My only wins have been from buffed beatstick black dragon with drakescale cloak and shield to be durable while doing decent damage, and then vitriolic spray on a unit followed by 30 Darkshards shooting. Then they removed drakescale cloak, made the dragon shield worthless, removed the +1 wound aura command, and reduced its damage. And then they removed vitriolic spray too And strangely they did give an extra attack to the basic infantry but got rid of their east horde bonus hit buff. I guess 2 3+ 4+ - 1d attacks would’ve been too much lol Time to break out the 3d printer for the arbitrarily good units this edition

He went from a decent beat stick to a buff piece When I field a giant dragon I don’t expect it to be a fragile pillow fisted buff piece but that’s where we are now

As a dark elf player who owns entirely dreadspears, bleakswords, Darkshards, black dragons and some stormcast this update isn’t looking too good lol

RIP Dreadlord on Black Dragon, was almost viable for a year or so

Since Nighthaunt are rumored to come next with that model they previewed there’s a good chance they may be bonesplittered as well

He’s right, things becoming worse isn’t bad because you can have rewarding gaming experiences like this clown

This quality of rules writing is why I pirate

All of CoS and especially Living City got nerfed HARD in this update -Coalition units no longer benefit from allegiance abilities So all those stormcast and sylvaneth units are now dead weight.

New rumor from my friend who works in GW and has never been wrong before Beasts of chaos will be squatted

Can a model whose base doesn't wholly fit in an area move into that area? For example lets say a big monster is charging a unit in a chokepoint between two terrain pieces, and the monster's base doesn't wholly fit in that space. Is this a legal move? Followup, same question but for partial areas on platforms. Lets say there's a raised platform 3" off the ground and the monster charges up it, but there isn't enough space to fit the entire base. Is this a legal move?

Beastclaw are very, very simple. Just spam stonehorns and keep charging and wiping units until the game is over

What different era? Last month?

Is it just me or are they changing this game to be more "warmachine-y", lots of little tiny units running around and very complex missions and hero and monsters "actions". It doesn't seem like a fantasy mass battle game anymore, especially with the points hikes

Games will be faster and more lethal, shooting will be much more powerful because there will be less places to outflank or teleport behind chaff

How will we be in the same place if everything we don't have is getting buffed and everything we do have is getting nerfed?

They just exacerbated the games main problems, dominance of heavy magic/shooting armies, while nerfing every other playstyle. Having more small units means its harder to buff you units against shooting AND your will be less effective in melee due to combat activations. Rally is so irrelevant that it will not improve survivability in a game full of tiny MSU units

Lack of models isn't really a problem for us, we already have quite a lovely range. Our rules just suck and need overhauling

Playing with the boys same as always, hoping the new rules aren't as bad as they seem

Looks like we're going to suffer massively with this edition until we (hopefully) get a new book -Smaller boards means deepstrike is much harder to pull off -Reinforcement point system kills a majority of our units -No good monsters to benefit from monster buffs -Barely any good wizards -No priests

What are you talking about? Were you even here for 1e? Or even compendiums?

Melee massively nerfed Heros buffed Monsters buffed Shooting buffed Wizards and priests buffed Yeah this game is going to be so bad haha

New leaks from a trusted source (has never been wrong before) - Generic command abilities completely reworked, think stratagems, no longer reliant on heroes - "Heroic actions" as mentioned in the teaser are random effects that can trigger on a dice roll. ie. on a roll of a 6 you can attack twice - Playing into the idea of the double turn, the triple turn is being implemented. With enough command points you can skip your opponent's turn. - New board size isn't the same as 40k's, they really want to play into the AoS is a melee game design ideology. 2k games will play on 3x4 boards

The app (official compendium of up to date warscrolls) has them at 6+, looks like the battletome was an error

Neither black knights nor skeletons got the +1 baked into their profile. They went from 5+ and 6+ with shields respectively to just 5+ and 6+ with no bonuses.

It technically does because, while Legions of Nagash was retired, Legion of Grief has no actual rules connections to Legions of Nagash.
