AoS NEW *rumor*

140 points the new battalion, add the be'lakor profile
uhmm the shards and the horroghast bound cost the same

 

maybe cuz of the bonusses they get in the new subfaction as the mortarch personal retainers? Similar to how some of our stuff is kinda overpriced in coalesced cuz it's really good in starborne?

 

Some Kroak ideas...
What if Kroak had a flexible number of unbinding attempts based on the total number of casts from the opponent? Basically, he can attempt to unbind every casting attempted by the opposing side.
What if he just knows all of the Malign Sorcery endless spells and can switch between them as desired (like Slann do with spells now)?
What if dispelling a spell doesn't cost him a spell?
What if he can somehow attempt to unbind (or dispel) prayers, especially Chaos prayers?

 

One Kroak idea I have is what if he knows all the Seraphon and realm spells and then also counts separately for rule of one? So what he casts doesn't count against rule of one for other casters and vis-a-versa.

 

Ooo I like this one

 

Updated warscrolls

Harridans do indeed get some upgrades.

Be'lakor has a rather decent melee profile, lotsa rend, curious what the rest of his warscroll will be.

And again absolutely nothing on our stuff in that book, further indicating our update in this book is borderline irrelevant and Kroak is going to get his own update.

 

um yay? they just made the bravery requirement a 7 instead of a 6 not a big change and then they made 2 hits on a 6 instead of 2 damage on6 thats not enough of a improvement to justify it going up 20 points

 

Is it me or is Be'lakor a bit underwhelming? 380 points, 14 wounds, 4+, etheral, is a bit tanky but this guy is huge. A single unit of 40 skinks and a star priest can mulch this guy. A few Terradons and a chief and his head will be like Wild E Coyote with all the rock drops. Lumineth will love mortaling this guy from afar.

Or maybe I'm too used to see broken warscrolls?

 

never said it was a big upgrade, just an upgrade

They can also bring multiple crones, which is another small damage upgrade.

But yeah, not super exciting just something.

The powercreep in AoS is rather absurd. 14 wounds with 4+ ethereal really shouldn't be as easy to kill as it is in AoS....

 

no thats just bad over all. it means you have to do 24 damage to him not at all hard to do, it;s one of the many reasons i don't evne consider most monster unless they have or can get a 3+ save or better and it's been that way for as long as 2.o has been out. i mean it's just a thunder lizard carnasuar with a ethereal amulet and no scaly skin

 

I'm kind of glad we're not getting any warscroll updates with this book. I agree it sounds like whenever Lord Kroak comes out we will be getting a much bigger update.

 

and a slightly better -1 to hit buff that still wount efect 70%of the game. maybe they drasticaly improved their melee prophile?

 

BR Kroak, imo.

 

o I agree, it doesn't seem worth it. Not unless there's some hidden synergy in that subfaction. But at the very least they did get some upgrades, minor as they might be.

 

What do you think? Found on the net

 

Someone needs to give the photographer a smack because the cock tease the damage value by only showing the D.

I was talking about this on the discord and my thoughts are.. it depends on the damage. If it's D6 mortals instead of D3, it could be used for sure. The free item is nice and the potential to nuke a hero (for d6) is nice, even if you have to miss out on damage from the basti & steg roll.

On the flip side, you can't use your basti/steg for a shooting phase, it's once per turn, and 2+ makes it (slightly) risky.

If it's d3 mortals, not worth the points imo.
