AoS Faction Focus is Up!

Presumably, though the Tzeentch table goes all the way up to 36. That being said they generate points more easily than we do.

 

Updated with Command Traits, Artefact and Battalion changes.

With the new summoning changes it's not surprising that the Dracothian's Tail battalion has been completely changed up. Deepstriking stuff all over the place might be good, especially as the Battalion only costs 80 points.

The Saurus Command Traits seem a bit more viable now. A free command point on a 5+ is an extra 1 or 2 each game on average. Rerolling all 1's to hit is good, though if it affected mounts it would be much better. Trouble is that if you're taking a Slaan you will virtually always make them then General since that's the best way to generate summoning points. However, since when your General is slain you then pick another model to be your general and generate a new Command Trait for them, any buffs are good to have.

The Artefacts are a mixed bag. I can't see the Incandescent Rectrices change as anything other than a nerf; sure it's 1D6 wounds healed now but it only removes allocated wounds and it doesn't teleport you away anymore. The Prism of Amyntok is a big buff; the unit can still move, and instead of D3 on a 3+ you're guaranteed at least 1, with the chance for D6.

 

I guess he was one of the many victims of "wording". I 've met many people that thought it didn't work as healing because it said "the last wound" so if he had 1 wound left and 5 were dealt to him, they would just rez him on 3+ instead of not rolling at all !

 

Wondering where to start building a list.

 

SNip

 

Unless FAQed otherwise, yes. Evocators also list their exception to the normal limit of casting their spell under magic, so if Kroak's exception doesn't apply, neither would the exception for Evocators. But, that would be weird, because Evocators are a new unit to AoS 2, and having something written on their warscroll that can't be used at all (unless spells are considered warscroll abilities) would just be weird.

 

So I does look like we have lost our global unbind

 

We have retained it totally, the rest just got 12" more

 

Matched play, Open and narrative have very different rulesets and the warscrolls are written to work in all three. I would not bet on Kroak being able to cast his spell multiple times, but I hope he can. Could that mean that Ripperdactyls will start biting like crazy?

 

Holy moly! That is mad discount! Is it legit? How can they do that? No downsides?
