Ok, I see we have a vast difference in the measurement in what is balanced in this discussion.
I would like to post a thesis and discuss ONE point of view from this.
"I am playing BoK and I can never ever win any game versus any of the armies, no matter what tier they are in. I have played A LOT of different lists, since I own 7000 points of the army. I also played competetive lists, that where suggested in this forums, with no success at all.
Therefore I think the game is not balanced enough, to keep my army at a viable point, and I want the game to be fixed to that degree."
What would you say?I d say, Khorne number is 8, not 7 so get to 8000pts and you ll be rewarded 😀
Seriously, I shelved my Khorne army after I read our latest tome 2 years ago. It came around the same time as FEC and Skaven that were way better than what we got at a time where we were already struggling. Today, my friends who kept on playing Khorne have some success with 80%+ of the army being Slaves to Darkness marked Khorne

I ll echo the feeling and wished they had slowed down the release schedule sooner. The back to back releases have just been too much with broken realms books, 2 lrl battletomes just 6 months apart, plenty of issues with gw unable to deliver new releases to the stores for release day where I live and stores unable to restock their shelves with gw products, cursed city expunged from gw website after 1 week without explanation, some release unavailable in certain regions for like a month. This has been more than a difficult time. It has been a disaster. I hope they take advantage of this pause to get their ducks in a row soon

What if it isn't a BR Kroak and it is a new Seraphon Battletome like DoK last one?
Too soon? Dok was close to 3 years old. Seraphon is just a year old

Can we also acknowledge that GW claims Kroak will be getting an even better warscroll? What in the hell? Glad they're spreading the new model love around though
I guess the Belakor warscroll will tell us the direction theiy are going with these. I suspect both Belakor and Kroak warscrolls were very strong in order to sell as much as possible their old sculpts soon to be retired and the new warscrolls won t be as good in relation to their point cost

Fully agree. + they have a teleport spell + they have units that can cross the board in one movement phase...
I am a casual player, started playing a couple of years ago. Like many players I think that what makes me like AOS is a balanced mix between the esthetic of the models, building good lists, improving my tactical skills and the way my army plays . I follow up the meta - although I have other hobbies, a job, a family, etc. It takes some personal investment to build/paint an army (I have several armies: NH, BoK, OBR, started StD). At the end of the day it does not really matters if I win or lose but having a chance to do something on the board is key, otherwise why play?
To make a long story short I have the (maybe wrong) feeling that I belong to a category which probably represents a significant part of the players.
There can be longs debates about nerfing shooting or GW's marketing strategy, etc. Just talking about my personal experience, the powercreep and NPE has went to far for me. I am happy to optimize my lists by buying new units but I am not prepared to buy a new army every 6 months just because it is what it takes to have a chance to win games or at least enjoy AOS. The result is that I have significantly reduced my purchases of GW products in the last 6 months.
Assuming that I am not the only one to react like this, I am wondering if at the end of the day when things go too far the economic outcome of powercreep is really positive for GW.
Sadly, I guess that the answer is yes, it is...:-/
You are not alone. The global pandemic situation may have a big positive impact in gw sales but for me and a few friends, the powecreep and the rules bloat have effected our gw purchases in a negative way for games workshop and I don t see the game expanding its player pool with the current trend of battletomes that are being released

Since you are interested in Soulblight, I d recommend FEC. Also if you can get that broken realm box for them, get it now as it won t last
In the start collecting, you d have bits for a vampire on zombie dragon with the terrorgheist if you want to do that soulblight army later. Also considering an oversea move. That army is not as bad as say lrl to transport. You may put some thought into it while assembling. Magnetize where you can, use ca glue over plastic glue for parts you may have to unglue for your move. I moved many fantasy battle armies from europe to the united states and it was a pain yet models were not nearly as fragile as they are today!

Warhammer community can t keep up with the lrl. Too fast for them

Then again, that is what elf players want, i.e. to feel special (and I do not mean that is a bad way, it is just elves being elves.) What is bad is how it was achieved.
As someone who used to play elves in fantasy battle . I have to wholeheartedly disagree to this statement

There's over a hundred things listed as 'sold out' on FW right now, so I'm guessing it's a website issue that they're too lazy to fix.
Maybe it s Forgeworld way of making an april s fool joke 😜

Well, that s a shame! I guess it was eventually gonna happen. When our first book came out they made this model warscroll a worse version of the regular keeper, and now it s gone?

Will we ever see a point update for the forgeworld keeper? Now that the regular keeper CA can no longer be used on itself , the alternate could be worth bringing or summoning with updated points and summoning points

I'm new to AoS. What are the odds that we're getting a Start Collecting soon?
Slim to none until this winter at least. All we have now is the Slaanesh deamon start collecting

I think the new lumineth points reveal this week end is going to be rough for us in comparison to the points we got

Wording looks like if 5 battleshock tests lead to 5 points...Syll’Eske Host brings it up to 6. With the limitations of no command ability, no magic item, it’s not worth it.
Now, if it was on each battleshock test, making it go from 5 to 10 (in the theoretical example I gave)...now we’d be cooking.
Too limiting, as it is currently.Not sure how you read it that way. All it says is when you receive depravity points you get 1 more if sylleske is alive and within 6in of at least 1 other deamon unit and 1 mortal unit. So the max you get is 1 dp in your turns for losing artifacts, command traits and other factions abilities which generate more dps. This is the death of the sylleskhan host with this rewritten allegiance ability

and why do they do that? Which rule allows them to split when flee?
From their interpretation of count as slain. Now that our local TOs have ruled it that way, this is not going to change unless an faq explicitly states otherwise

I would keep asking the gw rules team for a clarification. My local group plays it that they split when fleeing and English is the only language they know

how do they balance and value? The smart choice to me would be when new additions come thay are balanced to what is already in play and not the other way around, becouse who wants to change 10 units or 1000 units? Could gw atleast did not give them some affektion before closing.
They've released a few articles in white dwarf on this subject. They use their own point calculator. It takes into account the characteristic values in the warscroll, the abilities in it but also the allegiance abilities available to this warscroll within its battletome. And then sometime ajust the points based on customer feedback after its released

I’ve been keeping up with the tournament data that’s been being published via Goonhammer and BoLS since the battletome dropped, and the stats aren’t looking too hot. Take a look at this:
I would not put to much thought into this, many tournament organizers have not allowed our new tome until the faq drops

Kippers eats too much CP and are too expensive but armies with 0 lacks damage and reliable Locus. I like running 1 keeper with either Masque or some other hero for very reliable Locus (4+ 3+ is about the same as 2+) to shut down big units of scary stuff and when it dies you usually have enough DP to get it back in your next move phase.
You can only attempt to locus a unit once so the locus does not get more reliable with two heroes, just like in our previous book

So in Syar the stupid cow can get to a 1+ save right? Pretty sure Vince made that charge knowing very well what would happen

If they go this down in Points the Army would be too good again. So pls not. But jes Somethings can go this cheap, and jes ist true…. we Need a Downraises in Points too nearly the hole Army...
So... Where is the FAQ GW ?!
I don t think the army would be game breaking if they went back to the original points the daemons had in the previous tome and all the mortal except glutos and slickblade could drop 15-20%. Slaangor are a lost cause to fix with point changes but the faq could make the claws attack double if the model has two of them
Speaking of the faq, keep in mind it took 10 weeks for gw to release the faq for broken realm Morathi

The state of the game feels quite unbalance for over a year now in my opinion. While Slaanesh was corrected within 6 months of its original release in 2019, Seraphon and Tzeentch are still untouched from a year of dominating the tournament scene.
Providing no point update as part of the winter faq was a poor decision from gw even if we re about to jump into a 3rd edition. It gives the impression gw does not care about the current of the game at all.
Then the latest dual release of Dok and the new Hedonites battletome shows huge disparities in power level between the 2 tomes which just shows again gw non intention or inability to make the game more balance.
Now as others, I am more concerned about NPE than game balance and NPE is quite high at the moment which sort of has put me on hold with gaming in AOS and looked at other games until those issues are addressed. Lumineth abilities as mentionned in previous posts while not necessarily game winning abilities create quite a bit of NPE to the level of the original Slaanesh release in a meta that had no shooting to deal with it

Yet the new Slaanesh battletome did not include any of the Slaanesh content that was in the Wrath of the everchosen expansion

I am glad I didn t buy the new warscroll cards. At $25 in USD and being incomplete within months of release is very disappointing
