Starting to look into a blood knight focused army and wondering if there is any way to increase their rend in the book that I might be missing?

Yes and no. Had this discussion with a friend the other day, all changes are for competitive play, casual play isn't considered in faqs and changes as if you're playing open play, or just casual with friends, you can pretty much just do what you want. So yes, it means you can't use them in warscroll battalions, but no because if you're using them, then it's not matched play, so as long as both players agree, you can still use them.

I don't agree with this comparison, it would be more like if you had DLC for a game and the company took it away, packaged it with the dlc of their other game you may or may not play for a significant increase in price, delayed re-releasing of the dlc, and when they release it, it may or may not even be in a usable state considering the comparative dlc from their other game was released 12 months ago and still is only just usable. I play 40k on and off and the app is not worth playing wh+ for. Hell, I would have been fine - note, not happy, but lived with it, if they just put the current app into wh+, but they have destroyed the wheel, are trying to rebuild the wheel, and while they are notorious for not being able to build functioning wheels. I am hopeful the app works available I'll begrudgingly pay for it if we can keep getting digital battletomes, but I don't see any reason to not just stick with the warscroll builder website at this point. I was even considering getting a year pass just for the free model, but it looks like that won't be going out to people for 12 months even with a yearly sub

The second highlight means each unit can only benefit from it once. All 3 can buff themselves.

I used the honest wargamer one, simple and clear

Agreed, one of the biggest complaints about 2.0 was things dying to quickly, so they changed it and now people are complaining things aren't don't quick enough lol I had a game the other day, my opponent stacked saves on his mawcrusher, so I targeted everything else in his army and it was fine.

I will be shocked if we have it by the end of the year

No, fighting involves piling in and rolling your attack dice. If you haven't done this yet, the unit hasn't fought.

Endless spells and unleash hell can pop them on her pretty easily, and if she's not charging, I'm not overly concerned about her continued existence.

With kairos, I'd say no rerolls, as you are only replacing one dice, it says rolls that have been modified cannot be rolled, so even though one dice hasn't been modified, the roll as a whole has

So then why are you saying it doesn't? The TOs rules are still based on their interpretation and go against what the core rules state or are their interpretation of an undefined word that can be interpreted a few different ways. I don't even know what you're trying to argue at this point other than your interpretation is right and everyone that doesn't agree is wrong just because.

Why do we "have to assume" that? Why would you assume the undefined maximum size is the same as the "unit size" listed when you can spend reinforcement points to increase the size. By your definition, if you spend reinforcement points to increase the unit over its listed "unit size", all those models are lost. Without an FAQ, we would have to assume maximum size is how many times a unit can be reinforced, so maximum size is 30. Yes, that would be broken. Yes it needs an FAQ. Yes how TOs are running it is pure house rule assumtions. Comeon buddy, is it really too much to ask to read the whole sentence?

Sadly it seems TOs around the world are in agreement to house rule how horrors work, despite there being no rules conflict. Cannot have more models than your starting number of models other than with sasa. Wounds roll over to blues when pinks are slain, despite being the opposite of what the rules say.

The problem is they've just added a new system that changes the maximum size a unit can be with reinforcement points, and looking at the plain English, that number looks to be what they are referring too. They also made a big deal about getting rid of unit maximums. While I suspect it should be starting size, without a definition, there's no way anyone can make a definitive statement like the poster I quoted did

Where in the rules does it say that? If that's what they meant, they would have said starting size

Kroaks death rule is the same as the old battle tome with just differnt numbers. It's the epitome of lazy.

I think the extra cp would be good to put pressure on for teleports turn 1. I was looking at a 2x20 block list, but I'll definitely be trying an msu list

I like this list, but I wonder if 7x5 stalkers with 2 units of shadowstalkers for the teleport threat would be better. It leaves 120 points for maybe an extra cp, snake spell and 30 point bid. Extra cp and a bid seem to be more and more valuable

This guy doesn't google rat vs snake videos with safe search off

You've always been able to put them on witches, and you should have been. SoS fill a different role. I've won many games by retreating and using my 6 inch pile in to get on an objective. Witches blend high armour units, SoS are tactical insertions.

I like them with bows snakes because you can put some damage into a unit with bows to give sharks extra bite attacks and go in. The sheer damage they do for 110 points is good enough even without the nets

I was considering the same, I think 2 allopex would be a good addition

The wording has always been once per turn. And like I said, there is precident, at least with kroak, so I don't see why this isn't intended.

I don't see why, it seems pretty clear. It's the same wording as kroaks, you can use the CA once per hero phase.

It says you make fanatical faith rolls on 5+ for the wound roll. I can see both sides, the fact that FF does reference both as the wound roll in the last paragraph makes me believe the 5++ is for both, but they have used confusing words that I can see both arguments
