  1. I think the rally change is overblown personally. 10w of stuff is still a lot of stuff if you have 1-3w and a 4+/5+ rally effect. Getting up to 5 hoppers/bouncerz etc back each turn is still massive as a deterrent to putting off people from attacking them, and you can’t rally squig herds anyway. It actually hurts high wound models more who could really spike the rally (eg getting 2 dragons back or buckets of varanguard or chosen). Personally think rally should be your hero phase only too.
  2. SCE. Dragons copped a whopping 55 points increase (still not seen anything come close to that yet in a balance update) and the Draconis +45 at the same time. Put a typical “all dragons” list up by a crazy +375. Not saying it wasn’t justified, but remains the most serious points nerf (and came before release, after a rules changes, and before further rules changes). Gitz is quite light touch by comparison. Average list up by around 150 and no rules changes directed at them specifically.
  3. GW appear to have confirmed “end of October” for the battlescroll on their FB
  4. Warcomm are now saying “later this month”. That’s probably October 31st. More than 120 days since the last scroll when they are meant to be quarterly. Also means that the next quarter will be less than 90 days. Does the next scroll have a short life span? Will there be one at all? Will we abandon the quarterly schedule and just push one out sometime between 80-120 days after the last one? Answers on a postcard
  5. 110 days since the last “quarterly” battlescroll as of today. What even is the point of doing quarterly updates if you’re going to miss it by a full month. Does this mean that the next “quarter” will only last 2 months?
  6. We still doing these updates quarterly or nah Count Days 107 days 22 June 2022 - 7 October 2022
  7. I also like how none of the actually good/high tier books got touched at all. Seraphon nerf is so slight touch it’s invisible. DoK still packing double tap shooting and that’s not even their best list. Fly spam literally hasn’t changed it’s still incredible. Sentinels and wind spirits are still untouched after 2-3 years. SCE get 2 good things and they are nuked out of orbit within 12 months. Dragons are the only unit to get nerfed before they are released and eat 4 successive nerfs in a row.
  8. Because GW only reacts to such widespread outcry with nerfs. Then it takes them years of trivial buffs to make the faction playable again, then the edition resets. This exactly what happened in 2nd. 6 months of gardus and Evocators then the whole faction went in the bin until 3rd. IDD that there were issues. They needed to change, but they were also the two pillars holding the book up. Not only did GW strip them out, they didn’t lower the points of those units, or adjust any other truly awful warscrolls. Any granularity got lost in the sheer outcry. Well here we are.
  9. Hope you’re all happy. They nerfed SCE so hard that battletome is gutted now. Everything good is overcosted, everything else is bad, and all the holy orders are garbage to go with all the garbage command traits. 50+ bad warscrolls you don’t see and gw didn’t lift a finger to do anything about them.
  10. > No SCE points changes > Balance battlescroll coming soon Oh boy am I looking forward to SCE taking nerfs and staying the same points. That sounds like a very reasonable thing to do.
  11. Crucially, warsong can’t be shot in a wood. All the other big characters are >=10w and so cannot hide
  12. Another ghb, another battleplan which turns off reserves for no good damn reason. If after 6 years you still think this is a test of “good generalship”, then ask why there isn’t a battleplan to turn off ward saves, summoning, magic, reviving models, faction terrain, blood rites/high tide, shooting or melee.
  13. New realm spell: Pick an enemy within 12 halve the number of counted models for obj purposes
  14. There are 6 battle tactics which need infantry, and player going second picks an objective that can only be contested by infantry.
  15. No the extra damage is vs ALL troops. Dont know how I could have made that clearer 🤣
  16. Exactly as it is now and how I defined it in my post 🤷‍♂️
  17. Sounds like there are 6 battle tactics for infantry only, possibly with some bonuses, so infantry isn’t entirely irrelevant. But oof.
  18. Okay some clarification on how the new battalions work. There is a new keyword “Galletian Veterans” which is given to all battleline infantry (units without a mount) with 4 wounds or less. Only units with GV can join the battalion to count as 3 models when scoring. The second battalion is any troop (not leader, artillery or behemoth). Units in this battalion gain +1 melee damage vs any Galletian Veteran (and not only those in the x3 scoring). As an example, Liberators gain the Veteran keyword. Battleline Stormdrake Guard can go in the +1 damage battalion and will benefit +1 damage when fighting the Liberators.
  19. Yeah look at current battalions it’s defined there (not hero, warmachine, behemoth)
  20. Any troop unit can join the +1 damage vs. 3 scoring battalion, not specifically limited to infantry models <5 wounds.
