  1. Just to focus on this one point (not criticising or anything), point drops have been few and far between in 3rd. As a general rule, points are going up to ensure army size is overall smaller.
  2. If it makes you feel better, there's another two 40k articles on WarCom today 👍
  3. A great point. My experience of watching reactions to 3rd edition books so far has seen pre-release panic turn into post-release jubilation. On that note, all 3rd edition books seem to be so far really well done. GW's actually been doing a pretty good job, in my humble opinion. Here's hoping they keep up the good work.
  4. Thanks for the info. Really wanted that terrain box but no way I can justify that price.
  5. Any idea of price for the book and terrain box?
  6. Maybe something like Nurgle's contagion points might work.
  7. Regarding the rules so far, I might be in the minority but I just don't care if they're good or bad. We have one of the most visually striking armies in the setting and I enjoy playing them. I'll be running ghosts, win or lose, and I'll be super happy doing so. I'm not living with trepidation or hope for the new book... I just want to see what's what to know what to paint next. Have held out painting anymore NH until I can focus on my next list.
  8. Just read the whole thing. So Incarnates eat Endless Spells... this sounds like the end of Endless Spells, to me, as a gameplay mechanic.
  9. I played against bow snakes for the first time recently. How anyone can complain about Thunderbolt volley with them basically being able to do it every turn, I do know. They had my life.
  10. I was chuffed with the reveal. Think we did well considering.
  11. Can I put Steadfast March and At the Double on the same unit? In other words, are Holy Commands Command Abilities?
  12. Oh boy, our rules previews might be (currently) lacklustre but our new models look amazing.
  13. Aye, not impressed at all. Hopefully there's synergy for them elsewhere in the book. Best case, they're battline, which means you can run 15. That means 30 shots, 15 hits, and 7.5 wounds (on average). Then you've gotta get past a save which will inevitably be able to ignore -1 rend. Yep, hopefully there's more to come.
  14. If you're running them as 5, go libs. If you're running a block of 10 or above, go vindictors. If you wanna be super cool, then run sequitors at any amount.
  15. Initial thoughts: lush model, mediocre rule. I'll reserve full judgement until the book's out as you never know.
  16. I'd love to run ballista but the odd time I have, that damage is far too swingy for me. Really wish they went the way of 40k and changed it to something like D3+3 damage. Regarding Longstrike, they are fragile but I've only ever lost a unit of them once since 3rd dropped. I figure that if my opponent's done well enough to kill them then they've already probably won the game anyway.
  17. There's not really much mention of the new scoring system here. Just wondering what people's thoughts are relating to SCE. As someone who regularly runs 6 Longstrike, I'm really not too fussed.
  18. How you planning to run this chap? I never include him and kinda forget he exists.
  19. Calling the guy done for now. There's a few things I've still got in mind for him (e.g. the hourglass) but it all involves new techniques, which I'll try probably on some Vindictors. I've plenty of those spare in case it goes wrong. Gonna aim to get the Lord Imperatant to this standard next.
  20. Quick update. Don't think I'll be doing anymore painting this week so currently here. Chuffed with how the glazing worked out. Will be using this white with the other models moving forward.
  21. Cheers. I deliberated what to do with it for a long time and looked at a lot of pics.
