  1. The preorder article intentionally left out stormdrake guard. 2022 release. Question is will GW release them a week before or a week after the Winter FAQ nerf?
  2. In typical GW fashion (give the absolute bear minimum of information as late as possible), we have no idea. Could mean they’ll follow next week, in December with the big dragons, or even later.
  3. While I don’t think the list is bad by any measure, it’s worth bearing in mind that this is one of the actual rules writers, so skill and experience undoubtedly plays a part.
  4. Actually I think this list can probably drop a mega a turn. If you mob one you’ve got 16 MWs plus the ~6.5 damage from buffed tempestors. That’s 22 damage before anything charges in. Edit: 2 unbuffed Fulminators can likely drop a gargant if they charge after that.
  5. Hope he checked with each of his opponents for committing one of the Great Hobby Sins
  6. Wasn’t this basically Vlads strategy in TOW? Essentially: a vampire, but not a ****** about it
  7. There are no characters you can buy currently that are worth investing in Praetors. Either the character has a ward already, or you are doubling their cost (just bring another character), or you can protect them with Mirrorshield. Now when the big dragons are out they may be a choice.
  8. 90% of the old world models are tonally inconsistent and should be squatted, and all the primary antagonists being old world characters is lazy, forced and uninspired.
  9. Isn’t that a road map for every game system except AoS now?
  10. I’m right there with you, my enthusiasm is at an all time low. Book delayed; models currently 7-8 weeks behind the book; long FAQ time making event legality uncertain; all melee mobility options stripped out except for Imperatant when annihilators that aren’t available, a run and charge CA that doesn’t work with run 6” CA, and translocation; the likelihood that translocation will be nerfed; the likelihood the Stormdrakes will get nerfed; and now the possibility that it will in fact be a triple nerf. And all of this stretched out over a 3-6 month period with no communication about what the future holds. I’m constantly rewriting lists not because I’m excited to try new things, but because the ground keeps getting pulled out from under my feet.
  11. There’s an unverified and unsourced rumour going around that Stormdrakes will get a points hike in winter faq, a warscroll rewrite and celestial menagerie will change. Also multiple people claiming sources tell them translocate will be nerfed.
  12. And now Translocation is our thing, it’s what we do. Not really seeing your point
  13. Here I have preemptively made a list: Nagash hurting himself with an endless spell, using Protection of Himself to teleport 9” away, then moving 9” Wind Spirits that move 24” then 12” in both players shooting phase KO boats that can use a pregame move to fly high before the game starts Hand of Gork Mawkrushas 12” away then use mighty destroyers to move kruleboyz teleporting monsters 9” away before the game starts Living Cities coming on from the table edge 9” away, shooting, then moving
  14. 6 Longstrikes doesn’t make a shooting list imo. You can definitely lean heavy into shooting with then, but they slot nicely into any kind of list as a support piece.
  15. I’d suggest that the problem with big blocks of redeemers is that it’s just a lesser version of gargants. Not only do redeemer units actually degrade, but they don’t score bonus VPs for being a monster, and they don’t kill very well. The rage at the moment seems to be highly aggressive lists with min battleline for holding objectives, where you invest all your points in the Killy stuff. In that paradigm Stormkeeps are kind of wasted on the 5 man units; whereas Scions can be used to help keep your good stuff off the board. This means that it can’t be killed by another alpha and can also be dropped in where it’s needed as a pseudo counter-deploy. Especially advantageous for Vanguard Raptors so you can get them into range of something that might otherwise hide >36” away. From what I can tell, that also means you aren’t invested in needing to go first, so aren’t at as much risk of a double or exposed to an enemy castle, etc.
  16. Not sure why everyone feels the need to point this out all the time. That was ****** for marine players and it’s ****** for us too.
  17. Earliest SCE preorder date will now be 6 full weeks since the battletome preorder. 10 weeks since the Dominion release date, when many of these models were previewed. Not a word from GW.
  18. No FAQ today, go out this weekend and lay low the tyrants with unnerfed Translocation.
  19. Going out on a limb but I’m pretty sure there’s established fluff that the old Nehekara empire reached the border princes (before there were border princes) and built barrows. I think there was also rules for this at one point.
  20. I’d say no. The Voidstorm scroll is instead of rolling, so once you’ve decided to make the roll you are already past the point of being able to use it.
