    Thank you for the replies! It's the Lord Exectioner that we are eyeing up. Mastering how to abuse that -1 buff on a hero within 3" is going to be big in the local meta.

    and what are your conclusions at the moment?

  2. I love the Grave guards. the miniature. Since NH launched, they lost their superb because of the mobility of the reapers. But they still are deadly. I feel that a unit of 10 is pretty much useless: lack of mobility and resistance. I play them by 20 or even 30. One big unit with  grand axe.  They can pretty much melt everything....and be revived later.

    The Spirit Torment allows you to choose between healing a model or if the unit has slain models to return models to the unit. It’s a choice so you can leave an injured model unhealed and try and return models instead.

    However, it does read like you have to declare which option you’re choosing before rolling the dice. So no rolling then deciding to heal if the roll is too low to return a model.

    Something  is still  unclear to me: Lets take an example with spirit host with 3 wounds. I declare  "return models" option. Roll the D3, roll 2. Can I return a spirit host with 2 PV, meaning he's wounded with one wound?  Or do I MANDATORY need (written nowhere) to roll 3 on the D3 to get back a Spirit host at full life?

  4. I see the Bladegheist in several roles in a Death/NH army:

    - as stand alone: 5 is not enough with so few wounds. I'd go at least 10 to 20 depending on your battle plan. In a harassment role, 10 is nice 15 more durable and 20 really hammer everything but expensive. at 10/15 it is a really annoying unit for the enemy. It can fly, can't be stuck in a melee (retrat and charge) and relly can do some net damage without buff.

    - 15/20 in a Hammer role. Buff them and use them to hit the key enemies while your big blobs of other units or big heros advance (anvil role).

    - shroudgar bataillon: I have to think about it. They become durable with a 5++. ATM, I'd go 15+10. I only have 20 for now meaning a third box. (20+10?). Or go full force at 20+20 for main line and build the whole army around it. I'm not sure yet if 10+10 at min investment will be enough. But this is a cheap bataillon and you got artefact and CP...

    hope they print less tomes in advance and just replace the files at the printer more often  

    And I hope that they PRINT ON THEM the version of the tome with the mention "including all rules up to THIS  date  dd/mm/YYYY"

    They could also add few BLANK pages at the end for the owner can add some note/FAQ etc...

    Bladegheists

    I ordered mines: 2 boxes. That's 20. With that, I can do the bataillon or the units I want.  I'd like to see their efficiency as a harassement unit of 10, or a hammer unit of 15 (20 seems overpriced especially with range 1"). I'll see what I can do with the bataillon with 2*10 (I'd prefer 15+10 but I don't have them).

  7. BTW, I noticed that in the France GW Web site, the IronJaws battletome is marked as "definitivement indisponible" which means definitively unavailable. Does it mean that there will be an updated IronJaws/greenskinz/orcs  battletome (with possibly some endless spells)?...

    Dais Arcanum: only wizzards that do not have wounds of 6 or more... That means that the Lord Arcanum (w=6 and LAoGC=7) can't get on the disc. Or did I miss something?

    The reason @kozokus said to reread the rule is that it is written in such a way that it is utterly meaningless.  It is an "and" conditional, not an "or" conditional, meaning that all three of the stated conditions must be met in order for it to restrict casting.  So the only units that can't cast it are ones that have 6 wounds or more and have two or more models and are not already on a disc.  No storm cast units meet these criteria, therefore all stormcast wizards can cast it.  It's obviously not what is intended, but it is terribly written.

    Honnestly, as a non english native language, I read this as a "or" conditioon :/ ....and it should be this way for the sake of the game ;)

    But it is also dumb to limit to wound 6. A Lord arcanum on foot should be able to cast it and ride it!

    He can't go on the sigmar disc, he has too many wounds.

    re-read the rule ;)
