AoS Updated points GHB 2019

Hot off the Warhammer Community presses at https://www.warhammer-community.com...-2019-major-points-changesgw-homepage-post-2/

Seraphon briefly dominated the game at the start of the new edition last year, as players discovered just how powerful their new summoning mechanics were! While they’re less prevalent than they were, Seraphon remain a solid army, and the General’s Handbook 2019 consolidates that with some welcome points changes.

Saurus Guard and Saurus Warriors have both been reduced, letting you save points on the core of your collection, while Skinks have seen a small increase. Fans of massive monsters will be pleased to know that both the Stegadon and Troglodon have also seen reductions, with the latter costing a mere 140 points!

Saurus needed the points drop and I am going to be that bit happier I built myself a Troglodon. I can live with a small increase on Skinks so long as they leave my Razordons alone

 

Im in the process of building a Trog, and at 140 I may be able to slip one in.... looking like budget TQ is a new thing for me lol

 

TQ?

 

Thunder Quake warscroll battalion

Needs:
1 Engine of the gods (EoTG) or one Trog

2 in any combination of:
-Stegadon
-Bastilodon

and one of the following
-hunting pack consisting of at least 3 skink handlers and 1 razodon/salamander
OR
- unit of Kroxigor

 

Ah, thanks. Just didn't catch the abbreviation

 

I'm hoping for a 20 point reduction on the Saurus warriors and temple guard. Trog change is nice but imo the warscroll needs some reworking. And the Stegadon reduction is unexpected and quite nice. I will take all of this for a skink point increase of what is likely 10 points

 

The unit size changes for Razordons and Salamanders are sad.

 

It could indicate an updated box of 3?

 

Also EoTG being raised 20 points hurts, understandable but still.

My list will be 70 points over in a weeks time q.q

 

i think its more likely that its to prevent 16 razordon lists

 

it makes sense but still its one of our few viable units so it still hurts. they hit a lot of our good units and didn't realy drop saurus low enough to replace them oh well we will have to see what else they will change to make a proper assessment. im just surprised they didn't hit flesh eaters

 

Anyone with a bucketload of money

 

FEC and skaven will have their own pdf after the ghb, which is surprising and I commend gw for it.

As for us, kind of disappointing. Taking razordons to units of 3 sucks, and nothing they reduced the points of were reduced enough to make them worth taking, over all slight nerf, my thunderquake list is dead and I've got to do the cogs and 10 skinks from my double shadowstrike list

 

ya its a shame we aren't the strongest army and this dose not help lets hope they don't hit us harder with the new alliance changes

 

Yeah, I'll be ok if our alliance changes are good and if summoning is the same or better, but any other nerfs and I think my DoK will be coming back out until a new book is here, DoK are more or less fine still

 

i saw they got increased how do you think that will change things?

 

It basically won't. I'll be dropping 10 SoS that are just objective cappers and that's it. Everyone expected WE to go to 120, but hags are 10 points cheaper than what was predicted, and for some reason lifetakers were increased

 

Is thunderquake just dead now? I’m just starting to play. It’s a little disappointing, I just finished painting my army.
