    It remains to be seen how well these go over.

    Apologies in advance if the following comes off as a bit of a rant.

    My biggest areas of concern with the upcoming edition are the roster changes, as apart from big guys and certain specialists they seem to imply that you're otherwise capped to what's in a single team box. If that is the case, then some teams are going to be fucked for choice. If it is not, then GW needs to unfuck their communications issues and actually say so.

    Of particular note relevant to the forum, Lizardmen. That box set contains the max number of 0-6 saurus blockers and 0-2 chameleon skinks you could take in a Lizardmen team, which is fine, but you could also only ever get 4 skinks per box. That's not to say that skinks are bad - they're supposed to be your agility-based ball carriers, after all - but if that's all you're getting and the only addition you can get is a kroxigor, you're capped at 13 players total, and bear in mind that skinks have thus far been supposed to be "linesmen" for the purpose of journeymen hired on as inducements, and thus aren't capped at the moment.

    This is just more "breadcrumbs for ducklings" when what we need are the "meat and potatoes" of it, and that I feel we'll only get when the physical rulebook is in front of us. This was the same issue I saw with Horus Heresy, and I can tell you that it's not fun to follow.
