Now with pics/videos around we now that in fact that those are "reinforcment points" for all intents and purposes. So battleleine unit doubly reinforced will deduct 2 points/slots from Reinforced units allowance.
It is cap after summing up all modifiers. It's elaboreted in note next to point about modifiers at beginning of core rules.
So yes only increased defense is capped, rend is not
One rule is max for all army (4 for 2000pts), and second limit at unit level where battleline unit could be reinforced 2 times, and non-battleline only one time. There was rest of that particular page on teh internetz somewhere
However what @Enoby just posted would mean that Chaos Warriors in particular will be available in sizes of 10/20/30. Which if true will still allow @drcraterto run his duded as he likes them.
Yeah right. There is strange thing about this CA tough as in rumors it was 9" at the start of charge or something. And one playtester few deays ago talked as if that's actually the case. So maybe WarCom article didn't get rule right?
It appears so far that there is no limit on stacking save, only to hit/wound
Interesting point, it's certainly harder to use them. That means if you want to use Fanatics you need sacrificial 5 Hoppers f.e.x.
OTOH +1 to hit benefits them massively
I am not sure, is that really that different to what we have now? Will depend on exact wording but maybe units that lose f.ex. armor save below certain treshoold like some grots and rats will lose it later? Tough it's still kinda worked that way before hmm...
Unless it means all attacks from all enemy units, in such way it would impact everyone
So strange, need more data
It's at -1 to hit, and it uses up resource. It will be really painful only on handful of units/situations and those should probably be addressed at level of warscroll/points. And if points go up and max size of units will go down than you will get much less for this CP than people are thinking right now. So like wrote it's bit too early for getting depressed after looking into Palanthir.
I like that rule, this is something new and I hope it will be good addition to game in long run.
And slain is just game state of model, you who are reading too much into that and that leads to dissapointment.
Throggoths have 2" range, and bases slightly smaller than 2" so they should be mostely fine. Gluttons less so
It certainly looks that way right now, maybe there will be something else, that will influence that?
EDIT: like point increases perhaps?
If not it's time to stock on Marauders and Phoenix Guard

A bit about Stormcasts and next rule blurb
GW stated that books will be compatible.
And I saw many, many rumors and none of them were about warscrolls obsolescence. There is nothing that would point to such outcome as @Kurrilino is claiming
