    They introduced Legends which are declared as not legal in pitched battle anymore.

    Bretonians are sadly part of that group. It's also shocking to see Tomb Kings are now illegal.

    Sayl and Thamurkan's Horde is also on that list.

    That sucks to hear, but thank you for the response, it's much appreciated.

    I guess it's close enough now to Saturday. I already have the book since tuesday.

    Feel free to ask any question and i will look it up for you

    Dang, I'm still waiting on my copy. Are there still points values for Bretonnian units?

    On the other hand, why would it look different if nothing has changed?

    The picture they have for the FEC page has the little stars next to units that implies a points change, yet they have the same points they had from the last points change. Like a little star next to Crypt Horrors being 130 points, etc.

    Battleline behemoths don’t count towards the behemoth limit I believe (this May be an FEC only rule but I do remember it being is an FAQ)

    i assume they will recreate this rule or it’s already a rule

    Q: In a Pitched Battle, if a unit that is a Behemoth can be 
    taken as Battleline, does that unit still count towards the total 
    number of Behemoths that can be taken in the army? 
    A: No.

     

     

    Found on page 11 of the Core Rules designer commentary!

  5. You've got about 500 points of Nurgle mortals (Rotbringers). To bump it up to 1k, I'd definitely consider some more Putrid Blightkings. The Harbinger of Decay is also great, though the official model is finecast resin, which can be difficult to work with compared to plastic.

    What do you guys think about my Epidemius conversion/kitbash? I really want one in my blightcyst, the old model is just so meeeeeeh

    All I need to do now is to get a base and glue some nurglings on it to carry him :)

    That's vile I love it. I see Blightking bits and Beast of Nurgle bits aplenty. 

  7. You wouldn't be able to take them in Plague/Blight Cyst. With those battalions, in the organization box we can see the required/optional units have their names without any bolded text or full caps. This means the battalions require the exact units with those names.

    If you compare it to the Thricefold Befoulment battalion, it has 3 GREAT UNCLEAN ONES meaning it requires 3 units with that keyword, not just the specific name of the unit "Great Unclean One". So you could take Rotigus or the Exalted FW Great Unclean One in that battalion.

    ...compared to say... the new Freyius Peoplium and Flat Duradin books.

    Tell me more about Flat Duardin

    I think if anything it'd be a very nasty GW tactic to make all the new ranges stronger rules wise just to sell the newer models.

    In a perfect world I'd want the rules to be decently balanced across all AOS factions (yes, the WHFB models and factions that are in AoS are just as much a part of AoS now as the completely new lines), and to have new and updated models for all factions.

    Off the top of my head, the new Ogor Tyrant and the new Chaos Warriors are great examples of sorely needed new kits that still keep the wonderful aesthetic of the models they're succeeding.

  9. Model to model line of site has always felt odd to me, especially from a modeling perspective. Although a small difference. you could gain an advantage based on how you base your mini (cork for extra height for example), but a situation that's always struck me as especially  weird is the build options for the Skaven Warp Lightning Cannon and Plagueclaw Catapult. There are 3 build options for both, based on the frame that will affect the model's height by a few inches. So the way you build the model can change how well it benefits from or is hurt by line of site rules.

    In my local group we've been trying the base to base measuring for line of site, and find that it's working well enough.

    Why? All your paying for is rerolling 2s on your plague lords aura instead of just 1s. Swap out the Plague Lord for a Blight Lord and you get a battalion that is better in every single way.

    What decker_cky said. I know it's unreliable, but I enjoy two sources of potential D3 mortal wounds on my kings when they're stuck in combat, and the rerolls are always fun. I also find a Lord of Plagues works better in my lists than a Lord of Blights (I tend to run smaller units). My playgroup also likes to run units where rend is less useful against, and if I need to crack tough saves I rely on the Rustfang artifact or Festus' unique spell, though the Festus spell can be tricky to get off. So yeah I don't disagree Blight Cyst is more competitive, I just find I like what Plague Cyst brings, both as I find the abilities cooler, and they work well in my playgroup.
