Being new to the army, it seems like the number of discipline points we can generate every round would be almost impossible to use with how the rules currently are. Am I missing something on this?

Sounds good, didn't realize they were on 25s, almost everything is on 32+ for my NH (so glad I painted up 20 Bladegeists...) and yes I was trying to justify something besides Petrifex, but I just don't see it. I'll probably do a custom color scheme so I can switch things around. I ended up picking up Horreks riders, box of mortek guard, crawler, harvester, stalker/immortis box and a couple foot heroes. I already had Arkhan from the start collecting skeleton horde. Do people have any thoughts on 20 vs 30 mortek guard in a unit? Also I realize they aren't great, but could Immortis guard see some play as babysitters for some of our more fragile heroes?

Woo, showing my newness to the faction. Thanks for the clarification. I'm expecting a box of Mortek guard to show up this afternoon. Am I wrong in thinking that spears may actually be a valid option now with the new coherency rules ? I know I've seen this discussed here and on other forums, but is there a consensus on units of 20-30 guard? I'm thinking with spears you could also reduce your frontage and maybe deny the enemy being able to get all their models in, while still stabbing from 2 ranks. Thanks again for the clarifications/help pretty new to AoS and very new to OBR

Mmm pretty sure they changed it, I'd love it if they hadn't since I've literally got a half assembled Arkhan sitting in front of me. Page 97 – Alakanash, the Staff of Power Change the second sentence of the rule to: ‘In addition, this model can attempt to cast Arcane Bolt any number of times in the same hero phase, even if another Wizard has already attempted to cast the spell in that phase.’

Arkhan can't cast multiple mystic shields anymore. Just picked up most of an OBR army, and have to say I'm a bit worried about these changes.
