  1. They really need to clarify being able to cast the Kairic spell multiple times.
  2. That Gaunt Summoner ability is not an NPE. It is a cool (and very rare!) moment. It is a story maker. NPE crushes imagination.
  3. No way. Tzaangors were a nightmare to play with because there were so many different weapon profiles. Simplified is better.
  4. That's already been happening with Vampires and STD.
  5. Interesting that the Treelord Ancient only lets you bring on a single wyldwood piece.
  6. I do like the idea of Lancers in Dreadwood as you can fight and strike and fade with them and a spite revenant unit without a hit. Equally Heartwood gives you that free +1 to hit...
  7. Yup, I get why people who haven't received a book might feel miffed but it is better for the game that they do. Their book is a disaster zone. Obnoxious units/interactions and a huge swathe of poorly designed/useless units. It is bad for everyone.
  8. On the other hand three of your units get +1 dmg vs those big units. Plus there's less resilience to your monstrous rampages from your mangler...
  9. They include all points, but have REPEATEDLY said that there will be a digital points update on release (which will potentially include changes for newer books). In future I suspect there will be no physical points at all (as will now be the case in 40k), but it was too late to change it this time.
  10. Maybe play a game with it before suggesting fixes?
  11. That's what I am saying, there's still plenty of utility in the unit, it just pales in comparison to renders...
  12. What I will say is that the scroll itself isn't bad. It's just that for 5 points more you get heartrenders who are guaranteed the extra move. Taking a unit of them is absolutely fine; they'll still do plenty.
  13. The great thing about the book is that there are really good reasons for both choices. The more I look at the book, the more I think they've done a phenomenal job with the internal balance. Units (except the foot slaughter queen and melee khinera) all have their reasons for use, as do the subfactions. Love it.
  14. If you think that, I've got a bridge to sell you!
  15. Not to mention, Bloodwrack Medusae are not Scathborn.
  16. Bonesplitterz are definitely better than people thought. That book is a classic example of people looking at what was lost rather than judging it on its own merits. It has a LOT of good things in its favour. Not to say people are wrong to dislike it, especially if they liked the style of the previous book.
  17. I'm thinking Zainthar Kai ends up being quite good vs them
  18. Good spot. the 3+ save is huge. Especially with both wyldwoods and the built in save boost (they will almost never want to pile in 3). With such resilience it means we could well get 4-5 turns of shooting out of them. Not to mention our best current list uses them.
  19. Honestly, I'd rather long range shooting be on the weaker end. The game is better for it.
  20. The one upside to having no monsters is that it can't level up!
  21. It appears that the daemon prince is a double kit with a 'blade of teh first prince' character.
