 to wound less so - though it does give the unit a "free" casualty with no loss of firepower if you just yoink the brew man.
