Yes, the jaws are only 2 damage now too. So their melee potential damage is now 12 (6 from bites and 6 from weapons) which used to be 13 but the damage is much more reliable now. The max size unit also got reduced down to 3 (was previously 4).

It was 12 even before. 5 blades, 4 fins and 3 bite.

[Katakros VS Archaon who would win?]

I bet on a Vigilus ending. Archaon shows to be unstoppable and invincible, but he's just one guy and despite chaos winning everytime he takes the field Katakros outmatches him in a strategic sense. The whole "you can win every battle and still lose the war".

10 wounds for 90 points with a 4+ save is great for battleline tax. And plenty of other options to be battleline as well.

They also have a once a game reroll all saves.

It's in the ship rules

Can you fly high with an ironclad with 10 arkanauts in garrison 9" away from the enemy and shoot with them afterwards?

Yes, but actually no. You can, but they changed the arkanaut pistols range to be 9", so you can only shoot with special weapons or with thunderers

Thanks Gecktron, my main confusion is the Iron Sky Squadron mentioned that they could disembark before or after flying high, from the Garrison rules I cant quite see the significance of that.

The Garrison rules on the ships specify that you can't embark/disembark after the ship moved or used fly high

ITC said they were so busted they were banning them from tournaments (ITC being a huge deal in 40k).

I don't follow much 40k, what was so busted in the IH that TO had to ban them when absolutely overpowered  things gets allowed all the time?

Its kind of creating a weird situation where you never really know when you are going to get nerfed or buffed.

You know exactly when you are going to get nerfed or buffed. Two weeks after a new battletome comes out for unintended rules interactions, twice a year with the rebalancing faqs and each year with the GHB/CA.

You can use it as often as you want in High Tide.  There is an FAQ that states if the command ability doesnt say which phase it is used in it is used in the hero phase.

Thanks

[AoS 2 - Idoneth Deepkin Discussion]

Hi guys. I am starting with Idoneth and I have two questions about Volturnos command ability. From what I can understand there is no limits about how many times I can use it in a turn right? And as there is no indication about the timing I can use it whenever I want, like before or after charging?

[AoS 2 - Ossiarch Bonereapers Discussion]

The Mortis lose a lot of appeal when you realize that anybody can use Katakros command ability. Yes, it gives an additional +1 save to Mortis but then you realize that if you were playing Petrifex you would already have that on the whole army instead of just on the units within Katakros bubble.

Allegiance ability nerfed? “Instead of making a normal move in your movement face, 1 friendly sylvaneth unit ... can navigate the realmroots”

Does it mean that only 1 unit can do so? (No need now to roll a dice, though)

Yes, but Trees have their own teleport ability.

nah I've been trying to squint at that one for ages... I'm getting old!

Now they have the bloodbound keyword... and their melee damage is 2. They literally doubled their melee output.

are we to hope that the slaves to darkness might be included in the battalions somewhere?

Also I hope khorgoraths are upped to units of 8... 6 is such a slaanesh number!

Khorgoraths have something much nicer for them. Can you see it?

So much extra stuff, but no point increases. I am curious if there are any governs on the laterns and such.

Most of it are just artefacts.

In the end the stormcast have:

A prayer for every priest (basically the equivalent of a spell lore)

1 Artefacts +1 for each battalion, that can be chosen from the following lists:

weapons
armour
talismans
Banners  (for TOTEM)
lights (for Castellant, Azyros and Veritant)


And the trait for the steeds, which is a true addiction.
