    lol! If anything, barring massive point hikes the Dread Saurian is only going to get better in the new edition. With smaller blobs of enemies and all the buffs to monsters, plus the ability for Totem units to buff themselves, Dreads are honestly looking like they might be a pretty viable unit. We'll have to see how it all pans out. :)

    Apparently Totem keyworded units can use command abilities in 3e, meaning that at the very least the Dread Saurian can use CP for the basic command abilities like the +1 to hit, +1 to save, etc. Meaning that he's going to rely less on having a Starseer or Slann around him to get buffed.

    Or perhaps it can be used to make a voltron dread saurian. Wait that means I can hit on 2s with my jaws

    That's fair. I can attest to Skaven getting the better deal though, since a unit of 40 clanrats gets the horde discount vs a unit of 40 stabbas.

    Still going to dread the "elite goblin phalanx" though.

    I guess the reinforcement point rumor is true.

    That...really sucks for us.

    Sucks even more if you liked Saurus

    Maybe reinforcement units are units that you summon?

    This rule set is starting to remind me of 8th ed Fantasy. Not sure how I feel about that.

    Looks like I'll be making my own Age of Sigmar with all those changes.

    I truly hate the concept of reinforcement. The Priest is not useful anymore unless you're buffing a Stegadon/Basti. Starpriest, almost the same, or Knights only.

    Infantry won't hold an objective against a Behemoth or Elite unit, like Varanguard or Blood Knights, as they can't be an horde anymore.

    I'm guessing they're going to release a massive FaQ like 9Ed because I don't see how are we going to play with any book right now.

    We need to heavily rethink our strategies.
    40 skinks with starpriest and priest are no longer usable. Saurus Warriors are now useless? Saurus Knights.
    If this is right, then limitation to 1+/-1 to hit/wound is also true.
    Reinforcement points should now be allocated to hard hitting tough units, like Kroxigors

    I wonder why you'd include an understrength unit? Maybe to fill out points?

    My french is rusty but it seems like you can take 0-1 understrength units of each "type." Not entirely sure what "type" refers to here, maybe keyword related?

    If this goes on like that, I think I'll stick to 2.0 rules or play some "recreate battle" type games.

    Eh. They're fine. Core Battalions we're never something I was dreading coming to the game and there's nothing really wrong with these
