    Chronomantic Cogs and Krondspine. But the movement shenanigans are more aimed at board control as opposed to being able to charge from anywhere. 

    Thanks for that. Agreed but most lists I'm building centre around 30 Bladegheists and would love to get that initial 9" Vanishing Phantasms a bit more secure.

    So many people are looking for the rules. I'll make a small summary of easy access.

    Not all heroes wear capes. Careful of the mods posting this though. 

    I'm loving Dreadblade. Curse of Loyalty is lush. 

    I'm still taking everything in but there seems to be a lot of combos to make us just... survive. Minuses to hit, minuses to wound, minuses to damage... we just can't be touched!

    Question is, should I run it as Emerald Host or just no subfaction? 

    You'd have beefier hex who could also tank wounds for your general... but then you'd lose access to RotSH and whatnot. I'd be tempted not to bother, with your list.

    Otherwise, we really only can guess based on the lore they gave us. 

    One guess would be that there'll be some kind of teleporting shenanigans with it. 

    Edit: I say guess... I've just reread the article and, to quote:

    "Awlrach adds more than just an eerie model to your forces. He has special rules to help your army get wherever it needs to be on the tabletop, offering his allies passage through the underworlds."

    My 2 pennies on the Incarnate, if you're a week army (like NH), it's a sensible choice. If you're a top performing army, you'd probably want to spend the points on something else. As someone who runs NH and SCE, I know he appeals to the former and less so the latter.

    But, none of them had as bad a starting place as Nighthaunt. None of them.

    Now that's the truth - ha ha! Man, it's been rough! My tactics have always pretty much been the same every game - run around as fast as possible and try my best to avoid fighting. Saying that, I think I'm undefeated in 3rd with my NH. Would never dream of taking them to a tourney mind.

    The last few pages, it’s been mentioned quite a few times that the battletomes released for AoS3 have all been good. I’ve heard plenty of complaining from SCE and Orruk players (quality hyper focused on a handful of warscrolls, other warscrolls, allegiances, battalions clearly left undercooked) and more recently Fyreslayers players who rebounded from “this is a tyre fire” at the Fury release to “this is very underwhelming” with the book dropped. That’s why I’m struggling to wrap my brain around the unbridled optimism. I don’t begrudge people their positivity, but it rankles to see those same folks chide the more cynical types using examples that feel at best “somewhat inaccurate”. 

    That's kinda why I said my opinion is subjective, as are the opinions of those you reference. Personally I feel all the books you mention are good and I don't feel I'm living in hope for the NH release - my anticipation comes from my love of the army and my opinion that GW are handling the new books well.

    I feel they've handled this edition pretty well, when it comes to the actual game. Everything else though has been atrocious, for whatever reason (e.g., the plague), from communication, price increases, release times, etc. Been playing since release and the actual game, it's the best it's ever been. This is all subjective though, of course.

    Maybe I am misremembering, but didn't the points of some of the Kruleboyz units go down from Dominion to their Battletome?

    After a quick Google, it does look like they dropped for Kruleboyz. 

    Thinking more about it though, I do feel NH points were inflated too much as a reaction to their use in LoN. They were never readdressed really after that. Perhaps we'll see a fair readjustment of NH. On the whole though, models are more expensive.

    they are only a point drop away from bein viable

    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.

    It even goes back to Maggotkin. I checked out the discussion thread back during...

    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.
