I do not envy your painting arm. I have managed to paint NEARLY twenty........can't even begin to image
I run 90 skinks and a few heroes that plus the riders for bastis and stegs so i got little over 100 of the bastards, however only like 30 akinks painted so far to go and i wanted to up to 120
Not sure about the double Shadowstrike, at least not competitively. For a fun list, sure, but against good tournament lists the lack of rend and mortal wounds is really going to hurt alot.
I played it this way for I played it this way for months before, assuming doubling after you added was ridiculous. . Did just fine. Now there's extra range on doubles ( you can manipulate the rolls with curse of fate) and teleporting, I think this version will be better than before ☺
Concentrate on what can shoot him first. The meta looks to be shifting away from shooting which helps. Once up on his vortex he is safe from melee
The app also says a Drakesworn Templar is 200 points down from 500. I think there's a few glitches they will be ironing out. I hope you are right though! I don't understand the increase if the rerolls he brings have less value (no use during priority)
