I think we will definitely end up with the 40k rules of second rank fighting as long as the first rank can. If not it will ruin so many other armies not just beasts including the SCE poster boys with 40mm and 1" reach! I think we will be fine with the new rules.

This makes our herdstone a little more vulnerable, however having a dedicated cockatrice to go smashing faction terrain doesn't seem like a bad shout!!

Not much of a buff to the voice as they have a built in -1 anyway! Also shaggoth is a monster so no change for us for that!

So I bit the bullet and got two, I can see uses, especially with Dex + KOS with Swift and deadly in Godseekers to just generate D3+1 DP a turn! Syn may get some use in my HOS but will definitely get some use in my LOFP force!

Tabletop standard Exalted Chariot 10 Daemonettes The wings of the twins.

Not massively thematic.... but Syn in a legions of the first prince just choosing heroes for flamers to delete. As with no range needed it could make deleting the bigger heroes a piece of cake! Something like

The Beastlord Grisly trophy no longer costs a command point. Run near some enlightened and they become really potent!

I could see this this working to spike out Heroes with Blissbarb as it is just +1 to hit rather than just in combat. Essentially goodbye LoS for that hero!

It does seem mortals have just been left out a bit. It's a massive shame that the voice isn't as much of a buff piece or caster as we were expecting!

I was hoping for a bit more than a 1 cast wizard However the ranged DP generation is nice!

The Free command seems to lend itself to lurid haze....

With a board size reduction and change to command points I can see a big switch into godseekers from lurid haze which would be nice. Pretenders would also be a lot more viable with the extra command points !

If they have more than one melee attack profile the +1 attack could really stack up!

Interesting, this + a -1 to hit on the talon. Not just combat which really does help! If there's a bit more survivability on this it may work out.

180 point lord of pain and shard speaker 160 point slaangors 😆

If he loses all his wounds he dies with no roll.

It's not looking great for us. I'm still getting both for painting meta but I really hope they work!

Oh wow Herdstone.. is that even still a thing? I think warseer and Dakka are probably still about. I quite like running two as local meta has a lot of monster casters so on good days they're gone in turn two and i can dispel the little casters a bit better! I've been running this with a fair amount of success 7/5 atm, Spawn and 2 x Cygor aren't in the battalion. It's going to be a shame when BoC lose their battalions in 3.0 Allegiance: Beasts of Chaos- Greatfray: GavespawnMortal Realm: GhurLeadersDoombull (100)- General- Command Trait: Unravelling Aura- Artefact: Champion's DoomcloakDoombull (100)- Artefact: Mutating GnarlbladeBeastlord (90)Battleline6 x Bullgors (280)- Great Axes6 x Bullgors (280)- Great Axes10 x Gors (70)- Gor-Blades & BeastshieldsUnits5 x Centigors (80)1 x Chaos Spawn (50)10 x Bestigors (120)BehemothsCygor (140)Cygor (140)Ghorgon (160)Ghorgon (160)BattalionsBrass Despoilers (180)Endless Spells / Terrain / CPsExtra Command Point (50)Total: 2000 / 2000Extra Command Points: 2Allies: 0 / 400Wounds: 160

Yeah they're not bad I love running a pair!

If he is getting one it'll probably only be a two pager like with Legion of the first prince!

I too love shalaxi, I love spears and polearms. Absolutely love the two from the Dread Pageant and going to be using the new SCE for a unit of myrmidesh! I'd love slaanesh to have a group a polearm using infantry! All this waiting is killing me now I need to know what Saturday brings with the new kragnos rules. One worry is the voice is an absolutely amazing buff piece and we become the next Archaon home!

Maybe damage = 1/2 would total of hero or monster. That's scary damage but the smaller heros aren't negatively impacted meaning you only throw shalaxi at a worthy foe. As first 6 v heros means you just go picking off the small fries.

With shalaxi as they don't seem to be opposed to autohits have the spear autohit Vs monsters and heroes similar to the lumineth blademasters strike.

Slaangors are just so gutting especially after seeing the statline from Slakefrey before the book released so much promise! I do also like pretty much all of the book the warscrolls are pretty good a couple of nerfs on the epitome and Kos sucked but overall pretty good. I'd really like a reason to run shalaxi though as the lore is great just nowhere near as effective as it needs to be now. Hopefully kragnos holds some great things for us.

I mean if they just had double the attacks with the claws they'd have the same output as enlightened! They also need the brayherd keyword like the enlightened as them not being able to ambush sucks!!
