oh man, i totally misread the skink piece as they were the only seraphon battleline unit, not that they were only battleline within a seraphon army. That makes me sooooo happy.
The first image lists “Skinks” right above Terradons. They are NOT listed as Battleline. Something is listed as “Battleline” in the first image. Location 3rd or 4th Line from the top. It is not “Skink Warriors”. It is blurry, but there is no sign of the riser on the lower case k. I think it says Saurus Warriors. (But it is idiotic to have only one Battleline choice ...... if indeed there is only one.)
Yeah I am happy that Mixed Order got a little nerf. I enjoy flexibility in army building but get your own Skinks
It looks like Saurus Warriors are the only battleline unit, but Saurus Knights, Saurus Guard, and Skinks are all Battleline within the Seraphon Allegiance. I think thats what the writing on the far right is saying, but its hard to read because of the glare.
Yep. "Battleline" means battleline for everyone in the grand alliance. Skinks lost that. Now they have "Battleline if army has Seraphon allegiance", and that's in the other column.
I like that a lot of units dropped in price. That usually means all my lists that were 1980 points will probably now let me throw in another unit of skinks or something and hopefully hit an even 2000 points. Also I’m curious with the troglodon being 160 if that will let him be more viable on the table.
A slight tweek to his rules would be nice too, although i won't hold my breath. It would be really cool if they pushed his Wizard hunting abilities up a a little.
I love it. Does make the risk higher, but having 50% chance of tp + charge with Curse of Fates overrides its disadvantage ! 50% is just too big to be underestimated ! *while failing is 17%
Very happy that Knights and Guard are 10% cheaper I don't understand why they reduced the cost of Thunderquake... it must have received some significant changes to its wording.
Yeah I hope they didn't nerf it to the ground. It is one of our best bataillons and it got cheaper? It also makes me fear a nerf coming. I hope for the best though.
If I had to guess, it would be that the swift/savage rerolls now only apply to the combat phase. I kind of think that's how the original wording intended it to be used, as whenever I use it in a list my opponent will always be quizzical of it. Evidently it can be interpreted in more ways than one. In any case, hopefully it stays the same.
Because it is too expensive and you can't really win competitive lists with it, as it lacks both the body and the survivability *or you take 2 basti and then lacks the damage* ! So it was a proper change for sure !
Yeah, they should have lowered the cost on Shadowstrike too. It's too random and lacks movement options.
