So what does the Shadowstrike-equivalent batallion do now? It's still 150 friggin' points. I am getting that the Priest nominates an enemy unit in line of sight, then what? Add 1 to what? Wound rolls? Rend?
Lord Kroak got a +1 to cast and dispel. One of the most powerful magical being ever existed, is eclipsed without even trying by a nameless dude with a robe from a human city.
The thing is, it feels Kroak shouldn't need the constellation buff. I suppose it'd get OP if he had an innate +3 and then the constellation buff, but I'm sure they could've added a line on his warscroll limiting him to a max bonus of +3 or +4.
Sure, we can grasp bonuses, fucus the list building on it, and in the end maybe Kroak will be able to compete with the nameless dude. How exciting.
I think a lot of people are looking at the warscrolls alone and not taking into account the faction and subfaction rules. Carnosaur by itself is not as scary as carnosaur + coalesced benefits + koatl's claw benefits.
hollow heart wizards can stab them selves for d6 mortals to give all cities wizaeds within 12 that much + to cast then if he stands next to a huricanium +1 then if he is in a cabal +1 then if he is a sorceress and stabs a guy +2
I'm with you on this 100%. It's just upsetting when the only named character we have gets reduced to just a glorified version of our best, unnamed spellcaster unit with minimal/lazy attempts to make him stand out.
yup and tzeench gets to make the lower dice be equal ro the higher dice and nagash just gets +5 so we don't realy seem to be masters of magic do we? just standing next to a pot will do the same thing
thats it scaly hide and +1 to bights thats all that is in that toy chest. you can make a argument for koatle then you are ony giving up your comand trait for somthing half our guys do any way and your artifact. hope you enjoy +1 to hit only on the charge
Warriors are 4+, knights are also 4+ but still 2 wounds. Terradons look the samish? Rippers lost an entire attack profile and bloat toads are removed once they are used? Again grain of salt, hard to tell.
Regarding Summoning. So everything now is d3, right? Slann is general - d3, 3 casts - 3d3, AB - d3. That's a 5d3. I run a little probability test to know, how much points is it per round. Probably the close we can get is 10 per round.
so... now we just run troglodons into melee and cast Kroaks CD through the oracle? suicide bomber lists? followed by skink chief on terradon so those bombs go off on 2+.... @LizardWizard theres a list in there somewhere I swear! we aren't hosed yet!
