  1. The book is not objectively bad. We have more viable units than some factions have warscrolls. At least 6 (arguably 7) of our 8 subfactions are viable picks. It sucks that we have bad Enhancements and a lot of our warscrolls aren't good enough to see play in tournaments, but many of them can be easily fixed with some point adjustments and/or battleline tags. For example, Evocators would be viable at 200pt and Dracolines would be viable at ~240, especially if they were Battleline (in Celestial Warbringers?). Sequitors would be viable at 130. Many of our heroes are massively overcosted and would see play with a 20-30pt drop. The game is too fast and lethal for Stormkeep allegiance to be viable (and Gargants are a hard counter) but that could change in GHB 2022 when we switch realms and with more armies being released that focus on infantry (Idoneth, Fyreslayers, Nighthaunt, DOK). My biggest concern is that it won't survive the inevitable battletome power creep, or that the universal enhancements will be gutted.
  2. Which book doesn't? Also Prosecutors are far from useless
  3. That is much weaker than I thought it was going to be
  4. Remember when people thought the Stormcast 3.0 book was bad
  5. Okay but all we care about is seeing if/how they changed High Tide and Forgotten Nightmares
  6. They will almost certainly have the Single tag so they can't be reinforced
  7. 30 Vulkites in Hunters of the Heartland with Mystic Shield, AOD, and a 5+ Ward from Battlesmith are a 3+ Save ignoring Rend-1 (cant be Roared) and 90 effective wounds They also rally back on a 4+ Pretty hard to shift that
  8. Hypothetically speaking what if Fyreslayers had a ton of bodyguard units and every subfaction could fight first? Man that sure would be a crazy army
  9. Does that ever matter as long as unit champions can issue commands to their own unit?
  10. Inspiring Presence is in the battleshock phase, Rally is in the hero phase If they spend a turn shooting your Battlesmith they won't be shooting your actual units. That's good for you. You are far too negative my dude
  11. Everything you said is true with the 2nd edition battletome We are not talking about the 2nd edition battletome any more
  12. They are not 100% melee It helps mitigate losses taken from shooting/magic It makes blocks of 30 Vulkites very interesting Historically Fyreslayers are very likely to kill anything they fight, and not get locked into combats
  13. Can't wait to Rally back Stormdrakes on a 4+
  14. Not really any different from the Stegadon spam that is possible with Thunder Lizard
  15. If they lose Behemoth when they become Battleline in Lofnir, Auric Runesons on Magmadroths can be put in Battle Regiments and Hunters of the Heartland as Troops, but as a HERO they can still take Enhancements. Really interesting
  16. Breath attack does literally nothing lmao good job GW and/or warhammer-community writers
  17. New Stormkeep video going live today (10am EST) about how to counter Ironjawz!
  18. There are a lot of " useless" units and enhancements (Vanquishers, Vigilors, Sequitors, all of the Command Traits, etc.) but overall it's not that bad. We have multiple viable shooting and melee hammers, many viable screening units, and a number of useful support heroes. Most of our subfactions are really good or at least useful. I would prefer if everything was viable, but I recognize that is probably an impossible standard with almost 80 warscrolls
  19. Leviadons dont do enough damage to justify spamming them. A lot of their points are wrapped up in their support abilities.
  20. Tauralon is objectively the best MONSTER in our book and I will die on this hill
  21. I really like Blaze of Fury, should be really interesting for Magmadroths
  22. I believe we've only seen repacks for Nurgle, Stormcast, and Orruks. I haven't seen any 3rd ed packaging for any other armies yet at any store I've been to since last summer.
